Don't get it wrong, it is not the International French Star who ordered this model, but an anonymous guitar player who is passionate about beautiful guitars and wanted his own model.
Therefore, using the nylon steel string flat top guitar CFN10 as a model, we built the CFN10-JOHNNY by adding a 7 th string, a complete mother of pearl garnishment including bindings, mother of pearl 'Tree of Life' vine inlays and a signature on the headstock. The whole is highlighted by a black colour finish. The machines are individual “Waverly” with black dots. The instrument is amplified by LR Baggs Imix onboard .
The instrument was entirely made by one of our guitar maker.
