Discover the epitome of acoustic excellence with the Pratley Premier series, a finely crafted instrument exuding classic style and refined elegance.

Model: Tasmanian Blackwood with AAA Queensland Blue Fig Soundboard This model features hand-selected Tasmanian Blackwood for the back and sides, paired with a stunning AAA Queensland Blue Fig Soundboard. Pioneered by Martin Pratley in the mid to late 2000s, the Fig soundboard offers a rich, rounded tone with a sweet finish to notes, boasting a mid-range presence and natural compression. It occupies a unique sonic space between guitars with Spruce or Bunya tops and those with Blackwood or Koa tops.

Key Features:

• Tonewoods: Crafted with precision and care, this model showcases the beauty of hand-selected Tasmanian Blackwood for the back and sides, complemented by the tonally rich AAA Queensland Blue Fig Soundboard.
• Fingerboard and Bridge: The fingerboard and bridge are meticulously crafted from select Johnstone River Teak, renowned for its durability and oily nature, rivalling many rosewood species in quality and performance.
• Finish: Finished with Pratley's premium Satin Nitrocellulose lacquer, the soundboard is fully grain-filled using a proprietary method and treated with a translucent vintage amber finish, enhancing both the guitar's aesthetics and its resonance.
