BOZO | ACOUSTIC: JAPANESE MODELS | Most of Bozo's guitars feature original designs and only resemble traditional shapes. Models B3, B5, B8, B10, and B15 are all traditional classical models. Models B20, B25, and B30 are called grand concerts, but they are more of a combination of a classical guitar and an OM-style Martin. The B35 is based on traditional a dreadnought. The B60, B80, and B100 are all Bozo's Bell Western design, which is a cross between a dreadnought and a Gibson J-200. | B3 | - classical style, solid cedar top, laminated rosewood back and sides, round soundhole with rosette, multi-ply body binding, cedro or mahogany neck, 12/19-fret unbound rosewood fingerboard, Bozo open-style unbound headstock with three-per-side open-style gold tuners, rosewood bridge, Natural finish, mfg. mid-1970s. |
