The Brahms guitar in the style of David Rubio and Martin Woodhouse. It has a spruce top and rosewood back and sides.

I designed a tailpiece for this guitar to allow the endpin to be angled and adjusted, while allowing the strings to be tied to it. Angling the endpin results in greater stability while playing in the vertical posture, not to mention the comfort of easily adjusting it to any height. In addition, the strings can be tied directly to the tailpiece to take some tension off the bridge. I machined this piece out of solid brass and was able to attach it to the instrument without screws or glue; only using the original peg for the endpin.
