JBH Guitars Custom FS
The FS model is JBH's flagship acoustic concert model. Similar in size to the ubiquitous Martin OM, the FS offers a rich aural spectrum with a tonality focused towards enhancing the treble clarity while maintaining powerful bass. Light and responsive, this instrument represents the culmination of my design and build work as a luthier since 2006. The FS model is very versatile. To customize the look and sound of your FSP, the exact design details as well as tonewoods can be tailored to your preferences.For the most clear, balanced and traditional sounding acoustic guitar tone a European spruce top with rosewood or cocobolo back...

The FS model is very versatile. To customize the look and sound of your FSP, the exact design details as well as tonewoods can be tailored to your preferences.
For the most clear, balanced and traditional sounding acoustic guitar tone a European spruce top with rosewood or cocobolo back and sides is recommended.
For a warmer, rhythm guitar sound with a slightly more mellow tonal profile, choose cedar or redwood for the top. Alternately, opt for a more damping tonewood for the back and sides such as walnut or mahogany for that warmer tone.

SHIPPING INFORMATION
The Luthier Bench advocates for a series of precautionary steps when shipping a guitar. We highly recommend that Sellers follow the following guidelines outlined in our Knowledge Base article: HOW TO SHIP A GUITAR. Important pointers like loosening the strings prior to shipping are detailed in the article.
Our shipping policy is straightforward - every domestic shipment from a USA-based Luthier to a USA-located Buyer will be charged a $150 flat fee, including $5,000 of comprehensive shipping and purchase insurance. For international shipments, our platform charges a flat fee of $350 for shipments originating in the USA to any EU address ($450 from EU workshop to USA Buyer and $250 from EU Workshop to EU Buyer), also including $5,000 of shipping and purchase insurance. After purchasing a guitar build on our platform, our logistics team will directly reach out to the Buyer to: (1) confirm the transaction; (2) offer Buyer an array of shipping alternatives; and (3) determine desired insurance level coverage.
