Richard worked closely with Scott Law to come up with what Scott called a ‘bulls-eye recipe’ for a responsive, playful dreadnought with a dynamic range that can hold its own in ensemble settings. To accommodate his diverse musical styles, Scott needed a serious instrument that would cut through with clear low end, but with the warmth and trebles needed for pristine solo work. In Scott’s own words, ‘we weren’t going for a signature model from the outset, we just ended up designing a killer guitar with my name on it. I totally respect the consistency and build quality the SCGC shop puts out. I have three of their instruments, plus, it’s just a great family of folks running a small, sustainable shop that are super fun to hang out with. Made it an easy choice.”
