About the AGP-07
The AGP-07 features a classic auditorium body shape that offers an excellent balance between comfort and projection. Its proportions fall between a traditional small concert guitar and a full-size dreadnought, making it an excellent choice for builders seeking a versatile steel-string acoustic.
The detailed full-scale drawings cover every major component of the instrument and are intended for builders who already have a basic understanding of acoustic guitar construction.
