This Michael Ritchie guitar is a departure from his usual Spanish style instruments. Primarily aimed at Jazz or crossover musicians the guitar is still constructed using the exact same methods as his standard classical models, the only difference being the cutaway. Also the Sitka Spruce top, although occasionally found on classical guitars, is more typically found on steel string guitars. The guitar comes with a KK pickup fiited under the bridge and a pre-amp.
