Builder Notes

This is the largest guitar currently in Jeremy's production line. Model 5 has a 15 5/8" lower bout that puts it closest to a dreadnought in the Pappenfüs lineup. It was designed through a collaboration with a friend who wanted something with presence.

The top is salvaged Western Red Cedar from an old logging bridge. The back and sides are Catalox, a dense tropical hardwood. African Paduk binding and Bird's Eye Maple inlays give the guitar its visual identity.

Jeremy described this one as having "attitude and a hearty helping of soul."
