These guitars are the first 3 made by the Ribbecke Guitar Corporation.   The Halfling is the 1st new innovation in Acoustical Guitar design in 25 years.  It combines the best attributes of archtop and flattop guitar architecture utilizing a unique and patent pending soundboard design with a built-in adjustable sound port.  Thru advanced Luthier concepts, the flat bass side of a “Steel string”  or “Classical” guitar top is combined with the carved or arched treble side of the sound board. The instrument is capable of large full fundamental bass response with ability to hear and distinguish all the notes of a complex chord when ringing together.  The result is an instrument that offers additional sonic flexibility and versatility for jazz, country and pop styles.

These Artist Series Halfling consists of fine premium citka spruce, big leaf maple and ebony woods with construction and voicing based on the time proven methodologies and practices of a Master Guitar Craftsman.   Comes with a Ribbecke (by Bartolini) floating pickup and Cedar Creek HSC.
