The Pratley design is inspired, and the build is exceptional; with a uniquely created neck joint to enhance setup and playability and quality hardware as standard. Made for the Australian climate, Pratley’s signature bracing design means that the guitars can better tolerate fluctuations in humidity; ensuring exceptional performance in both dry and humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe Tonewoods\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePratley Guitars\u003c\/strong\u003e have a real passion for using the native timber from our beautiful country. Using Australian tone-woods gives \u003cstrong\u003ePratley\u003c\/strong\u003e acoustic guitars a voicing that stands out among international brands. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUsing local native timber species allows each \u003cstrong\u003ePratley Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e to be much more environmentally friendly. Instead of importing timber from different countries all over the world, a number of premium tonewoods that grow within 4hrs drive of the \u003cstrong\u003ePratley\u003c\/strong\u003e factory are used. This combined with the fact that the \u003cstrong\u003eBunya\u003c\/strong\u003e soundboards come from trees that can be harvested after 30-40 years makes sustainability a big part of the \u003cstrong\u003ePratley Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e ethos. (For example, Spruce soundboards often come from trees 200-400 years old).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePremium Australian tonewoods you can find used in a \u003cstrong\u003ePratley Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e are \u003cstrong\u003eQueensland Bunya\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eQueensland Maple Silkwood\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAustralian Cedar,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAustralian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Blackwood\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026amp; \u003cstrong\u003eQueensland Blue Fig\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Each \u003cstrong\u003ePratley Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e has a fretboard made with either \u003cstrong\u003eJohnstone River Teak\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eWenge\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eJohnstone River Teak\u003c\/strong\u003e (JRT) is a topical hardwood similar to \u003cstrong\u003eIndian rosewood\u003c\/strong\u003e in density \u0026amp; oil content. It makes a very stable fretboard that sits perfectly in the sweet spot of oily, hard, \u0026amp; with a good weight. It also holds frets very well. \u003cstrong\u003eWenge\u003c\/strong\u003e is an African wood that is beautiful and dark. It is tonally \u0026amp; visually amazing. This super hardwearing tone-wood is a great addition to the more expensive models.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe fretboard is also a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003efloating fretboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e with its end sitting just above the soundboard. Many companies compromise the soundboard geometry to create the correct angle to glue on the fretboard. Others machine the fretboard thin to thick to create the angle. \u003cstrong\u003ePratley Guitars\u003c\/strong\u003e keep the full thickness of the neck \u0026amp; fretboard through, past the last fret and then allow the fretboard to float above the top. Traditional stringed instruments  such as violin \u0026amp; cello also do this as it allows the maker to focus on the voice of the soundboard without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe Neck\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe neck carve is high performing with 2-way adjustable truss rod \u0026amp; twin torsion bars. Both Truss rod \u0026amp; torsion bars run across the 14\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e fret body intersection which prevents any hump forming. Having the truss rod \u0026amp; bars run the full length of the neck allows for a more even relief arc from 1st to last fret.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePratley Guitars\u003c\/strong\u003e use a set neck joining method which means the full thickness neck is glued into a solid timber pocket. The natural taper of the neck when fitted into the pocket creates a wedge joint similar to a horizontal dovetail. \u003cstrong\u003ePratley\u003c\/strong\u003e have also eliminated the\u003cem\u003e 'OLD WORLD' \u003c\/em\u003eheel which came from the Spanish heel method of construction. Removing the heel has reduced weight and allowed greater access to fretboard. Each neck is carefully fitted and glued into the body pocket to maximise resonant transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe Bracing\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUsing his Industrial Design background, \u003cstrong\u003eMartin Pratley\u003c\/strong\u003e has developed the \u003cstrong\u003eA-X\u003c\/strong\u003e top bracing pattern to prevent bridge roll (top belly-ing) while enhancing the articulation and sweetness of tone. The bracing is also made from premium quarter sawn \u003cstrong\u003eBunya\u003c\/strong\u003e and is designed in a way that improves resonant transfer between the top, sides \u0026amp; back. The backs also have a 4.5M radius dome joined with the sides using their proprietary laser kerf linings.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe Headstock\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAn optimised \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScarf Joint Head Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is used to provide a good string break angle and superior strength.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Pratley Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42753280409684,"sku":"PRINDI-M22P-TMB","price":4399.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/9398\/6900\/files\/PRINDI-M22P-TMB_8ad33477-f76a-45f2-a2de-5fa7120446bc.jpg?v=1765452515","url":"https:\/\/musiciansoasis.com.au\/products\/pratley-indigo-pro-single-cutaway-solid-body-electric-mini-humbuckers-transparent-midnight-black-prindim22ptmb","provider":"Musicians Oasis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
