Florentine cutaway acoustic guitar.

Cutaway bodies are mainly of interest when discussing acoustic guitars and semi acoustic guitars. The cutaway of an acoustic guitar gives access to the upper frets. The scooped cutaway is a separate piece of matching wood that is manually bent fitted and glued into place with additional trim work. Buy now 66 00 19 lessons 2 11 20.

The luthier provides this access by removing part of the body of the guitar under the upper neck. A florentine cutaway comes to a sharp point creating a horn like shape.

Virtually all solid body guitars either have at least one cutaway or have a body shape such as the flying v guitar which does not intrude into the upper neck area.

The luthier may choose to shape the cut out a few different ways. The two main variations are venetian and florentine. It is more complex and labor intensive to craft than the venetian because the guitar is initially built as a non cutaway after which a section of the treble side upper bout is sliced out. If you play the acoustic guitar and prefer easy access to the upper frets an acoustic guitar with a cutaway is a good way to go.
