About the Deep 4/5

fretless. hollow body. The most hollow instrument in the range: a thicker, more chambered body with thinner side walls and an f-hole over a slightly thinner centre block, giving the most convincingly acoustic, upright-like voice the shop offers. Ebony fingerboard and bridge, matching bound headstock, sculpted heel, volume plus stacked bass/treble on the bridge, about 7.5 lbs. Lined or unlined fingerboard; built fretted or fretless. Rob Allen builds to order and publishes no list price; no new stock of this model was listed at the time of writing. Comparable models run roughly $4,400–$5,500. Handbuilt in Fillmore, California.
