This model used the elevated fingerboard, which really thins the body at the neck block, with the effect of raising the fingerboard which provides better access to the upper frets, and increases the upward angle of string tension at the bridge. Thomas Humphrey died in April of 2008 at his home in Gardiner, New York. It has a solid Red Cedar top with Sitka Spruce bracing and laminate Indian Rosewood back and sides. The body uses a tapered construction to allow the elevated fingerboard. the neck and headstock is mahogony. The bridge and raised fingerboard are Indian Rosewood.
