Froggy Bottom Model K Deluxe 12 String - German Spruce & 5A Quilted Sapele #K2592

The Froggy Bottom Model K Deluxe 12 String is the kind of instrument that reminds you how rare it is to see true mastery applied to something already uncommon. A 12-string from Froggy Bottom is not just another variation in a catalog, it is a deliberate, infrequent creation, built when everything lines up just right in the shop.

Michael Millard has spent decades at the bench refining a voice that is unmistakably his. As the founder of Froggy Bottom Guitars, his approach has always been about patience, restraint, and an uncompromising ear for musicality. That philosophy carries through his small, exceptionally skilled crew, each instrument benefiting from a level of attention that simply does not exist in larger operations. The result is a guitar that feels cohesive, responsive, and alive in the hands.

This Model K Deluxe 12 String starts with a German Spruce top, chosen for its headroom, clarity, and dynamic range. It is the perfect engine for a 12-string, where separation and balance matter just as much as power. Paired with 5A Quilted Sapele back and sides, the tone leans into a rich, focused low end with a shimmering, articulate high register. The natural chorus of the 12 strings blooms with depth, but never loses definition.

Visually, it is every bit as striking as it sounds. Curly Maple bindings and grafts frame the body with contrast and elegance, while the Premium Wild Caught New Zealand Paua Abalone rosette and backstrip add a vivid, organic brilliance. The Green Abalone #3 Fleur de Lis fingerboard inlay and abalone frog logo at the headstock tie the aesthetic together with classic Froggy Bottom identity, elevated by a bound headstock and rosewood veneer.

The build is anchored by a Honduran Mahogany neck, paired with an ebony fingerboard and bridge for stability and precision. The 1 7/8 inch nut width and 25 1/4 inch scale length give the player enough room to articulate complex voicings while maintaining a comfortable feel for extended playing. Chrome Schaller mini tuning machines keep the setup clean and balanced, while the belly bridge and ebony pins with paua abalone dots complete the thoughtful design.

Strung with a John Pearse BB 12 String Set, this guitar delivers the kind of lush, piano-like presence that only a great 12-string can offer, but with a level of control and refinement that is exceedingly rare. At just 5 pounds 4 ounces, it is also remarkably responsive, translating even a light touch into a full, blooming voice.

Housed in a Black American Vintage Series TKL case, this Model K Deluxe is not just a showcase of materials and craftsmanship. It is a reflection of decades of disciplined building, a small team working at the highest level, and the uncommon decision to create a 12-string only when it can truly stand apart.
