The Julia is Audens take on the 00 model, small in size with a 14th fret neck join. This guitar sings and reverberates with a sound that’s much larger than its small body, a great songwriter’s guitar.  A core attribute of the wonderful Julia model is the 632mm scale length AKA "Shortscale".

The Julia and Emily Rose models are both short scale but the larger body of the Julia give you such a wonderful sweetness and depth of tone that has to be heard to be believed and fully appreciated.

I cannot express how much I LOVE this guitar - and if you are in any way unsure of the many benefits of short scale, which are often overlooked by most - I have detailed the ones I feel relevant below...

Playability & Comfort

• Easier fretting: Reduced string tension makes it easier to press down notes and bend strings.
• More compact feel: Shorter neck and closer frets improve reach and comfort, especially for smaller hands.
• Reduced fatigue: Requires less stretch and strength, ideal for long playing sessions.

Tone & Sound

• Warmer, mellower tone: Shorter scale length produces a slightly rounder, softer sound with less brightness.
• Enhanced midrange: Often gives a fuller, more vocal-like midrange response.
• Smoother feel: Lower tension contributes to a slinkier, more expressive playing experience.

Practical Advantages

• Ideal for fingerstyle: Lower tension and responsiveness suit delicate touch dynamics.
• Perfect for travel or smaller players: Slightly smaller body options often accompany short-scale designs.
• Versatile for alternate tunings: Maintains playability in lower tunings without feeling overly tight or stiff.
