This archtop guitar model represents the way I envision luxury. To most, luxury means gold and diamonds, but to me luxury lies within Mother Nature’s greenery and her precious woods.
Pandora’s secret can be found in the delicate proportion between the precise selection of rare wood and geometry. The unique Olive Ash burl top and the Pear wood body combined with an elegantly improved design provide both comfort and perfect balance to the guitar as well as a fascinating look.
Dynamic archtop is a feature I have come up with for this model particularly. It is not merely a simple rounding of the body, but the careful and smooth shaping of certain sections, which makes the instrument feel like it is part of your body while playing.
