Steel String

The inspiration behind this steel string guitar was a Martin 000 model. I was really seduced by the balance and richness of the sound as well as the size of the guitar, which I found very comfortable.

I have tried to capture this balance of power and depth of sound with clarity and evenness. I redrew the shape of the guitar to make it more curvy and elegant; a shape closer to a classical guitar. I also slightly increased the depth of the sound box to improve the bass richness, which has an influence on the whole sound spectrum of the guitar. As a result the treble notes are thicker, richer and more powerful.

The guitar shown has a soundboard made of first-grade European spruce, the back and sides are Madagascar rosewood, it has a mahogany neck and the fingerboard is ebony.
