Traditional construction on Palisander -basis

While the body is made of four parts of this precious wood, separated by a maple veneer, the thin fingerboard is glued to the arching of the neck using the " Round Laminated "-method.

Slight modifications for harmonious design and playing comfort

Even complex chords can be played relaxed on this unique guitar.
