Off center top opening
We choose to place an off centered
opening on the top of our acoustics and archtops models.
On the archtops, it allows to obtain a
bigger and optimal surface of vibration. Standards “F” holes tend
to cut the surface of vibration and create two “dead zone” on the
extremities. Our concept homogenize the frequency range and add some
bass and trebble, therefore the sound will be fuller and soften the
“snuffly” medium caracter of that type of instruments.
Archtop Shaping
We
sculpt the shape of the archtops like the traditional string
instruments found in classical music. Within our acoustic concept, it
allows to spread the top's string pressure on a greater surface and
provides a better stability.
The shape of the arching on all of our guitars
is handmade
Neck
All our necks are made with double
action truss rod and two reinforcement carbon bars. The benefit is a
better stability due to the nearly perfect homogeneity of carbon
unlike wood, it is also a guide to the truss rod action and allows a
more precise set up.
Arch Bracing
This system combined to
the top's building technique results in a powerful instrument and
rich sounding which will surprise you.
Like the arching on our
jazz guitars, Arch Bracing is the back wood shaping which allows to
hold a bigger pressure for a thinner thickness of the bracing and
back compared to most of acoustic instruments. With this technique we
can obtain a wider frequency range and a bigger sound, while keeping
a reliable built quality.
