Design Elegance
Elegance is recognizable by its graceful and harmonious form. It is characterized by the flowing lines and complementary colors and proportions. A sense of completeness and balance is felt when no addition or subtraction is needed. Elegance is achieved when form and function harmonize and become inseparable.

Hand Crafted
Handcrafting the guitar with traditional tools guarantees that each component is precisely fitted, and every detail is meticulously finished to produce the best sounding guitar.

When building a highly responsive guitar, two dominant factors must be considered: the weight and stiffness of the soundboard. These factors play a crucial role in determining the volume and tonal properties of the instrument.
