Maya
A brand new archtop guitar. The design brief was to build a guitar with contemporary styling and playability, plus uncompromising sound and build quality.
The body size, 420mm (16.5″) lower bout x 534mm (21″) long x 86mm (3.4″) deep overall, were important considerations in achieving the desired sound and sleek looks. Scale length is 644mm (25.35″) and nut width is 44mm (1.73″).
Acoustically the response is very open and airy, beautifully defined, with a unique voice.
