Concert (all wood lattice bracing), elevated fingerboard

African blackwood/spr.
New: 2012

This is an exceptional concert instrument.

It combines northern European traditional tonal beauty with the quick response and laser-like projection of the most successful, innovative contemporary guitars.

Moreover, Joshia de Jonge’s new back bracing system and the rich tonal characteristics of African blackwood lend this instrument yet even greater projection and tonal response than the many elegant instruments we have received from her in the past.

This guitar’s powerful first string is round and clear, firm, even, and very quick and alive - as are all its strings. Its deep resonant basses are rich and solid, perfectly in balance with their treble counterparts. Both very musical and very powerful, this player friendly, world class, concert instrument has a highly appealing warm, creamy, very smooth signature sound and a wide palette of color and attack. Each note is like a polished jewel. Playability is excellent offering one of the easiest actions and neck contours around. The exquisite visual beauty of this instrument, of course, speaks for itself.


Joshia de Jonge is a wonderful, unique talent. Suffice it to say, we consider it an immense honor and privilege to represent her and her exceptional concert instruments. (Learn more).
