Overview: These exceptional concert instruments are a magnificent example of refined musicality, materials, and craft - simply put, musical and physical masterpieces. The concert guitars of master guitar maker Joshia de Jonge combine northern European traditional tonal beauty with the quick response and laser-like projection of the most successful, innovative contemporary guitars.

Capable of great flexibility,
subtlety, and power of expression, this player friendly concert guitar possesses a warm, deep, clear, creamy sound, and a wide palette of color and attack. Each note is like a polished jewel. Balance is excellent; playability is also excellent, offering one of the easiest actions and neck contours around.

Guitar number 102 includes a small discrete sound port with a magnetized adjustable port cover which allows the player to temper this instrument's tonal response to personal preference and individual room acoustics. Also featured here are Joshia de Jonge's unique vine pattern mosaic rosette and soundboard periphery marquetry which she designed to mark the occasion of her 100th guitar.
