My double top guitars are marked by excepƟonal clarity and a powerful sound with melodic, creamy
trebles and deep bases. The top is made with a nomex core, sandwiched by two layers of cedar. The
sides are laminated so that the energy produced by this extremely flexible top is not transferred to
the sides. The rich, crisp sound of these instruments resembles that of a piano, as much as a guitar,
and their capacity to produce a big sound is unmatched, even with normal tension nylon strings.
Because of the effortless feel of the fretboard, regardless of strings used, and its ability to produce a
rich sound and a big volume with remarkable ease, many professional soloists have chosen the
double top as their main instrument for practice and concert performances.
