[ q series ]

It is the Holy Grail of guitar making to marry the explosive sound of modern guitars with the delicacy of tone of the best old Spanish instruments. I spent years looking for the Grail. I looked under rose bushes and in broom cupboards. Not a thing to be found.

Eventually, I consoled myself by going back to the workshop and building some new experiments. The soundboards were scarily thin. After a few days, they fell apart. Then I started to refine. The soundboards were just as thin, but gradually they stopped falling apart. Finally, they became bold and strong.

So, here it is, the Q Series - some of the most sophisticated engineering ever put into an acoustic guitar. It is a unique blend of traditional principles with lightweight materials and modern construction. My little piece of guitar heaven.
