Ushant nylon 7 strings

This nylon string version of the Ouessant was born at the request of Richard Bonnet,  who wanted a 7 string (also low B), whose central characteristic is to be fretless! We started on the basis of the L1, linen body, for playing comfort and balance, and the choice of the multi-scale was made naturally, to give all the necessary depth to the bass strings...

Vienna - archtop nylon

This model is the replica version L1, body in Klas,  of the "Gloucester nylon" which itself was born from the request of a customer wanting an archtop with nylon strings, which is always a challenge!

Result, a nylon string jazz guitar, all bass and roundness, with the comfort of the vent on the guitarist's side.

The Sassandra is my most advanced nylon string model. Corollary of the Ouessant, it takes up the main principles, side vent, pre-stressed Kopodirac dam, spruce top (available in cedar version), very dynamic offering beautiful bass.

Olimar

3/4 body version of the Sassandra, with mahogany back and sides, more rigid construction than for a full acoustic, and a more "folk" sized neck, dedicated more to Latin music or guitarists accustomed to  ;the steel string guitar. The dimensions are adaptable to each customer, 43, 44, 46, 48 mm at the nut.

Some Electro nylon strings

Numerous guitars made over the years, to order or directly created, based on Caravan, Malaga, Sassandra, Santobino models, etc.

Gloster Buddha

The Gloucester is my latest acoustic archtop guitar model, designed and produced following my work alongside Ken Parker. Like the latter, I am trying here to bring together the tradition of acoustic jazz guitars with vaulted tops and contemporary design put at the service of ergonomics and sound performance.

This first acoustic version bears the nickname Buddha, a nod to my friend Ken!
