The Guitar Sherpa

John How guitars come in three different models: The ladder braced guitars, the traditional x braced guitars and the modern x braced guitars. The ladder braced guitars are the guitars of old “78” and are built very closely to the vintage designs with a few modern features. The traditional x braced guitars are the same shape and size of the ladder braces but with a very light weight x configuration. The modern x braced guitars are the best finger-style guitars. They are rich in sustain and light in touch.

Fabrizio Alberico identifies with the Arts & Crafts architectural and design movement of the early 1900'. The design of the steel-string headstock evolved from a concern for proper orientation of the posts to allow the strings to remain as parallel as possible from end to end. The veneer on the back of the headstock is aesthetic and provides additional strength to this normally weak area. The double veneer also reduces the possibility of the headstock breaking off at the nut as a result of an impact. For more information inclucding pricing please click on the link .
