• Euphony - Electric Semi-hollow


    Euphony is the latest addition to our semi-hollow line. It features a smaller, 13.5″, thus lighter body, in single cutaway design and traditional craftsmanship.

    Premium grade tonewoods are used for the construction, offering exceptional constancy in stability and tone. We carefully select and laminate the wood layers one by one, checking, throughout the process, the tone characteristics of each top and back, achieving a balanced tone character.

    It features a center block made from selected American maple and spruce. The shape of the center block is designed in a way to allow the two hollow compartments to communicate, thus extending the “breathing” and harmony of vibrations through the guitar’s body.

    The guitar can be equipped with either a Bigsby tremolo system or a classic stoptail bridge.

    Euphony comes equipped with two hand-wound VF-15 Classic custom humbucker pickups that provide warm, balanced articulated tone with excellent response characteristics, enough to cover any style of music and playing.

  • Handmade Laminated Top and Back Plates

    We carefully select and laminate the wood layers for our tops and backs.

    We form their thickness and hardness accordingly, checking the tone characteristics of each top and back plate throughout the process, until we achieve a balanced tone character.

    Varitone

    The varitone circuit is an RLC notch filter that can be added in the guitars main circuit.

    It utilizes a variety of capacitors to achieve a reduction in frequencies at set points within the overall bandwidth. As the varitone is rotated from (position 1) to (position 6), the center frequency (f0) of the filter shifts from higher to lower frequencies.

    The key point in order to get the most effective results of this RLC circuit is the adjustment of its characteristics according to the guitars main circuit specs (pickups, pots, capacitors, cable types).
