Michael Cadiz - 2017
Michael Cadiz - 2017
Overview
Overview
Michael Cadiz is native from Seattle, Washington, and recently moved his workshop to Graz, Austria. He is a mostly self-taught luthier, but feels profoundly grateful for Robert Ruck, who invited him to stay for a while in his workshop to share his philosophy and approach to guitar building. He also received a great support from the Seattle builders Rick Davis and Greg Oxrieder.
This guitar is the newest version of Michael’s Concert Model. The plantilla was designed by his own. It is a bit larger, but similar in proportion and curves to the Antonio de Torres SE114. The bracing was inspired by a 1962 Marcelo Barbero (hijo) guitar made in Archangel Fernandez’ workshop, that Michael had the chance to play and inspect extensively. It had a particularly explosive and alert character that truly impressed and inspired him. Every wooden part of the guitar is hand-made and worked by Michael: rosettes, purflings, bidings, etc. The finish is a traditional French polish of shellac and pumice.
This is a subtle and fine guitar with a great delicacy in the craftmanship. Its design reminds the great master-instruments of the nineteenth century, where all the beauty stands in skilful details. The sound of this guitar concord with its appearance. It is a sincere guitar with a defined attack, a great balance and a fine separation between the voices. This instrument has a clear sound projection thanks to the purity of its tone and the immediate sound production of the spruce-top. It is a great instrument for a mindful guitar player seeking for a subtle and truthful guitar. The tuning machines are Rubner superior series with roller bearings and black mother of pearl buttons. A Hiscox Pro II case is included.

Classical Guitars
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
