About the guitar
This lattice-braced guitar by Thomas Eichert exemplifies his mastery of combining traditional techniques with modern innovations. Designed to deliver exceptional warmth and an incredibly responsive touch, it is a perfect choice for discerning guitarists. The back and sides are doubled, a construction technique that enhances projection and volume. The lattice-bracing system in the top construction ensures dynamic range, tonal clarity, and balance, making it an ideal instrument for both solo performances and ensemble settings.
The finishes are carefully selected to optimize the guitar’s aesthetic and acoustic properties. The back and sides are coated with a durable PUR varnish, providing long-lasting protection and a sleek appearance. The top is treated with a hand-polished shellac finish, adding warmth and resonance to the instrument’s sound. The neck is finished with hard wax oil, offering a smooth, comfortable feel and excellent playability. These thoughtful choices in materials and finishes result in a guitar that not only sounds incredible but also looks stunning and feels effortless to play.
