Description

This guitar is a welved/vaulted model, meaning that the bracing of the top is carved out of the spruce top, without adding any external wood for the bracing. According to Bert Kwakkel himself he only made a few due to the time consuming work.

The sound of this guitar is warm and full, with a good sustain and overal balance. Strong and full basses that makes it a power guitar worthy for a concerthall.

The guitar comes with its original case, made by Bert Kwakkel in the 80’s

Also Bert installed a modest piëzo pick-up for the first owner, that we can remove and fix upon request.
