Alexander Pashentsev DT No 202 2021

Alexander Pashentsev makes double tops which are sort of unique. He uses for his tops 2 very thin slices of wood (no balsa, no carbon) which makes the top stiffer and lighter and allows to have a very all wood lattice bracing. As a result: a woody tone is very natural crystal clear with a dynamic very close to traditional guitars but loud enough to fill a big hall. A great opportunity for a very reasonable price.

It is well known that there are in Russia some huge guitar players and incredible luthiers as well. High quality at a great price!
