Régis Sala Australe 2023 – France

A model inspired by Greg Smallman’s guitars but with a French touch made by Régis Sala. Régis has implemented some new features in a view to gain some warmness and sound thickness. This No 111 is loud and offers a warm tone. The top is in cedar and has a wooden frame beneath. The sides are laminated and the back is braced as well. The playability is amazing with a very thin neck. Amazing and a lot of pleasure for the player.

This is a lattice classical guitar made by a French guitar maker. Régis Sala is a French guitar maker who is building classical guitars with the pure French traditional classical guitar methods. However, Régis has decided to build for us his own vision of a lattice classical guitar which combines the best of both worlds of lattice and traditional guitars. The result is amazing: long sustain and beautiful tone.

A lutherie ‘à la Française’

Régis is an experienced guitar maker who mostly makes traditional guitars inspired by big French Masters such as Daniel Friederich and Dominique Field. For many years Regis has been the one who is adjusting and repairing our lattice and double-top guitars. He had the opportunity to carefully study our guitars and to assess the benefit of ‘modern guitar making. His own lattice guitar has the positive points of the lattice concept and keeps the sound quality of the traditional guitars.

Loud sounding luthier classical guitar with a great string separation

The lattice brings additional resources to guitar players. The sound color is rather clear with excellent string separation. The carbon adds more color possibilities. The bass/ treble balance is perfect. The neck is thin and very easy to play.
