Will Hamm Yamandu Costa model 2023 – Canada

When I met Will Hamm last year and tried his Yamandu Costa model, I had to order one of his Yamandu Costa guitars. The guitar’s craftmanship is awesome and the guitar is offering some nice innovations such as the Pau Ferro Turnavoz. Will as well specially worked on the neck which is made of 5 laminated wood and is bolt-on to the body. The sound is big, thick, and with an amazing definition which explains why the Maestro Yamandu Costa purchased 8 guitars from Will Hamm. We decided to offer the 6 strings version instead of the 7 strings. Apart from that the guitar is identical to the ones that Yamandu played.

Will Hamm is an experienced musician and luthier. His guitars have a traditional bracing but are offering a generous sound and the guitar can compete with numerous double-tops. The basses are surprisingly big and the trebles are right in the middle between clarity and warmness. The playability is as one could guess huge.

The guitar has a wood turnavoz which contribute to produce thicker notes.

Here are some specifications of the guitar:

– Solid Makassar Ebony with “shark fin” back and sides

– Premium master grade western red cedar top traditional bracing

– ‘Kaleidoscope rosette made our  black walnut, Koa, Pernambuco with ‘coral snake’ purfling

– Neck/fretboard bolt-on made of 5 pieces laminated wood : South American rosewood, maple, Bloodwood

– Elevated fingerboard

– Pear Diagonal stripe

– Pau ferro turnavoz

– The tuners are  Schertler tuners
