A very special lattice guitar

The guitar of the luthier Zibgniew Gnatek are very different from the usual Australian lattice braced guitars : there are much lighter and not as dark. The bass are however very deep and dark whereas the trebles are cristal-clear and bright. As a result the string separation is huge and provide a incredible musicality. This method of building allows performers to be heard when playing with an orchestra and to also achieve the sensitivity of playing solo.The setting of the guitar is perfect. You have to know that Zbigniew before beeing a guitar marker was and still is a great players. The sustain is long and in addition there are huge overtones which ring and enhance the sound duration. The treble although clear are thick and creamy. Difficult to imagine but the result provides to the player a huge pleasure.

In conclusion, maybe the best Lattice Australian guitar.
