Archtop

Heeres Montreux Model Archtop for Nir Felder

On avarage, 200 hours go into creating these instruments. From sculpting the top and back to the perfect arch for the carefully selected woods, through bending the sides to their elegant shape, to making the bindings and fitting the bridge. Getting all the details right takes time, but is worth every minute.

 

All Heeres archtops are made with Master grade European Spruce or Sitka Spruce tops and European Tigerstripe Maple or Quilted Maple.

 

They are fitted with deluxe Gotoh 510-series tuners and our own hand-wound pickups or one made by Kent Armstrong. Hiscox case included.

 

Our archtop models are available in the following sizes: 

 

Newport: 15", thinline

Montreux: 16", thinline

Berlin: 16", full depth

Montreal: 17" full depth

Nylon Jazz

Heeres Geneva Nylon Jazz for Lionel Loueke

Our Geneva cross-over nylon string models were designed with the fingerstyle jazz guitarist in mind. They blend the smooth and warm tone that only the best nylon string guitars provide with excellent playability.

Wether you're an archtop or nylon player, you're guaranteed effortless expression on these instruments.

 

Geneva models feature a 48 mm nut width and a slightly radiused fretboard. Individually crafted to combine volume and projection with optimum action.

 

They are fitted with a piëzo pickup (and optional mic), and have m.o.p. position markers for trouble-free use on stage

 

Geneva models are available with a Western Red Cedar or European Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany or East Indian Rosewood sides.

 

Fitted with deluxe Gotoh-510 series tuners. Hiscox case included.

 

Price: from € 6.200,00 (ex. VAT)
