Description

Nadine is an OM shaped guitar. Her bracing is based on pre-war “Xbrace pattern”. Regarding the braces scalloping, I’ve put my personnal point of view, thus, achieving a richer low register and ballanced tones on all frequencies. The back & sides Walnut was cut in 1874 at Tzoumerka mountains for a church temple construction. Two pieces were kept in a barn. 20 years ago, my friend Dimitris gave me these precious pieces as a gift. Despite its age, the wood is very alive and combining it with a special 35 year old German Spruce, a perfect match has been created.
