A
Challenge
The second guitar from the Lucerne startup Relish Guitars – with its own sound and more sustainable materials.
B
Solution
A “floating sandwich” construction in which the middle layer resonates as freely as possible, and a fretboard made of extruded bamboo instead of CITES-regulated tropical wood.
C
Result
Very long sustain and a clear, distinctive sound.
Bamboo instead of tropical wood
Bamboo is dense and hard – a sustainable alternative to ebony that feels good and sounds clear.
