We are proud to now be the \u003cstrong data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"695\"\u003eexclusive USA dealer\u003c\/strong\u003e for Kitselis guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"719\" data-end=\"1025\"\u003eFrom the first notes, you’re immediately greeted by a \u003cstrong data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"833\"\u003ebeautifully open, natural, and distinctly “wooden” sound\u003c\/strong\u003e that feels incredibly refreshing. This is not a dry or clinical instrument in any sense. Quite the opposite. It is rich in overtones, highly resonant, and deeply musical right out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003eVisually, the guitar is just as compelling. The rosette is dark, refined, and reveals subtle color when viewed up close. The spruce top shows a lovely, mature character, and the Indian rosewood back and sides keep the aesthetic grounded and elegant. Details like the integrated armrest, wheat motif tie block, and ebony accents throughout reflect a builder with a clear and confident artistic voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"bm9yg5\" data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1451\"\u003eSound \u0026amp; Playability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1508\"\u003eThis guitar is, quite simply, a \u003cstrong data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1507\"\u003esustain powerhouse\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1836\"\u003eNotes don’t just decay, they \u003cstrong data-start=\"1539\" data-end=\"1550\"\u003edevelop\u003c\/strong\u003e. You can land on a pitch and hear it expand through sympathetic vibrations and overtones, creating a sense of depth and movement that continues long after the initial attack. It is one of those rare instruments where you find yourself lingering on notes just to hear what happens next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1838\" data-end=\"2115\"\u003eDespite this richness, the guitar never becomes muddy or unfocused. In fact, one of the most surprising aspects is just how \u003cstrong data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"2005\"\u003eclear and controlled everything remains\u003c\/strong\u003e, even in full chords. For an instrument this overtone-rich, that level of separation is genuinely impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2117\" data-end=\"2350\"\u003eThe trebles are singing, colorful, and incredibly sustaining, especially in the upper registers. The basses are deep and resonant without overwhelming the texture. Across the entire fingerboard, every note feels alive and responsive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2652\"\u003eEqually important is how \u003cstrong data-start=\"2377\" data-end=\"2422\"\u003eforgiving and easy this guitar is to play\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is not one of those dry, hyper-demanding instruments that punishes the right hand. Instead, it rewards you immediately. You feel like you’re producing beautiful tone with very little effort, and that encourages exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2654\" data-end=\"3014\"\u003eThe dynamic range is wide, and the ceiling is difficult to reach. You can play aggressively without the sound collapsing, yet at the lightest touch the guitar responds instantly. It gives you exactly what you expect, no matter where you place your right hand. Bright, warm, rich, or focused, it is all readily available without needing to fight the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3016\" data-end=\"3100\"\u003eThere is a real sense here that the guitar is \u003cstrong data-start=\"3062\" data-end=\"3082\"\u003eworking with you\u003c\/strong\u003e, not against you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"n3g6nj\" data-start=\"3102\" data-end=\"3127\"\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3129\" data-end=\"3382\"\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong data-start=\"3139\" data-end=\"3160\"\u003espruce double top\u003c\/strong\u003e with a Nomex core, built using extremely thin layers that are vacuum glued in stages.
