Built in Valencia, Spain, this guitar reflects Saeid’s steady refinement of his design, improving on the smallest details with each instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"454\" data-end=\"797\"\u003eWhile many balsa double tops tend toward a brighter, more immediate character, Saeid’s guitars stand apart with a deeper, richer tonal profile that still retains the explosive responsiveness players expect from a double top. The result is an instrument that feels incredibly powerful and reactive, yet still carries a distinctly Spanish voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"799\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003eOne of the most striking characteristics of this guitar is how hard it can be driven. It belongs to that rare class of double tops that invites the player to really push the instrument. The harder you play, the more the guitar seems to come alive, yet it never loses its core tonal identity or begins to feel strained. At the same time, it is equally capable of delicate pianissimo playing, producing a beautiful range of colors and nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1475\"\u003eWith only 67 instruments completed to date, it is remarkable how refined Saeid’s work has already become. The growing international demand and long wait list for his guitars make instruments like this increasingly difficult to obtain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1477\" data-end=\"1480\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1ma7m6t\" data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1497\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"2138\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"1507\"\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cedar \/ balsa double top\u003cbr data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1535\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1535\" data-end=\"1552\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian rosewood\u003cbr data-start=\"1568\" data-end=\"1571\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1588\"\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 650 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1598\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1621\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1637\"\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elevated with 20th fret access\u003cbr data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1671\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1671\" data-end=\"1694\"\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slight radius for improved barre comfort\u003cbr data-start=\"1735\" data-end=\"1738\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1738\" data-end=\"1755\"\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slim C-shape, comfortable and fast\u003cbr data-start=\"1790\" data-end=\"1793\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"1803\"\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tall, wide frets for effortless playability\u003cbr data-start=\"1847\" data-end=\"1850\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1861\"\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian rosewood with elegant tie block design and excellent break angle\u003cbr data-start=\"1933\" data-end=\"1936\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1936\" data-end=\"1948\"\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e D’Addario XT C45 FF with normal tension nylon first string 🔗 Strings used: \u003ca data-start=\"2025\" data-end=\"2058\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/ddar.io\/guitar-collection\"\u003ehttps:\/\/ddar.io\/guitar-collection\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ms-0.5 inline-block align-middle leading-none\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-rtl-flip=\"\" class=\"block h-[0.75em] w-[0.75em] stroke-current stroke-[0.75]\"\u003e\u003cuse fill=\"currentColor\" href=\"\/cdn\/assets\/sprites-core-df3050c8.svg#304883\"\u003e\u003c\/use\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2058\" data-end=\"2061\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2061\" data-end=\"2075\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brand new (2026)\u003cbr data-start=\"2092\" data-end=\"2095\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2095\" data-end=\"2105\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed and dated 2026 – No. 67\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2140\" data-end=\"2143\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"xnijqe\" data-start=\"2145\" data-end=\"2153\"\u003eSound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2155\" data-end=\"2387\"\u003eThis guitar produces a deep, rich voice that feels slightly darker and more grounded than many balsa double tops. The main air resonance sits around the F♯ range, contributing to the guitar’s strong low end and full-bodied response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2615\"\u003eAcross the spectrum, the sound sits beautifully between clarity and overtone richness.

Notes jump off the guitar with a sense of immediacy and energy that makes the instrument feel almost like a sports car with a very sensitive accelerator.
