The weissenborn models that I built are based on an original model made in 1927. In order to come closer of the sound and spirit of the original Weissenborn, I select and use the best woods and materials possible: Koa selected based on several criteria such as drying wood, quartersawn cut, resonance, aesthetics; using of hide glue like the old models. Same thing for the finish: a light shellac-based stain is applied to recover the appearance of old weissenborn, followed by very thin layers of varnish to protect and allows the guitar vibrate at its best.
