Great sound, low action, very easy to play! This model also has a 12 hole bridge design which improves the 'string fall' over the bridge saddle.
-Hauser shape and size
-The modern design of lining the sides to stiffen them to allow the top to vibrate without torsion effects on the sides.
-Robert Bouchet's soundboard bracing pattern to improve sustain and sound production.
This guitar is, loud, clear and resonant and fun to play. For the concert stage, the Luthien is responsive with a wide dynamic range yet easy to control.
