New
:
2007
$22,000.00
Ranking as he does among the handful of very finest luthiers in the world, the prodigiously talented Olivier Fanton d'Andon is this generation's premiere French luthier. Roland Dyens (France), Antigoni Goni (Greece), and Stephen Robinson (U.S.A.) all have purchased and performed on his magnificent concert guitars.
Among the most powerful guitars in the world, these innovative radially braced spruce top instruments are, more importantly, sublimely musical works of art - rivaling the sweetest, purist, richest sounding traditional instruments in range of color, nuance, depth, and separation.
Add to these attributes unsurpassed evenness and sustain, jackrabbit response and unusually easy right and left hand set up, and you have a concert classical guitar suitable for both the largest and most intimate venues. In sum, these extraordinary instruments are a joy and privilege to play and hear. (learn more)
