Vladimir Druzhinin's New Guitar Will Arrive at GSI Very Soon. See the Sneak Peek Photos!

We’ve received some sneak peek photos from Vladimir Druzhinin of a guitar which is going to be shipped to GSI very soon! In this new instrument Vladimir continues the course of his works based on the early Madrid school tradition. With his last few guitars Vladimir’s aim has been to achieve lower general tuning. Vladimir told us that lighter construction, thanks to its flexibility gives him better results in a variable and responsive sound production, with great timbral and dynamics control.

Vladimir has been developing his process of distribution of longitudinal elasticity in the guitar body. He’s been also matching the stiffness of the body and neck. Even minor differences have made a big impact on the overall response and controllability of the sound.

This new guitar also features some structural changes in the design. The solid beech linings are used for both top and back (with 1mm added strip on the top side) and tangential-cut neck. Vladimir has also revised the body form, heel shape, fan and bars position, as well as some other details.
