2015 Zoran Kuvac CD/AR

Luthier Zoran Kuvac is based in Bosnia and Herzegovina (ex Yugoslavia) and has been a full-time luthier for many years, having built over 300 instruments to date. His influences are mainly traditional Spanish makers such as Torres and Romanillos (he has participated twice in the Romanillos masterclasses). This instrument was based more on the contemporary French school, inspired primarily by the work of Daniel Friederich in particular and a look inside at the bracing system indeed confirms this influence. Although inspired structurally by Daniel Friederich, aesthetically this guitar is uniquely of Zoran Kuvac's design. Materials are very elegant - it features a set of beautiful, dark chocolate rosewood for the back and sides with a warm cedar top. Sound is extremely refined - a thick, fat sound yet with brilliant clarity at the same time, even for a cedar top. It is very responsive to both hands, it has great punch and huge volume. Although a used guitar, it has no damage or repairs, only some minor playing wear in the finish. Many well-known guitarists including Zoran Dukić and Edin Karamazov have played Kuvac guitars.
