This is German's most recent concert model to be developed. Called the "Solista", it features his newest bracing system (which has previously only been used in his top, elite models). This bracing system fattens out the tone particularly in the trebles, giving the guitar an overall warmer sound. This system has been so well received in his elite models that he decided to introduce it in an instrument at a more modest price point while retaining the same high standard of sound.
Materials selected for this guitar are incredibly beautiful, starting with a well-selected Western red-cedar top, exotic Brazilian lacewood for the back and sides (and also for the layers in the the meticulously constructed headstock which "open" elegantly into the flamed maple neck when viewed from behind). African blackwood is used in the binding, framing the guitar beautifully with its contrasting lighter colored materials for the back and sides. Tuners are by Irving Sloane. The entire guitar is French polished. In addition to being beautiful to look at, the Brazilian lacewood for the back and sides is also a very lightweight material which helps in the production of an easy, and immediate attack, much like the responsiveness of a flamenco guitar. However the sound is very rich and warm with lyrical trebles and creamy basses - very elegant sound with ample volume for any concert setting. Playability is a breeze with a very smooth and comfortable neck. All in, this is a very versatile and strong instrument by any standard.
