Genesi Classical

GENESI Cornered Classical

Fifty four years old, this was for me build No. 1, my first acoustic instrument, made in 1970. Hence the name Genesi. The shape came from a dream, but the guitar was only built after on a fluke I met a luthier–Jim (Doc) Pitman. He sold me an incredible German spruce soundboard (50 grains per inch) for $20, and then, well, the rest of my life followed.

GENESI Classical Back

The first back on this guitar warped and detatched around 35 years ago. In 2020, I decided to restore it. So I cut the neck off, put together another set of rosewood and rebuilt it. This is the new embodiment of Genesi No. 1.

GRAND Classical

I had built several Corenered models of all types, so this one was an effort to emulate the classic shape.

There is a distinct difference in tone derived from the shape of a guitar, as exemplied by this model compared to the Cornered guitar. They all sound different, but if they're built right, they all sound good.
