    The" La Gorda " from Pinol is our aged Canadian Cedar, Tigerwood powerhouse Dreadnought, a true cannon. We upped this with an incredible striking set of dark Tigerwood. Incredibly big and open with great response from the deep bass to crisp mids and highs. Brazilian Koa, which is a Rosewood offers a stunning look. With a dense grain, and a smooth deep color, these premium hardwoods exude quality. Also, considered a great lightweight option to other heavier tone woods. The great debate of best builds and tonewoods are alive and well. Try this one and you will agree either way that this is one amazing guitar.

    Let's start by talking about extras this lovely guitar has. If you look towards the upper-bout, you will feel that both the left and right side are denser than the rest of the body because we added an additional rosewood veneer along the interior about 7 inches long, this allows for a firm connection between the arm and the body and thus allowing the instrument to ring louder. We can also notice a one piece arm from the joint all the way up to the headstock. Sandwiched between Cocobolo Rosewood, gives this arm a solid structure that will allow the string vibrations to flow uninterrupted down to the body. Our acoustic guitars are joined with a dovetail, and this one is not an exception. We finished our joint block with dimensions that will allow the arm a little more structural strength for a longer life. Looking at the joint block, you will notice a small piece of African Ebony with white and black purfling, giving this joint a classy tuxedo look.

    As we look at the book matched two-piece back, we can see the beautiful dark and brown sapwood mixed with an orange background similar to a Tiger in color pattern, this is a one -of-a-kind look. Our sides and back pieces are from the same log, allowing an equal distribution of body strength and color distribution. Our Herringbone is striking, and many small shops opt out of this complex job. As you can observe, it has herringbone all over the instrument, sandwiched between rare African Ebony binding. This job usually takes about 35 hours to complete.

    Our tailpiece, fretboard, bridge and head plate all come from the same tree as well. African Ebony has become a rare find nowadays, and finishing our instruments with the most sought after tone wood is a treat for our customers. We finished the inside with a regular x-bracing pattern with a non-scalloped finish, and also made the back bracing dimensions similar to a pre-war Martin ( 9.5 mm and 15 mm in height ), to allow a lighter bracing system and to open up the back, but making sure the strength was not compromised. We hand-voiced and tap-toned each instrument and carved accordingly, this process takes our well-trained luthiers an additional 30 hours to complete. You will notice that the fretboard is tapered with Melina wood, giving this fretboard a nice classy look. The body is also tapered and extremely comfortable. This guitar is perfect for a studio or the everyday hustle. Being a one-off, this guitar will turn heads !

    One of the most important parts for a sweet playing instrument in our opinion here at Pinol is the choice of a well playing top and the finishing touches of a professional set-up. Our Tops come from a small town in Canada, where the owner cherry-picks and quarter saws each individual log. He assures me that every top he sends to our shop is at least 500 years old, but some might be even older than 1000 years. Our Cedar and Spruce is among the best in the tone wood market, and putting these tops on our instruments allows our customers to hear the true sweetness of our finished products.

    A professional set-up is as important as a well-built instrument, and here at our shop we dedicate an additional 25 hours to this complex science. Adjusting the two-way truss rod , choosing the correct size of frets, dressing the frets and adjusting for a low profile string positioning can be a true test of knowledge left only to an experienced luthier. Before our instruments are shipped, we communicate with the owners on their personalized set-up position, allowing a personalized professional set-up at the time of arrival. Remember, our instruments take around 200 hours from inception to the final product.
