🎼 Tone & Feel

This guitar blends🐾 the warmth of cedar 🐾 the clarity and grain of solid koa 🐾 the light resonance of Spanish cedar 🐾 the modern projection of an auditorium cutaway – The result is a lively, expressive instrument, highly responsive to touch, with an aesthetic that immediately catches the eye.

💠 Condition

Very good overall condition. Well maintained, properly humidified. Just one small lacquer dent on the upper part of the top (see photo), easily repairable by a luthier for under 100€.

💰 Why This Price

Solid Koa acoustics (Taylor, Martin, etc.) now range between 3,500 and 5,000€. This Weller offers premium woods, boutique aesthetics, and a unique hybrid construction for a fraction of that price. Note that a solid Koa guitar (moreover from Hawaï) has became almost impossible to find these days on the market. Consequently, the price of this guitar will continue to increase in the future.
