"This is the moment you've all been waiting for (I assume). Time to unleash the new model into the wild, for the world to drool over (I assume once more)

I'm incredibly happy with the final result and the sound. The feeling of making the thing that has been in my head, on paper and finally in the real world where I can experience it.

In these three pictures you can see my aesthetic main points.

1 - The body optically slimmed by bevels
2 - Crescent moon rosette pointing to the square cutaway
3 - waterfall beveled upper bout"

Another completed guitar!
This is a commissioned student classical guitar with a sinker cedar top and Eucalyptus back and sides.
This is my second build using eucalyptus and I have to say it produces very nice sounding instruments.
Also the customer required his usual nylon strings brand and model to be installed on the guitar.
I have to say that I was a little sceptical about those strings because I'm used to carbon strings but I have to say I'm really pleased with the result, nice volume and trebbles already.
Now I need to introduce her to her owner and see what he has to say 🤞

❤️‍🔥 SSS-VC will be held at the end of the year. #21
New rosette design!
This time, I use small pieces laminated with different woods and colors, re-arranged them and made a new geometric pattern!

This time we tried geometric arrangement images, stacking pieces of wood glued to different colors, then cropping and rearranging the combination at a specific angle to show special color changes and geometry fun!

18/03/2024



When you combine a deep / cello like bass with bell like trebles, than we got those perfect combination on this amazing double top guitar by Rafal Turkowiak ().

Few months ago, one of my regular customer in Indonesia ask me if i can organize to order a Turkowiak guitar. A double top model with the highest specs and details.
As a traditional guitar lover, i must admit that at first i wasn't excited at all. But when i receive this guitar, i must say honestly that it is one of the best guitar i have ever played so far.

- amazing power, dynamic range, and responsiveness (my customer said it sounds insanely powerful, almost like using an amp)

- 100% perfect balance. No wolf notes / weak notes at all. Dead even balance across all strings and every frets (which is really hard to achieve in such powerful / responsive guitar)

- very precise set up with relatively low action without any fret buzz

- very precise pitch intonation

- comfortable playability with his unique asymestrical neck shape.

- rare & exotic materials. From old growth flamed redwood top, my native Indonesian wood Amboyna Burl, thousands years old fossil Mammoth ivory, millions years old baltic amber etc etc.

Ivan Guitar Studio is now proud to be Turkowiak Guitar official distributor and -as usual- we only choose / accept the very best guitar.

This is #31, a Empire 485 with a lot of custom features. With all of the woods carefully chosen by the customer from our stocks, this guitar is a true one of a kind featuring bear paw inlays on the end grafts, bear paw engraving on the heel cap and a strawberry bat on the back of the headstock (almost like a logo for the customer!)

This guitar has a fantastic voice, with loads of overtones and sustain coming from the selection of Moon Spruce for the top, Macacauba for the back and sides, and Indian rosewood for the neck.

There are now a handful of demos of this guitar on my youtube channel, so take a look to hear this beautiful guitar for yourself! (link in bio)

For more details just drop me a message.
