Handcrafted classical guitars for concert performers and collectors

Concert Guitars by
Sergei Rusakov

At the moment, I offer two base models: Traditional and Modern.
The Traditional model is my own interpretation of the famous Manuel Ramirez design (also sometimes attributed to Santos Hernández). Its main resonance lies between F and F♯. It features a solid cedar or spruce soundboard and a rosewood or maple body. The bracing system is fan-shaped.

The Modern model is a cedar double top with a balsa core, equipped with a light carbon parabolic tornavoz and a slim neck reinforced with carbon fiber. Back and sides are made of Madagascar or Indian Rosewood. The main resonance of this guitar is between D and D♯, which results in the absence of pronounced wolf tones in the bass register and a generally deep sound. The slim neck and low string action provide ease of playing for the left hand, while the use of a balsa-core double top ensures high responsiveness and ease of playing for the right hand.

Both base models have a 650 mm scale length.
Other scale lengths are also available upon request.
Tuning machines are Schaller Grand Tune (with bearings) or Gotoh (with bearings).
Decorative options, alternative woods and tuning machines can be customized as desired.
