The Steel String Model
A refined interpretation of the steel-string tradition
The Model S draws its inspiration from the great North American steel-string tradition and stands as the most powerful voice in the collection.
While it echoes the familiar presence of the dreadnought form, its outline has been carefully refined, giving the instrument a more balanced and elegant proportion — both visually and ergonomically.
Designed to offer comfort to the player as much as presence to the listener, the Model S combines strength and projection with a remarkable sensitivity to touch. Its voice is full and commanding, yet capable of great nuance and restraint.
Rather than exaggerating power, the instrument seeks equilibrium — allowing projection, clarity, and responsiveness to exist in quiet harmony.
Materials & Construction
The soundboard is crafted from German spruce, selected for its strength, projection, and dynamic headroom.
The back, sides, bridge, and fingerboard are made from wenge, whose density and stability contribute to clarity, sustain, and tonal focus.
A mahogany neck, reinforced internally with carbon fibre, ensures long-term structural stability and consistent playability across changing environments.
The instrument is finished using traditional French polish, preserving the natural resonance of the wood while revealing its depth and colour. The neck and fingerboard are oil-finished to provide a smooth, responsive feel under the player’s hand.

Torsten Goods
I’ve played this guitar for about a year. It has been used it in a lot of Sarah Connor shows and I’ve played it on some of my own recordings – I’m really in love with it. It’s an amazing instrument!
