The top on each MasterDesign guitar is made from the highest grade Tibetan Sitka spruce, tight grained, rigid along the length, yet flexible across the grain and when this is married to the unique Sanden bracing pattern, we have the heart of the MasterDesign sound, a sound that matures beautifully over time.

The back and sides, whether you choose the Mahogany or the Indian Kerala Rosewood model, are both traditionally quartersawn. The back itself is graduated by highly skilled craftsmen until it resonates with the top which has an incredible impact on the overall sound.

The neck is made from two pieces of individually selected top grade mahogany, which is then laminated together to make an incredibly strong neck. The headstock is also designed for strength with a thick Rosewood veneer on top and in typical Sanden detail, one on the back as well!

The binding on these MasterDesign guitars is of course all natural wood, which gives these instruments a rural elegance. The finish is gossamer thin but durable, enhancing the sound characteristic of the instruments and allowing the wood to breathe to generate superb physical resonance.
