Intune presents its custom all-solid-wood guitars that are built with the very best materials and using a combination of hand tools and some production technologies for accurate inlay work. Moreover, this guitar is an actual functional artistic work constructed with a high degree of craftsmanship and attention to detail. At this price point, its extremely hard to beat providing great value.
This particular model has the Grand Auditorium body shape with a Florentine cutaway, and it is made from high quality tonewoods – the soundboard features solid European Spruce, and the back and sides are made from solid Cocobolo with a nice sapwood. Cocobolo is a tropical wood, very dense and hard, which adds a brilliant tone and response to the instrument. This wood has a higher resonance in low or bass frequencies, and a quick and dynamic answer with a clear tone.
The high quality of the woods are combined with a host of appointments such as flamed Maple with Abalone wrapped around in concentric circles for the rosette. On the fretboard you have an artistic design of horses inlayed with Mother of Pearl and Abalone. The headstock design consist of Intune’s Dove logo inlayed in Mother of Pearl bound with tanned Maple and Abalone. The body bindings has tanned Maple combined with Abalone that seamlessly blends in with an inbuilt armrest.
The neck is a 5 piece neck with no scarf and heel joint; this provides better strength that will handle and withstand fluctuations in humidity and temperature much better than a guitar neck with one wood only. With no scarf and heel joint would mean better transfer of vibrations.
In addition to the guitar’s attractive looks you have superb acoustic qualities. It produces clear, open tones that are finely balanced across the entire tonal spectrum. This guitar is designed to cater to various styles of playing whether it be just flat picking, fingerpicking or just strumming.
Another subtle feature adding to the tone and overtone is the use of unslotted bridge pins, this enable the strings ball ends to rest firmly under the bridge plate providing maximum transfer of vibration that can be lost with slotted bridge pins due to gaps in the contact point.
As with most top-quality instruments the guitar doesn’t come with preinstalled pick-ups. If needed we can install the LR Baggs Anthem TRU-MIC Technology or others pickups with the controls mounted on the inside of the guitar sound hole. There will an additional charge for this installation. The mix control allows blending the sound from the microphone and the pickup. The LR Braggs TRU-Mic tone shaping features include mix controls, phase inversion, volume, battery check, mic level control.
