Luxurado

Luxurado is a fully acoustic archtop developed in reference to the pre-war studio guitars that replaced the tenor banjo in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Designed for microphone capture rather than stage amplification, it prioritizes projection, balance, and tonal separation in a controlled recording environment. Construction follows the lineage of early carved archtops associated with Lloyd Loar, with materials and geometry chosen to deliver immediacy, clarity, and a strong fundamental without reliance on electronics or reinforcement.

The response is direct and uncompressed, with crisp, articulate trebles and a woody, tightly defined bass. Playability is modern and stable, but the intent remains resolutely acoustic. Luxurado is offered as a fixed specification studio instrument, built without pickup or optional configurations.
