The Red Sky Deluxe

Red Sky Deluxe

The Red Sky Deluxe is a 16″ hand-built archtop designed around balance, immediacy, and long-term stability.
Built with carved European cello-grade tonewoods and a slim, fast neck geometry, it favors a quick response under the hands and a strong, centered fundamental that stays articulate across the fingerboard. The instrument is voiced to speak easily at low volume, with enough headroom and authority to remain clear when pushed.

Each Red Sky Deluxe is built as a complete system—arched plates, rim set, neck angle, and setup developed together rather than independently. Attention is paid to stiffness, mass, and geometry so the guitar responds naturally without requiring the player to compensate. The result is an instrument that feels settled and immediate, with a clear sense of pitch, even response, and musical focus.
