World’s First Double-Top Design with WAVE Resonator Technology
Our WAVE Type Resonator series represents a groundbreaking advancement in guitar soundboard construction, setting a new standard for resilience and acoustic quality. Unlike traditional solid wood guitars, which can be sensitive to humidity changes, our WAVE Resonator models are engineered to maintain stability in fluctuating environments, ensuring consistency in sound and longevity. At the core of this technology is a unique double-top design, featuring two solid resonant plates surrounding an ultra-lightweight, high-anisotropy organic core. This structure delivers a rich, natural tone, distinct from the sterile sound often associated with synthetic Nomex cores.
Innovations in Resonance and Structure
Enlarged resonant area
Enhanced Tension Counteraction
Our WAVE technology incorporates a specialized internal structure that effectively absorbs string tension within the soundboard. This innovation allows for enhanced vibration frequencies and a more expressive, dynamic response to the player’s touch.
High-Quality Resonant Wood
Crafted from Master Grade tonewoods, the WAVE resonator provides a warm sound with natural resonance, enriching each note with character and depth.
Reduced Bridge Design
A reduced bridge size minimizes mass, allowing the resonant top to vibrate freely. This adjustment enhances projection and tonal richness, ensuring that every note sings with clarity and power.
Introducing the WAVE Resonator Series
WAVE
The WAVE is the foundational model, offering reliable performance and tonal quality. This design is perfect for players seeking a robust and stable instrument that captures the essence of our resonator technology.
S-WAVE
The S-WAVE takes the WAVE’s innovation further with a more refined structure. Slightly thinner and with a complex design, the S-WAVE offers a seamless, clean look, concealing the unique double-top “pattern” on the soundboard. This model combines aesthetic elegance with superior sound quality, making it ideal for musicians who appreciate subtlety in design without compromising on performance.
X-WAVE
For players demanding the highest level of durability and tonal refinement, the X-WAVE represents the pinnacle of our resonator technology. This model undergoes chemical modification, reducing its water content to just 2-3% compared to the usual 8% in untreated wood. This adjustment enhances stability, making the X-WAVE exceptionally resilient to changes in humidity and temperature. The low moisture content also enriches the sound, providing a uniquely refined tonal character that stands out in any environment.
Key Benefits of WAVE Resonator Technology
✦ Consistency: Optimized for stability in changing humidity, maintaining consistent sound quality across environments.
✦ Enhanced Projection: Expanded resonant area and reduced bridge design boost projection and tonal depth.
✦ Dynamic Response: Specialized structure for improved vibration and tension absorption, allowing expressive playability.
✦ Durability: Chemically modified X-WAVE wood offers a long-lasting, resilient structure ideal for demanding conditions.
