R&R (Roman & Rudi) R&R 00-12HM Honduras Mahogany

R&R 00-12HM Honduras Mahogany

This guitar was born out of an intense collaboration between Roman Zajicek and Rudi Bults, old guitar-friends, Roman the accomplished Luthier, and Rudi the connoisseur (and owner of the Fellowship of Acoustics BV) you are all familiar with. The basis for this project was a deep desire to build a guitar on a very high level, a guitar that should be able - at any level, cosmetics, tone and finish- to compete with the major high-end guitars such as made by Collings & Santa Cruz- but also able to compete with famous luthiers such as Wayne Henderson and Blazer & Henkes. This being an European Project, the man to ask Roman Zajicek.

His enthusiasm was inspiring, and together we've we collected our mutual knowledge of vintage and new guitars and explored new techniques and inventions. Meaning this guitar is built with the best of old and new, with the single purpose to make the best sounding guitar on the planet. It all starts where it all started; the unbeatable pre-war Martin 00-17SM, and we mixed it with nowadays improvements and believe me we have gone all the way.

This guitar is based on cosmetic modesty, but the tone is amazing! The guitar is obviously full hide Glue construction, and we used a unique neck reinforcement-concept that is based on the T-bar found in old guitars, but improved- with two standing Carbon Bars in the neck to optimize the stiffness like the T-bar did, however we combined it with a trussrod to be able to adjust the neck- and yes we kept the dove tail neck construction!

But the most ingenious thing on this guitar is based a reduced inner lining to optimise the tone. To be able to minimalize the lining and still be safe with the strength and stiffness of the construction, Roman made the lining solid, and not kerfed, and included four heavier cross sides reinforcements, which are connected with the edges of main X - brace cross on the top and back braces in the lining.  The result is very stiff and light internal skelet, which helds the cover - top, sides and back.. most important, resulting in optimized tone.

Another thing we did is investigate what are the best frets on the planet and we came up with 'Jescar gold' frets. They are possibly the most durable, and have more mass, and therefore more tone compared to nickel frets. Of course the nice gold looks are a cosmetic extra that underlines the quality of the guitar. Other features include X- bracing, forward shifted, scalloped & wide to provide optimum vibration on the surface and increase tone, AAAAA grade genuine old stock Honduras mahogany top back/sides and neck with maximum tap-tone, Waverly tuners, Bone Nut and Saddle,

The signature looks are the beautiful non-slotted Headstock with R&R minimelized Torch inlay. Other features include a beautiful old style 12th fret banjo inlay. Condition is excellent with some light playwear on the top and one minor ding in the back finish. Includes hardshell Case
