The Sanden Guitars VRBc-TT Vintage Round Bell Cutaway. The well balanced, rounded sound and size make this guitar very versatile. Sanden Guitars are all hand-made in Sweden by Master Luthier Michael Sanden. All Sanden Guitars guitars are built with the highest quality wood and materials available. The VRBc-TT features a sitka spruce top with East-Indian rosewood back and sides. The neck is laminated mahogany with an ebony fingerboard and the beautiful rosette is made from herringbone and abalone layered together. All Sanden Guitars feature a zero fret for optimal balance and intonation. The machine heads are Schertler chrome with ebony buttons. The VRB also comes with an on-board B-Band pickup and long-life power supply. Also featured on the VRBc-TT is the True Temperament Fretting System, a patented design unique to Sanden acoustic guitars. It is well known that the traditional fretting method used on stringed instruments is a compromise - a guitar can never be totally in tune. The True Temperament method of fretting solves this problem, reducing inter modulation between notes that ensures accurate intonation across the fretboard. Making chords ring out with a sweetness unachievable on a normal fretted guitar. Sanden Guitars spend a great deal of time and effort in making their instruments well-balanced and keeping the craftsmanship at the highest possible level. The hand-made nature of these guitar mean they are only available in small numbers each year. This, and the impeccable quality, craftsmanship and love that goes into each guitar, makes them a truly exquisite instrument to own
