Wabi Sabi is a Japanese philosophy that embraces imperfection. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, irregularity, simplicity, economy and appreciation of the organic nature of natural objects . Our Wabi-sabi guitars are constructed with B or C grade tops….usually rejected for being aesthetically imperfect but sounding the same as A grade tops. This is a brilliant combination as each guitar is different and we are able to offer a solid top guitar at a laminate guitar price.
