Its compact and slim body is ideal for camping trips, impromptu gigs whilst on the road, as well as beach days and gap years.

Sculpted for perfection

This model features a solid sitka spruce top, which produces an incredibly versatile sonic-character, alongside a broad dynamic range, crisp articulation, and a clear, powerful projection. In addition, its solid top also delivers a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm mid-range, and bright singing highs. Sitka's versatile nature enables it to accommodate many different genres and playing styles, as well as accommodating a player's individual style with ease.

Complementing the solid sitka spruce top is a sapele back and sides, which is both consistent and exceptionally balanced across the tonal spectrum with a little extra zing within the treble tones. Although the tone of sapele is similar to that of mahogany, the wood itself is slightly denser, which produces a slightly brighter tone with more top-end sparkle.

Effortless playability

Constructed from nato, the Viator's neck offers similar tonal properties to mahogany, providing a quick response with great dynamics and tonal output. In addition to that, it also offers an authentic yet smooth, comfortable feel thanks to its customised V-shaped profile. This profile can also be found on pre-war era guitars, offering a vintage feel, whilst being perfect for the player that likes to hang their thumb over the edge of the fingerboard. The neck has been topped with a lignum rosa fingerboard that provides an added warmth and clarity to the guitar's overall sound, as well as a smooth, energetic playing experience. For added aesthetic appeal the fingerboard is graced with stunning pearloid dot inlays.

Iconic design

Paul Brett is an English classic rock guitarist that has performed alongside many different artists including The Strawbs, the Overlanders, Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera, Fire, The Who and Lonnie Donegan to name a few.
