Febo Waanders / Grand Fingerstyle Madagascar Alpine / Guitar

Febo Waanders Grand Fingerstyle Cutaway model acoustic guitar, brand new, a true sight to behold, and filled to the brim with innovative and tone-improving features. This instrument from our local tonewood-wizard Febo Waanders was built not only to sound good, but also to offer the most comfortable playing experience despite it's almost jumbo or O-sized lower bout. To that end it features a Ziricote soundport armrest bevel, Ziricote tummy bevel, a cutaway and a perfectly shaped neck with 45mm (1 3/4") nutwidth all of which provide the optimal platform to do what this guitar was named for: playing fingerstyle guitar. That is not to say it can't handle a bit of strumming, but it's when playing fingerstyle that this instrument truly shines. The unique balance manages to lift the often neglected mids to match the brilliant top end and keep in check the bass. Hearing is believing, but this might very well be the ultimate fingerstyle instrument.  It is truly no small feat building a guitar which sounds as good as this. This is where the Waanders design philosophy comes into play: style, stiffness, lightness, efficiency. Combine all these things and you get an instrument which features amongst other things a 5-piece Brazilian Rosewood/Maple neck, a lifetime warranty to the original owner against neck resets thanks to carbon fiber flying buttresses going from the neck to the sides and laminating the upper transverse brace with carbon fiber while supporting it with firm columns attached to the sides the guitar, very stiff double sides crafted out of Rosewood and Mahogany, Lightweight Brazilian Rosewood bridge and braces with weight reduction in a unique ‘star’ pattern with only three transverse braces making for a very lightweight and stiff construction. Part of the inspiration for some of the design choices Waanders made for this instrument come from the construction of hyper cars where power-to-weight and stiffness also play a major role, and thus the Hyperguitar was born! The instrument travels in a sturdy Ameritage Hardshell case and comes with a certificate of authenticity and CITES. Consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
