The top is made of master-grade spruce, paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, all under a warm French polish that enhances both texture and colour. With a scale of 640 mm and a 49 mm nut, the neck sits comfortably in the hand, shaped for fluid movement across the fingerboard.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nTonally, the guitar delivers a rich and saturated voice with impressive depth. Its heavy tonal weight gives every note presence and gravitas, while the upper register remains brilliant and clear. The air-body frequency sits around F♯\/G, contributing to the warmth and resonance. Articulation is precise, and the sound blooms with a wealth of colour options, making it a highly versatile instrument for a wide variety of repertoire. Subtle visual flourishes in the purfling and rosette round out a guitar that is as sophisticated in sound as it is in appearance.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThis instrument is in excellent condition with only minimal signs of play.

The entire instrument is finished with French polish which preserves both resonance and tactile lightness. With a scale length of 640 mm and a nut of 49.5 mm the guitar offers an immediately comfortable feel and a slightly more compact geometry. Gotoh tuning machines complement the clean and precise visual presentation of the instrument. At only 1370 grams the guitar responds quickly and breathes freely even under the lightest touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe sound is airy, full bodied and warm with a round softness that gives each note a natural presence. The resonance is strong and the sustain is long which allows melodic lines to unfold with ease. The instrument projects clearly yet keeps a gentle character that feels inviting and expressive. The balance across the registers is even and the guitar reveals many colours with only small variations of the right hand. It offers a reassuring sense of stability without losing its openness. The maple voice is present and gives the guitar a smooth and luminous quality that enhances both lyrical playing and transparent polyphony. This is an instrument that encourages the player to explore a wide tonal palette while remaining consistently comfortable in every position.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe guitar is in mint condition and shows no signs of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52907175346509,"sku":"S18718","price":5990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/Ivan-Bruna-2023-64-cm-14.jpg?v=1772644910"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/ivan-bruna.oembed","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
