Fuller’s approach to guitar making grew from two closely connected interests: working with wood and playing the classical guitar. He learned practical craftsmanship in his father’s workshop, where he spent years making toys and automata, and he traces this family tradition further back to his Cornish grandfather, a wheelwright. Fuller uses the name Purnell, his middle name, for his guitars as a tribute to that heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAfter taking up the classical guitar at the age of sixteen, Fuller became increasingly absorbed by the instrument’s construction and expressive possibilities. He later studied Musical Instrument Technology at London Guildhall University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science before establishing his own workshop, first in Laxfield and later in Reydon, Suffolk.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eHis work begins with the traditional Spanish guitar and with the tonal ideals he finds in historical instruments by makers such as Antonio de Torres and Santos Hernández. Rather than pursuing weight and volume as ends in themselves, Fuller builds lightly, seeking an intimate connection between the player and the vibrating body of the instrument. His guitars are intended to offer a broad palette of colour and dynamics, with enough refinement and projection for the concert stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFuller constructs his guitars on a traditional solera and continues to refine his own interpretation of Torres-style fan bracing. His current design incorporates five fan braces, an additional lower transverse strut and increased soundboard doming. These elements add carefully controlled stiffness while preserving low weight, allowing him to shape the attack, sustain and tonal flexibility without sacrificing the responsive character he values.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eBuilt in 2026 and bearing the number 137, this spruce and Indian rosewood guitar expresses Jake P. Fuller’s lightweight interpretation of the traditional Spanish concert instrument. At just over 1.3 kilograms, it feels unusually alive in the hands: the body resonates freely, and the soundboard responds quickly without giving the tone a lightweight or insubstantial character.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe response is soft and immediate, requiring little effort to bring the instrument fully into motion. Its tonal profile is bright and focused, yet the basses add considerable depth and prevent the sound from becoming lean. The attack remains clean and precise, while the note develops with enough elasticity to support subtle changes of colour and articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eClarity is one of the instrument’s defining strengths. The sound is pure and relatively unsaturated, allowing individual notes to retain their own shape rather than merging into a dense harmonic wash. Chords remain transparent, melodic lines pass cleanly across the registers, and the instrument preserves a natural distinction between bass, inner voices and treble.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe guitar also has a supple, flexible quality under the right hand. It reacts readily to small changes in attack and releases the sound without resistance, giving the player direct control over phrasing and dynamic contour. The result is a voice rooted in traditional Spanish construction but distinguished by its lightness, clarity and unusually free resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259449692493,"sku":"S18991","price":6990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/jake-p-fuller-2026-no137-11.jpg?v=1783600887","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/jake-p-fuller-2026-no-137","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
