For many guitarists, their guitar is like a third arm. It is an extension of the musician and a vital tool used in expressing the musician’s emotions. The quality of the instrument should not be overlooked. One of the most important components of a quality guitar is the wood that is used. Every Braamse guitar is constructed with premium wood, guaranteeing a great sound you will not find in many mass produced instruments.

Many mass produced guitars do not use real wood!

Many guitars in the sub $500 price level are not made with real wood. They are often made with a composite material and veneered to look like real wood. Some may use real wood on the top of the guitar, but then construct the back and sides with a veneer. This means that the guitar will not age well.

Real wood guitars sound better the more you play them!

A guitar constructed with all wood materials opens up over time the more it is played. It ages with the musician. Like a fine wine, a well built guitar gets better with age. The sound is constantly evolving and improving. This is not possible with a guitar constructed with fake wood. It will not age as well as a real wood guitar.
