Fenech Custom Shop Bluegrass D78 Dreadnought Rosewood Acoustic Guitar

Fenech Custom Shop Bluegrass Series – Where Tradition Meets Craft

The Fenech Custom Shop Bluegrass Series embodies the perfect marriage of tradition, innovation, and meticulous craftsmanship. Designed for discerning players, each guitar is carefully voiced and hand-finished by our master luthiers, ensuring an instrument that resonates with character, clarity, and timeless appeal.

Inspired by the legendary pre-war guitars revered by bluegrass musicians, this series delivers a tonal palette that is both powerful and nuanced. Expect warm, rounded highs, a strong low-mid presence, and the quick attack that flat pickers demand. With exceptional projection and sustain, these guitars thrive in ensemble settings yet remain expressive for solo performance.

The Bluegrass Series features the classic tonewood pairings of AAA-grade spruce tops with either mahogany or Indian rosewood back and sides. Every set of wood is hand-selected for lightness, resonance, and tonal complexity, ensuring each guitar has its own unique voice. Complementing the build are vintage-style appointments such as bone nut and saddle, solid timber bindings, and period-correct machine heads—finishing touches that enhance both the sound and the old-world aesthetic.

Built with passion and precision, the Fenech Custom Shop Bluegrass Series is more than an instrument—it’s a tribute to tradition, crafted to inspire a lifetime of music.
