Share
Fenech's dedication to craftsmanship and tonal excellence aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing musicians with the finest tools for their artistic expression. When considering Fenech Guitars, understanding how their various body shapes affect sound and playability is crucial for finding your perfect instrument. Fenech meticulously designs each model to serve different musical styles and player preferences.
Our Signature Shapes
The Auditorium: Fenech's proprietary Auditorium design represents a refined evolution of the smaller-bodied acoustic guitar. It offers exceptional volume and tonal articulation, characterised by rich overtones and a focused mid-range projection. This shape is particularly well-suited for fingerstyle playing, delicate strumming, and recording applications where clarity and balance are paramount.
The Grand Auditorium: Expanding upon the Auditorium's design, the Grand Auditorium provides enhanced tonal depth and resonance. Its larger body delivers a robust bass response, coupled with balanced warmth and sustain. This versatile shape accommodates a broad spectrum of playing styles, from intricate fingerpicking to dynamic strumming, making it ideal for singer-songwriters and studio work.
The D-75: The Fenech D-75 features a distinctive design with a wider lower bout and elegantly sloped shoulders compared to the D78. These structural refinements allow for an innovative bracing pattern that works harmoniously with the 24.75" scale length. The D-75 delivers remarkable volume and warmth with pronounced bass response and a distinctive mid-range clarity that cuts through the mix. This combination makes it particularly appealing for flatpicking and strumming techniques where power and tonal definition are essential.
The D-78: Fenech's D78 model offers a modern interpretation of the classic dreadnought. Renowned for its powerful low-end, articulate mid-range, and brilliant treble response, this shape excels in delivering a commanding and balanced tone. It is particularly favoured by flatpickers and players who require substantial projection and note separation for live performance and recording.
The Stage Auditorium: Designed for stage performance, the Stage Auditorium provides a compact and comfortable playing experience without compromising tonal quality. Its scaled-down design delivers surprising volume and clarity, with a focused mid-range and balanced overall tone. The shorter scale length enhances playability, making it ideal for musicians who prioritise comfort and portability.
The Jumbo: Fenech's Jumbo models are engineered for maximum volume and resonance. The large body size produces a powerful bass response, rich mid-range, and sparkling treble, delivering exceptional projection and sustain. This shape is well-suited for players who require a bold and expansive sound, particularly in live performance settings.
Finding Your Perfect Guitar
A guitar's body shape significantly impacts both sound and playability. Each design creates different resonance patterns that affect volume, sustain, and tonal balance. The shape also determines how comfortably the instrument sits against your body during play. We recommend trying different models to experience these differences firsthand and find the guitar that best suits your playing style and requirements.
