While I am waiting for my next Hempstone bodies to arrive, I made a Canna guitar body out of wood. Back and sides are laminated and have a 3D shape. The shape provides better playing comfort and a stiffer soundbox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I am Jakob, the creator of the Canna Guitars, handcrafted acoustic guitars with a body made of hemp. The guitars are 100% natural, with a truly unique avant-guarde design. Making my art, so you can do yours!

I always try to find out new ways to innovate and improve my guitars. One thing that has been bothering me was the sensitivity of my spruce tops. Therefore I made a guitar using 'Sonoveneer'. It's the veneer version of 'Sonowood'. I use it to make the top layer of my doule-top guitar tops. The main advantage is it's durability and scratch resistance. As you can see in this demonstration, it's quiet unscratchable, even with french polish! 'Sonowood' is an alternative to ebony and other tropical woods in instrumentmaking. It was developed as a sustainable alternative to natural ebony, to reduce destructive exploitation of tropical forests and ensure availability from domestic sources. Wood density greatly increased Adjustable parameters: Brinell-hardness, density, color Stable dimensions Native solid woods such as ash, beech, maple, spruce their website: http://swisswoodsolutions.ch --------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I am Jakob and I am an industrial designer and guitarmaker from Germany and I am the creator of the Canna Guitars, handcrafted acoustic guitars with a body made of hemp.

I made a fretboard out of spruce and a "sonoveneer" as the surface layer. This way i get the hardness and durability of "Sonowood" with the light weight of spruce. Sonowood is a densified wood made in Switzerland. By compressing the wood it gets much harder and more durable while improving the visual appeal and saving the enviroment. A real alternative to tropical woods and a product that I can only endorse. If you want to learn more about Sonowood, I made a video about my first impressions: https://youtu.be/ah8Qb57S9A4 and about sonoveneer: https://youtu.be/wR1Vz5tlL2k Sonowood website: https://swisswoodsolutions.ch/en/sonowood/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I am Jakob, the creator of the Canna Guitars, handcrafted acoustic guitars with a body made of hemp.
