SoloEttes are superb instruments which are clearly made with a level of care and attention that seems to have become very rare. Delicate yet rugged. Clever, yet practical and built to delight you (and your audience if you so choose).

SoloEtte SONGBIRD Nylon Hybrid
SoloEtte SONGBIRD Nylon Hybrid

Here is the fantastic, all new, US made SoloEtte Songbird Hybrid guitar, a nylon strung instrument with a contemporary 46 mm nut and a gentle 16 inch radius along the fingerboard. A feature which actually continues along the entire body. 

This is certainly guitar with its very own unique look and stunning styling.

The Songbird offers its owners something quite different and it will appeal to the steel acoustic style player, offering a familiar format but with all the warmth and mellowness of a great nylon strung instrument. However, the pure Classical player will also find the Songbird a joy for those wishing to explore some new techniques and musical styles but which is also very familiar.

These guitars are hand made from a single piece of American Hard Rock Maple and benefit from the unique Wright Technologies condenser mic pickup system and an integrated headphone amplifier.  

And of course the Songbird also comes in the go anywhere, play anywhere and top quality package so well proven by the SoloEtte Classical model.

Reassuringly different.

SoloEtte CLASSICAL Padauk
SoloEtte CLASSICAL Padauk

The American hand made SoloEtte Classical guitar is designed to provide the details and authenticity required by the practicing classical guitarist so you will find that there are exactly 19 frets, no side dot markers, a scale length of 25 ½ inches (647.7mm), a nut width of 52mm (2.05 inches) and the string spacing at the saddle is 57mm (2 ¼ inches) and the action comes set to the proper classical string height and is adjustable.

There is nothing small or hybrid about the neck. It is the full standard classical guitar neck and with the frame attached, the SoloEtte body simulates the full size Torres classic guitar shape in your lap and balances beautifully.

The medium size frame piece, which supports your right arm, is the edge outline of your guitar and you can rest the weight of your arm on it so your fingertips will hover over the strings right where you would expect. The smaller frame piece in the upper left bout tilts back and affects the depth of the guitar. This is a great feature that pushes the guitar forward a bit so it will lie in the proper plane and not lay back on your chest or point at the ceiling.

You do not need to use a guitar strap and the head does not swing down toward the floor every time you let go of the neck, like some other travel guitars and because the tuners are at the “other end”, this guitar is 5 inches shorter than “normal”. This reorientation of the tuners also helps to create balance and offers superior tuning access.

The unique pickup system uses stereo microphones which react to the movement of air caused by the string vibration inside the special hollow saddle which produces a rounder and fuller sound than more typical piezo style pickups. An integrated stereo pre-amp will drive headphones and a standard guitar amplifier or p.a. system, in either mono or stereo.

Finally, the lightweight, compact and practical SoloEtte is complemented by a custom made soft carry case to ensure great but practical protection when travelling.

Here we see the warmth and colour offered by the Indian Padauk tone wood which offers a more traditional look with its dark fingerboard and body. Again, the one piece design of the instrument neck and body allows you to fully appreciate the character and grain of this fabulous wood which will be finished superbly.

Shown here is the hard rock maple version which provides a truly contemporary look. This wood has a sleek and glassy feel to both neck and fingerboard and the one piece design allows the wood grain to be fully appreciated and it will be finished superbly.
