Guitars Cavalie

Guitars Cavalie specialize in the fabrication of high end acoustic (steel string) and classical (nylon string) guitars.

All the instruments that have their logo are made in France. They also have some very famous guitarists who swear by their instruments, namely Taj Mahal
and Al Di Meola.

Guitars Cavalie has a design philosophy that is based entirely around the sound. Unlike other conventional guitar makers, they do not use solid wood for the guitar body, instead they use an assembly of woods that they selected in function of their tonal qualities as well as their physical resistance to stress and temperature fluctuations. This makes their guitars not only sound good but also eco-friendly, as stratified wood is much less wasteful and more sustainable than solid woods.

They call this innovative method the “JC Proprietary Hybrid Soundboard design”. The resulting structure is consistently uniform, without bracings, and is designed based solely on the sonic quality of the chosen tonewood combination.

You can find out more about their guitar design by visiting their website. There you also find information on their Cruise Control 60 CLS acoustic guitar, and their Custom Concert Classical guitar.
