Nitrate Celluloid / GVT OLD JACARANDA MODELS.....

Acoustic sounds of Real nitrate celluloid guards .Celluloid nitrate affects the resonance of the instrument, many do not believe it but after so many years working with them, we do observe differences vs stock plastic, abs.The nitrate bite acoustically without amplification is more defined, some more woody nuances we find in its resonance!The fuller mid-range and we also eliminate static electricity from synthetic materials such as plastic, abs and derivatives.In addition to getting the history correct for the most obsessive guitarists like us!All are advantages, it is the real thing!All backed by more than 20 years working on the guitars that we are passionate about and the technical capacity of a team that has worked, works for and for him.....
