How it sounds and how you’ll use it

The combination of a solid spruce top and blackwood back and sides yields a voice that’s articulate from the first brush of the pick or fingertip. You’ll notice a tight, immediate response to light picking, with a strong dynamic range when you dig in. The treble stays clear and shimmering, while the bass has warmth and sustain that never overwhelms your chord voicings. This makes the Luxe II ideal for genres from jazz-fusion and singer-songwriter ballads to lively live sets where you need both punch and nuance.

Onstage or in the studio, the Flex Blend electronics give you a natural amplified presence. You can blend signals to preserve acoustic character while achieving enough body and presence to compete with drums and keyboards. Frank Gambale’s influence is evident in the instrument’s balance and dynamic response, inviting expressive playing—from delicate cadences to aggressive, melodic lines—without sacrificing clarity.

Who this guitar is ideal for

• Professional gig musicians who need a stage-ready acoustic-electric with a refined, controlled voice.
• Studio players seeking a versatile instrument that records with musical clarity and dimensional presence.
• Jazz-fusion and fingerstyle players who value precise touch, excellent sustain, and expressive dynamics.
• Collectors and enthusiasts drawn to a distinctive, Art Deco-inspired aesthetic paired with boutique-level materials.

Tips to get the most from your Luxe II

• Keep the guitar in a controlled humidity range to preserve the solid spruce top and neck stability, especially in varying shooting-season environments.
• Use the Flex Blend control to dial in a natural balance between the internal character of the wood and the amplified signal for different performance venues.
• Experiment with mic-like cutaways and blend settings during recording to capture the instrument’s true dynamic range without harsh peaks.
• Care for the ebony fingerboard with occasional conditioning to maintain smooth playability and long-lasting scratch resistance.
