(Equals placing a capo on the 4.fret , but it sounds different because of the nature of design)

The G# can , of course , be tuned in any way , but the designers ears have decided that the G# - tuning sounds best – hence the name G#-GUITAR !!

IMPORTANT:
The G# is equipped with 010 to .046 strings , which is perfect when the guitar is tuned from G# to G# ( 1.G# , 2.D# , 3.B , 4.F# , 5.C# , 6.G# ) and other “high tunings”. The feel of the strings will be similar to your normal scale guitar. Lower tunings such as the regular E to E will work better with heavier strings ( like a “.012” set ) It`s important to remember that the G# can be tuned in any way, it`s totally up to you!

Different string-gauges require re-positioning of the bridge to get the intonation right; this is easily done as the bridge is movable by sliding back and forth ( a guitar-tuner is a good tool to get it right).

Technical specifications may be subject to change without notice !!

We have had questions from envirement- concerned people ( which is good ), about the woods that are used in the G#-guitar.

Our manufacturers guarantee that no threatened species are used in the construction of our guitar, and that, of course, is good!
