Bert Kwakkel Concert Guitar

This Bert Kwakkel concert guitar showcases a rare and intriguing construction method: the top bracing is carved directly into the spruce top itself, creating a vaulted design without any additional external wood bracing. This approach requires intensive, time-consuming craftsmanship, and as Bert himself notes, he’s only made a few of these unique models.
