About your Top

Brazilian Lacewood

Brazilian lacewood (Panopsis spp.) is a hardwood native to South America, particularly Brazil. It is easily recognized by its distinctive lace-like figuring, created by large, medullary rays that form a consistent, scale-like pattern across the surface. The color ranges from light golden brown to reddish hues, with the grain typically being straight and coarse-textured. Its unique appearance and natural shimmer make Brazilian lacewood a popular choice for decorative applications and fine instrument making.

Lovely Curves

S-Series tops are not only bent on the armrest which keeps intact the beautiful grain, but they are also inlayed, which seamlessly integrates the top to the body.

Supercharged. by Belforti

Ultra Electronics

The S-Series comes equiped with our Ultra Electronics.

Like the name suggests, the Ultra Electronics are a supercharged, boosted version of our electronics. It is paired with our AURA IV Pickups Family, which retain the architecture of the AURA III family, but replacing the magnets with Alnico 8s. These are the most powerfull, precise, and pulling magnets available. They are not only powerfull, they preserve the natural sound of the instrument and are not to modern or aggressive like ceramic or neodymium.

Just tell your sound engineer before playing, you've been warned.
