Brazilian Artistry Transcends Every Known Boundary.
Rodrigo Moya doesn't just build guitars in his Brazilian workshop - he creates geological symphonies that happen to have strings attached. This seven-string masterpiece represents what occurs when a master luthier gains access to materials most builders only dream about, then applies Old World craftsmanship to create something genuinely unprecedented.
Brazilian Gravilha for the body? Most players have never even heard of this exotic hardwood, let alone experienced its unique tonal characteristics. That Pau Santo Amazonia fretboard provides playing surfaces smoother than silk while contributing harmonic complexity that standard rosewood simply cannot match. The neck-through construction ensures every note transfers maximum energy from strings to body, creating sustain that seems to ignore basic physics.
But here's where this instrument ventures into genuine art territory: those crushed stone inlays incorporating red coral, lapis lazuli, turquoise, madreperola, and onyx. These aren't just pretty decorations - they're functional art that provides navigational landmarks during complex passages while creating visual drama that shifts and changes under different lighting conditions. The textured copper sheet adds another tactile element that makes this guitar feel unlike anything else you've ever touched.
That seven-string configuration with 24¾-inch scale length opens sonic territories most six-string players never explore. Those growling low-end passages that make bass players nervous, combined with singing highs that pierce through any mix. The extra jumbo frets on that exotic fretboard provide consistent response across all 24 positions, while the 1.918-inch nut width accommodates the additional string without feeling cramped.
The Hipshot Gibraltar hardware keeps everything mechanically bulletproof, while those Q-parts UFO knobs with black jewel tops complete the visual statement. Simple volume and push/pull tone controls with three-way switching keep things practical during performance situations.
