The Guitar Player's Resource
Think about it: are guitar names are just marketing nonsense? La Canastera tells a deeper story. Spanish gypsies, avoiding persecution, used nicknames referring to their trades - silversmith, horse-trader, basket-maker ("Canastero"). Since guitars are feminine, the basket-maker became "La Canastera." That history matters because this instrument carries the same spirit of making something beautiful while surviving against the odds.
This isn't just another pretty guitar. That combination of gold-top and sunburst creates a literal show-stopper, but here's what separates it from other eye candy: Teye redesigned the body for better construction and resonance, not just looks. The Korina-built Super-E series features luxurious Bedouin fingerboard material and that hand-rubbed oil "Shipwreck" finish that feels as distinctive as it looks.
The real advancement is in the electronics. Teye's new MOJO-control system expands far beyond their old Mood-circuit, giving you more bite and tone on both raw and filtered sounds. While other boutique builders focus on vintage reproduction, Teye engineered forward-thinking electronics that expand your sonic possibilities.
That aluminum rear plate with Cleopatra motif isn't just decoration - it's part of an instrument philosophy that refuses to separate art from function. When master craftspeople understand that beauty and performance enhance each other, you get instruments that inspire on every level.
The question is: are you ready for a guitar that honors tradition while pushing boundaries?
