The Luthier

Double Top Construction
This guitar features a cedar double top with Nomex core, a modern construction method inspired by the work of Gernot Wagner.
The double-top design significantly reduces the weight of the soundboard while maintaining structural stability. The result is a guitar that delivers:
-
Powerful projection
-
Exceptional sustain
-
Clear and even tone across the entire register
-
Quick response to the player’s touch
The Indian rosewood back and sides complement the cedar top beautifully, adding warmth, depth, and complexity to the tone.
Tone & Playing Experience
The Yulong Guo Philharmonic is a powerhouse concert guitar with an impressively balanced voice.
Players immediately notice:
-
Strong, projecting basses
-
Clear and singing trebles
-
Excellent note separation
-
Outstanding sustain
At the same time, the guitar remains extremely easy to play, thanks to its comfortable neck profile and responsive soundboard.
The neck features a comfortable, slightly thin C-shape, making it effortless to navigate across the fingerboard—even in technically demanding repertoire.
Design Details
Beyond its powerful voice, the Philharmonic model stands out visually with elegant craftsmanship and distinctive design elements.
The guitar features a beautiful rosette inspired by the style of José Luis Romanillos, combined with Guo’s own aesthetic touches, including a unique and striking headstock design.
Additional modern features such as the raised fingerboard and armrest enhance both comfort and playability for professional performers.
