The Luthien Model is the result of combining these designs: -Hauser shape and size -René LaCôte design of lining the back with spruce to sweeten the tone -The modern design of lining the sides to stiffen them to allow the top to vibrate without torsion effects on the sides -Robert Bouchet's soundboard bracing pattern to improve sustain and sound production What is the result? The Luthien Model! This guitar is, loud, clear and resonant with tone qualities of the modern guitar, yet it is sweet and responsive like a 19th Century guitar, with beautiful overtones. What does 'Luthien' mean? In Tolkien's tales, Luthien Tinuviel was a beautiful elven princess whose name means Nightingale Enchantress who chose mortality to marry a man, Beren. Tuners: Schaller Neckwood: mahogony Fingerboard: ebony Model: Luthien
