Babicz - Spider

Product details

The Babicz range of guitars are a major departure to established thinking on the design of acoustic guitars, and this is most obvious in the striking design of the guitars.Why are they designed like this? To fully go in to the whys and wherefores, it is better to visit www.babiczguitars.com where Jeff Babicz explains his design philosophy, but in a nutshell, the "spider" string design stops the "bellying" of the soundboard over time, which would mean removal of the bridge, filing it down and re-fitting it, a lengthy process.

The "spider" design, patented by Babicz, stops this happening. In addition, the soundboard can be braced less and this contributes to an "aliveness" of the guitar that is not found on guitars of this price range.

Another feature of the Babicz guitars is the parallel action neck adjustment. In essence you can adjust the action, on the fly, whilst you are playing, thanks to an allen key slot at the back of the guitar at the base of the neck. So you can go from and electric guitar type action, to a flat-picking set up in seconds.
