THE EXCELLENCE OF CRAFTMANSHIP
FOR UNIQUE AND RARE INSTRUMENTS
For nearly 25 years, Sabolovic Guitars has been crafting exceptional jazz archtop guitars.
Vatroslav Sabolovic developed his own technique, inspired by the tradition of classical quartet making.
Unlike laminated instruments, every Sabolovic guitar is fully hand-carved from solid tonewoods, precisely graduated to a tenth of a millimeter to unlock their full acoustic potential.
Each archtop requires more than a month of meticulous craftsmanship, not including finishing.
Great care is given to aesthetics and design: rare materials, original creations, and unique finishes make every instrument a true work of art
100% handcrafted in France, in the Aussonne workshop near Toulouse, every guitar is individually made in limited numbers, making them highly sought after by musicians and collectors worldwide.
Exceptional instruments, each with a unique personality.
THE VERY FINEST MATERIALS
OLD EUROPEAN WOODS, PEARL, BRONZE, SILVER, BUFFALO BONE, VEGETABLE IVORY…
At Sabolovic Guitars, every instrument begins with noble materials, carefully chosen for their beauty and resonance.
– Spruce and maple: sourced from French and European forests, prized for their acoustic excellence.
– Natural seasoning: our woods mature naturally for years before entering the workshop.
– Exotic tonewoods: ebony, rosewood, and other rare species from around the globe.
– Precious details: Polynesian mother-of-pearl, gold, silver, bronze… elevating each guitar into a jewel.
– Refined inlays: bone, mother-of-pearl, and vegetable ivory for timeless decorative artistry.
Every material is selected to enhance the aesthetics, durability, and musicality of the instrument.
