Special Build

226 African Blackwood in a 25.5” scale with Engelmann top and all the bling you could ever want.  Tastefully created by Bill Wise, this is one of the few Special Build Charis Guitars that are available.  There will be no more of these built at this time.  This is the perfect combination of the right top and back woods to get all that’s possible from a guitar.  It’s very loud and robust with superior focus and tonal colors for a versatile guitar that should last several lifetimes.

Small Jumbo Cut-Away

 

Special Build APM Exclusive

233 We searched through several hundred sets of African Blackwood and found several that qualified for these Special Build Guitars. This one is exceptional. The tone is loud and robust with a tonal palette that is inspiring. The volume is extreme on this instrument! In combination with the superior sustain and complex overtones, you will be able to play various styles with ease. Many Luthiers claim that African Blackwood is better than Brazilian. If you used this guitar as an example, you would agree. When it’s gone there will be no more Special Builds at this price.

251 This is one of the few remaining sets of rare WILD Rosewood. Paired with a lush piece of Creamy white Engelmann and Bill’s Tone Magic, this is a guitar that will turn heads and ears. Loud, robust, focus, sustain, powerful bass, nice balance. Strum it, pick it, play it!

252 This is a special handpicked set of T’zalam or Mayan Walnut that was cut from a huge tree. The flame is awesome and the tone is a cross between EIR and Walnut. Wood with dark rich depth. The Cedar adds fingerstyle sparkle, but don’t think you can’t crank this baby up! It’s shines with a plectrum and strumming is phenomenal. What a beautiful piece of art you can play!

253 Carabali is an exceptional new-found wood. It’s the perfect cross between E.I.Rosewood and Mahogany. It’s dark and rich with “Punch”! Lush full bass response with crystal clear highs and mids that won’t stop. What a great combination and creation by Bill Wise. Truly a superior and versatile instrument.

Performance Series

254 Carabali and Engelmann is a combination that could win the battle of the truly versatile acoustic guitar. It’s dark, rich, fat tone is solid punchy with plenty of bass, mids and trebles to cut through the mix. This is my favorite top wood on a newly discovered back wood that we found called Carabali (think Mahogany on Steroids). Exceptional tonal palette that can whet your acoustic appetite!

255

How much better than Master grade Rosewood and a perfect specimen of Engelmann in the hands of Bill Wise. Volume that is as good as a dreadnought, but balanced with superior sustain and hinted with complex overtones for a versatile instrument. The neck is the best on the planet and is super fast. This is a FUN guitar to play…and you can own it!

Throw any playing style at this instrument and you will not be dissappointed. Plenty of volume to drive any acoustic set. Strong bass that’s not covered up by the mids and treble. Focus and Sustain with a slight mix of overtones to excite any guitarist into a playing frenzy!

258 Carabali is newly discovered and does it have a tone! It’s a steroid cross between Rosewood and Mahogany. This Charis Creation has the dark, rich lush bass that you would expect from Rosewood but the mids and trebles are powerful 1-2 punches that cut through the mix. This is what everyone has been wanting…an acoustic guitar that does everything well.

259 All you need to add to this instrument is your fingers! It’s one guitar I don’t want to put down. Powerful bass response but amazing mids and high toned trebles that cut through. You choose fingers or plectrum. It goes all out with either. Wonderful sustain and volume.

Volume, controlled focus, unbelievable sustain, hint of overtone quality, playability that surpasses 99% of other guitars. You won’t regret this purchase.
