Dowina, a brand with a workshop near Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, a landlocked country in Eastern Europe. It is a handmade brand crafted in a rich natural environment with distinct seasons, much like Japan. The brand name, Dowina, comes from the ancient castle, now called Devin Castle, located on an island where the Danube and Morava rivers meet, near Bratislava and Vienna. This instrument is the ACERO-GAC-DS, a maple specification of the MASTER SERIES, the flagship model, entirely handcrafted by Dowina's top luthiers. Top: Dolomite Spruce Sides & Back: Flame Maple Neck: Flame Maple (Wenge reinforcement) Fingerboard: Ebony Bridge: Ebony Pegs: Original Other: Gloss finish body, half-matte pickguard 【Body Size (mm)】 Upper Bout: 280 Waist: 240 Lower Bout: 390 Body Length: 500 Depth: 98-116 The Dolomite Spruce for the top is spruce harvested in the Dolomites, a mountain range in northeastern Italy, part of the Eastern Alps. Only spruce used in famous violins like Stradivarius is called this. The model name ACERO means "maple" in Italian. As the name suggests, the ACERO is a very beautiful guitar, unified with gorgeous flame maple wood throughout the body, headstock, and even the neck. It has a clear, transparent sound across all frequencies, with a very refreshing tone. Simple and rustic, yet with a bright and graceful Eastern European aesthetic. This is an attention-grabbing brand with overwhelming cost performance for a European handmade guitar; please give it a try! Quoted from Dolphin Guitars I purchased this new from Dolphin Guitars last year. I have been using it carefully because I didn't want to scratch it. There are no dents or scratches. I have never taken it outside. I think it is a very beautiful guitar. Thank you.
