HANDCRAFTED CARBON FIBER IN NEW MODULUS GUITAR.

IN KEEPING WITH ITS LIMITED production approach to guitars and basses, Modulus Guitars has introduced a new semi-hollow, 15" wide Genesis 3SH guitar. The guitar features a combination of hand-carving, high-tech patented Genesis carbon fiber neck technology, and the exclusivity of low-quantity production runs.

"We were concerned by the number of once-small guitar makers moving into large-scale production, leaving a dearth of instruments beating the unmistakable look and feel of individual craftsmanship," said Modulus President Rich Lasner. "We felt the need to continue the tradition of individually crafted guitars, and chose one of our top builders, Rich Hoeg, to focus solely on G3 carved top guitars," he continued. "Rich has nearly 30 years of building experience and has worked at Modulus in several capacities over the last ten years," relates Lasner. "He developed a unique hand-carving technique for the G3 carved tops, which results in a perfectly voiced body. The guitar almost literally sings."

This line of carved-top instruments qualifies to carry the FSC Certified Wood label, as each is made from over 70% certified wood. Only four G3SH guitars are constructed each week.
