The Greek hero Achilles is one of the most famous figures in Greek myth, well known for his infamous anger and his art of fighting.
Like the hero which bears its name the Achilles guitar is the perfect war machine.
A huge solid body, great and deep sound due to the single cut design and an ergonomic design.
We wanted this model to be reliable, light weighted and beautiful to look at in its simplicity.
The premium italian chestnut body and the roasted ash neck are the real stars, while the richlite fretboard with stainless steel frets, the handmade pickups and the proprietary headless tuning system are the best companions it could have.
Like many other models the multiscale is a key feature, the only way to achieve stable tension accross the entire fretboard, especially in low tuning contexs.
We worked to make this instrument attractive to look and easy to take around.
