Fenech Vintage Auditorium Mahogany

The Vintage Auditorium draws inspiration from the golden era of guitars between 1920 and the 1940s. During this period, soulful tones were produced from simple instruments to play blues, country, and folk music as a heartfelt response to the hard times of the Depression era. These musical styles became the roots of popular American music for decades to come.

For this series, Aaron Fenech redesigned his classic Auditorium shape by making the body narrower and similar in size to the classic orchestral or 00 guitars of the golden era. The use of genuine Mahogany for the soundboard and back and sides helped to produce an articulate voice with rich overtones while retaining an impressive mid-range response and focused projection.
