Charango Ac3

The Ac3 models are the most elaborate designs I build, and the ones that take the most hours of work.

The bodies and necks are "laminated," built from several pieces of carefully selected woods (they can also be made from a single select piece). The objectives of this format are: to guarantee and increase the instrument's stability, to make the most of unique pieces of well-seasoned, dry wood (ideally naturally dried), and to achieve figures that contribute to the piece's visual aesthetics.

In some cases, the soundboard work includes carbon fiber parts in its bracing (or struts). The purpose of including this material is to achieve greater longitudinal structure and rigidity for the top (rather than tangential) with lower weight, thereby obtaining high projection and volume, as well as an extra sparkle in the bass.

Certain visual aspects, woods, and design sections can be customized. The most important thing is that we talk to ensure the instrument adapts to each player's particular touch and style.
