This Usherovich lattice-braced guitar stands out for its deep, resonant basses and incredibly articulate trebles. It has a low main air resonance (E-F range), giving it an immersive depth—akin to the feeling of hearing a full-range sound system or the powerful foundation of a brass ensemble. Despite its strength in the low end, the trebles cut through beautifully, offering clarity and sustain without sacrificing warmth.

One of its most impressive qualities is its evenness across all registers—whether you're playing delicate phrasing or pushing for full-bodied projection, every note carries with exceptional sustain and balance. The sympathetic vibrations and overtones add a choral-like complexity to the sound, making the instrument feel alive in your hands.

The low action and highly playable neck profile make this one of the most effortless lattice-braced guitars to play, and at under 1,400g, it’s remarkably lightweight. This ultra-responsive design means that even the lightest touch produces a full, rich tone, while its dynamic range allows for an incredible variety of expressive possibilities.

Mark Usherovich is building some of the most exciting modern concert guitars, and this lattice-braced model is an exceptional representation of his craftsmanship. With stunning projection, deep resonance, and a refined yet bold aesthetic, this guitar is equally suited for concert performance, recording, or serious study.

This 2024 instrument is in mint condition, as you would expect. It has been played gently and cared for at proper humidity since the guitar was finished and remains perfectly setup and structurally flawless.
