In 1998, Boaz and Majkowski embarked on a project to build several Kasha-Schneider Classicals to honor the passing of Majkowski’s teacher, Richard Schneider. The result is something truly unlike anything else out there. The body is constructed with Redwood top—and back—with Brazilian Rosewood sides; the bridge and top thicknesses are engineered to maximize bass response from the left and treble on the right; and the Redwood back is designed to operate as an active speaker diaphragm. Offsetting the soundhole to the sonically dead treble upper bout area frees up the rest of the top to be more optimally braced, and the neck is fretted with Brass to add mass and rigidity, thus minimizing the amount vibrational energy lost in the neck. Gilbert tuners and an Ameritage case round out the package of a one-of-a-kind Classical.

The research Kasha and Schneider have done into acoustic guitar building has left a lasting mark on the industry. Boaz and Majkowski came together to celebrate their discoveries and to build this wonderful instrument using all of their innovations. 
Elkayam Boaz plus George Majkowski, building in homage to the Kasha-Schneider innovations, produced a handful of unique pieces that have stood the test of time. This design is a radical departure from traditional Classical forms, and has a powerful, focused voice that further stands apart from the crowd. | Scale Length | 26 in |
