Danish luthier Ole Kehlet says, “As a luthier, my intention is to create guitars which fulfill the dreams of the artists who play them. My job is to turn dreams into reality. I believe life is much too short to create anything but the ultimate. Kehlet Guitars start where your dreams begin.” This gorgeous Finn Olafsson Signature Model is a great embodiment of that sentiment. It has a neck that is perfect for fingerstylists, and a mellifluous voice with a lively response and precise trebles. With its wide dynamic range and extra headroom, this guitar is a great fit for almost any genre. The body is Ziricote and European Spruce bound in lovely Curly Maple with distinctive rope style purflings.
Gorgeous is the first word that comes to mind, and that counts for both Kehlet’s visual aesthetic and his voice–this Olafsson Signature is a sack of dynamite with strings just ready to explode in full technicolor.
