Luthiers Bernie Lehmann and Jeff Cole have teamed up to create a unique offering: a tribute to Louis Panormo’s “Spanish Style” guitars from 1830s London. Constructed with modern techniques and materials at hand, this Panormo marries the traditional–like Brazilian Rosewood sides and a bees wax finished top–with the contemporary–see the graphite saddle.  “I want people to be unsure if it is old or new when the first look at it,” says Lehmann. Of course, it’s a little bit of both. This Panormo features solid Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, and a Spanish heel with Panorama-style fan bracing.

The Sitka Spruce top is finished to a matte sheen with beeswax and adorned by a pearl-inlaid bridge and rosette. Brazilian Rosewood for the fretboard, itself adorned with EVO gold frets, mated beautifully to the ebonised Mahogany neck. Right down to the hand-turned Mammoth Ivory endpin and strap button, the attention to detail by Lehmann & Cole has paid off handsomely–and the voice is sweet, balanced, and surprisingly loud. For the Civil War buff or Early Romantic Classical musician, this Panormo is a one-of-a-kind right up your alley. And it comes with a custom coffin case from Lehmann & Cole, dark-green and burgundy like the original!
