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.

Here we have a fantastic Bogdanovich Classical in Red Cedar and East Indian Rosewood. John builds what we think to be some of the best classical guitars out there old or new. His guitars have a quality of tone and voice that really sound full and robust, easily filling up a large room. Another thing that sets a Bogdanovich guitar apart from the rest is the perfection of build quality, they are gorgeous with nary a flawed motif. This particular Bogdanovich has been loved and has a few marks to show for it, but that just means that this thing has been played in well and has a full sonorous voice.

Dream Guitars owner Paul Heumiller plays a Bogdanovich and says “I get the chance to compare my J.S. Bogdanovich to the finest makers in the world and it stands next to absolutely everything. So strong, so clear and lovely.”. This Bogdanovich Classical guitar features Indian Rosewood and Spruce and John’s trademark, beautiful Wheat Rosette. John Bogdanovich is a well-known author on the subject of building guitars and his craftsmanship is second to none– clean and precise, a lot like the voice of this wonderful instrument.

John Bogdanovich is respected as a luthier who’s playing ability gives him the proper perspective to build an instrument that meets all the players needs. Recently he has garnered much attention by authoring the amazing book “Classical Guitar Making: A Modern Approach to a Traditional Design” which is being heralded as a wonderful resource. This guitar was built during his filming of the DVD version of the book and was recorded by Stanley Yates. The Rosewood and Spruce body offer a wonderfully dynamic voice, rich and clear. John’s rosette’s are stunning and the satinwood bindings here are a special touch.
