Our latest Casimi is a sight to see, and a wonder to hear. This C2S was built in 2017 for a discerning client with dramatic Pernambuco back and sides and a, well, striking set of Lucky Strike Redwood on top. We find that the Pernambuco gives the voice an evenness and definition that would be a touch dry, but when paired with the Lucky Strike top the result is a smoothness and velvety texture that is pretty distinct from most of what we hear coming out of guitars these days.
The sides are inlaid with vines and Mayan glyphs which dovetail with the Mayan-inflected raised rosette (a Casimi hallmark) and endgraft. Red purflings along the Ebony bindings and arm bevel set off the Pernambuco and Redwood, and like all Casimis this C2S features a 12-fret neck join and deep Florentine Cutaway, their unique pinless bridge, and hollow headstock with Gotoh 510 tuners. All this comes wrapped up in a Hoffee flight case, rest assured.

I have long loved Pernambuco, it has a dry clarity and punch with a lovely shape to the note. This set is the good stuff, very orange and striking in color and it’s the perfect backdrop for the amazing artwork that Casimi Guitars create. The brass elements and inlay work are stunning. This is one of those guitars you can just stare at all day, but you should stop and play it too, because it will blow you away. | Scale Length | 24.9 in |
