The La Grandeur guitar is a special commission from a valued customer of IGS, located in Bumi Serpong Damai (Tangerang). This individual is a renowned collector of prestigious globally recognized brands such as Martin, Taylor, and Gibson, as well as exquisite boutique guitars crafted by individual luthiers like Sergei de Jonge etc.
His introduction to IGS guitars began in 2022 when he visited the IGS studio to pick up an imported guitar he had ordered. While trying out the available IGS models in the studio, he was profoundly impressed by their sound, which he believed could compete with, or even surpass, the renowned brands, despite only trying the basic series, as the La Grandeur series had not yet been released.
Fast forward to the end of 2023, when the La Grandeur series was finally unveiled; he decided to order his first guitar. So taken with its quality, he proceeded to order additional pieces, culminating in a total of four La Grandeur guitars.
This particular guitar is custom-made to his specifications, featuring a top crafted from sinker redwood, which imparts a unique tonal character akin to a blend of spruce and cedar. It possesses the punchiness and responsiveness of cedar, while also delivering the rich, full-bodied sound typical of spruce. The back and sides are constructed from Ziricote, an exotic wood from Mexico renowned for its stunning aesthetics and exceptional tonal reflection, resulting in a rich tapestry of overtones.
The La Grandeur series ensures that each guitar exemplifies the highest quality standards. Not only do they offer world-class sound and material specifications, but they also showcase exquisite and meticulous craftsmanship. This exceptional combination has led to numerous customers placing repeat orders, thoroughly satisfied with the quality that IGS consistently delivers.
