The wood used for the Nuevo Koa comes from Hawaii. Koa is becoming increasingly popular in guitar making. Not only because of its unusual grain, but especially because of its good sound characteristics - warm and woody. The sound of koa sweetens and deepens with time. Bring a piece of Hawaii home with it!

Protecting our forests is important. Join in!
Sustainability is becoming more and more important for all of us. The protection of nature is very close to our hearts. That is why we at ARTESANO have decided to use only wood from controlled sustainable forestry for the Nuevo, Sonata, Maestro and Flamenco series. All models of these series use these sustainable tonewoods.
