ORCA '59

The Orca ´59 looks, plays, feels and sounds like one of those legendary instruments  of the 50’s. But unlike most of it‘s predecessors, its magic and authenticity unfold from day one. Both body and soul have been revived by the experience and knowledge of our proud craftsmen, who‘ve raised the bar with respect to how a classic guitar should sound and look.
You won’t have to wait fifty years for this one to become a legend!
