Infinito Acoustics

I've called this design "Infinito" because if you look at it you will see the infinity curve in a few locations.  On the latest build I used the infinity symbol as the 12th fret marker.  So far I've only used sapele for the body of the Infinitos.

Infinito Tenor Guitar / Baritone Ukulele

This is a four nylon string acoustic guitar with a 21 inch scale length.  It is slightly longer than a baritone ukulele and is tuned the same as the high four strings of a standard guitar.

I've built two of these, one with a cedar soundboard and the other with a spruce soundboard.   My opinion is that nylon strings sound better with a cedar soundboard, but all ears are different.

Infinito Clasico

This is a (near) full size six string version of the Infinito design.   Even though this is a nylon string guitar, the tuners on the headstock are steel-string versions.  The neck is also narrower, like a steel string guitar.

Infinito Concert Ukulele

This was a custom build for an Etsy customer.   The ukulele headstock is more traditional, being sloped with more room for fingers above the nut.  This was a good change that I'll incorporate into future Infinito's.

Infinita Acustica

This is a redesign of Infinito for steel strings.  The curves are slightly different and the bridge is redesigned to give it a more elegant look and support the strings (which are front loaded).  It also has a sapele rosette for strength.

​The bracing is a tri-fan like on La Osa, as I seem to be having the best luck obtaining pleasing tone with fan bracing.  It is slightly off-centered, though, to give a larger soundboard area on the bass side.
