The Turkowiak Opus Prime is a concert double-top classical guitar by Rafał Turkowiak — among Poland’s most pioneering luthiers — built from master-grade tonewoods and incorporating his full suite of patented innovations. The 11th-generation Wave Resonator delivers a proprietary double-top construction free of Nomex and balsa, while the patented Acoustic Tubes system routes resonance through the neck and back to the player. The voice reflects the engineering behind it: warm, sweet trebles and a bass of commanding depth and sustain. A rare opportunity to acquire a bespoke concert instrument where acoustic science and musical expression are in complete accord.
