B&G Guitars Caletta Koa/Spruce
At first sight the B&G Private Build Caletta acoustic guitar raises a question. Is it an OM? GA? In fact it’s none of these things neither is it any other body shape you’d be familiar with. The Caletta's body shape sits somewhere between the traditional 00 to 000 shapes, designed by B&G as a solution to the lack of bass on smaller bodied guitars yet maintaining the ease of play. This unique body shape, along with the hand-voicing technique applied to the guitar's top and selection of premium woods make the Caletta a truly unique and wonderful instrument. The B&G Private Build Koa/Spruce Caletta is an extremely accurate sounding guitar. It does not deliver heaps of bass and stays pretty clear no matter what you play. That makes it a great candidate for band use and fast playing, where you want each and every mute and tone to be heard. As for playability, the Caletta guitars are comfortable to work with and extremely lightweight. Take into account that these guitars may not fit the player who constantly plays above the 12th fret. These guitars are a great example of the good things that can happen when innovation meets tradition.
