This Finnis company is renowned for its innovative approach to guitar construction, merging traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing efficiency. Their primary product, the guitar body construction kit, is celebrated globally for its quality and user-friendly design. They offer standard kits and fully customizable options, including unique molds, routing templates, and special veneer selections. Their kits are perfect for high-end archtop guitars, designed to support scalable production while maintaining exceptional, customizable acoustic properties.
The company is now seeking suppliers for wood and veneer materials for their guitar body construction kits.

Additionally, bookmatching the flamed sycamore/maple sheets is necessary to cover these board dimensions.
