This Guitar’s story:

This fine instrument is my guitar Serial Number 002 . 
It is product of more than two years of research and study of traditional guitar making. One word can 
describe sound, look and quality of this product,  that is ‘SUCCESS’! It is constructed using traditionally 
most efficient design developed by finest guitar makers around the world. This includes 
carved “X” bracing of sound board to give ridged, light weight structure that will provide most effective
 transfer of string vibration to the tone wood . High quality wood used is responsible for beauty of the 
tone that this guitar produce. All materials and method of assembly are picked to provide long life and 
stability of the instrument. All gluing and assembling was conducted in temperature and humidity 
controlled environment. Neck was carved out of single solid peace of mahogany with inbuilt two way
 truss rod for stability and easy adjustments and setup. High gloss finish was achieved by high labour 
intensive ‘French Polish’ using Shellac as traditional and natural wood finish. This method was chosen
 as it creates thinnest layer of finish coverage to prevent any sound lose in the tone wood but in same 
time provide high gloss look.

Intruduction


Hi there,

I'd like to introduce myself to the acoustic guitar world, to all of you who love to play and who love to listen  the sound of fine, handcrafted, acoustic guitars. My name is Shoma Subotic, I'm from Melbourne and I make acoustic guitars under the name 'Shoma Acoustics'.
Before I bent the wood of my first guitar I did my homework. For three years I've been studying and researching the best combination of materials and best way to produce this beautiful instrument. That's the reason why this story is a success from the start. When I was building my first instrument, I felt like I've been doing it for whole my life. The feedback I had gotten was fantastic. This is one of the reviews that can be found on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeyrPyyMl2M . 
My goal was not to introduce something new to the world, I've just wanted to find the 'sweet spot'. The combination of existing engineering and materials to get top end acoustic instrument. I'm not compromising the quality of sound and construction for the price. All materials and hardware built in to my guitars are top quality.
For now, all my jigs and tools are set to build Dreadnought models, manly based on Martin specifications, however, the OOO model will be my next project, as I recently received an order. 

My plan is to sell my guitars through the music shop in Melbourne ( Already have a deal. Consignment contract will be signed this month, and I will post it when deal is finalised), as well as direct orders. 

So, thanks for visiting and stay tuned.
