Dowina is an up and coming acoustic brand from Slovakia, situated in Eastern Europe! This region has been know for it’s violin and other instrument making for centuries! Each acoustic is handmade by a small shop of experience luthiers, one at a time! This first batch has had all the tops hand voiced by the founder of Dowina, Stanislav Petko Marinov!

We were blown away by the big sound this guitar produces! We typically don’t find maple a great sounding tonewood on mid sized guitars (we love it on small body and jumbo guitars!) but this Acero is extremely responsive. It has crisp and loud trebles but the bass and mid are present and not muddied like on some maple guitars. This guitar does fingerstyle and jazz extremely well but is a nice picker that cuts through the mix!

From Dowina’s Website:

The high gloss finish on flamed maple makes the Acero our most luxurious model. The combination of maple and spruce, used in violin making for over 400 years, is acoustically exceptional and in demand, especially by fingerstyle players. If you are looking for a bright and clear ringing sound, the Acero is the right choice.

3 pcs Maple Neck with reinforcement
