2013 Zoran Kuvač SP/MP

A 2013 classical guitar by Zoran Kuvač, with a spruce top and quilted maple back and sides.

A Flat, Friederich-Style Neck

Inside, the guitar follows Daniel Friederich, and so does the neck: very flat, D-shaped, steadying the left hand when shifting.

Bold and Elegant

Quilted maple for the back and sides, flamed maple for the neck, head veneer and inner rosette bands, and a subtle, thin herringbone in the purfling and rosette make it bold yet elegant. The sound is thick and fat with brilliant clarity, and huge for a maple guitar.

Zoran Kuvač: Guitar Maker in Banja Luka

Zoran Kuvač builds classical guitars in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the war took him to Serbia in 1993, he learned his craft from the tamburica maker Duško Rajković in Sremska Mitrovica, and he opened his own workshop in 1998. He has twice taken part in the master classes of José Luis Romanillos and has built more than 300 instruments.

Spanish Roots, French Influences

Zoran began in the Spanish tradition of Torres and Romanillos, and many of his guitars follow the French school of Daniel Friederich and Dominique Field, always with his own aesthetic. Every part is made by hand except the tuners. Zoran Dukić and Edin Karamazov have played his guitars, and GSI is his exclusive dealer in the USA.
