about cosmophonic guitars

every element of the cosmophonic kavari’s design is focused on performance. The perimeter grill balances acoustic tone and mitigates the boxiness semihollow body guitars can get.

the fluorescent spectraview knobs allow for a quick read of your tone and volume settings by shifting from numbers to an intuitive color spectrum that mirrors the audio spectrum: blue for cold/low and hot pink for hot.

the bolts that hold the top mounted les trem tremolo in place also compress the front, core and back shells together, saving weight and making disassembly easy (you could do it blindfolded in less than 2 minutes).

the slidelock strap system makes strap button failure (and broken necks) a thing of the past.

even the overall design is performance oriented. it is somehow retro and futuristic. fresh and familiar. which means you won’t have the weight of legacy instruments and legacy guitarists casting a shadow over your expression.

this is a guitar built for you.

so you can play your music - and create your own legacy.
