In The Workshop -
Each André instrument is unique. Beyond its serial number, each has a name. Every detail counts, especially when dealing with touch, sound, and responsiveness.
Hollow-body guitars
André's electric guitars are thought out in terms of acoustic engineering, before any amplification factor comes into play.
Kouai (below) has a balanced mass and great sustain.
It offers the -airy- qualities expected of a hollowbody guitar.

A guitar such as Kouai has great unplugged qualities that one can hear from it when being amplified and well recorded.
