The Kealakai Center & Pacific String Museum is honored to present this incredibly rare guitar, a one of a kind custom archtop built by legendary luthier John Monteleone.

The "Moderna" was commissioned and created during the pandemic, inspired as a tribute to contemporary modern Italian design. Simple, clean, understated elegance is evident throughout, inviting the player to imagine the story behind this stunning work of art.

Featuring master grade Italian Spruce and Italian Red Maple, finished in a light transparent sunburst reminiscent of a cappuccino (with a touch of cinnamon) revealing a radiance and luminosity in the woods personality found only in the finest examples of the luthiers craft.


With custom Monteleone hard case.
