Origin

Workshop knowledge since 1986

The Turkowiak workshop has been building and studying guitars since 1986. NOVA takes that knowledge into a clearer, modern range of nylon and steel instruments.

  • Created in Poland
  • Turkowiak family workshop
  • Research-led guitar design

Value

Luthier-level thinking at a more accessible price

NOVA sits near the lowest practical price level for serious luthier-built guitars and close to some expensive factory guitars, while aiming for sound and comfort associated with much more expensive handmade instruments.

  • Strong price-to-quality route
  • Modern handmade construction
  • Comfort and response first

Sound

Technology that serves the note

Double-top soundboards, offset soundholes, A.R.S. back-and-side research, and Impedance Bridge ideas are used because they help the player hear, feel, and control the instrument more easily.

  • Quicker response
  • Clearer projection
  • Player-first comfort
