2021 TreeHouse Ember

This stunning instrument was built in Ontario, Canada by the exceedingly skilled and well respected luthier Zach Lefebvre. Zach's highly creative deigns push the boundaries of aesthetic beauty and tonal refinement resulting in maximal visual and sonic fulfillment. 

This wonderful Ember model exemplifies Zach's approach in it's striking looks and impressive resonance. The comfortable 16" birdseye maple body is fitted with a carved spruce top, a cantilevered maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard with brass frets. The headstock features a rosewood veneer and the binding and bridge are ebony. The top and back are embellished with an attractive vine motif. Hardware includes a hammered bronze tailpiece, floating humbucking pickup, and a set of Gotoh 510 tuners. The upper bass bout includes a soundport which provides more accurate monitoring for the player.

This instrument's fascinating exterior is only matched by it's unique internal design. The top is supported by a sophisticated X based bracing which includes numerous additional tone bars for maximal sonic refinement. Additionally, there are two beautifully carved free floating braces that connect the end block to the tail block. This innovation was likely inspired by the famous Larson Brothers design which employed metal rods for a similar purpose.

This instrument produces a lush, full acoustic tone that has warmth and depth for delicate chord melody playing while also possessing the strong single note projection one needs for acoustic lead playing. It's so rare to find an acoustic archtop of any era that can achieve this, especially newer builds which are largely constructed with idea that some sort of amplification will be used. This is a purely acoustic instrument through and through, but when on stage the lush sounding humbucker will allow you to get the volume you require.
