Lightness – For excellent playing and wearing comfort.

The weight of a guitar is a factor that many guitarists, including a prominent one recently interviewed, consider to be important. While it may not have been a significant consideration for him in his younger years, it now plays a big role in his guitar selection process. One of the most apparent advantages of a lighter guitar is the increased comfort during longer sessions, as it allows the back and shoulders to relax. However, there are also tonal benefits that can result from a lighter weight.

The vibration characteristics of a lighter object are different from those of a heavier object. A lighter guitar will vibrate more quickly and in a different way, which can result in advantages in tonal response and sound spectrum. This is something to consider when choosing a guitar.

The Capricorn guitar Nr 2 has an extremely low weight, only 2,314 grams. This was achieved through several factors, including the overall length of the guitar, which is approximately 120 millimeters less than a conventional guitar due to the headless design concept. This design not only contributes to the weight reduction but also to the handling during sessions and transport.

Another contributing factor is the semi-acoustic concept of the Capricorn, which utilizes lighter woods in its construction. Finally, the truss rod made of titanium also plays a role in reducing the weight while maintaining the necessary strength and precision for its function.

In summary, while the weight of a guitar may not be a significant factor for some guitarists, it can play a big role in others‘ selection process. The Capricorn guitar sets a new record for low weight through a combination of design concepts and materials, including the headless design, semi-acoustic construction, and titanium truss rod. These factors not only contribute to the guitar’s weight reduction but also to its handling, tonal response, and sound spectrum.
