Casimi Guitars crafts guitar for Guy Buttery
Guy Buttery has announced a partnership with Casimi Guitars. After 12 months of researching, sketching and shaping a handcrafted tailor-made instrument, Casimi delivered a guitar built exclusively for the musician.
Using old world techniques, the workshop based in Cape Town worked on a very specific instrument to fulfil the needs of the renowned South African fingerstyle guitarist.
Founded in late 2011 by Mathias Roux and Mathew Rice, Casimi Guitars created Guy Buttery’s instrument to be a "sonic canvas and a brush to unlock even deeper layers of possibilities for Guy". They commented further by saying, "We believe in working out of a spirit of collaboration, inspiration and innovation. With this as our guiding principal, we impose no limits on what can be achieved."
Guy Buttery, explains that the customised guitar is totally innovative and achieves a whole new range of tones and sonic possibilities: "Casimi Guitars offers a seamless harmony of forward-thinking technology and handmade perfection. Within seconds, you realise playing these instruments opens a vast world of possibilities. From rich tonal colours, to projection. From meticulous and consistent balance, to impeccable design. Casimi Guitars are an inspired fusion of the old world and the new. For me, all these elements translate into a guitar of ancient future", says the musician.
Buttery is currently working on a new album on which he intends to showcase this guitar to the world.
