Settecorde Fan Fret

The Settecorde is a unique creation by Iulius Guitars, specifically designed for the vibrant and expressive world of Brazilian music. This seven-string guitar takes inspiration from the Seicorde model, sharing its elegant design principles and innovative features, while adding a distinctive twist with its fan-fret design.

Like the Seicorde, the Settecorde boasts an Overhang Neck with the body joining at the 13th fret, and a carefully sculpted nut width, optimized for the added string. The External Tuning Slot system, a hallmark of Iulius Guitars, ensures precise tuning and minimizes wolf notes. The Settecorde is adopting a Fan-fret design; this technical solution, with its gradually increasing scale length across the strings, provides optimal tension and intonation for each string, unlocking new possibilities for chords, voicings, and expressive techniques common in Brazilian music. The bracing system, adapted from the Seicorde’s T-fan scheme, ensures a responsive and dynamic soundboard, capable of handling the complex harmonies and rhythmic drive of Brazilian styles. Whether you’re exploring the intricate melodies of choro, the syncopated rhythms of samba, or the rich harmonies of bossa nova, the Settecorde offers a unique and inspiring voice.

With its captivating blend of tradition and innovation, the Settecorde is a testament to Iulius Guitars’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of acoustic guitar design. It’s an instrument that invites exploration, empowers creativity, and celebrates the rich musical heritage of Brazil.
