Description:
"Ulysses" - A journey between two worlds

This guitar is completely handmade by the Italian luthier Luca Nunzio Caira (stage name Nunzio Kairòs), founder of the Kairòs Luthiery brand (Kairòs Lutherie). Luca Nunzio is a visionary luthier who pushes beyond the aesthetic and structural limits of the classical guitar, through continuous experimentation and deep study, which he then translates into articles published monthly on his website.
A guitar of the highest luthiery built entirely by hand, representing the current pinnacle of aesthetic, construction, and architectural experimentation by Luca Nunzio Caira.

Materials of Rare Excellence:
The soundboard is Italian Spruce. The back and sides are made of precious Indian Rosewood, paired with a hand-carved Cedrella neck with a flat D-shaped profile for an optimal biomechanical fulcrum. The instrument is enhanced by a natural oil finish that allows the wood to resonate freely without restrictions.

Technical and Structural Details:
- Bridge: 12-hole, for an optimized string break angle that maximizes energy transfer to the soundboard.
- Frets: Nickel/Silver 18%.
- Nut and Saddle: True bovine bone (Nut 52 mm)
- Hand-carved rosette with all solid woods of the utmost value.
- Resonance of the soundbox: F#.

The Sonic Profile:
"Ulysses" currently holds the prestigious title of being the most powerful and best-performing concert guitar ever to emerge from my workshop. Its fundamental volume is breathtaking, offering explosive and visceral projection that dominatingly fills any room without effort, enveloping both the performer and the audience in a formidable acoustic presence.

The soundbox does not merely amplify the sound: it seemingly annihilates any traditional delay, pushing energy forward with devastating immediacy. The sonic architecture is anchored to an incredibly dense fundamental register; the basses are not merely deep, but possess a viscous, resonant, tangible quality. They exude rare physical warmth in depth and intensity, providing a secure and controlled substrate for every harmonic layer.
