Browsing Composite Acoustics

Composite Acoustics guitars are the brainchild of a proverbial rocket scientist: a former aerospace engineer and guitar aficionado with a vision and a lot of experience with composites. They are built almost entirely using carbon fiber and are impervious to temperature and humidity changes. Composite Acoustic guitars are lighter, stronger and more comfortable as a result. The soundboards are extremely responsive, making for a very clear and powerful guitar. Each guitar is hand-crafted, yet employs computer guidance to control precise tolerances from design to assembly. They are built without truss-rods, because you will never need to make a neck adjustment! Artisan Guitars are proud to represent this fine line of carbon fiber guitars… browse our inventory below.

Composite Acoustics GX Prototype Carbon Burst High Gloss

Composite Acoustics GX Prototype Carbon Burst High Gloss

IN STOCK NOW!!! The GX is CA's most popular and versatile model, and it's no wonder! The grand auditorium sized cut-away provides fuller bass response than the slimmer X Model, while providing easy access to upper frets with its no-heel neck joint. The GX is braced with their performance tuned lightweight carbon fiber bracing for an extremely well-balanced volume on every note. The GX provides a very quick and clean response - excellent for chord strumming and flat picking. The comfortable double-cut sculpted back will make you think this guitar was made just for you, and it was!

Composite Acoustics, being made almost entirely of Carbon Fiber, are impervious to changes in temperature and humidity. In fact, at the Winter NAMM show, 2 CA guitars were on display beneath running waterfalls, to demonstrate that water will do nothing to these guitars.  Finally, there are guitars that not only sound incredible, but can be left in a cold car overnight, or even out in the hot sun at a festival.   Forget humidification, you simply don't need it with a Composite Acoustic!  The neck will never bow... there isn't even a truss rod to adjust, since there will NEVER be a need to.

This Composite Acoustic GX is a Prototype from Peavey. It is outfitted with the LR Baggs iMix system however it only has 1 pickup.

2000s Composite Acoustics X Carbon Burst High Gloss L.R. Baggs iMix

2000s Composite Acoustics X Carbon Burst High Gloss L.R. Baggs iMix

We were saddened when the original Composite Acoustic company, based in Lafayette, LA closed it's doors. However, when the news that Peavey  had taken over came out, it made a good thing even better!While Peavey is currently producing instruments, this is an original instrument from the original company.

The X is a thin bodied, lightweight, comfortable full scale guitar with amazing power and tone. Ideal for electric guitar players looking to crossover into the acoustic world, the X is fitted with an L.R Baggs iMix pickup system; giving you complete control of your tone. The X is braced with Composite Acoustics' optimized performance tuned lightweight carbon fiber bracing for a quick and clean response - excellent for chord strumming and flat picking both.

Composite Acoustics, being made almost entirely of Carbon Fiber, are impervious to changes in temperature and humidity. In fact, at the Winter NAMM show, 2 CA guitars were on display beneath running waterfalls, to demonstrate that water will do nothing to these guitars. Finally, there are guitars that not only sound incredible, but can be left in a cold car overnight, or even out in the hot sun at a festival. Forget humidification, you simply don't need it with a Composite Acoustic! The neck will never bow... there isn't even a truss rod to adjust, since there will NEVER be a need to.

While we cannot be sure of the build date of this instrument, it is in excellent condition. With only few minor scratches to the pick-guard, top, back and headstock, none of the scratches are through the finish and can be seen in the images below, this instrument is close to factory new. Original Hardshell Case Included.
