Hervé Bérardet - OSIRIS - Voyageuse - SharkyTone Verified listing

We started out with a 2-piece Osiris to create a concert guitar that would be easy to transport for guitarists playing on the international scene. In fact, we are often asked for both the demands of lutherie AND the ease of transport to play it anywhere. For the shape, we again took our inspiration from a Gretsch in a smaller, Duojet-style size; the format of a Solidbody but in semi-hollow!

That said, we've added several new features to this Osiris “SharkyTone”:

The use of a multi-ply body made in-house from “Old Stock” veneers;
A smaller Gretsch “Duojet” format in semi-hollow;
Old Stock” aluminum fillets for an attractive chrome finish;
Teal Green” metallic lacquer to shine on stage.

Specs 2 parts :
Multi-ply quarter-cutaway made in-house

Right-handed model: although Double Cutaway, the potentiometers are right-handed.

Dimensions: the body measures 441 mm h X 336 mm w (instead of 459 mm h X 380 mm w), to get closer to a Solidbody DuoJet.

Chrome fittings: “Old Stock” aluminum pickguard, Duesenberg tailpiece, Tunomatic Tonepro

Sustainability and recycling
In the spirit of sustainability, our choice of 1/4-body or “semi-hollow” guitars responds to the need to use as little wood as possible.

This time, we decided to make a multi-ply guitar using veneers from our old stock: to recycle, but also to offer a more affordable price than local solid wood. It's also sturdier, making it easier to use on stage without fear of damaging the wood.

We always call on craftsmen like ourselves for the custom-made microphones and luggage made by Luxbag in Loir-et-Cher, a Living Heritage company.
