Canalli CSS

Exotic Beauty, Modern Sound

The Canalli CSS model is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Canalli CS design, blending vintage aesthetics with contemporary performance features. To showcase the beauty of the exotic woods used for the guitar's top, the traditional pickguard has been omitted, allowing the natural grain patterns to shine through. This design choice enhances the instrument's visual appeal, making it a perfect choice for shredders who appreciate both style and substance.

Inspired by the S-style, but with a distinctive Canalli design, featuring an improved access to the upper frets thanks to a strategic cutaway.

Comfort And Playability

A smooth arm rest and a belly cut provide a superior playing experience.

Meticulous Craftmanship

Precision fretwork contributes to the guitar's overall playability and tone.

Spoke Nut Truss Rod

The Canalli CS features a revolutionary spoke wheel truss rod, offering unprecedented control over neck curvature. This innovative design allows for precise adjustments, ensuring optimal playability and tone. With a simple turn of the wheel, you can fine-tune your instrument to perfection, eliminating the need for complex adjustments and specialized tools. This direct access to the truss rod also prevents common issues like stripped screw heads, enhancing the instrument's longevity. By eliminating the traditional headstock cavity, this design has increased the headstock's rigidity, resulting in improved sustain and reduced unwanted vibrations. Additionally, the new truss rod configuration reduces stress on the headstock, minimizing the risk of cracks and extending the instrument's lifespan.
