FAQ

Q: What does "Sali Guitars" mean? Sali Guitars means Tradition, Hand Making, Precision and Scientific Approach which all together reflect in the attractive appearance and beautiful sound of our instruments.   Q: Is there only one model of Sali guitars? No. We produce 4 different models of guitars. Three of them are classical concert guitars and one is 6-string acoustical bass (double bass guitar).   Q: What is the difference between the three classical concert guitars?

• Sali Classic and Sali Snow White (back, sides and neck are made of flamed maple) are very similar instruments, there is only a difference in physical appearance and in tone color which is "darker" for Sali Snow White in comparison to Sali Classic. Sali Fantasy has larger dynamics and loudness in comparison to both these models and is therefore sorted among high-end concert guitars. We succeeded to make a variant of Sali Fantasy which is named Sali Fantasy - Gold. Due to special elements integrated into the sound board the sustain and loudness of this guitar is evidently increased.
   

Q: Why are Sali Fantasy and its variant Sali Fantasy - Gold so special?

• In this particular model of Sali guitars the weight of the sound board and bridge is reduced to highest possible limit. This enables large vibrations in all frequency ranges and consequently in a loud instrument with extremely high response.
   

Q: Is there any danger that Sali Fantasy's sound board will break under string load due to its light structure ?

• No. Because of well considered design this model of a guitar behaves ideally in terms of sound board deformations due to string tension.
   

Q: How do you finish your guitars?

• Sali guitars are finished with shellac which contains natural substances only. We leave the wood pores in hardwoods open in order to minimize sound losses whilst our sound boards have a glossy appearance.
   

Q: Which type of strings do you recommend for your concert guitars?

• It is a matter of taste. However both Sali Fantasy and Sali Fantasy - Gold with nylon strings sing beautifully.
   

Q: How do your guitars behave under the hand, what is their playability?

• Our fingerboards on all guitars are designed and worked with engineering precision. Therefore string action is low at all frets. Consequently the playability and string buzzing are perfectly optimized.
   

Q: Why would one possess Sali Bass, your acoustical bass guitar?

• This guitar is an excellent supplement for guitar orchestras and another ensembles. Sali Bass is designed to add important and exciting bass support in any kind of music genre.
   

Q: Do you offer any warranty for your guitars?

• Yes. There is usual warranty within first three years for all defects which are without any doubt our responsibility. See more about this in Warranty. For additional fee of 100 € we can build-in air humidity/temperature meter into the guitar body. If the data stored in this meter are in agreement with our recommended conditions then the warranty is valid also for all deformations of the neck, fingerboard, sides, back and sound board with bridge.
   

Q: I live far away from your place. What should I do in case that I need your service ?

• Please bear in mind that your local guitar maker is able to fix all necessary adjustments and repairs of your Sali guitar. In case that you do not like this option, you can send us your guitar if it is professionally packed to our contact address. If it is about interval repairs (re-fretting, etc.) then you should cover all cost for shipping and repair itself. If it is about repairs under the warranty then we cover shipping costs back to you and costs for a repair itself, of course.
   

Q: How should I take care of my Sali guitar?

• No particular care is needed for Sali guitars. However this does not mean that negligence is allowed; it is important to hold the guitar most of the time in environment with relative air humidity not less than 40% and temperature not more than 35°C. See more.
