Odette "the Singer"
Introducing the newest member of the NR Strings guitar family — Odette
Inspired by the childhood film The Swan Princess, Odette is a guitar built around elegance, transformation and a little bit of drama.
She has a commanding voice — powerhouse volume with a beautifully balanced tone, sweet singing trebles and big, boisterous bass notes. Refined when she needs to be, but with plenty of Spanish character when she’s demanded .
Odette features a beautiful Huon Pine soundboard that I’ve personally been ageing for over 10 years, paired with Silky Oak sides and a New Guinea Rosewood back.
Her New Guinea Rosewood bridge and fingerboard are hand-carved, complemented by Jarrah trim, a multi-laminated neck and a hand-shaped Jarrah armrest.
Like every NR Strings instrument, Odette has been individually selected, designed and built by hand — no CNC, no production line — just timber, hand tools, patience and a lot of character.
Welcome to the family, Odette.
