Classic Slim
Classic Slim – Subtle Expression in a Modern Form
Classic Slim is a distinctive and highly individual model from my workshop at Kibin Guitars. It is a nylon-string guitar that combines traditional classical construction with a modern, slim body design.
The instrument features a classical neck with traditional dimensions and profile, familiar to classical guitarists, paired with a body depth closer to that of an electric guitar. The result is a sleek, elegant, and exceptionally comfortable instrument with a refined stage presence. Friends jokingly call it the guitar for “How fragile we are” — and in truth, that sense of intimacy and emotional sensitivity was precisely my intention when designing it.
Classic Slim is equipped with the MI-Si Acoustic Trio system featuring an LR Baggspiezo pickup, delivering a natural and faithful amplified tone. The preamp operates without a battery, using a capacitor-based power system instead. Just one minute of charging provides approximately 6–8 hours of playing time, offering a reliable and convenient solution for stage performance.
A discreet service hatch on the back adds a subtle touch inspired by boatbuilding craftsmanship — a gentle fusion of lutherie and maritime aesthetics.
Despite its compact proportions, the guitar delivers a surprisingly full and resonant sound. It performs beautifully even without amplification, maintaining clarity, warmth, and dynamic responsiveness.
Its clean, classic, and easily recognizable design highlights the unique character of the instrument.
Upon request, the guitar can be additionally equipped with strap locks, armrest, custom inlay, and other personalized features tailored to the musician’s needs.
