Speechless...
This guitar has lived in my mind for over 20 years. Now it's in my hands.
Aaron Fenech and the team @fenechguitars have not only brought that dream to life - they've far exceeded it. The moment I first held it, I knew this was something truly special.
Every detail, from the Madagascan rosewood and lutz spruce combo to the balance, clarity, and sustain it all speaks of master
craftsmanship and deep understanding of what I needed a guitar to feel and play like.
Aaron's commitment to crafting instruments that reflect the individuality of each player is something rare. My guitar isn't just beautifully built-it feels alive. Responsive, rich, and full of nuance, it invites you to play better, listen deeper, and feel more. Aaron's communication throughout the build was impeccable and I could feel his passion for the project at each step.
To the team at Fenech: thank you for creating an instrument that isn't just part of my rig - it's part of my story now.
If ever considering a custom build or want a guitar that inspires you every time you pick it up, you won't find better than Fenech Guitars. I spent 25 years looking.

Fenech Guitars are truly incredible. While searching for a new acoustic guitar at a local music shop, the sales assistant introduced me to Fenech Guitars and shared their commitment to using high-quality woods and crafting only around 200 guitars annually — prioritising quality over quantity.
After trying their instruments, I was immediately captivated. Despite testing 15 to 20 other acoustics in the store, I consistently found myself returning to the Fenech guitars. What’s even more impressive is that these exceptional guitars are made locally here on the Gold Coast.
I highly recommend anyone in the market for an acoustic guitar to give Fenech Guitars a try — they are truly a game changer.

Absolutely love these guitars! Amazing guitars! Amazing customer service! First class craftsmanship!! Thank you Aaron and Rob!!
Thank you so much for my beautiful mahogany auditorium (Her name is Mathilde).
I couldn't be happier.
It was great to go on our guitar quest in Melbourne and visit all 3 stockists of Fenech. At A and B Music there were 2 mahogany auditoriums and we were stunned by what difference the sound between the 2 instruments. It was so hard to choose because they both sounded good in different ways.
Thanks again, Aaron - for the instrument and for guiding us on our Melbourne quest - and thank you to the Fenech company, you make beautiful instruments and you have some great retailers out there selling them well.

Had a Maton for years then a couple of Taylor's, was never truly happy with them even though they were good guitars. Ended up buying a Fenech VTPro Rosewood dreadnought and it's the best guitar I've ever played. Also affordable considering the work and attention to detail that goes in to them
My first review ever..!!
(Unpaid, not requested )
Figured id share my experience.
I Have been on a quest to replace a very old worn out guitar, a guitar I new very well.
I've purchased enough high end guitars of late , however I still could not find an instrument I felt 100% happy with.
Something was never quite right
That Was until I came across Aaron Fenechs Mastery in his guitar building.
2 words, ....
"Simply Stunning"
( SS is the name I've given it)
Funny, you know when you hear a real good guitar player play a riff or a Lil lick or whatnot, I get to thinking...
"wow that guy really knows his instrument."
That said, Aaron sir your instrument felt exactly like that to me...as if I've actually had it for a long time ,which showcases the very fast ,easy & fluent playing, which is king, when making for a confident guitar playing session.
The cutaway is a perfect profile.
The sound,Sustain, & clarity of its trebles are so perfect & in tune and bright, I'd need a thesaurus to find proper words.
Aaron you are indeed a master in your craft.
I'm so very proud to have this fella in my Quiver .
Rick.

Bought an acoustic here 4 years ago. Played so many gigs and done recordings with it. Great guitar and Aaron the master builder knows his shiz. Premium guitars.
I've only played two in a shop today at A and B Music in Geelong and wow just wow.
Destroys...the competition.
Nick knew exactly my needs after I tried a really good Epi and explained my goals..that it was, close but not perfect, and I explained what Guitar I desired and why.
Plays so easy and I could get a Page like Strum as well as get the Blind Blake and Skip James kinds of sounds while easily shredding a few blues licks...
I mean as in it felt halfway between an Electric Guitar and Acoustic for playabilty.
These are a new Guitar paradigm, and I will get the Delta Blues Model.
Magnificent and in one minute I knew I'm selling a guitar or two to get one...and it will be as long term as my 92 PRS Custom with the Birds.
Wow.

World class instruments!!!
Aaron and his team pulled off a beauty😍
The attention to detail shines through if you get a chance to play a beautiful Fenech guitar. It was really love at first strum when trying to find a forever guitar.
I compared to some other great guitars in Taylor, Martin, Furch, Gibson, Maton, Cole Clark to name a few, and was a clear winner for me.
It ticked all the boxes in a big way!
The sound, look and feel excelled across all models when trying to hone in for the perfect fit.
This was a hard decision as all the Fenech’s sounded so good!
It became clear I’ll need to purchase another in the future😂
But for now, I decided a vth auditorium was for me and couldn’t be happier.
Aaron was super helpful throughout the process. He was was very informative in selecting tone woods and provided some great additional options with finishes and tuners.
I feel like I have a truly unique, gorgeous guitar to treasure in my collection now.
Thank you team Fenech🙏🏻
Keep up the great work🎸🤘🏻😇

I recently purchased a masterbuilt Fenech Grand Audotorium with Gaboon Ebony from mall music. I am a guitar collector and have am fortunate to own a number of high end guitars. This guitar rivals any guitar in my collection for finish, and build quality. As far as tone is concerned I now have no need for my Maton, Gibson, Taylor, and Cole Clarke Accoustics as the Fenech is incredible. I’ve never heard a voice on an Accoustic guitar quite like it. It’s a scooped sound with detailed treble, smooth low end, and sustain. Love it, well done Aaron!!!
