Fenech Guitars
Australian-built acoustic guitars designed for power, clarity and modern performance.
At Colemans Music in South Melbourne we proudly stock one of Australia’s largest selections of Fenech acoustic guitars, including rare Masterbuilt instruments, Custom Shop models and popular production guitars.
Built on the Gold Coast by Aaron Fenech and his team, these guitars combine traditional luthiery with modern acoustic engineering techniques. The result is a guitar that delivers exceptional projection, balance and responsiveness.
For many players looking for a premium Australian acoustic guitar, Fenech offers something genuinely different.
Why Fenech Guitars Are Different
Fenech guitars are designed with a strong focus on acoustic performance and consistency, combining classic craftsmanship with modern building techniques.
Modal Tuning
One of the defining elements of a Fenech guitar is the use of modal tuning.
This process involves carefully shaping and tuning the top and bracing so that the guitar resonates evenly across the frequency spectrum. The result is a guitar that responds quickly, projects clearly and maintains balance across the strings.
Many players immediately notice:
• strong projection
• fast response
• excellent note separation
• consistent tone across the fretboard
Voiced Frequency Range
Fenech guitars are designed to sit well in a mix, whether you're playing solo, recording or performing with a band.
Rather than simply chasing maximum bass or volume, the guitars are voiced to deliver clarity and musical balance, making them suitable for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters and flatpickers alike.
Handcrafted in Australia
Every Fenech guitar is built in Australia by a small team of skilled builders using carefully selected tonewoods.
Australian conditions can be demanding on acoustic guitars, and Fenech instruments are designed with stability and reliability in mind.
Fenech Guitar Tonewoods
Fenech guitars feature a wide range of premium tonewoods chosen for both tonal character and visual beauty.
Common combinations include:
• Sitka Spruce tops for clarity and projection
• Madagascan Rosewood for depth and richness
• Guatemalan Rosewood for powerful low end and complexity
• Ebony fingerboards for smooth feel and articulation
The VTH Series Camphor models also highlight Australian tonewoods, offering a unique tonal character with warmth and projection.
Fenech Masterbuilt & Custom Shop
For players seeking the very best, the Fenech Masterbuilt Series represents the highest level of craftsmanship.
These guitars are individually voiced and built using premium materials and advanced bracing techniques. Models like the D78 Bluegrass deliver exceptional power and dynamic response.
Custom Shop options may include:
• rare tonewoods
• custom inlays such as Triblock designs
• unique finishes inspired by automotive colours
• personalised specifications
These guitars are often built in limited numbers and attract players looking for something truly special.

Fenech Acoustic Guitar Buying Guide
If you're considering a Fenech guitar, it's worth understanding which model may suit your playing style.
For Fingerstyle Players
Look for models with strong note separation and balanced response. The Grand Auditorium body shape is a popular choice for fingerstyle guitarists because it offers clarity without excessive bass.
For Singer-Songwriters
Many singer-songwriters prefer guitars that sit naturally with vocals. Models with a balanced frequency response and strong midrange projection can work particularly well.
For Flatpicking and Bluegrass
Players looking for power and projection often gravitate towards larger body shapes such as dreadnought models, including instruments like the Fenech D78.
These guitars deliver strong volume and dynamic range when played with a pick.
For Players Wanting Something Unique
Fenech guitars are also known for their custom builds and limited Masterbuilt instruments, which can feature rare tonewoods and unique design details.
These guitars appeal to players who want something truly distinctive.
