Australian-Made Round Shoulder Dreadnought. Handcrafted on the Gold Coast.
The Fenech Supreme Series D78 showcases the very best of Australian acoustic guitar building.
Handcrafted on the Gold Coast by Fenech's experienced team of luthiers, the Supreme Series combines premium tonewoods, individual hand voicing and meticulous attention to detail to create an instrument that feels responsive, expressive and inspiring from the very first note.
Inspired by one of the most iconic acoustic body shapes ever produced, the D78 combines the power and warmth of a round shoulder dreadnought with the precision and craftsmanship of a modern Australian boutique guitar.
Finished in a beautiful Suede Brown stain, the D78 highlights the natural character of the timber while maintaining a timeless, understated aesthetic. Every guitar is unique, with subtle variations in grain and colour that reflect its handcrafted nature.
The Classic Dreadnought Voice
The D78 features a round shoulder dreadnought body shape, delivering the powerful low end, strong projection and rich warmth that have made this design a favourite of singer-songwriters for generations.
Compared to smaller-bodied acoustics, the D78 offers greater headroom and a fuller voice, making it particularly rewarding for strummers, vocal accompaniment and players who want a guitar that fills a room with ease.
The round shoulder design adds warmth and balance to the traditional dreadnought formula, producing a sound that remains articulate and responsive whether played softly at home or driven hard with a pick on stage.
Rich, Open and Exceptionally Responsive
A solid spruce soundboard is paired with solid genuine mahogany back and sides, creating a voice that is warm, balanced and remarkably dynamic.
The combination delivers strong projection, excellent note separation and plenty of headroom, making the D78 equally at home accompanying vocals, recording in the studio or leading an acoustic ensemble.
Each instrument is individually voiced by Fenech's luthiers to maximise balance, sustain and responsiveness, helping every note ring clearly across the fingerboard.

Solid spruce soundboard

Ready for the Stage and Studio
The LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system delivers a natural amplified sound that faithfully captures the character of the guitar.
Whether you're playing through a PA, acoustic amplifier or recording interface, the D78 provides the clarity and reliability professional musicians demand.
Combined with the included TKL moulded case, this is an instrument built to travel, perform and inspire for years to come.
Why We Love It
There are fewer and fewer genuinely hand-built acoustic guitars being produced in Australia.
The Fenech Supreme Series stands apart because it is built in small numbers by a dedicated team focused on tone, feel and craftsmanship rather than mass production.
For players looking for a premium Australian-made acoustic with the warmth and projection of a classic round shoulder dreadnought, the D78 is an instrument that deserves serious consideration.
