Vanda Premium RT

Overview

Singapore’s Premier Handmade All-Solid Instrument

Named after Singapore’s national flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim, Vanda Guitars represents resilience, refinement, and national pride.

Vanda is a premium Singapore brand dedicated to crafting exceptional, fully solid acoustic instruments using only the finest tonewoods and advanced luthiery expertise. Each guitar is conceived through in-house research and developed in close collaboration with renowned European master builders and instrument historians.

Our philosophy is simple:
Build instruments that rival the world’s finest — without compromise.

Crafted in the Heart of Europe

Every Vanda guitar is handcrafted in Central Europe by a family of luthiers with more than five decades of instrument-building experience.

Located near the Alpine regions — where legendary violins such as the Stradivarius were born — our luthiers began their journey crafting fine violins. Through years of studying what makes an instrument truly sing, they refined their tonal understanding of:

• Bracing architecture

• Soundboard responsiveness

• Structural balance

• Sustain and projection

• Durability without tonal compromise

This deep violin-making heritage brings a rare sensitivity and refinement to every Vanda guitar.

Traditional craftsmanship is seamlessly combined with modern precision technology to achieve immaculate construction and flawless finishing.

Tonewood Mastery: Science Meets Tradition

At the heart of every Vanda guitar is wood that has been carefully selected, aged, and prepared for optimal tonal performance and long-term stability.

We maintain our own hand-selected cache of premium tonewoods, preserved through:

Natural Air Seasoning

Slow, controlled drying minimizes cellular stress within the wood. This results in:

• Superior stiffness-to-weight ratios

• Greater structural stability

• Enhanced resonance and sustain

• Long-term reliability in humid climates

Torrefaction (Advanced Thermal Enhancement)

For selected models, torrefied tonewoods are used to replicate the tonal maturity of aged vintage instruments. This process:

• Increases responsiveness

• Improves dynamic range

• Produces a warm, broken-in tonal character

• Enhances stability against environmental changes

This Model comes with :

• Solid Swiss Moon Spruce Top (Torified)

• Solid Indian Rosewood Back & Sides

Each piece is chosen not only for visual beauty but for acoustic integrity.
