Structure
A sturdy body with a solid spruce top enriches the sound with clear treble frequencies that unfold perfectly and rapidly thanks to a wafer-thin open-pore finish. The instrument owes the essential depth in the basses to a laminated Macassar ebony body, which also shapes the visual appearance with its coarse structures and inclusions in a very aesthetic way.
Woods and hardware
For high playability, the manufacturer uses a slim nato neck with an ebony fingerboard and a nut width of 47 mm and a scale length of 650 mm for an easy and clean grip. For a clean intonation in all 20 frets, a saddle and a nut made of finest bone material, which are matched to each other with millimetre precision, are used. The Dowina Danubius D12-ds is adorned with elaborate wooden bindings and an eye-catching herringbone soundhole rosette, which is another visual highlight alongside the intial "D" inlaid on the headstock.
I decided to buy this guitar because it is made from the classic wood parts: a solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides, ebony fretboard and bridge. (Rosewood will be very preciouse wood in future.) The guitar from these wood parts, with such quality of workmanship and made in USA would cost 4 times more. Also I looked at the other guitars manufactured by Dowina (Slovakia) on web and also in music shops and I liked design of nearly all of them. I ordered this guitar from Musicstore.com (Germany) even though it is made in my home country (It was cheaper than in our music shops.) Ordering it on Friday afternoon I received it on Tuesday next week – delivery without any problem. Guitar is superb, nice design, great sound, it fulfills all my expectations. The sound is very good also from pickup system.
