Hi, I am Jakob, the creator of the Canna Guitar.
A truly unique and innovative guitar that is made to inspire you, so you can do the same for your audience.
Made to inspire
The ‘Canna Guitar’ is my approach to create beautiful and avant-garde guitars that bring joy to look at and to make music with.
The Canna guitar will make you stand out so you can captivate and entertain your audience like never before.
The biggest reward for me is to see great artists using my work to make true art.
With a body made of Hemp
Hempstone: A fascinating material that consists purely out of natural hemp fibers and water.
The Hempstone body offers a compact and comfortable playing experience while creating a rich and masterful sound.
Designing a better sound
In order to create the best sound possible, the Canna guitar was redesigned with a first principal mindset.
The innovative double-top construction is creating a much more flexible and lighter top which is giving unprecedented volume, sustain and attack while having a strong base and beautiful overtones.
The round Hempstone body reflects the sound-waves created by the top more efficiently creating more lively volume compared to a square one.
The Sonowood Series
These guitars feature a unique and patented ‘sonoveneer‘ top.
Giving you those stunning designs with a warm and beautiful balanced sound while being
exceptionally durable and scratch-resistant.
The Pure Series
The following designs captivate with their clean and contemporary design.
The narrow selection of local tonewoods and contemporary colours giving you the puristic aesthetics with the most powerful sound.
custom builds
You want a Fanfret with a Humbucker and golden frets?
No problem! I am always eager to push the boundaries and get creative with the customer.
CannaBass
The CannaBass brings the look, feel and sound of the CannaGuitar to the bassworld.
For those who want to explore the possibilities of an acoustic bass while having the feeling and playability of an electric.
CannaCaster
This is CannaCaster model is made with a hempstone covered body. The same material I use for my acoustics.
The idea behind the T-style layout is, so that you could just get the body from me and build your own custom CannaCaster!
CannaCaster
This soprano Ukulele is also made with a Hempstone body which makes it also very comfortable to play and allows for a very good access of the higher registers.
