Original Design for Great Performances
De Laet Julie is a very special guitar: unmistakable traits, while still remembering its references.
Developed by Miguel De Laet, it has as main feature the original De Laet design inspired by the classic Florentine cutway for greater access to the treble positions of the fretboard.
The Julie Spicy has precise tuning, powerful sustain and unparalleled versatility. Due to its switching system consisting of a 3-position switch, two mini-switches and two Push-Bottom potentiometers associated with the Seymour Duncan P-Rails pickups, our Julie Spicy is able to offer 24 tone combinations.
Let´s Play, Folks!
Let´s Guitar it up!
In 2016 to please fans of traditional models without overlooking the brand's innovative vocation, Miguel De Laet decided to rethink some elements of the original 1954 design, incorporating a few features of the original De Laet guitars, such as the design of the joint of the neck with the body that provides greater comfort - and facilitates access of the musician in the treble region of the fretboard - the adoption of radius 12", and the compensation system in the fretboard for a more accurate tuning.
In addition, the system of controls and switching of the traditional model was rethought, following the suggestions of many musicians who participated of the project in social networks, making the guitar even more versatile.
Anyway, Stacy Ltd is our tribute to a historical instrument through a collaboratively designed project.

Modern Triple-O Acoustic Guitar
The Triple-O is absolutly the Perfect All-Purpose guitars.
These instruments fit in with any music style and has a great size for all kind players. The slightly longer scale length of the traditional Triple-O itself a bit mor bark and bite.
If you like bending your blue notes, then a Triple-O might be the ticket. If you flatpick and fingerpick, like to play fingerstyle, do solo and ensemble gigs, worship music, as well as being on the quest for perferct volume, tone and size, then look no further!
In De Laet Workshop we developed a hybrid X structure, which we call "XM", adding more balance and definition to our Triple-O.
Brazilian 10-strings Guitar
Viola Brasileira or Viola Caipira is a Brazilian ten-string guitar with five courses of strings arranged in pairs. It was introduced in the state of São Paulo, where it is widely played as the basis for the música caipira, a type of folk-country music originating in the caipira country of south-central Brazil. It has its origins in Portuguese violas. Violas are direct descendants of the Latin guitar, which, in turn, has an Arabic-Persian origin derived from instruments such as the lute.
With a sound that belies its small size, the De Laet Viola Brasileira has exceptional note separation with a quick attack and beautiful harmonic complexity. The smaller body dimension and short 23 1/5" scale also imparts a percussive quality to the note attack that makes this an exceptional finger style and recording guitar.
