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.

A small guitar or a 6-string ukulele?
The guilele (sometimes also called a guitalele or guitarlele), a cross between a classical guitar and a tenor ukulele, is a six-string option perfect for the traveler on the go, the “ukulelist” who wants to explore the guitar, the adventurous guitarist seeking new possibilities, territories, and sound textures, and the child learning to play guitar.

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.
10-strings Brazilian 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 balanced sound, the De Laet viola has exceptional note separation with a fast attack and beautiful harmonic complexity.
