Yossi Sassi and his Bouzoukitara
ONE BODY, TWO SOULS - MANY SOUNDS
In 2011, Sassi decided to plan an instrument that would later become an "embodiment of his musical journey". What first began as seeking an efficient way to switch between the acoustic Greek Bouzouki to the electric guitar gave birth to the "Bouzoukitara" - a unique instrument that combines a traditional acoustic Bouzouki with an electric solid-body guitar.
Together with Luthier Bejamin Millar Sassi was able to transform his design into reality.
The double-neck instrument has a shared surface, so when one guitar is played it resonates to the open strings of the other guitar, thus it allows to produce some unique sound layers, for example when playing the Electric guitar while recording the Bouzouki going through a Pre-amp or overdrive, capturing the sympathetic harmonies & over-tones it generates.
East & west, acoustic & electric, rock & folk, fused together.
