The Fenech VT Pro D78 showcases everything that has made Fenech one of Australia's most respected guitar builders. Combining a premium AAA solid Sitka spruce top with AAA solid Australian Blackwood back and sides, this stunning dreadnought delivers exceptional projection, remarkable note separation and the rich harmonic character that serious players demand.
Built for performers, songwriters and discerning musicians, the D78 pairs traditional tonewoods with boutique-level appointments and professional-grade electronics to create an instrument equally at home on stage, in the studio or in the living room.
Complete with a premium Fenech-branded TKL hardcase, the VT Pro D78 represents Australian guitar making at its finest.
The VT Pro D78 showcases exactly why Australian Blackwood has become one of the most sought-after tonewoods in modern acoustic guitar building.
Many players compare Blackwood to koa, and there are certainly similarities. Both offer excellent note definition, rich harmonics and a lively midrange character. Combined with the AAA Sitka spruce top, however, the D78 gains additional projection, clarity and dynamic range, creating a beautifully balanced instrument that responds equally well to fingerstyle playing and aggressive strumming.
What stands out most is the note separation. Large open chords remain articulate and focused, while single-note lines retain impressive clarity and sustain. Singer-songwriters in particular will appreciate how well the guitar sits beneath a vocal without becoming muddy or overpowering.
The build quality is equally impressive. The ultra-thin natural satin finish allows the timber to breathe and resonate, while premium appointments such as the ebony fingerboard, Gotoh machine heads and LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system reinforce the boutique feel throughout.
We've played a lot of premium acoustics over the years, and the D78 comfortably holds its own against instruments from much larger international brands. The difference is that this guitar offers something uniquely Australian, beautiful Blackwood, exceptional craftsmanship and a voice that's both powerful and refined.
