Renowned multi-platinum singer Curtis Stigers experienced pure delight last Saturday evening as he was presented with a Titanic Guitar just ahead of his sold-out performance at the Ulster Hall.
The Titanic Guitar, a creation of Dundonald-based company IBC-Music, embodies the rich tradition of Irish music and guitar craftsmanship. This special gift marked the company’s foray into acoustic guitar manufacturing following their recent triumph of winning the esteemed King’s Award at Buckingham Palace.
Crafted with rosewood back and sides and a European spruce top, the guitar boasts not only exceptional sound but also exquisite Celtic inlay, adding to its aesthetic allure. Stigers, known for hits like ‘You’re All That Matters to Me’ and ‘I Wonder Why,’ was visibly impressed by the instrument’s beauty, exclaiming, “It’s gorgeous, look at that thing!”
