Builder Marc Maingard has a wonderful stash of perfect Cedar tops that he got from classical maker Jose Oribe. Knowing this we custom ordered this alluring Florentine cutaway Grand Concert. We requested a wonderful set of Marc's dynamic Brazilian Rosewood and the special fingerboard crafted of bookmatched Brazilian Rosewood with wonderful colors. In fact, the same piece of Brazilian extends from the headstock down the fingerboard in lush harmony. This really is a breathtaking guitar, but you have to play to find it's true beauty. The voice is simply magical. For starters it's very loud and responsive and it is also very clear and balanced, with a powerful bass and articulate and strong trebles. We are thrilled with this custom ordered Maingard.

Player Reviews:
"This one is beyond beautiful in my opinion. It is so tastefully elegant and Marc blended the dramatic Brazilian Headstock and Fingerboard perfectly and it compliments the Cedar top strikingly. The DUAL BEVELS are ultra-comfortable, a Maingard trademark. The voice is truly sublime, you hear every detail on this guitar. The bass is big and warm and the trebles are very loud and responsive, even to a light touch. This is a superb fingerstyle guitar but it also strums with shimmery delight. " - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar is not only beautiful, but it has that characteristic Maingard clarity that sets these guitars aside from the rest. The neck is super comfortable and the combination of Brazilian and Cedar is superb." - Al Petteway
