We asked Marc for something a little different and created this amazing instrument for us. This guitar commands attention with it's bookmatched Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard and Brazilian Bridge. The body is crafted of the most striking set of Brazilian Rosewood with dramatic sapwood in the center and rich, reddish-brown hues and embellished with armrest and ribrest bevels. There's also a custom striped heelcap. It is indeed striking, but in a very natural way that let's the beauty of the wood speak. The tone is all Maingard.

For fingerstyle, strumming, flatpicking, lead work or accompaniament, this guitar sound amazing. This instrument features:

Player Reviews:
"It's know wonder Marc's guitar have become a favorite of our customers. They offer so much versatility, exquisite craftsmenship and Marc's stylish beauty. Marc has built guitars for players such as Steven Stills and Earl Klugh and once you hear a Maingard you know why top artist would choose one. For this guitar we asked Marc for custom work to make it special but with wood instead of inlay. The result is beyond our expectations, the moment we open the case we were in love. This is a captivating guitar from head to toe and it sounds as good as it looks. The fingerboard is bookmatched Brazilian and there are armrest and ribrest bevel for the ultimate in comfort, and that's a good thing because you won't want to put this one down!" - Paul Heumiller
"This is one of my favorite guitar builders. His guitars are always gorgeous and sound perfectly balanced. This one is no exception. The bookmatched fingerboard matches the bookmatched headplate making it seem like one continuous piece of Brazilian rosewood. The simple herringbone trim gives it a nice classic feel." - Al Petteway
