Builder Marc Maingard has a wonderful stash of perfect Cedar tops that he got from classical maker Jose Oribe. We custom ordered this sublime Florentine cutaway Grand Concert and Marc used one of his very finest sets of Brazilian and an extra silky top. We requested the special fingerboard crafted of bookmatched Brazilian Rosewood to add natural drama. The top trim is Birdsfoot and there are DUAL BEVELS. 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.

Player Reviews:
"Awesome! Marc knows how to make a perfect GC, with full bass response and warm, dense trebles that beg you to play. We love the way he makes a guitar shine without using any pearl or abalone, just beautiful woods from head to toe. This guitar looks as rich as it sounds and it plays with ease. Some lucky customer with get the guitar of their Dreams in this one." - Paul Heumiller
"Another wonderful Maingard GC. This one is one of the prettiest I've seen the combination of Brazilian and Cedar gives it a richness that is special." - Al Petteway
