A superb Maingard Classical guitar with wonderful Cedar top and beautiful dark African Blackwood back and sides. Full, robust tone and great playability. This guitar features many of Marc's signature design elements such as his trademark festive maple rosette and original headstock shape. Marc Maingard's construction is exquisite and make his guitar not only beautiful to behold, but insures they play perfectly. The feel of this guitar surpasses many others. As homage to Bach the headstock inlay reads: SDG meaning Soli Deo Gloria(All Glory to God). Bach started every score he wrote with it.

Player Reviews:
"Marc Maingard is certainly very well known in the guitar world with clients such as David Crosby and Earl Klugh, but you may not be aware of just how fine his Classical guitars are. The feel of the neck and fingerboard are superb, second to none, really accurate and easy to play. This Cedar/African Blackwood guitar has a lively voice with great volume and projection. World class in every way. " - Paul Heumiller
