Marc Maingard lives far away in Capetown, South Africa. That is probably why he has developed a unique instrument that is all his own. His style is clearly inspired by his surrounding and his tone by the beauty of his world. He has a love of guitar making that is apparent in our dealings with him and it's easy for us to get excited about his guitars. Every Maingard we play is inspiring and magical.

Player Reviews:
"I am enamored with Marc's work. Maingard guitars are very complete, the full sonic spectrum is present and in balance. I feel I can play any style from my repertoire on this guitar, just anything, rock, blues, rags, celtic. It's happy to go where you point it. The neck shape and setup are superbly comfortable. An easy player for sure. This one is awesome at any price, but this price it's simply amazing." - Paul Heumiller
"This is a strong and beautiful instrument. You hear everything you play, it's very rewarding." - Al Petteway
