We have recently become a Maingard dealer and are anxiously awaiting our first brand new instruments from Marc. But in the meantime we were fortunate to be offered this beauty. After playing it we are even more excited about working with Marc. His voice is so sweet, clear and rich. As a player you are tonally satisfied, not longing for anything else. The build quality is superb and the design is tasteful and understated. This one is crafted from dramatic Brazilian with sapwood and German making it simply breathtaking.

Player Reviews:
"Marc Maingard makes one of the finest acoustic guitars available today. His use of highly figured Brazilian Rosewood separates his guitars from the rest. This is the model that turned Stephen Stills head from his vintage Martin. It has a smaller neck profile than most guitars with a 1 3/4" nut width. The slight "V" shape lets it sit nicely in the hand. The sound is loud and clear with lots of projecting power." - Al Petteway
