Solid Timbers: McIlroy uses only solid timbers throughout the construction of every instrument.

Soundboards: All soundboards come from split logs, giving them extra strength and tone.

Soundboard bracing: All bracing also comes from split logs for the same reason as above. McIlroy's unique bracing pattern gives strength to the soundboard and allows him to construct a thinner more vibrant top. Every top is individually voiced to give the best response with the maximum strength.

Inlays: A, AS, AJ and (n) Ranges have abalone and solid wood rosettes. All have solid wood bindings and purflings. (All materials are subject to availability and may change).

The Neck: Every neck is constructed form five pieces of solid timber. These timbers vary from model to model, for example, the A30 acoustic guitar would have two pieces of mahogany with two sycamore laminates and a rosewood centre laminate. This give the necks added strength and stability. They have solid ebony fingerboards and are bound with various woods. All the necks are jointed to the body via a dovetail joint, expertly fitted by hand to each instrument. The necks are also fitted with an integral two way truss rod.

Finish: One of McIlroy's most important features is the finish we apply to each instrument. Over the last twelve years McIlroy has found that a heavy build of lacquer stifles the potential sound of the instrument. That's why McIlroy painstakingly build up each of the 12 coats of lacquer thinly until the final finish is achieved (almost like French Polish, but with cellulose lacquer). He does not use a grain filler as he feels this changes the true natural colour of the wood. McIlroy strongly believes that a wooden instrument should look and feel like a wooden instrument (not plastic) and that's why he creates a finish which brings out the beauty of the wood.
