2008 McGill Guitars MKS 12-fret Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar

This wonderous beast was custom built by Paul McGill using scrumptious Cocobolo Rosewood and some 40 year old German Spruce that Paul got from Gibson years ago. The Headplate, heelcap, backstrip and rosette feature rare burled Box Elder with superb figure and colors. The headstock and top are bordered with Abalone. The voice is all McGill, big, bold projection thanks to Paul's unique bracing that incorporates internal struts add strength and allow for lighter top bracing. The trebles just leap out of this guitar and the bass is resounding. This is a real room filler and it's rich and beauitiful across the spectrum. This is a very special custom McGill Guitar.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"Paul McGill phoned me about this guitar and hinted that I might really like it. He was right, the trebles are glorious and make you want to play melodies that ring and sustain. The bass is big and round and blends perfectly with the high strings. The 12 fret body insure you get all the tone from the top notch woods including very old Cocobolo and German Spruce that Paul got from Gibson guitars decades ago. This is a rare chance at a brand new McGill guitar." - Paul Heumiller

"This is a very cool guitar, it has a lot of power due to Paul McGill's unique bracing. The top is braced in such a way that it responds really well to mediums. you can really play this one and it keeps giving." - Al Petteway
