Player Reviews:
"Marc Maingard has made guitars for many top players including Earl Klugh and Stephen Stills. His fresh style is not only artistic but functional. The armrest and ribrest bevels on this guitar really make a difference. You'll wonder why every guitar doesn't have them. Be sure to click on these photos and look closely at the larger ones to fully appreciate the amount of detail on this guitar. The elegant red purfling is not just on the top but under and on the fingerboard, the headstock and the entire body. It really enhances the natural red hues in the Cocobolo Rosewood. Which brings us to the woods, Cocobolo is loved for its Brazilian Rosewood-like tone, rich and clear. The Cedar top here is braced with a 7 fan pattern and offers up a clear and strong voice that is very balanced and even up the fingerboard. The bass is open and big sounding. This is a true concert guitar but could easily be asked to play many genres. Treat yourself to the modern improvements that make this the golden age of luthery." - Paul Heumiller
"I love the bevels on the front and back of this guitar. They are elegant and very comfortable. The tone is clear and strong and the craftsmanship is spectacular." - Al Petteway
