2005 Maingard Guitars Grand Concert - GC Acoustic Guitar
Here we have a virtually unplayed 2005 Maingard GC with some tremendous wood and lovely appointments. It was custom built for a friend of Marc Maingard's family and is quite special. For starters there is a stunning set of Brazilian Rosewood with beautiful color and just enough sapwood to add some drama to the back. The top is extremely silky European Spruce which brings it's power and beauty to the voice. It is replete with a cutaway and front and back bevels for ultimate comfort and playability. The rosette is a highly customized Abalone Triangles design that really sets off this guitar. It is in Mint condition, played mere hours by it's previous owner. Our Maingards have been flying out the door, so we are happy to have this gorgeous GC for you.

Player Reviews:
"It's no secret that I love Marc's work. He builds a versatile and completely satisfying guitar with rich tone, clarity and power. His armrest and ribrest bevels are among the most elegant in the business and really make his guitars comfortable beyond compare. This GC, for example, holds like an OM. The woods here are first rate and beautiful, Brazilian, Euro, Cutaway, Dual Bevels, it's all Maingard...." - Paul Heumiller
"I love the rosette on this Maingard, it's unique and beautiful. The wood is top notch and the tone is equally magnificent. " - Al Petteway
