2007 Blanchard Juniper - Small Body Acoustic Guitar
From Mark Blanchard: "The Juniper is a small bodied guitar with 14 frets to the body. It provides small body comfort, short scale playability and a clear balanced tone. This guitar is surprisingly full sounding considering its compact body size. The Juniper is a great choice for players who seek a smaller sized yet full featured guitar." We could not agree more, this is a lively, beautiful sounding guitar with that Blanchard voice. The Boise de Rose body is gorgeous and adds clarity and shimmer to this one. It's easy to hold and a joy to play.

Player Reviews:
"Mark Blanchard is one of the finest luthiers we have the pleasure of working with. He has a voice all his own and builds impeccably crafted guitars. This guitar plays very easily with it's short scale and small body. It really has a lot of volume and projection so you can truly have it all in this one. Bois de Rose is one of the prettiest exotic woods we have and this set is spectacular." - Paul Heumiller
"I really love Mark Blanchard's guitars and this smaller bodied acoustic is wonderful. The tone is clear and warm and it is the perfect instrument for fingerstyle playing." - Al Petteway
