New Applegate SJ - Acoustic Guitar
We saw this amazing instrument at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival and immediately ask Brian if we could have it. African Blackwood is becoming extremely popular and for good reason. The tone is deep and warm with a smooth midrange. It's unique and haunting and offers a beautiful color to add to any arsenal of guitars. Being a show guitar Brian added some wonderful touches including a CNC cut soundport, armrest bevel and extraordinary custom geometric backstrip and back of the neck inlay. The pictures tell it better than we can so please scroll down and enjoy this Applegate SJ.

Player Reviews:
"Brian Applegate continues to push the envelope and for this year's Healdsburg Guitar Festival he pulled out a few new things from his bag of tricks. Just look at the detail on this beautiful SJ. The custom geometric backstrip and neck inlays are very unique and stunning. The armrest bevel is ultra-comfortable and the cutout style soundport is simply amazing. From top to bottom this is a sophisticated and beautiful guitar but we selected it for its tone which is breathtaking. Complete from bass to treble with a wonderful balance of beauty and power. Straight from Healdsburg to you..." - Paul Heumiller
