2006 Maingard Guitars GC - Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar
What a treat to receive this amazing Maingard guitar for our preowned selection. We don't get as many guitars as we'd like to from Marc Maingard's shop in Capetown South Africa, so we are always pleased to see one and this one is quite special. A quick scroll down the page will make that abundantly clear. Just look at the exciting Brazilian Rosewood set, the armrest and ribrest bevels, the elegant cutaway and the beautiful blue and tan ndebele style rosette. All of this beauty is wrapped around a powerhouse guitar packs a punch in the form of big, resounding bass notes and clear sparkling trebles. This is a great example of why Maingard Guitars are so highly sought after.

Player Reviews:
"Marc Maingard eye for artistic detail and his sense of style are extraordinary. Every part of this guitar is elegant and beautiful. Even the heelcap is stunning. But what really excites me about his guitars is the tone. Many players seek out a guitar that has great fingerstyle clarity but with ample bass, they want a guitar that also sounds good strummed. Maingard guitars do all of this and more. This one is particularly bold and strong, it sounds great when you drive it a bit. But played softly it's sweet and delicate. A very complete guitar." - Paul Heumiller
"This Maingard Grand Concert is balanced and clear with plenty of extra sustain. It's also extremely comfortable to hold." - Al Petteway
