2004 Everett Celona - Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar
Kent Everett is a master Luthier who makes only 6-8 guitars each year. Every guitar he makes is an individual work of art with unique appointments. The Celona model is where Kent allows himself to stretch out and work with new ideas and designs. This guitar features a wedge shaped body that tapers from the treble side to the bass side so it's slimmer near your chest as you play. This is an ergonomic feature that adds comfort but it also has a sonic effect which helps control the bass keeping a larger guitar very balanced. There is also a side soundport and a cutaway neck heel for easy access to the higher frets. The guitar has lovely adornments as well such as the dimensional headplate and backplate and the carved bridge. There is also a B-Band pickup installed. We don't see many used Everett guitars and this is the first wedge body.
Audio played by Al Petteway
Artists who play instruments by this builder: Brad Paisley, Shawn Mullins, Amy Ray (Indigo Girls), Don Conoscenti, Tim Wampler

Player Reviews:
"Kent Everett now builds just 6-8 guitars a year, all of them one-of-a-kind works of art. Preowned Everetts are few and far between and this one is very unique featuring a wedge body shape, soundport, cutaway heel, etc. On the Celona model Kent pushes the envelope and gets very creative. That is evident in this guitar's beauty and design. It's extremely comfortable to hold so players with shoulder issues will love it. The tone is clear and it works perfectly for both fingerstyle and strumming. A rare and special Everett" - Paul Heumiller
