Mario Beauregard’s crossover guitars are perfect

Mario Beauregard’s crossover guitars are perfect, if you’re looking for a lightweight, responsive, stage ready instrument that practically plays itself. This beauty was built between 2008 and 2011 with a carved Indian Rosewood back, Spruce top, and a dual source K&K pickup system. This Beauregard MB Nylon Jazz weighs in right at four pounds, has a slightly radiused fingerboard and semi-hemispherical fret ends (plus side dots) for ergonomics, and a smart venetian cutaway to maximize fretboard access to the highest notes

Striped Mahogany gives this 2000 Olson SJ its char

Striped Mahogany gives this 2000 Olson SJ its character, both in terms of the rich, simmering glow of the grain and also the clarity and energy of the voice. This guitar has all of the sparkle we love about James Olson‘s instruments, but with a slightly shorter sustain and more push in the bass that makes this guitar even more versatile than some. From Celtic aires to Blues or your favorite fingerstyle James Taylor arrangements, this one will captivate.

Long scale setup at 27” and 1 3/16” nut; a hefty 10lbs 13oz; broken in and opened up tone.

A thundercloud built with Red Cedar and Birdseye Maple, this 2003 Advanced Auditorium from Sheldon Schwartz is an excellent guitar for just about every application.
