Add to CompareNew Beauregard Concert Flamed Maple/Italian
Mario Beauregard is an extremely talented and world renowned luthier whose fingerstyle instruments are in high demand, thanks to his top-tier voicing and drop dead gorgeous aesthetics. We have worked with Mario in the past and are happy to host one of his brand new instruments featuring his all new headstock design here in our shop. You can watch the brilliant fingerstyle virtuoso Antoine Dufour put this guitar through it paces in this video here.
This instrument is one with excellent focus and distinction between the strings thanks to the 12 fret body joint, as well as superior sustain for those who like to draw out their notes. The highly figured Flamed Maple and Italian Spruce are reactive and extremely well suited to precise playing styles, but in Mario’s hands they have a subtle complexity and warmth that open new possibilities to players seeking inspiration in unexplored directions. This is a guitar that evokes change in the player, giving you perspective as you play.

Add to Compare2007 Beauregard OM Brazilian/Italian
Mario Beauregard was one of the early apprentices of Ervin Somogyi along with Michihiro Matsuda. Mario’s guitars are superbly built, with a little of that Somogyi flare that he picked up during the apprenticeship. This OM in Italian Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood is an all out fingerpickers dream. The tone is decadent, trebles blend perfectly with the bass creating a nice fat sound that is just brilliant. There is a good reason why renowned fingerstyle player Antoine Dufour plays a Beauregaurd as his main guitar, they are responsive and able to produce any tone you can dream up.

Add to CompareBeauregard MB Flamed Maple/Spruce
Here is one of the coveted Maria Beauregard MB hollow body models. This one in stunning Flamed Maple and Spruce with a absolutely gorgeous honeyburst finish. The deeply rounded edges make the MB one of the most comfortable guitars we’ve ever held. Mario added black & white perflings everywhere, the top, fingerboard and headplate, which really add a touch of elegance to an the natural beauty of the woods. This MB has a single Kent Armstrong pickup making it a great choice for jazz, but it’s also quite versatile. Lastly there are a hand carved bridge and tailpiece with Mario’s signature tailpiece post design. Mario no longer makes the MB so this is a rare chance to acquire one for yourself.

This Brazilian/Euro OM from Mario Beauregard is the epitome of balance and power. Every note rings clear and true with a sonorous beauty that is compelling. This guitar feels like a sports car, it seems to have gears and moves easily from gentle to down right powerful. It has a short 24.9″ scale and comfortable fingerstyle spacing so it plays with ease. This is a real player’s guitar that allows for expression at the highest level in terms of both dynamic range and lush tones. Well done Mario!

This is a wonderful Beauregard Guitar with Mario’s refined sound and a full, rich bass. This guitar is ultra-responsive and alive. It so much fun to play in drop tunings and also right at home in standard. Crafted from lovely Brazilian and perfect German Spruce it has the dignified tone you would expect and can just as easily be driven hard. I love the lines and the feel of this one.

In the beginning of the ‘90s, while he was in sales and repairs at Tom Lee music in Vancouver B.C., Mario started guitar building with luthier Robert D’Crivouir. A few years later he moved back to Quebec where he received one of his first grants from “Le Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Quebec”.
The Art council enabled him to attend the Roberto-Venn school of luthery where he met Ervin Somogyi in one of his master classes. He was invited to study with him, which represented a turning point in his career.
During weekdays he would work and study with Ervin Somogyi and during the weekends he would drive up to Taku Sakashta’s shop to learn about archtops. He also went on to work as the designer in the R&D department of Lasido for a period of 4 years.
Mario is presently a one-man operation in the small town of St-Denis-sur-Richelieu near Montreal, Quebec and continue to act as a consultant in the industry.
Mario and I are long time friends. He builds inspiring and superb playing guitars. His craftsmanship is spectacular.
