Add to Compare2019 McIlroy A69c Custom, All Koa
Whoever said Koa doesn’t have depth and power hasn’t played this A69c Custom McIlroy. Not only does this all-Koa guitar pack some serious heft into the voice with a quick and lively string energy, but it manages to do so while looking good at the same time. Sycamore bindings plus Abalone rosette, top trim, and position markers are an excellent complement to the figured Koa, and the pinless bridge ties it all together. Additionally, this A69c has the added distinction of being McIlroy’s 1200th guitar–no small feat. If you want lots of power in an easy-playing package, it’s hard to go wrong with this 2019 A69c.

The guitars of Dermot McIlroy have become highly sought after and for good reason. They sound amazing, are well crafted, beautiful and easy to play. This high-end McIlroy A65 Figured Koa/Cedar has an angelic voice, articulate and open. Koa, known for being clear and woody, mixes well here with the Cedar top which adds warmth and depth.
The 15 3/4″ body offers up plenty of bass but the fat, rich trebles ensure the melodies are easily heard. This is a Cedar top guitar that has a lot of power and headroom and can cover a lot of ground. It’s in like new condition as well. Don’t miss this hard-to-find McIlroy.
Add to Compare2002 McIlroy A25C Walnut/Cedar
This Walnut and Cedar McIlroy A25C plays and sounds like a Dream! It is an exceptional all-around guitar – and certainly well suited for Celtic and fingerstyle music. Built in Ireland a decade ago, the voice of this guitar is open and rich with a nice roundness to the trebles. McIlroy guitars are hard to come by these days as Dermot has a long waiting list due to their great value and amazing tone.
Add to Compare2003 McIlroy A30 Indian/Sitka
The last time I spoke with Dermot McIlroy, he told me his waiting list was up to 4 years. Play this guitar and you’ll know why his guitars are in such high demand. This fine McIlroy A30 has very accurate and precise bass frequencies, and strong clear trebles. The profile of the neck makes it easy to reach for complex fingerings, and I found it quite easy to execute difficult musical passages because of it. This is a great opportunity to get a McIlroy today without the long wait!
