Add to Compare2019 Michaud 00-R, Sundari Rocklite Rosewood/Master Grade Swiss Spruce
And now for a slice of something different, modern, and sustainable. Joel Michaud of Michaud Made has teamed up with the producers of Rocklite for a new material they’re calling Sundari Rocklite, or synthetic Indian Rosewood. The result is a more sustainable use of Rosewood for guitars that also has the added benefit of being extra stable. On top Joel used Swiss Spruce, and the two combine for a sweetly balanced tone that adds a touch of roundness in the trebles. Gorgeous Robson tuners at the headstock, and between the posts you’ll find a unique oxidized metal inlay that echoes Joel’s über cool metal rosette. We simply love the use of oxidized metal here; it adds a splash of dramatic color and very much sets it apart from the Abalone crowds. Being a 00 body, this Michaud is very comfortable in hand and play effortlessly, helped by a florentine cutaway, elevated fingerboard, and upper bout soundport. Built in 2019 and looking the part!

A 2020 build from Joel Michaud that’s already wide awake, dressed to the nines, and playing effortlessly? That’s what we’re fortunate enough to have in the shop today. Such a feat of modern lutherie. Amazon Rosewood back and sides, pencil straight and ruddy red, plus master grade Moonspruce on top and a multiscale design at 26 inches down to 25.4 inches, makes for an incredibly resonant fingerstyle guitar that’s equally at home in Standard as it is in DADGAD or C tunings. It’s the kind of guitar where even flubbed notes sound good. Additionally, Michaud added twin arm & rib bevels for creature comfort, and an eliptical soundport to boot. Plus EVO frets for longevity! And the cream on top is Joel’s addition of oxidized metal appointments at the rosette, headstock, and endgraft.

Balance and elegance are the first two words that come to mind with this guitar in hand. Joel Michaud’s sense of line, curve—and most importantly, tone—come together in this 2015 00-R in a way that many builders aim for, but few achieve. The woods are top shelf: The Tree Mahogany back and sides, Swiss Spruce on top—and Joel crafted a rosette that’s sunk into the top for a distinct touch. Next to that is a tapered fretboard extension that offers the elusive 24th fret to the fearless musician who needs to go so high. A sharp Florentine Cutaway and Scheller tuners round out the image.
The tone is smooth and easy, balanced from bass to treble, and this Michaud is set up for effortless playability. The smaller body dimensions, combined with a short 25” scale, make for warm, round trebles, and we love how Joel manages to keep the guitar’s response so even along the fretboard. This Michaud is a collector grade piece, and we’re honored to offer it to you.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, guitarbuilding, michaud guitars, oo, quilted mahogany

Clean, consistent, and crisp. This 2015 OM-R from Joel Michaud is a fantabulous instrument in Pernambuco and Moonspruce that’s finely honed for fingerstyle play. The body features a dramatic arm bevel and wedge for creature comfort, and a Florentine Cutaway for upper fret access. We love how easily this Michaud plays, and the trebles absolutely sing.

Alessi tuners are elegant and smooth operators, and the whole package comes wrapped up in a custom Ameritage case for good-looking protection.

Add to Compare2013 Michaud Made 00-R, Cocobolo/Lutz Spruce
The first Michaud to walk through our door feels like an old friend sliding back into town. This 2013 00-R “Interrupted” feels intimate and familiar in your hands, and responds easily to both strummed and fingerstyle approaches. Striking red Cocobolo back and sides, Lutz Spruce on top, and a 25 inch scale for warmth and easy playability. Trim punching weight of 4lbs 2oz, Wenge trim and Schertler tuners, and all of this wrapped up in an Ameritage case for safe keeping.
The voice has a focused quality that projects notes directly outward from the soundhole, rendering arrangements with added clarity and definition. The bass response has a touch of added warmth that mellows the overall balance of the instrument. When combined with this Michaud’s added focus and clarity, the effect is a warm tone that’s bounded by crisp definition—a combination that easily stands out.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, fingerpicking, cocobolo rosewood, nitrocellulose lacquer, 14-fret

I have always loved to build and create with my own hands. With a background in woodworking and design, combined with a love for music, building musical instruments became a natural calling for me. Working solo as a Luthier out of my shop I craft guitars with a modern aesthetic while having a strong respect for tradition. Building guitars has become my way of life, and I live each day excited to create, learn and evolve. I hope to have the chance to build you your dream Michaud guitar.
