Here, Marty Lanham’s done a wonderful job of blending the warm presense of a 12-fret neck with a Slope Shoulder Dreadnought body for added depth and sustain. This 2001 Dreadnought has a rich, colorful bass that rolls out of the guitar like the rumble of an old Chevy, so if you’re ready to let the top down, this guitar is ready to hit the road for the nearest Bluegrass or Old Time jam. Flatpickers will love the sheer hugeness of the voice, and all you fingerpicking songwriters can rely on the sweet warmth of the 12-fret design to lend extra color to your songs with the Adirondack Spruce top. Looking for a smooth-playing Indian Rosewood Dreadnought with the articulation and playability of a much smaller guitar? Look no further; your ride has arrived.

Loud and brash as the Fourth of July, this Dreadnought from Marty Lanham’s Nashville Guitar Company is a sound cannon fit to knock you flat on your feet–so we recommend first playing this Dread while seated. Combining the classic punch and drive of Mahogany (and what gorgeous Quilted Mahogany is this!) with a German Spruce top for maximum silkiness, you won’t find a bad note across the length of the fretboard.
The banjo players at your Bluegrass session better be ready, because this Dreadnought means business; they might be out of a job, soon. In addition, this Dreadnought has a hearty C-profile neck that’s easy on the left hand, and traditional pre-War aesthetics from the bone through-saddle to the Grained Ivoroid binding and MOP snowflakes on the fretboard, to provide the ultimate in traditional American tone and design.

Another all-star performer from Marty Lanham’s Nashville Guitar Company shop! This Dreadnought’s decked out in some seriously alluring Brazilian Rosewood–all swirling grain across the back–with Adirondack Spruce on top for maximum projection. Flatpickers, rejoice: between the explosive low end and the crisp trebles is a sea of fat, juicy solos ready to be explored.
In keeping faith with Lanham’s traditional aesthetic, this Dreadnought features Grained Ivoroid bindings and understated Abalone diamond inlays on the fretboard, with a fit and finish that is top notch; and there are virtually no signs of play wear anywhere on this instrument. Wrapped up in a hardshell TKL case when not in use, this Nashville Guitar Co. Dreadnought is ready for many more years of fine music.

This Nashville Guitar Company 000 is your short track to fingerstyle heaven. The 000 body and 12-fret neck give this guitar a rich, sweet voice that’s bursting at the seams with delicate overtones and a crisp, responsive bass register. With Koa back and sides for dryness and articulation, and Spruce for powerful projection, this is the perfect storm for a solo fingerstylist. We tried this guitar in Standard, in DADGAD, in DADF#AD, in DADFAD, all the way down to Cadd9 and Open C–it handled each and every tuning we threw its way with aplomb. In particular, Open D Minor had an extra chills-up-your-spine factor, thanks to that Koa dryness.
The 12-fret neck is comfortable in the left hand, and the string-to-string separation is superb; perfect for complex fingerpicking arrangements. The fit and finish is top notch, with gold Waverly slotted tuners for easy retunings between sets, and the 000 size and shape make this guitar instantly intimate in your hands.
Marty Lanham has been playing and working on musical instruments for over thirty years. In 1972, he moved his family from Northern California to Nashville to pursue his passion for banjos, guitars and music. Music City was a natural place to go. “I was looking for a place to live where music was as much a part of the culture as it was to my life. It was clear to me that playing banjos and guitars, fixing and building them, was what I wanted to do with my life.”
Marty’s building some of the finest pre-War acoustics in the Tennessee area. The Nashvilles we’ve had through the shop have been rich and projective, and very easy on the hands.
