2010 Brondel A1-C, Malaysian Blackwood/German Spruce
What a powerhouse we have here in this 2010 A-1c by Laurent Brondel. Dressed in Malaysian Blackwood and German Spruce—Laurent’s guitars never disappoint and this is no exception. What is exceptional about this instrument however is the bracing. Loaded with a laminated “Larson-style” bracing–this guitar is built for power. It goes without saying there is plenty of headroom here, deep bass as well as strong and sparkling trebles. This dreadnought-sized cutaway is comfortable in hand. Roomy and spacious in both feel and sound. Laurent’s signature arched, rather than domed, top and back certainly contribute to this sense of comfort. As well as the warm and natural aesthetic, this Brondel A-1c feels like home.

2017 Bashkin SJ, Oregon Myrtle/Italian Spruce
Such a delight to visit with this beauty. Michael Bashkin builds premium grade modern fingerstyle instruments, just like this 2017 SJ with Myrtlewood back and sides plus Italian Spruce on top.The voice is characterized by clarity, balance, and smoothness, equally at home in Standard tuning as it is in DADGAD and some C tunings (thanks to the 26-25.4″ multiscale fingerboard). Frets are dressed with semi-hemispherical fret ends, making for a very smooth playing experience under your fingertips. At the headstock you’ll find a delicate inlay scheme with micro purflings looping across the headplate veneer and between the Waverly tuners. All of this comes wrapped in a Hoffee flight case with an added layer of Thinsulate for maximum protection.

2014 Petros FS Lefty, Curly African Rosewood (Bubinga)/Curly Redwood
We’re more than happy to be able to offer an exquisite southpaw FS Lefty guitar from Bruce and Matt Petros, built in 2014–here rendered with Figured Bubinga back and sides and Curly Redwood top, extensive Purflex Celtic inlays along the rosette and trim and back strip, right down to the tuner buttons themselves. EVO frets, florentine cutaway, and a high gloss finish throughout to really let this thing shine.

2003 Maingard GC, Cocobolo Rosewood/German Spruce
We’ve been longtime fans of Marc Maingard’s work, happily representing him here in the States. This 2003 GC comes to us with two decades’ of experience under its belt and a wide open, full throttle kind of responsiveness. Firecracker explosive! Cocobolo back and sides with German Spruce top, slender V neck, green-and-red purflings and rosette, and sharp florentine cutaway.

2017 Preston Thompson DBA-JW Jake Workman, Shipwreck Brazilian/Adirondack Spruce
We’re huge fans of Preston Thompson Guitars over here, ditto for Jake Workman of Skaggs’ Kentucky Thunder fame, so when those two came together you know the result is going to be special. In 2017 Jake spec’d this model out with Thompson’s Shipwreck stash of Brazilian Rosewood (basically unavailable today) and some tight-grained Adirondack Spruce on top, then combined that with a hybrid of 21 and 18-style appointments. K&K Trinity dual source pickup system and EVO frets are the icing on the cake. Moreso, the PKT team built this beau with a slender play weight which makes the guitar feel extra alive and singing in your hands. Add to that a fast neck and great setup, and this PKT DBA-JW is one of those rare guitars that can immediately take you out of yourself to get lost in the music.

2008 Blanchard Bristlecone, Mahogany/Carpathian Spruce
Mark Blanchard’s Bristlecone is one of those models that always feels comfortable, and always sounds great. This 2008 Bristlecone is no less than any of that! Carpathian Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides offers a crisp voice with great transparancy and clarity across the registers; ergonomics include a venetian cutaway and a Manzer body wedge. A K&K Pure Mini pickup has been installed (sounds fantastic), ditto for gold EVO frets and a strap button.

Paul McGill’s Concert Classical number 160 comes to us from 1995 but has been well preserved and is in excellent condition. Indian Rosewood body with Spruce top, 650mm scale, six hole tieblock with a drop in saddle, and a slim playing weight of 3.5lbs. Additionally, the fingerboard features subtle side dots at the 5th, 7th, and 9th frets for easier lefthand orienteering.

2013 Klepper 00-40 Martin Conversion, Brazilian Rosewood/Red Spruce
In a word, gorgeous. Howard Klepper pulled off an excellent conversion job with this 2013 00-40 which began life in 1960 as a Martin 00-28G. Accordingly, quarter sawn Brazilian Rosewood with some delectable feathered figuring at the bout ends, with a new Red Spruce top and 14-fret neck. Klepper added 40-style Abalone trim along the top, as well as diamonds & snowflakes position markers, Rosewood bridge, and Ivoroid bindings. A light brown shade top finish pairs up with the richness of the Brazilian sides to a T.

Every Calton Case is handcrafted and custom-fit to your instrument.
How are Calton Cases made? By hand and with love. While Calton CNC initial plugs and molds for testing new styles and shapes, once they’ve tested the cases—inside and out—they are made by hand. Without giving away too many secrets, here is how they do it:
- Measurements: we rely on you (and your dealer) for precise measurements of your instruments. This ensures the perfect fit.
- Exterior I: three layers of hand-laid fiberglass build the foundation for the side walls, tops and bottoms of each case.
- Exterior II: once the fiberglass shell is trimmed, up to 97 rivets are used to adhere latches, catch surrounds (leather bumpers), protective feet and a custom leather handle.
- Interior Stage I: gluing of the rubber trim and initial placement of interior fabric, foam and lining.
- Interior Stage II: cutting and assembly of the remaining foam layers and final velvet placement.
- Squeaky Clean: we call this the “detailing” stage where we meticulously polish exteriors and vacuum interiors.
- Final Inspection: every square inch of every case is looked over, making sure it is ready for the road. We add your label (with serial number) and ship!

2008 Muiderman The Wave, Brazilian Rosewood/Cedar
Kevin Muiderman applies double top designs to this Wave body for added power and push, without losing the warmth and roundness of Cedar. Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides doesn’t hurt, either! The neck carve has a slightly slender profile for deft lefthand work. Additional features include a cutaway and “wave” body style with a slight body wedge for added ease of play. A K&K Trinity pickup system and custom Pegasus case complete the picture. Coming to us from 2008, this Muiderman Wave has opened up sweetly.

Brand New Bresnan GS, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Gorgeous from tuners to tail, our latest brand new Bresnan GS is sharp dressed and packing serious tone.

2010 Claxton EM-C Brazilian Rosewood/German Spruce
It is an exquisite treat to have this 2010 Claxton EM-C in your hands. The voice is crisp, with added sweetness in the mids and treble for a great mix of warmth and precision; fingerstyle rarely sounds so fine as it does here. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides are augmented with gorgeous ink lines and dramatic figure; Spruce on top which has opened up oh so well; silky setup that’s as easy as breathing. How to go wrong with this guitar? The only way we can think is to not play it. Ed has recently retired–congrats, Ed!–meaning there won’t be any more guitars like this coming down the line. All wrapped up in a sturdy Calton case for maximum safety.

2018 Klein 457, Brazilian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
Taking this 2018 457 for a spin, and you lose track of time right out of the gate. This big boy fills your lap and vibrates your chest at first strum, and quickly sets the room to vibrating with the force of its voice. This 457 is a fantastic example of the expansive, enveloping, sonorous Klein sound—with some top shelf upgrades to set it apart. Mouth-watering gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood back and sides (chocolate-dark and black ink lines) with Spruce on top and a multiscale setup oof 26 1/4” on the bass and 25 1/8” on the treble. Moreover, the neck, bridge, and fingerboard are all also Brazilian Rosewood—this neck is a special rarity, and adds smooth sustain to the midrange that really helps fills out the voice. The expansive 18” lower bout loves, loves, loves to tune down to altered tuning territory (Cadd9) is a particular sweet spot.
