Brand New Riviere OM, Honduran Rosewood/Swiss Moonspruce
This one sold before we could even list it!
Our very first guitar from Judd Riviere! Judd is a dear friend of the shop and one of the few local luthiers we represent. This OM from Riviere Guitars is decked out in Honduran Rosewood and Swiss Moon Spruce, featuring one of Judd’s signature rosettes, a cutaway, and an arm bevel. Aesthetically, it doesn’t get much better than this—and sonically, it’s just as impressive. Rich overtones, excellent sustain, and clear note separation—big and lush. The neck profile is quite full, with a 1 3/4″ nut width and 2 5/16″ spacing at the saddle. The fit and finish are immaculate, and while you can see Judd’s lineage from his work with Jason Kostal, this guitar is very much his own creation. We are so excited to see what’s in store for Judd. Keep an eye on this builder!

2016 Beauregard OMC, Brazilian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce
Mario Beauregard is renowned as one of the greatest modern luthiers, and this guitar is a shining example of why. When legends like Antoine Dufour and Calum Graham use your instruments, there can hardly be a better testament or endorsement of the quality of your work. Equipped with a K&K Trinity pickup system, this instrument is ready for any application. With its short scale and wide string spacing, this guitar is a modern player’s dream. The back and sides feature some of the finest Brazilian rosewood we’ve ever seen, paired with European spruce on top, showcasing epic medullary rays. It also includes a segmented burl and abalone rosette, and a Venetian cutaway. This is the crème de la crème.

2020 Klein 396L, Indian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
Steve Klein and Steve Kauffman continue to push the envelope, and after so many years they’re still finding new ways to do so. This 2020 396L is their smaller body they’ve been building for years, and with the L designation they slimmed the sides here for a more intimately proportioned Klein. The tone has an added dose of energy and quickness as a result, among other things. Indian Rosewood back and sides are paired with Engelmann Spruce on top, a light sunburst to boot, and their latest iteration of the side access panel—this time with magnets, it hinges at the center when pressed from the treble side, granting you instant access to the interior for string changes (note the string through bridge here), pickup modification, the works. All wrapped up in a custom Ameritage case that protects well and looks good while it’s at it.

2024 Circa 000-28, Brazilian Rosewood/German Spruce
John Slobod, you slay us. This 2024 000-28 is such an incredible piece, and it’s practically brand new. Not only is the Brazilian Rosewood gorgeously figured and sultry dark, butit pairs handsomely with a creamy German Spruce top and Rosewood bindings. Fit and finish is flawless throughout, and the voice is pianistic, especially for a small-bodied guitar. 12 frets to the body with a 25.4″ scale length seems to strike the perfect balance of crisp frontend and warm overtones. Gold EVO frets and a pyramid bridge are the cherry on top. Comes in an Ameritage case.

2024 Gaffney 00, Cocobolo/Swiss Spruce
A brand spanking new 00 from the one and only Julian Gaffney. Julian’s guitars have always been showstoppers here at the shop. His meticulous attention to detail and artistry is undeniable. The use of dyed burl as inlay material really sets Julian apart from other modern luthiers. Dramatic Cocobolo for the back and sides, and Swiss Spruce on top. This instrument has a robust sound and feel to it, with wide specs for the nut to allow for the most optimal left-hand access to all the pitches one could create with this creature. Brazilian Rosewood for the bridge and bridge pins.
Once again, this is an area in which Julian Gaffney shines. In our world, the headstock profile and bridge design are quite literally a builder’s calling cards. Here, Julian shows he is among the most unique and easily distinguished in the world of modern lutherie. It doesn’t stop with aesthetics. Most new guitars, quite frankly, sound new—they haven’t existed out in the world enough to be seasoned and they need breaking in. This beast, however, does not. Out of the case, this instrument sings. Full-bodied sound, significantly outpacing its size in volume. This guitar is a complete experience for both player and listener alike.

Brand New Laskin Klimt, Mun Ebony/Adirondack Spruce
Every guitar that comes from Grit Laskin is truly a work of art, and this is an ultimate example of that trend. Dedicated to the work of Gustav Klimt, it features “The Woman in Gold” (Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I) on the fingerboard. Grit Laskin flawlessly recreates the motif of this painting onto the fingerboard, using real gold in the inlay, true to Klimt’s style. The headplate of this Grand Auditorium guitar also features a recreation of “The Kiss.” Truly an exceptional work of art, this guitar, in classic Laskin fashion, could live in a gallery but also has a place in the studio. Laskin’s legendary arm and rib bevels outline the curves of this instrument, along with a sound port and a mosaic-style rosette, signifying a Grit Laskin masterpiece. This instrument has an Adirondack Spruce soundboard and Mun Ebony for the back and sides. The level of artistic contrast on this instrument is on full display with the back and sides, making it as socially enrapturing as it is visually.

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!
