New Matsuda Hybrid Brazilian/Italian
An instrument which surpasses the definitions of both an electric or acoustic guitar, this 2016 Matsuda Hybrid has been years in the making, and arrived in its custom flight case in March. Custom built for one of our clients, this guitar combines the acoustic depth and timbre of a flattop with the low action, smooth setup, and ferocious sustain (not to mention overdriven power) of an electric. There’s only one output jack, but it is wired in stereo, which means (like many contemporary fingerstyle players prefer) that you can run this Matsuda through two amps simultaneously, and therefore establish an extremely dynamic amplified sound. With the floating rib rest on the back of the Brazilian Rosewood body, this instrument is very comfortable to hold and to play, and the Italian Spruce top lends its creamy voice to the overall mix. Interesting in tweaking the setup? Simply open the side access port and the onboard preamp is waiting for you (and you can take a moment to bask in the meticulous, ordered glory of Michi’s wiring job and internal bracing patterns). Here we have a magnetic electric pickup paired with a piezo contact pickup, and this instrument can handle either acoustic or electric strings with ease–all you need to is shift the poles of the magnetic pickup and adjust the string height!
Sadly, we only had this Hybrid in the shop for a few days to record it with Al before sending it on its way to its expectant owner. We can’t wait to see the next one!

Here we have an excellent archtop guitar in Redwood and Walnut from builder, Michael Lewis. It’s obvious this one’s been played, judging by the openness of the voice. It’s remarkable how sweet this instrument sounds played acoustically, but when plugged-in, the true beauty of it’s voice, as well as the quality of the Bartolini pickup, really shines through. Sweet, fat, and mellow are all apt descriptors, and surely this guitar has seen many a late-night jazz club jam session. Additionally, the satin-finished walnut neck feels superb in-hand.

Once again David Myka creates a most amazing instrument… This time it is his Dragonfly model with all the fixins. For starters he takes Australian Lacewood and Claro Walnut and blends them perfectly with Amboyna Burl bridge, headplate and tuner veneers. Then he adds a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard and Koa bindings from top to bottom. Now let’s talk about the tonal components: Bartolini PBF55 and PBF57 pickups married with a Pickup-The-World (PUW) piezo in the bridge. He completes this tonal monster with controls that include separate 1/4″ outputs for Mag or Piezo as well as a Piezo/Mag blend mini toggle, dedicated Piezo volume and Series/Parallel knobs for each of the Bartolinis. If you are seeking one stage guitar for acoustic and electric voices from clean to scream, this one can do it all.

Wait till you see the lacewood back and sides on this baby — so deep, so rich… mesmerizing! This is another wonderful instrument from Myka, and it brings everything to the table — tone, playability, versatility… For a standard configuration (2 humbuckers, a toggle, and tone/volume for each), this guitar makes a lot of different sounds. The top is hand carved and tap tuned and the back is routed out as well, so this guitar really combined archtop qualities with thinline electric tones. Want to distinguish yourself from the crowd? Here’s a great place to start!

Here we have a first from PRS. This is the very First Bronze DG-T finish on a PRS Guitar! We are certain the other-worldly one-piece Blistered Maple Top on this Singlecut Hollow Body I inspired them to try something new. This top is beyond words, so much figure and symmetry. The dark Bronze finish creates a theme that is continued with the Cocobolo Fingerboard, Headplate and Tuners.
Sublime Bird Outlines in 10K Gold adorn the headplate and fingerboard. The Korina Body and the famous PRS Archtop pickups insure a killer tone, but there is also the PRS Piezo system which in our mind, is one of the best sounding acoustic pickups used on an electric guitar, and we are pretty knowledgeable about acoustics;). So wether you are a PRS collector or simply want the best, this PRS is as special as it gets.

We’re more than happy to announce our latest partnership with Glenn Nichols’ Retrograde Guitars, restoration maestro and electric guitar experimenteur! The curves of his Corralitos model are velvet smooth in hand-rubbed varnish and a dark burst, with McNelly Bliss humbuckers and wedge-adjustable bridge—and we haven’t started in on the tone yet, or the playability. Electric guitars don’t often come with such flawless fit-n-finish and appointments, but Nichols spared not one iota of attention in designing and executing this marvelously light electric to cover a wide range of musical territories.
Handmade McNelly Bliss humbuckers based on old PAFs, 1950s style wiring to maximize vintage flair, and Emerson pots for good measure. The body is finished with an oil varnish recipe originally designed for the Spruce masts of ships to maximize flexibility and durability; the neck is spirit varnished, feels warm and smooth to the touch. These choices came from Glenn’s myriad years honing his finish craft at Santa Cruz, Kenny Hill, and more recently with Bill Tippin. Spanish Cedar neck, blocking, and kerfing relieves the guitar of extra bulk (this electric weights in at a scant 5lbs 8oz), and the lively acoustic response of Nichols’ laminated Maple body translates delectably into the pickup tone. This Corralitos is your guide and constant companion for everything across the electric horizon.
