There is something very special about Marc Maingard’s 000 design. Somehow he manages the powerful and responsive 000 sound you might expect, but there is a real beauty and musicality to the voice that many traditional 000 guitars lack. We’re sure Marc’s 30 years of experience has a lot to do with it, he certainly knows tone and how to get the most of it from simple wood. This 000 Maingard Guitar is stunning, crafted from premium Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce, sporting armrest and ribrest bevels, a venetian cutaway and his gorgeous Bird Of Paradise inlay on the headstock. Marvelous in every way.
