New Musser OM, Cocobolo/Sitka Spruce
It’s hard to put this one down. Our latest brand new OM from Don Musser is a gorgeous example of what happens when you combine a tonewood dealer’s personal collection with their luthier chops: purity, clarity, and strength. Costa Rican Cocobolo back and sides paired with a tight-grain Sitka Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany bindings. Glassy nitro finish, 25 1/2” scale, Brazilian Rosewood bridge—this OM is a sight to see, and that goes double for hearing.
Don’s voiced the top for fingerstyle responsiveness and clarity. The 25.5” scale gives a bit more bite when you drop down into DADGAD and beyond. There’s a great string-to-string balance; the voice doesn’t favor any particular register, letting them all ring out evenly. We’d recommend this Musser OM for, well, everything.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, tone wood, orchestra model, flatpicking, gotoh, tkl

1997 Don Musser Dreadnought, Brazilian/German
This is not your average Dreadnought, all boom and no balance—the response is even from string to string and fret to fret. Don Musser, when he isn’t building guitars, is selling tonewood to luthiers, so it should come as no surprise that the woods are incredible on this Dread. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides paired with a German Spruce top, Flamed Maple bindings, scalloped nut and saddle. Pay close attention and you’ll see no detail is fudged, right down to how Don gracefully transitions the straight edges of the heelcap into the Flamed Maple bindings at the back.
The voice has excellent note clarity, and the bass response is warm, focused, and well-defined. The respective registers are well-balanced; it’s a seamless transition from bass runs to solos on the treble strings. It’s opened up handsomely in 20 years: there’s lots of energy under the hood that’s easy to access. The lower mids in particular have a breathy response that balances nicely between the bass and treble registers.
For the flatpicker who plays Bluegrass but wanders into Jazz territory and beyond, this is a unique piece that can easily keep up with your genre-bending arrangements.

2008 Mustapick OM Multiscale, Brazilian Rosewood/Bearclaw Spruce
Matt Mustapick’s work with multiscale designs have yielded some incredible results, like this wonderchild OM from 2008. Gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pair up Bearclaw Spruce plus Cocobolo appointments throughout. Koa bindings transition gracefully into a Ryan-style arm bevel on top, and match up with the rosette and fingerboard bindings. Tonally, this Mustapick has a great dynamic range and a wide color palette from solid, powerful trebles to a warm and intimately expressive bottom end. The multiscale range offers a spread from 26 1/4” at the bass to 25 1/2” at the trebles, perfect for Standard, DADGAD, C9, and beyond.

2008 Mustapick Baritone, All-Koa
Remember the expression, speak softly and carry a big stick? How about speak loudly and carry a big stick—cuz that’s what we’ve got here with this 2008 Mustapick Baritone. This fearsome force of nature boasts a 29 inch scale (takin’ it down to G town!), all-Koa construction, and an upper bout soundport to boot. It only weighs in at a little over five pounds; not bad for a Baritone that’s packing as much projection and power as this one. The neck and body balance out each other well, making this an easy-playing experience. If you’re ready to take the leap into Baritone territory, you can’t go wrong with this all-Koa Mustapick.

2008 Mustapick Aurora Macassar Ebony/Koa
Every now and then, we get a guitar in the shop which is so staggeringly beautiful, it reminds us of the first time we fell in love with music. This, a custom build from Matt Mustapick which became his standard Aurora model, is just such an instrument. With a huge, bold voice, articulate and finely honed, the Macassar Ebony and Koa body are tuned with depth and sonority in mind.Set up for lowered tunings like DADGAD, the Aurora is perfect for the fingerstylist looking to blow doors down with the force of their arrangements–with a monstrous projection and haunting sustain, the Aurora sounds more like a three-piece band than simply a six-string guitar. The Macassar Ebony provides a clarity to the low-end, and Mustapick’s renowned skills with Koa have yielded a top that evens out the tone and provides the trebles with great body and a clean, invigorating presence.Per the custom build specs, this guitar features gorgeous crimson Bloodwood bindings, rosette, and headstock veneer, with a slight arm rest bevel and a slight Manzer Wedge for ease of playing–and let’s not forget the upper bout soundport to project the bass straight to the player’s ear! As mentioned above, this guitar has a longer-than-average multi-scale fretboard (27 3/8″ on the low E and 25 5/8″ on the high), so we recommend keeping this guitar in lowered tunings, rather than up to standard, unless you use lighter strings.Replete with sumptuous appointments and playability upgrades, this Aurora is your next guitar to expand your definitions of what a guitar is, and what it can sound like.
