Kent Everett is a master Luthier who makes only 6-8 guitars each year. Every guitar he makes is an individual work of art with unique appointments. The Celona model is where Kent allows himself to stretch out and work with new ideas and designs. This guitar features a wedge shaped body that tapers from the treble side to the bass side so it’s slimmer near your chest as you play. This is an ergonomic feature that adds comfort but it also has a sonic effect which helps control the bass keeping a larger guitar very balanced. There is also a side soundport and a cutaway neck heel for easy access to the higher frets. The guitar has lovely adornments as well such as the dimensional headplate and backplate and the carved bridge. There is also a B-Band pickup installed. We don’t see many used Everett guitars and this is the first wedge body.

This 2010 Simon Fay OM is dressed in beautiful Cocobolo back and sides, along with Carpathian Spruce on top. It is a modern fingerstyle dream, featuring stainless steel frets (these will last a good long while), a Ryan-style bevel, and the David Enke ‘Open to Source Sensors’ passive UST pickup system. This guitar sounds and looks incredible. It includes Alessi tuners for optimum tuning stability and aesthetics. The fingerboard is made of African Blackwood, which is a very nice touch, along with the Brazilian Rosewood bridge and fossilized ivory bridge pins. This guitar pulls no punches in its quality of components.

Serious powerhouse on the scene; hard to put this beauty down for any length of time. Simon Fay knocked it right out of the park with this OM from 2009—lively and energetic, crisp with great pop!, fires right out of the soundhole. This one takes to a flatpick like a natural, and has enough sensitivity to respond great under fingers as well. This exemplifies the attributes of the OM, namely, well-rounded and equally at home in every setting. Additionally, the setup is silky smooth, and Fay pulled out gorgeous tonewoods to dress it up. Flamed Claro Walnut back and sides (elements of crisp and woody tone) with Sinker Redwood on top (and the warmth and color that fills out the rest of the voice), plus Snakewood bindings and a soundport for creature comforts. The sides are double thicknessed with Zebrawood interiors, and Simon braced the Redwood top with his unique T bracing pattern.

It is hard to think of a more classy guitar than this Fay OM. Every detail in the design is well thought out, and perfectly done. In style we are reminded of the classical guitar. In tone however, its completely modern and unique, every string has its own gorgeous singing quality. The Brazilian and Adirondack Spruce is a time honored combination and brings sweetnes and clarity to the tonal pallete. This Fay really is something special.

Our first guitar from Simon stirred up quite a lot of interest and sold within days for the simple reason that he’s an exciting new builder with incredible tone, unique style and is currently offering our customers great introductory pricing. This new arrival is crafted from Amazon Rosewood and Carpathian Spruce, two woods with special character that joins forces brilliantly. The Amazon Rosewood has deep reddish hues which Simon accented by using Cocobolo bindings and headplate as well as a Red Myrtle Burl Rosette. The Master Grade Carpathian Spruce top has the power of Adirondack with just a hint more sweetness. Simon braces his tops with Adirondack spruce and employs Spanish Cedar kerfing and back bracing. The voice is powerful and lush and the sound seems to swell on it’s leaving the top. Another superb Simon Fay guitar.
