There are many descriptors and superlatives we could use to describe the guitar wizardry of Michael Kennedy. Put quite simply this guitar is epic. A sound as profound as its appearance, and man oh man is this instrument handsome. Crelicam Ebony for the back and sides, Torrefied Sitka Spruce on top. The back and sides are laminated which not only provides structural stability, but sonic stability as well. Michael’s guitars are powerhouses, and this is in part why. We also have a multiscale setup on this creature, so exploring tunings far and wide will be no hindrance! Take a look at the photos, the video and listen to the audio to fully be immersed in what makes this instrument so special. It speaks for itself.

Here’s one you’ll struggle to put down. Logan spec’d out this powerhouse with Michael Kennedy with the goal of landing a resonant, responsive, engrossing multiscale guitar. Clearly, Mike nailed it. The voice is crisp and clear, with bell-like trebles and a resounding bass response. Instant success for fingerstyle. Soaks up C tunings like it was made for it (and it was). We paired a striking set of Ziricote for the back and sides with Sinker Cedar on top, a 26.25-25.5″ multiscale fretboard, beveled bindings, soundport, tornavoz–the works! If you’re looking for a livewire that holds its own in a wide range of tunings and attacks, our latest Michael Kennedy GC simply will not disappoint.

We first began working with Michael Kennedy, the luthier behind Indian Hill Guitars, back in the infancy of his company’s name. Michael apprenticed to renowned Canadian luthier Sergei De Jonge, and has gone on to do increasingly impressive work. This latest piece is one that we espied and tried at the Memphis Acoustic Guitar Festival and absolutely had to have in the shop. And when we brought it back to record, it was Al Petteway’s pick of the day–even when pitted against more than ten other Dream Guitars we had him play. This Grand Concert pairs the warm, open tone of Western Red Cedar with the dry, reflective voice of Claro Walnut. In Michael’s hands, these two woods have truly become more than the sum of their parts. This is an instrument that plays effortlessly. It will interpret and sing and dance along with your slightest movements, sounding ample and satisfying and whole. The soundport really puts the player directly into the sound–which means you hear every shimmering, nuanced note that you play. It handles altered tunings like a champion, thanks to its slight Multiscale design with 25.39″ on the trebles and 26″ on the bass, but the 0.6″ difference is so slight that you never even notice it as you’re playing. Add to that a Macassar Ebony arm bevel for added player comfort, an elevated neck, and soundport, and you’ve got a guitar with every option available. This is the kind of guitar that, once picked up, simply won’t be put back down for a long, long time.

A 2020 build from Joel Michaud that’s already wide awake, dressed to the nines, and playing effortlessly? That’s what we’re fortunate enough to have in the shop today. Such a feat of modern lutherie. Amazon Rosewood back and sides, pencil straight and ruddy red, plus master grade Moonspruce on top and a multiscale design at 26 inches down to 25.4 inches, makes for an incredibly resonant fingerstyle guitar that’s equally at home in Standard as it is in DADGAD or C tunings. It’s the kind of guitar where even flubbed notes sound good. Additionally, Michaud added twin arm & rib bevels for creature comfort, and an eliptical soundport to boot. Plus EVO frets for longevity! And the cream on top is Joel’s addition of oxidized metal appointments at the rosette, headstock, and endgraft.
