2016 Beauregard OMC, Brazilian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce
Mario Beauregard is renowned as one of the greatest modern luthiers, and this guitar is a shining example of why. When legends like Antoine Dufour and Calum Graham use your instruments, there can hardly be a better testament or endorsement of the quality of your work. Equipped with a K&K Trinity pickup system, this instrument is ready for any application. With its short scale and wide string spacing, this guitar is a modern player’s dream. The back and sides feature some of the finest Brazilian rosewood we’ve ever seen, paired with European spruce on top, showcasing epic medullary rays. It also includes a segmented burl and abalone rosette, and a Venetian cutaway. This is the crème de la crème.

A smooth operator from tuners to tail. This brand new MB model from Mario Beauregard is our first new build in a while, and it’s so good to be working together! The MB is a curvaceous, effortless, gorgeous approach to modern electric guitarbuilding, from the über curved sides to the carved Maple back and Spruce top, minimalist F holes, and Duneland Labs humbucker. Gold EVO frets ensure the setup will be smooth and clear for a long time to come; weighing under six pounds, you hardly tell it’s there. The back and sdies are carved from solid master grade Bigleaf Maple, and blends perfectly with the solid Spruce top and Maple neck thanks to a light amber honeyed finish. The pickup features a custom hammered cover that adds excitement to the svelte aesthetics, here mated with an Ebony pickguard/finger rest with included volume and tone knobs underneath.

Where to begin with this absolute stunner? Brand new from the workshop of modern-day sound alchemists, Casimi Guitars.

Every Casimi is a singular creation—no two are alike, and each one is an immersive experience in craftsmanship, sound, and vision.
Look, listen, and enjoy this modern marvel of lutherie—it’s not just a guitar, it’s a statement.

John Slobod, you slay us. This 2024 000-28 is such an incredible piece, and it’s practically brand new.

SOLD Add to cartScale Length 25.5 in Nut Width 1.75 in String Spacing 2.28 in Woods Cedar - Sinker, Ebony - Macassar Brand New De Wit Modified Dreadnought, Narra/Bearclaw German Spruce
Our first guitar from Gjis De Wit packs a punch. His Modified Dreadnought body, here rendered with florentine cutaway and angled bindings, plays great and has a voice equal parts power and articulation. It’s an excellent choice for fingerstyle play, or strumming when you need chords to remain crisp and clear. The multiscale setup is 26-25” with a unique fanning that makes the first position feel like a standard fretboard. Back and sides are gorgeously figured Narra, paired with Bearclaw German Spruce on top. The neck is actually Padauk, but Gjis has veneered its length in Ebony—ditto for the Spanish Cedar bridge—which creates a great contrast to the Narra/Spruce color scheme. De Wit painstakingly inlaid the headstock, heel, and bindings with a geometric motif, and installed premium Alessi tuners for added class. Additionally, the veneered bridge features individual phosphor bronze saddles for each string. All of this comes wrapped up in a swanky custom Art Case dressed up with leather—a fitting house for a well-dressed guitar. Interested in taking this one for a spin? Give us a shout!

A brand spanking new 00 from the one and only Julian Gaffney. Julian’s guitars have always been showstoppers here at the shop. His meticulous attention to detail and artistry is undeniable. The use of dyed burl as inlay material really sets Julian apart from other modern luthiers. Dramatic Cocobolo for the back and sides, and Swiss Spruce on top. This instrument has a robust sound and feel to it, with wide specs for the nut to allow for the most optimal left-hand access to all the pitches one could create with this creature. Brazilian Rosewood for the bridge and bridge pins.
Once again, this is an area in which Julian Gaffney shines. In our world, the headstock profile and bridge design are quite literally a builder’s calling cards. Here, Julian shows he is among the most unique and easily distinguished in the world of modern lutherie. It doesn’t stop with aesthetics. Most new guitars, quite frankly, sound new—they haven’t existed out in the world enough to be seasoned and they need breaking in. This beast, however, does not. Out of the case, this instrument sings. Full-bodied sound, significantly outpacing its size in volume. This guitar is a complete experience for both player and listener alike.

Baggs Element pickup is installed, so it’s ready for the stage as well. Features include a slothead and herringbone trim.

We’re excited for the chance to offer you a dynamite custom archtop from the venerable Brian Kingston of Prince Edward Island, Canada. AAA European Curly Maple back and sides paired with a hand carved Haida Gwaii Sitka Spruce top (bearing gorgeous and rare flamed figuring), bound F holes, and an exquisite sunburst in ambers, yellows, and browns across both neck and body. A generous 17 inches across the lower bout with a play weight of six pounds, this Kingston feels solid in hand, with a glossy neck profile and upper bout soundport to boot. A custom Seymour Duncan pickup with volume and tone knobs under the pickguard carries this beauty faithfully into amplified territory, but it’s equally at home as an acoustic archtop with a crisp treble definition and articulate midrange. Brian built this one in 2018 for the shows, and we’re proud to offer it now as a new instrument with a little age to liven up the voice.

Steve Klein and Steve Kauffman continue to push the envelope, and after so many years they’re still finding new ways to do so. This 2020 396L is their smaller body they’ve been building for years, and with the L designation they slimmed the sides here for a more intimately proportioned Klein. The tone has an added dose of energy and quickness as a result, among other things. Indian Rosewood back and sides are paired with Engelmann Spruce on top, a light sunburst to boot, and their latest iteration of the side access panel—this time with magnets, it hinges at the center when pressed from the treble side, granting you instant access to the interior for string changes (note the string through bridge here), pickup modification, the works. All wrapped up in a custom Ameritage case that protects well and looks good while it’s at it.

Velvet to our ears. This 2015 Kraut 00 is stunning, a testament to modern lutherie and small bodied guitars with big bodied tone. Figured Birdseye Maple back and sides, Italian Spruce on top, and this one features Ray’s elevated fingerboard, which you’ll see actually goes through the top. In excellent condition, this Kraut has sweet, warm trebles that cut right through the mix, and pairs handsomely with a lively, balanced bass response. It’s an excellent fingerstyle instrument, hands down. Alessi tuners, Ebony bindings, and a Hoffee flight case round out the package. We love Ray’s geometric eye when it comes to his rosettes, and the headstock cap here is no exception, perfectly executed.

SOLD Add to cartScale Length 24.75 in Nut Width 1.75 in String Spacing 2.25 in Woods Spruce - Italian, Maple - Birdseye Brand New Laskin Klimt, Mun Ebony/Adirondack Spruce
Every guitar that comes from Grit Laskin is truly a work of art, and this is an ultimate example of that trend. Dedicated to the work of Gustav Klimt, it features “The Woman in Gold” (Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I) on the fingerboard. Grit Laskin flawlessly recreates the motif of this painting onto the fingerboard, using real gold in the inlay, true to Klimt’s style. The headplate of this Grand Auditorium guitar also features a recreation of “The Kiss.” Truly an exceptional work of art, this guitar, in classic Laskin fashion, could live in a gallery but also has a place in the studio. Laskin’s legendary arm and rib bevels outline the curves of this instrument, along with a sound port and a mosaic-style rosette, signifying a Grit Laskin masterpiece. This instrument has an Adirondack Spruce soundboard and Mun Ebony for the back and sides. The level of artistic contrast on this instrument is on full display with the back and sides, making it as socially enrapturing as it is visually.
