With a fundamental that’s profoundly rich and glassy playability, this 1989 Classical from Paul Jacobson stands as a resounding testament to Jacobson’s skills. Over 20 years old, this instrument sings with a powerfully opened-up voice that is characterized by an aggressive bass register and trebles with the perfect amount of pop to linger in the air for long seconds. Once she’s in your hands, it won’t take long for you to realize just how easy it is to go from silence to thunder: the responsiveness is crisp, and the projection fierce.
Featuring some seriously straight-grained Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides and Cedar for the top, this Jacobson is in splendid shape for its age and has been properly played in and opened up. Special additions include: the high C 20th fret for the treble E string, a 660mm scale, and an Everest hardshell case. This Jacobson is ready for many more years of music–it won’t linger long!

Add to Compare2006 Jacobson Classical Indian/Cedar
Built in 2006, this Jacobson Classical has seen countless hours on stage and in the practice hall, all the while opening up more and more fully, becoming louder and better defined with each successful performance. Now, a decade later this Classical has graduated from firecracker to mortar shell: the sheer volume is impressive, especially considering the Cedar top and Indian Rosewood body!
The voice is expansive and expressive, with a quick response and trebles that absolutely shimmer. With the oil-finished neck, this Jacobson feels familiar as on old friend in your hands, and has a glass-smooth setup that makes blazing fast passages a breeze. Sometimes there’s a faint line between a guitar which has been played in and one which hasn’t, but this 2006 Jacobson doesn’t subscribe to that at all: the voice has an easy richness and clarity to it that we’d normally expect only on a guitar twice its age. Looking for that delightfully opened-up voice with all the trimmings of projection, sustain, and playability? Look no further: your dream date has arrived.

Add to Compare1985 Jacobson Classical Brazilian/European
This Paul Jacobson classical has the quintessential Spanish tone: clear and even. The combination of bold, resonant Brazilian Rosewood and strong, articulate European Spruce is phenomenal, and clearly demonstrates why the two are industry favorites. Craftsmanship of this level is not often achieved; every detail has been been executed impeccably. The playability is perfect for the concert musician with string spacing perfect for your left hand.
This is a brilliant guitar that transports the player back to the age of Segovia, rich and vibrant, and comes wrapped up in a Hoffee flight case for maximum protection.

Add to Compare2000 Jacobson Classical Indian/Engelmann
Paul Jacobson doesn’t hold back with the details that make a guitar a great guitar. Some of the things that set this one apart are superb rosewood and spruce, a neck that is reinforced with Graphite epoxy to help resist warping. A fingerboard extension that allows for a high C. The twist plane in the fret surface creates a treble-to-bass string height differential to minimize adjacent fret buzzing. The nut and saddle are custom compensated at each inidividual string position for accurate intonation. The top is finished with a gloss varnish and the neck is finished with hand-rubbed penetrating oil. It also comes with a deluxe hardshell case has an arched back and lid, making it highly crush resistant. Just listen to the recordings and you’ll understand how beautiful and refined this Jabobson guitar sounds, it’s lovely.

From 2016, this PRS DGT Semi-Hollow has flown into our shop, and what a mighty bird of prey it is! Part of their “Guitar of the Month” series, this is one of twenty for the month of April. It’s in commemoration of the PRS Private Stock’s twentieth anniversary, and they certainly pulled out all the stops in celebration. African Ribbon Mahogany for the back, and Ziricote on top. The fingerboard also features the “birds of a feather” inlay, but these are just a few things that set this guitar apart. It is a semi-hollow DGT “David Grissom Trem,” which is rare enough in and of itself. This guitar has all the tone and aesthetic one could want. Whether you’re a PRS acolyte, a collector, or even an electric guitar enthusiast, this guitar is for you.

Add to Compare2014 PRS Tonare Grande, The Tree Mahogany/Adirondack Spruce
There’s Private Stock, and then there’s Private Stock. This 2014 Tonare Grande is what happens when all the stops are pulled. The Tree Mahogany body with Red Spruce on top for starters, and then the Private Stock team outfitted it with a tree of life and celtic knot motif in premium materials ranging from 14K gold to several species of Abalone and even Red Coral. The result is perfectly balanced against such gorgeous tonewoods for an awe-inspiring viewing experience. On the acoustic front, this PRS has a unique blend of warmth in the mids and dry, quick trebles that really sings out when you lean in with a more aggressive attack. PRS’s proprietary PRS Acoustic Pickup System carries all that faithfully onto the stage.

Add to Compare2015 PRS Paul’s Guitar, Mahogany/Maple Artist Top
When famed guitarbuilder Paul Reed Smith builds a guitar for himself, you’d better believe we’re listening. Here we’ve landed an exquisite example of the PRS Paul’s Guitar: McCarty-thickness body with narrow 408 pickups, “brushstroke” bird inlays, and here spec’d with a tremolo bridge design. Smith needed a guitar with a tighter sound to cut through a band mix without taking up too much space, hence the narrow 408 pickups. Pickup selection is a three-way switch plus individual coil-split mini toggles, one for each pickup. The result is a wide range of tones right at hand all the time. This beauty comes further customized with an Quilted Maple Artist Top over Mahogany body and a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard.

Add to Compare2015 PRS Private Stock Angelus, Madagascar Rosewood/European Bearclaw Spruce
The PRS team has their process dialed in: this 2015 Private Stock Angelus is flawless from tuners to tail, well balanced from bass to treble, and dressed up with primo tonewoods for a sharp aesthetic. Madagascar Rosewood back and sides boast some pretty dramatic figuring, paired with European Spruce on top plus figured Koa bindings and bird position markers. The rosette is their interweaving “three circle” design, also rendered in Koa plus Maple. The top has some lovely bearclaw figuring throughout, which works well against the tight flame of the Koa bindings. The neck has been upgraded with an adjustable truss rod, which certainly sets this one apart, and a wide neck carve that feels great in hand, especially if you want a little more lefthand contact. Under the hood you’ll find a Fishman Matrix pickup system; outside you’ll find this beauty comes wrapped up in a custom Ameritage case.

Add to Compare2013 PRS Private Stock Cody Kilby, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Ricky Skaggs’ right hand guitar man with Kentucky Thunder, Cody Kilby, here teams up with the PRS Private Stock team on a powerhouse signature model that’s balanced to a T and handsomely wide awake. This beauty comes to us from 2013 and has opened up nicely, with jaw-dropping Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and Adirondack Spruce on top. The sides are shorter than PRS’s standard dimensions, making this guitar even more comfortable in hand, and the setup is delightfully effortless. Gives your fingers wings! Speaking of which, Kilby opted for Abalone position markers reminiscent of old school banjos rather than the more common PRS birds. Lastly, the PRS acoustic pickup array has been included with a volume knob inside the soundhole.
