Add to CompareBrand New Steve Porter Quantum, Indian Rosewood/Cedar
Our latest Steve Porter Quantum Classical! Built with a nod to both Thomas Humphrey and Gil Carnal in design, Porter’s Quantum model features an elevated fingerboard and dual soundports, a lattice-braced Cedar top, and dark, even-grained Indian Rosewood back and sides. The handmade rosette is composed of Ebony, Bloodwood, Cherry, and Maple. The voice is agile and responsive, and we appreciate the dynamic range in particular. Sloane tuners and a thin French Polish finish for maximum resonance—and a sterling side dot at the 7th fret for understated fingerboard orienteering.

Add to CompareBrand New Porter Quantum Classical, Indian Rosewood/Carpathian Spruce
This is our first Classical from California-based luthier Steve Porter—and it won’t be the last! Adopting some of Gil Carnal’s tried-and-true techniques for his own builds, Porter manages to carve out a voice with fierce projection married with a smooth responsiveness and note separation. Clarity is the name of the game here; this Quantum Classical has the easy, breathy richness of a much older, opened up guitar.
Porter achieves this with Balsa braces reinforced with carbon fiber along the top and a suspended cross bar and more carbon fiber rods to tie it all together. With a thin French Polish finish to keep things as resonant as possible, and a cantilevered fretboard extension (ditto for minimal top impedance), and twin soundports flanking the heel, this guitar is both loud and clear. It doesn’t hurt that the top is a creamy set of Carpathian Spruce, or that the back and sides are light-chocolate Indian Rosewood. To make sure the soundports weren’t giving the player a false sense of the guitar’s projection and dynamism, we tested this beauty with an extra set of hands to cover the soundports. The voice remained expansive and balanced. We then compared the instrument’s tone with the guitar in our lap to the voice as heard from ten feet away. Ditto on expansiveness and balance.
This 2017 Concert Classical from Steve Porter already speaks beyond its years, and there’s only one direction to go from here: up.

Add to CompareNew Posch DS Hormigo/Adirondack
Leo Posch builds excellent guitars in the tradition of the great mid-century Gibsons and pre-war Martins, and this slope-shouldered Dreadnought exemplifies his dedication to the great tone embodied in those classic instruments. The Adirondack Spruce used here is an essential ingredient in achieving that tone, and the Hormigo Leo uses for back and sides imparts a flavor somewhere between Mahogany and Rosewood. The result is all the classic tone and playability of a pre-war Dread, with a slightly modern twist. The twelve-fret design places the bridge further back in the lower bout, sweetening the bass response and providing greater volume.

Add to CompareNew Posch CLG (L-0) Mahogany/Adirondack
Leo Posch has a great reputation for building guitars that are inherently old souls. Somehow he can craft guitars today that you’d swear are 50-100 years old. This model CLG, 0 size guitar is a great example. Mahogany and Adirondack Spruce with no bindings, just a great smokey sunburst and lots of attitude. The instant we played this guitar we could hear the great old Gibson L-0 voice, only this one plays perfectly up the entire neck and has a straight neck and tuners that work perfectly. So you get the best of what’s vintage and none of the hassles. This is a killer blues or rag guitar, but of course it can do anything you put into it. Great little beast…

Add to Compare2008 Posch LP-D18 Cuban Mahogany/Adirondack
We played our first Posch last year and we immediately called Leo and invited him to send us guitars any time. He is a maker with a keen sense of how to capture the vintage lure of the best D-18 Martin has ever made. This guitar, like the last, sounds and feels like a 70 year old guitar even though it’s new. No small feat. The Cuban Mahogany body, which is the densest Mahogany, has a voice that is loud and powerful but also deep and rich. This one is a cannon that will clearly continue to grow into a monster guitar. This one is barely preowned, it’s owned by Leo Posch and comes with a full warranty.

Add to ComparePosch D-18 Mahogany/Adirondack
Across America there are some great Luthiers that live under the radar. They focus on repair primarily but also build some truly fine instruments and their insight from the repair world informs their building in wonderful ways. Leo Posch is one of these great luthiers. Working in Kansas, Leo runs a very successful repair business and has a loyal following of players that clammer for the few guitars he builds. This D-18 is a cannon, absolutely one of the loudest and sweetest sounding Mahogany/Adirondack dreads you’ll find anywhere. We love it. The Adirondack is wide grained like some of the best old Martins and it beautifully constructed. Flatpickers and strummers alike will absolutely love this one and fingerstyle players will also since it has a 1 3/4″ nut.

Wide open, singing all the way to the back of the music hall, and looking the part of the road worn and road tested. This 2016 Slope Shoulder from the Pre-War Guitar Co. is exciting, easy to play, and just plain old fun. Mahogany back and sides with Torrefied Adirondack Spruce top, nitro finish, and a level three distress job to make it look the part of a proper vintage piece–add a round C neck and slim weight (under four pounds), and you’ve got a livewire itching to go.

Add to Compare2019 Pre-War 000 Herringbone, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
The folks at Pre-War Guitar Co. have carved out a particular niche for themselves with their old-school builds that are relic’d to match. Part of that recipe includes torrefied materials across the board, hide glue construction methods, and 1930s specs, and the rest feels like blood, sweat, and tears. This 000 Herringbone from 2019 is decked out with lovely Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Torrefied Adirondack Spruce top (as well as braces), and the trademark 000 short scale setup that’s easy on the hands and warms up the trebles. A distress level of 1.5 has also been applied, rendering some honest-looking play wear into the wood at the soundhole and pickguard, as well as the usual finish checking and crazing throughout. The original relic’d Waverly right angle tuners have been swapped for banjo-style tuners, but the originals are included as part of the sale. The voice on this one is wide, wide open—super energetic and expressive like a true prewar guitar ought to be!

Add to Compare2017 Pre-War Guitars Co. 000-28, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
The next best thing to owning a pre-war Martin: the Pre-War Guitar Co. 000-28. This is our first Pre-War in the shop, and we’re excited to announce it’s surpassed all of our expectations, which were pretty high to begin with. Wes Lambe and Ben Maschal have teamed up to produce new guitars with all the airiness, volume, and presence of the rare pre-war Martins—guitars which won’t be locked away in a collection, gathering dust, but played out in musician’s hands where they belong. This 2017 000-28 features Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce with their “new old stock” level of distress, looking minty as a well-loved 80-year-old penny. There’s faint finish checking and some light scratches on the pickguard, as well as a “finish repair” on the lower bout to give it that superb vintage flair. This guitar responds so well to fingertips and flatpicks, we had Allen Shadd do an additional demo to demonstrate how beautifully it plays for Bluegrass and beyond!
We’re impressed, Pre-War Guitar Co., but hardly surprised: this is exactly what a vintage 000-28 is supposed to sound like.Other keywords: lutherie, 000, 28-style, distressed guitar, prewar, pre war, herringbone
