2008 Henderson D-45, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
This is why we are called Dream Guitars, because of instruments like this. Here we have a Henderson D-45 in Premium quality Adirondack (Red) Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood, that has been revoiced by the godfather of modern fingerstyle guitar himself Ervin Somogyi. This is an ultimate example of two worlds meeting in the realm of lutherie. This dreadnought maintains its flatpicking, and robust quality all the while preserving that power in the hands of a fingerstyle player. This instrument is truly one of a kind, and an absolute masterpiece at that, for the player and collector alike.

Brand New C.F. Holcomb, 20th Anniversary, The Tree Mahogany
A very special 20th Anniversary Kodiak Resonator guitar from C.F. Holcomb, decked out in some of the finest Tree Mahogany we’ve ever seen. With a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bindings, this guitar is made from two of the most sought-after materials in the luthier world. But it doesn’t stop there—the custom acid etching and attention to detail are evident throughout the instrument. The pickup covers, resonator cap, and headplate are all adorned with Holcomb’s masterful work. The pickup is a Righteous Sound single coil, and the fingerboard features EVO frets that are sure to last a good long while.
Here’s an additional demo video featuring Dustin Furlow playing the classic Duane Allman tune “Little Martha”, plus our Duane Simpson plugging in for some fun, all on this incredible 20th Anniversary Holcomb Resonator! https://youtu.be/rI4-RdW_UPc

2018 Jang OM, Beeswing Cocobolo/Italian Alpine Spruce
Delicious. Rich, velvety, butter-smooth. We love this 2018 Jang OM from tuner to tail. The setup is that slinky sweet spot that’s perfect for fingerstyle in a range of tunings and easy on the hands with a 1 13/16” nut. Note clarity is exquisite; precision is the name of the game when it comes to this one’s voice. Then there’s the eye candy. Dramatically figured “Beeswing” Cocobolo back and sides—yes, please—paired with a creamy Italian Alpine Spruce top and Isaac’s Uchida-Style “Bendaway” cutaway, as well as a Subtle Manzer Wedge body contour, makes for a striking presentation that’s comfortable to boot. Red purflings set off the Spruce top and Ebony bindings, and gold Gotoh tuners round it out with Isaac’s distinctive two-tone headplate.

2018 Jang OM, Madagascar Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
The epitome of modern lutherie, this 2018 OM from Isaac Jang, made of Madagascar Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce, being 6 years old at the time of publication, has allowed for some excellent opening up of the Adirondack. Featuring all the qualities we know and love from Isaac’s work, including the Uchida-style bendaway, it offers not only a sleek aesthetic but also easy access to the fingerboard extension. This instrument has been well-played and well-cared-for. This guitar really speaks for itself.

2010 Keller Grand Concert, Brazilian Rosewood/Red Cedar
Originally sold by us back in 2010, this Grand Concert from Michael Keller has come full circle, returning to the shop 15 years later. Crafted from a lush set of Brazilian Rosewood and paired with a Red Cedar top, this guitar has opened up beautifully with time and play. The voice is wide open, articulate, and rich with overtones—everything we love about Cedar and Brazilian in concert together.
It comes equipped with a McIntyre Feather pickup system and travels in an Ameritage hardshell case. This Keller is ready for its next chapter with a new player.
From the late, great Al Petteway, who reviewed the guitar when we first listed it in 2010.
“Beautifully balanced and beautiful to look at as well, this guitar is a winner. The combination of a Cedar top with the Brazilian Rosewood back and sides gives this guitar a rich, clear tone that will appeal to most fingerstyle players.” https://youtu.be/DF2RdjN-hBk

2009 Keller Jumbo, African Blackwood/Engelmann Spruce
Michael Keller left behind an impressive body of work, just like this 2009 Jumbo. Offset soundholes and dual soundports make for a powerful bass response and responsiveness, and that coupled with over a decade of music under its belt makes for a wide awake and vivid voice. African Blackwood back and sides against Engelmann Spruce top; multi-laminated Mahogany neck with a slender profile; striking red purflings and MOP/Abalone throughout. This Keller Jumbo has been upfitted with a Fishman Matrix pickup as well.

2014 Keller Dreadnought, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
We recently lost Michael Keller, and the luthier community feels that loss keenly. So we’re delighted to have this 2014 Dreadnought in the shop to honor his memory and find a new home for it. Eight years old and waking up very nicely, the voice is open and expressive with great note separation. As a result, it’s at home with fingerpicking as well as of course flatpicking. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pair with Adirondack Spruce on top, Abalone trim and snowflakes/diamonds position markers–and Michael upgraded this Dread with a soundport in the upper bout side. This has the effect of giving the player a bit more “me in the monitor,” making it easier to hear your tone when playing with those pesky other musicians in the group. When you want to go electric, the installed Fishman Matrix Natural pickup will take you there.

Brand New Klein & Kauffman 426, Brazilian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce
2024 Klein & Kauffman 426, dressed in Brazilian Rosewood (a gorgeous three-piece back) and Sitka Spruce on top. The size of this guitar and scale length (25.5″) make one beg the question, “What more could a fingerstylist want from a guitar?” A complete and full-sounding large body acoustic, with a soundport, Klein’s signature bridge design, Evo frets, Gotoh tuners, and a rosewood neck. This guitar has a depth and fullness to the sound that is truly unique. Everyone here at the shop gets lost in it as soon as it is played. This guitar leaves nothing to be desired.

1997 Klein M-43, Maple/Spruce
This Klein M43 from 1997 offers a subtle glimpse into what Klein & Kauffman guitars are renowned for today. This variation features an offset soundhole, which creates an even more unique sonic soundscape with this instrument. Wielding it feels powerful; hearing it is moving, and looking at it encompasses both of those experiences. The Maple back and sides exhibit extreme chatoyance, reminiscent of looking into the bottom of a swimming pool in summer. The spruce top has aged just as finely in sound as it has in hue. But enough of us gushing over this—listen to the sample and watch the video for yourself. Brace yourself.

1996 Klein L457 Mushrooms Brazilian Rosewood/Spruce
Klein & Kaufman crafted this beast in 1996. An absolute stunning set of Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides, with a gorgeous Spruce top. This guitar has had nearly 30 years of play at time of publication, and it certainly lets you know. All of the characteristics that we know and love about Klein & Kaufman guitars are present in this build. Powerful bass, and trebles that truly stand out. You’ll notice that there is something funky about this particular instrument, funky? Fungal? Ah yes, there are beautiful abalone mushrooms filling in the fingerboard and headplate. This is such a unique and singular piece that it made its way into the book “The Guitar” by Nick Freeth and Charles Alexander. These guitars are beloved by many famous wielders of the axe! Steve Martin, Joni Mitchell and Andy Summers to name a few. If you’re looking for an incredibly inspirational instrument as well as an exciting addition to any collection–look no further.

2018 Klein 457, Brazilian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
Taking this 2018 457 for a spin, and you lose track of time right out of the gate. This big boy fills your lap and vibrates your chest at first strum, and quickly sets the room to vibrating with the force of its voice. This 457 is a fantastic example of the expansive, enveloping, sonorous Klein sound—with some top shelf upgrades to set it apart. Mouth-watering gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood back and sides (chocolate-dark and black ink lines) with Spruce on top and a multiscale setup oof 26 1/4” on the bass and 25 1/8” on the treble. Moreover, the neck, bridge, and fingerboard are all also Brazilian Rosewood—this neck is a special rarity, and adds smooth sustain to the midrange that really helps fills out the voice. The expansive 18” lower bout loves, loves, loves to tune down to altered tuning territory (Cadd9) is a particular sweet spot.

2023 Knaggs Chena, Mahogany/Koa
2023 Knaggs Chena—an exceptional hollowbody with a voice all its own. Outfitted with Bareknuckle Mules (PAF-style humbuckers), a striking Koa top, and Mahogany body and neck, this Chena is anything but ordinary. Think of it as a thinline Les Paul crossed with a hollowbody: lightweight, endlessly expressive, and a joy to play. It moves easily between sweet, articulate tones and rich, singing sustain. Whether you’re leaning into jazz or stretching out in a jam band setting, this Chena offers tone and feel for days.

The voice is classic Kostal: strong bass register, wide open response, perfect for modern fingerstyle.
