1995 Paul McGill Concert Classical, Indian Rosewood/Spruce
Paul McGill’s Concert Classical number 160 comes to us from 1995 but has been well preserved and is in excellent condition. Indian Rosewood body with Spruce top, 650mm scale, six hole tieblock with a drop in saddle, and a slim playing weight of 3.5lbs. Additionally, the fingerboard features subtle side dots at the 5th, 7th, and 9th frets for easier lefthand orienteering.

Whoever said Koa doesn’t have depth and power hasn’t played this A69c Custom McIlroy. Not only does this all-Koa guitar pack some serious heft into the voice with a quick and lively string energy, but it manages to do so while looking good at the same time. Sycamore bindings plus Abalone rosette, top trim, and position markers are an excellent complement to the figured Koa, and the pinless bridge ties it all together. Additionally, this A69c has the added distinction of being McIlroy’s 1200th guitar–no small feat. If you want lots of power in an easy-playing package, it’s hard to go wrong with this 2019 A69c.

All the way from Ireland, this brand new McNally OM with Honduran Rosewood back and sides and Swiss Spruce top has got us all excited here at Dream Guitars. It is truly rare to see the meeting of two worlds in the realm of guitar be executed so well on every level: this guitar has obvious roots in traditional design, but also expands into the explorative nature of modern building. The satin finish feels sweet in hand, and doesn’t look too shabby either. Minimalist appointments allow the natural beauty and qualities of the guitar to speak for themselves. Pure magic.

And now for a slice of something different, modern, and sustainable. Joel Michaud of Michaud Made has teamed up with the producers of Rocklite for a new material they’re calling Sundari Rocklite, or synthetic Indian Rosewood. The result is a more sustainable use of Rosewood for guitars that also has the added benefit of being extra stable. On top Joel used Swiss Spruce, and the two combine for a sweetly balanced tone that adds a touch of roundness in the trebles. Gorgeous Robson tuners at the headstock, and between the posts you’ll find a unique oxidized metal inlay that echoes Joel’s über cool metal rosette. We simply love the use of oxidized metal here; it adds a splash of dramatic color and very much sets it apart from the Abalone crowds. Being a 00 body, this Michaud is very comfortable in hand and play effortlessly, helped by a florentine cutaway, elevated fingerboard, and upper bout soundport. Built in 2019 and looking the part!

From 1987 we have a John Monteleone Hotclub. This is one of those guitars that teaches you to never judge it by its appearance. This axe appears to do one thing, but in all actuality, it does most of the things, and it does them exceedingly well. As you will no doubt hear in our demo, this is a consummate jazz guitar. However, it really transcends any genre or styling. It’s complete, it’s complex, it’s surprising. Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides, Engelmann Spruce on top—and of course, a healthy dose of the alchemy of time. This guitar is just insanely good. Listen and look for yourself. WOW.

To sum up this brand new 2017 Mountain Song Odalisque from Ken Jones in a few words: rich dynamism, ringing clarity, finely honed and opened up. Commissioned by one of our longtime clients, Odalisque #023 has every feature under the sun short of multiple necks or a multiscale fingerboard. No, really: dual bevels for the player’s arm and ribs, upper bout soundport, Tiger Myrtle back and sides, French Polished Moonspruce top, and an impressive display of Larry Robinson’s gifts as an inlay artist in the form of a fresh perspective on the traditional Tree of Life fretboard inlay. First Ken designed the Tree, then Larry executed it in fine style with Tiger Myrtle, gold and white Mother-Of-Pearl, and silver resin at the centers of the blossoms.
Acoustically, this Odalisque offers haunting clarity and the kind of immediate response that’s usually only found on completely opened up vintage instruments. The treble strings possess a bell-like color, and exhibit a delicious bloom after the initial attack which really fleshes out the sustain. Dropped tunings are bread and butter for this Odalisque; the bass fundamental is well-defined and really pops even when dropped down to C tunings. Frankly, it’s just a pleasure to play this guitar! From the Brazilian Rosewood bridge plate to the span of Robinson’s inlays across the fretboard, this Odalisque from Ken Jones is a study of lutherie’s finest points: resonance, response, and beauty.
