- Description
-
Fine riches sometimes come in small packages. None more so than this Blanchard Pinyon from 2001. The petite proportions (14 inches across the lower bout) bely a rich, dynamic voice that blooms sweetly at even a light touch. Curly Eastern Black Walnut back and sides provide clarity, and a Coastal Redwood top warms up the tone like hot chocolate on a winter’s night. 12 frets to the neck further adds warmth and color. The playability is silk-smooth, and this Blanchard handles a range of tunings very well, indeed. The headplate has been upgraded with a bookmatched Brazilian Rosewood veneer bound in Curly Maple. The whole package weighs in under four pounds, which you notice immediately upon picking it up out of the custom Cedar Creek case.
We love it when a small guitar has a big voice, and this Pinyon pulls no punches. Take this single-owner prize home!

This is a great small body guitar. The voice is strong and warm, and it has the character of a Mahogany guitar in that the bass has a big push and the Redwood makes the treble strings juicy.
