Such a powerful example of modern lutherie. The voice of this brand new Rein RJN-3 is exceptionally clear and smooth, with a lovely balance across the registers. Port Orford Cedar top pairs with Macassar Ebony back and sides (with dramatic dark and light bands of alternating grain); Tom’s ingenious adjustable neck angle system; Mahogany neck with a generous C profile carve and EVO frets. The PO Cedar is french polished for maximum resonance, and elsewhere Tom used a catalyzed urethane finish for a bit extra protection. A glossy neck never felt so smooth! If you’re looking for a guitar that’s responsive to a T, and well adapted to a range of tunings, this Rein RJN-3 is the one for you.

Thomas Rein is one of the few makers that builds both classical guitars and steel string guitars, and each style informs the other. I feel like makers that excel at both have a different quality to the steel strings, a bit more breath, a bit more depth and beauty. This is one such a guitar. 
Tom Rein puts the master touch on this lovely number RJN-3. Ebony plus PO Cedar makes for clarity, smoothness, and a deliciously articulate responsiveness. I’m in love. Plus an adjustable neck system to keep the setup perfect!
