2018 McElroy Generation 2.1 Standard Model, Claro Walnut/Adirondack Spruce
Brent McElroy’s 2018 Generation 2.1 Standard Model is a powerhorse (that’s the intersection of powerhouse and workhorse) dressed to the nines with Adirondack Spruce on top, Claro Walnut back and sides, and a gorgeous Amboyna Burl rosette. The voice here is characterized by a dry, woody response that fires right off the top with a quick decay that makes for added clarity on those fast passages. A pinless Ebony bridge with bone saddle helps more efficiently activate the Adi top, and makes for effortless string changes to boot. The neck is finished in satin for an old-pair-of-jeans kind of feel in hand with a slim profile for easy fretability.

Brent McElroy describes his philosophy of guitar building as a balance between tone, strength, playability and beauty. From where we sit he’s hitting on all cylinders. For years we’ve heard great things about Brent but just not had one in the shop. We just received 2 and we are thrilled with both. This Standard Model has a wonderful understated beauty and elegantly simple appointments. It’s crafted from Indian Rosewood and Adirondack Red Spruce making it classic and versatile. Brent achieves the rare combination of power and sheer beauty of tone, with wonderful bass response paired with high-end shimmer. The Amboyna Burl Rosette makes a stunning centerpiece for this superb McElroy guitar.

Brent McElroy describes his philosophy of guitar building as a balance between tone, strength, playability and beauty. From where we sit he’s hitting on all cylinders. For years we’ve heard great things about Brent but just not had one in the shop. We just received 2 and we are thrilled with both. This unique guitar is a 12 fretter with the soundhole centered in the waist of the guitar. From its Claro Walnut and Spruce body comes a deep resonant voice with spectacular highs and more bass then the size let’s on. It’s very easy to hold and to play, the 24.9″ scale insures easy string tension. An elegant and very musical guitar.

I am a self taught luthier and began building in 1995. I seek a perfect balance between tone, strength, playability and beauty, guitars with superior balance in volume and tone, separation and sustain, with a powerful and unique presence. This is my approach to guitar building. Solid craftsmanship combined with art, built primarily with the musician in mind. I enjoy creating guitars that are beautiful, and strong to give years and years of enjoyment. I want my guitars to be around long after I am gone.
