Mario Beauregard’s touch with chisel and plane, sandpaper and file, is unparalleled. This 2018 Facettes Archtop 16″ is an absolute feat of modern lutherie! Sumptuously figured Maple back and sides, Spruce top, gold Lollar pickup with volume and tone at the pickguard; upper bout soundport; effortless playability and response. This instrument is like inspiration in wood form. Mario engineers the top with these arcing facets that feature subtle soundholes integrated into their centers–we can’t imagine how he pulls this off so well–which you’ll also find across the carved Maple back for continuity. Note how the pickguard descends to a point above the bridge, its outside edge matching the curves of the facets. Setup is butter smooth and slinky, and this 2018 Beauregard comes wrapped up in a custom Hoffee case for maximum protection.

Mario's Facettes is a brilliant and original take on the archtop guitar. Hand carved facets on the top and back are dramatic and the open ones on top act as the soundholes as well. Stunning and totally musical. Big energy and tone acoustic or plugged in.
This Facettes archtop is humbling to behold. Mario's craft is at the top of his field: every detail executed perfectly.
