Luthier Paul Daniel McGill is known for his creative designs inside and out on his guitars. This guitar is a celebration of his 25th year of building. Dubbed the Picasso it is certainly creative and unique like it’s namesake. The offset cutaway and soundhole offer an artistic facade and the voice is as bold as the look. The 7 fan bracing produces thunderous bass and soaring trebles with Paul’s trademark clarity throughout. The back & sides are rare and stunning African Blackwood with dramatic sapwood sections. This wood adds beauty for the ear as well for the eye. The top is lovely German Spruce with strong silking and a mature patina. A true work of art!

Superb in every way. This guitar is artistic in every detail, from the offset cutaway, unique soundhole and original headstock shape. But it's the tone that is really magical, rarely have we heard such energy and responsiveness in a classical guitar. It's truly awe-inspiring. But it's not just strong, the African Blackwood and the German Spruce join together for a rich, inviting tone that is rich, sumptuous and strong. Every string behaves as expected so you can focus on emotion. This is a true concert quality instrument, special in voice and character
This one of my favorites. It's responsive and balanced wiith that extra energy waiting behind every note. A special guitar for sure.
