Our latest and greatest from John McQuarrie of Northwood Guitars is a well-oiled machine characterized by glassy play feel and a crisp, clear, and articulate voice. It’s a brand new beauty with Madagascar Rosewood back and sides with Austrian Moonspruce on top, Koa bindings, Fossilized Mammoth Ivory nut & saddle, and a lovely bluejay inlay at the heelcap to top it all off. The Mahogany neck is finished in a delicious satin touch that’s friction free in hand, and really lends an effortless air to the setup. This 12 Fret 000 is a well-rounded workhorse for fingers and for picks, and part of that is from the 25.5” scale that adds some extra bite to the trebles to tighten up the warm 000 body response.

This is our first brand new guitar from Northwood. John McQuarrie is an experienced maker many of you will know, but if you've not had a chance to play one you owe it to yourself to try it. The sound to me is a combination of vintage American along with a bright, crisp Canadian sound. This one is very energetic already, no need to wait for it to open up. | Scale Length | 25.5 in |
