Power and purr in equal measure. Lance McCollum really knew how to build ‘em. This Grand Auditorium comes to us from 1999, and that’s given it plenty of time to open up. And up, and up! Lots of power and projection under the hood, but notes have a smooth definition to them that makes the voice so sweet. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pair up with European Spruce on top with a long scale setup at 25 3/4” to add extra pow! to those bass strings. Our repair gurus have just dressed the frets, and it plays like grass-fed butter. It’ll take equally well to both fingertips and picks to boot. There’s even an L.R. Baggs Lyric pickup system to carry it straight up to the stage.

Lance was a personal friend of mine and a wonderful builder. We lost him too early, but he left behind a legacy of incredible and inspiring instruments. This one has one of the most perfect strumming sounds I’ve ever heard and it has a very sweet fingerstyle voice as well. A great guitar, a great man. 
Opened up so handsomely--the voice has that easy, relaxed breathiness that only comes with age. | Scale Length | 25.75 in |
