Playing this guitar is bliss. Mario Beauregard is undoubtedly one of the finest luthiers working today for fingerstyle players. His instruments are the trifecta of playability, projection, and clarity. This 2005 OM is all that and more, from the beautiful Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and German Spruce top to the glassy setup. Regardless of tuning or attack, fingerstyle or flatpicked, this Beauregard offers up a velvet-rich response. Bass notes are enveloping, and treble overtones hang in the air for long seconds. The tone remains balanced at all times, even if played with an aggressive attack, and pours its sweet honey over your every note. This Beauregard could mean the end of your collection: it’s capable of anything, so why would you ever want to play anything else?

Clarity is the word that comes to mind when I play this guitar. Mario has been a long time friend of our shop, and one of the finest luthiers to come out of Ervin Somogyi’s apprenticeship program years ago. The classic combination of Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce seems to always produce a responsive and refined guitar capable of many moods and genres. Mario knows how to make a guitar play beautifully as he himself is a player. This one will satisfy anyone’s wishes.
