Michael Hornick has been building under the name of Shanti Guitars for years, continually churning out a number of powerhouse flattops. We don’t see them come up often on the used market—and there’s a reason for that: these guitars are powerful, responsive, and really know how to fill a room. This SF model from 2011 is just that, too. Gorgeous African Blackwood back and sides are paired with German Spruce and a generous lower bout (just over 16 inches); chock full of projection, and a crisp, well-defined bass register. Trebles are smooth and even, pairing nicely with the mids and bottom end. We had a great time visiting with this one in DADGAD. Venetian Cutaway for creature comfort, and Hornick added a soundport to the upper bout to help you key in to your playing, even in a busy space. Curly Koa bindings tie it all together, and this Shanti SF comes wrapped in a Hoffee flight case for maximum protection.

Here's a beautiful example of African Blackwood and German Spruce on a SF model from Michael Hornick of Shanti Guitars. The bass response is very crisp and cuts well through the mix, and I love Michael's smaller soundport in the upper bout. It gives the player a little extra in their ear without giving a false impression of the tone. Plus this one comes in an excellent Hoffee flight case.
