This 2015 Sheppard Ave Maria Grand Concert is smooth, smooth, smooth. With the back and sides, Sheppard reminds us what Brazilian Rosewood is all about–the pinnacle of majestic, sweeping tonality. With a Swiss Spruce top thrown into the mix, this GC shows off trebles with are well-defined and bass which is rolling and expressive. Sheppard’s mastery of the craft is obvious in the perfect fit and finish, the lower bout soundport, and the arm and cutaway bevels, which are smooth, arcing, and supremely comfortable. Fingerstylists, this is the guitar you’ve been dreaming about ever since you first put fingertip to string–the articulation is profound, the string-to-string balance pianistic.

Guitars that sound this good should be illegal, because they make everything else look so wan in comparison! Seriously though, this is one of the most resonant and responsive Sheppards I've ever played--and the sustain! The panoply of overtones hangs in the air for a great many long seconds. 
Beautiful workmanship and stunning woods are what this guitar is all about. Fingerstyle players and strummers alike will enjoy this one. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
