Wow wow wow—most of us here at the shop are huge fans of guitarist Antoine Dufour. His axes of choice are those crafted by master builder Mario Beauregard, and when you hear a player like Antoine, it makes perfect sense that he’d want the most sonorous, versatile, and powerful instrument under his hands.
This 2018 OMC shows us exactly why Antoine chooses Mario’s work. Short scale at 25″, twelve frets to the body, insanely beautiful Redwood on top, and the king of tonewoods—Brazilian Rosewood—for the back and sides. The nut and saddle widths are both a bit wider, making this a fingerstyle dream: 1 13/16″ at the nut and 2 3/8″ at the saddle.
Redwood is famously known for ‘waking up’ after a few minutes of play, and while this guitar rips right out of the gate, give it a few minutes and it really blossoms. Expansive, sonorous, clear—this guitar has a special radiance that’s rarely captured as perfectly as it is here.

Blooming overtones and enough warmth in the mids to keep old bones comfortable on the coldest winter nights. Some guitars invite the player to bend closer and closer to the soundhole as you play, drawing you in with dynamic response across the strings and more and more colors within the harmonics. This Beauregard offers all that, plus a round and sparkling top end. Pretty much fingerstyle perfection, if you want warmth, complexity, and nuanced depth. 1 in stock
