Leo Buendia is at the top of his game, and the top of our list of favorite builders—this 2019 Modified Dreadnought is top of the line. Leo’s finest Brazilian Rosewood sets are a step below the BRW here, and on top you’ll find creamy Moonspruce and one of Leo’s painstakingly rendered chip carved rosettes (and a matching endgraft). Short scale, 14 frets to the neck, and a Florentine Cutaway with a slick setup for effortless playability. The voice is rich, oh so rich. With power to spare. Fingerstyle royalty. This Buendia Mod D is the sort of guitar that even bad notes sound good.

It’s no secret that Leo Buendia is one of my favorite makers. He is living his life to build musical instruments that soothe the soul. This guitar is big with wonderful bass response and thick strong trebles that happily send the melody out into the world. This is my kind of guitar. | Scale Length | 24.9 in |
