From the innovative workshop of Cory Batson, this 2009 Grand Concert demonstrates Batson’s forward-thinking approach to acoustic design. Built with Maple back and sides and a Spruce top, it delivers a clear, articulate voice with impressive headroom and balance—perfect for fingerstyle or light flatpicking.
Batson’s hallmark features are all here: the offset soundhole that frees up the top for greater resonance, the cantilevered fingerboard that enhances sustain and clarity, and the 25.4″ scale length that provides both tension and dynamic response. The result is a guitar that feels effortlessly alive under the hands, with that distinctive Batson openness and shimmer.
Elegant, responsive, and beautifully crafted, this Grand Concert is a fine example of Batson’s unique blend of innovation and musicality—an inspiring modern instrument with a timeless voice.
