Mark Blanchard guitars are synonymous with great tone, playability, and excellent craftsmanship, and this Bristlecone model in Claro Walnut and Sitka Spruce is a perfect example of those qualities. It features a contoured venetian cutaway that’s flush with the tapered heel, for a very comfortable feel when playing in the higher registers. Tonally, this guitar achieves excellent balance thanks to the silky Sitka top and the natural midrange punch that’s typical of Claro. Clean highs and an articulate bass response make this an excellent choice for stage or the studio.
I've never met a Blanchard guitar I didn't like, and am always glad to get them in the shop. This Bristlecone model responds very well to either fingerstyle or a flatpick, and the Sitka top is fully open and lush. The contoured cutaway is really comfortable -- there's no sharp corners to get in the way when accessing the higher frets. This is a very balanced guitar at a great price. 
I love playing these instruments. They are great for fingerstyle guitar, but are also versatile enough to play just about anything. | Scale Length | 25.5000 in |
