John ‘J.S.’ Bogdanovich is a great friend of ours and as it happens a premiere luthier of classical guitars, and the author of “Classic Guitar Making: A Modern Approach To Traditional Design”. This is a rare steel string crafted by John from highly figured Flame Maple that he had in his private stash. John topped it with Engelmann Spruce which adds a nice warmth to compliment the power of the Maple. And boy is it powerful, very responsive and lively. This is a strong guitar that excels at fingerstyle and can span genres from blues to rags to celtic and traditional. A great one…
"John builds classicals as well as steel string guitars and builders who do both seem to know how to make an extremely lively and responsive guitar. This one vibrates like a very old guitar and projects extremely well. The wood combination is bright and punchy, but with good color thanks to the Engelmann spruce. The neck is wide and will please those of you with big hands or who just like something to hold onto. The Flame on the Maple is stunning and the Chechen (Mexican Rosewood) Bindings and Bridge set it off nicely. A beautiful and powerful guitar from John Bogdanovich, the author of "Classic Guitar Making: A Modern Approach To Traditional Design"." - Paul Heumiller
