Michel Pellerin’s got incredible tricks up his sleeve, and he pulled out more than a few for this brand new Presentation grade Grand Auditorium. So where to begin? On woods alone this guitar excels. A gorgeous set of Cocobolo make up the back and sides with just a hint of sapwood at the center seam, and a silky set of Sitka Spruce on top. African Blackwood bridge, Cocobolo rosette and tuner buttons, mirror-sheen and responsively thin Polyurethane finish. Intricate Abalone and MOP flowers and vines inlaid into the fretboard, scalloped nut, arm bevel and Ebony bindings—it’s a challenge to do anything more than stare when you pull this guitar out of the case.
Brand new but already a livewire, this Pellerin GA has a very energetic response and clean balance from string to string and note to note. If you like slick playability, the neck carve and setup will be a dream come true. It’s a big box with a 16 inch lower bout, but Michel coaxes a delicious blend of warmth and articulation out of the voice that’s superb for fingerstyle arrangements and flatpicked pieces alike.
What’s one word to wrap up all this goodness? Incredible.
Other spellings: micheal, michell, pelerin, grandauditorium, cocabolo, african black wood
Michel Pellerin is a premier builder from Canada and this guitar is a great example of his extensive experience. Every line and cut are perfect and the tone from the Cocobolo body is exquisite. - Accessories
