Remember the expression, speak softly and carry a big stick? How about speak loudly and carry a big stick—cuz that’s what we’ve got here with this 2008 Mustapick Baritone. This fearsome force of nature boasts a 29 inch scale (takin’ it down to G town!), all-Koa construction, and an upper bout soundport to boot. It only weighs in at a little over five pounds; not bad for a Baritone that’s packing as much projection and power as this one. The neck and body balance out each other well, making this an easy-playing experience. If you’re ready to take the leap into Baritone territory, you can’t go wrong with this all-Koa Mustapick.

This Martin Custom 00 sunburst in Brazilian Rosewood and Red Spruce is going to be hard to beat for blues and ragtime music; it’s got that great bark and warmth which is just right for those styles of music. The frequencies are all even and controlled across the board on this guitar, so if you are a fingerpicker you’re in for a treat! Up and down the neck, tone and playability are even and consistent, just the way we like it. This Martin strays from the pack slightly with is beautiful sunburst, the kind of dark burst we would normally associate with a Gibson-style instrument, but boy does it look good on this Martin!
With more thundering bass under the hood than you’d believe possible, this 00 is perfectly set up with a smooth neck profile, effortless action, and slightly wider nut to lend a little more room to those complex left-hand positions.

Tom Doerr, we adore your work. This 2016 Solace Select is what modern lutherie is all about: agile, responsive, voiced with crisp definition and a dynamic, colorful palette. Add to that fantastic tonewoods and playability and intonation innovations, and it’s a dream machine, baby. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Adirondack Spruce on top—multiscale fretboard at 26 to 25 1/8 inches—arm bevel plus beveled bindings all around.
Everything you throw at this Doerr Solace Select, it eats right up. We especially loved taking this one down in CGCGAD, where the added bass tension of the multiscale setup made this tuning absolutely sing.Other keywords: luthier, lutherie, guitarbuilding, doerr guitars, fingerstyle, fingerpicking, modern guitar, gotoh

Add to CompareBrand New Musser Advanced Jumbo, The Tree Mahogany/Engelmann Spruce
So hot we couldn’t keep it long enough to list! This is our first Gibson-style slope shoulder dreadnought from Don Musser, and of course the tonewoods are top notch. The Tree Mahogany back and sides, Engelmann Spruce on top, and Ocelot Ear Brazilian Rosewood for the headstock veneer and bridge. Bigleaf Maple bindings tie it together, with a sunburst finish on top that really pops. Tonally, this Advanced Jumbo kicks with clarity and precision, an excellently clean and energetic voice. It holds up handsomely for fingerpicking and flatpicking both! Now, this beauty is already gone, gone, gone, but if you want to commission a Musser for yourself just give us a shout here!

Add to Compare2012 Buscarino Grand Cabaret, Madagascar Rosewood & Adirondack/Cedar
We’ll take one of John Buscarino’s Grand Cabarets any day. These are hands down some of our all-time favorite crossover nylon string guitars, with John’s impeccable build quality bringing buckets of rich nylon tone to an easy-playing setup. This particular Cabaret from 2012 is dressed up with a Carved Madagascar Rosewood back, and features a Cedar/Adirondack Spruce double top for added power and projection. Additionally, this one has a Venetian Cutaway and one of John’s custom-carved soundports in the upper bout. The neck is closer to Classical dimensions with a 1 15/16” nut, but the scale length comes in at a flattop standard 25.4”. When you’re ready to take this Buscarino on stage, it’s been outfitted with a killer Barbera pickup system to boot!

Add to Compare2016 Heinonen SJ, Fiddleback Mahogany/Adirondack Spruce
Drew Heinonen’s builds are a nod to Jim Olson, but with a flavor and tone all Drew’s own. This 2016 SJ is a beautiful example of that with Fiddleback Mahogany back and sides, Adirondack Spruce on top, and elegant wood appointments. It weighs in at a slim four pounds flat, and we love the slim carve of the neck for easy playability. You can lean into this one with an aggressive flatpicking attack and get a lot of bark, or sweetness with fingers. The trebles are smooth, cool, and oh so clear.

Add to CompareBrand New Rainsong N-JM1100N2, Carbon Fiber/Spruce
The Nashville is a bold stage guitar. The unidirectional carbon/spruce SFT soundboard is finished in an attractive 3-tone tobacco sunburst and supplemented with eye-catching appointments.
How do you describe RainSong’s JM? Three words: loud, loud, and loud. And if that’s not enough, it’s also loud. This is the largest body RainSong builds. The sheer size, combined with the attributes of Projection Tuned Layering™ and Soundboard Fusion Technology™ make the JM one of the loudest acoustic guitars on the planet. This guitar is loud. We had to say it again. But the JM is not just about power. The narrow waist and some layering refinements specific to the Jumbo soundboard give the JM some real fingerstyle grace. The guitar is strong, but impeccably balanced, with bass, mids and trebles distinct, clear and, dare we say it again, loud.SOLD Sale!

Would you like a powerhouse? You’re in luck: our Blanchard Bristlecone is a bombshell dressed to the nines. Ziricote back and sides, European Spruce top, body wedge for creature comfort, and Macassar Ebony bindings to tie it all together. We love the setup, glossy and smooth, and the expansive dynamic range of the voice. Take this baby down to C and it still rings out clear and crisp. We’ve looked for a bad note; haven’t found one yet. Well played, Blanchard.

Add to Compare1983 Martin 000-45 150th Anniversary, Indian Rosewood/Alpine Spruce
We’ve got a special treat in hand today. This 000-45 was built in 1983 to commemorate the Martin name which had by then thrived for 150 years. They only built 150 (of course), and this one comes in at #147! Brick-red Indian Rosewood back and sides paired with an Alpine Spruce top that’s aged nicely to a warm, amber finish. Slim neck with a 1 11/16” nut and a slick setup, this 150th Anniversary is an exquisite fingerstyle instrument that’s got enough headroom and power to handle strumming and flatpicking as well.

Add to Compare2005 Smallman Classical, Brazilian Rosewood/Cedar
Classical lutherie royalty: Greg Smallman. This 2005 Smallman is all dramatic Brazilian Rosewood, Cedar, and explosive tone in the way only a Smallman can. The Cedar top is exquisitely thin, paired with a sturdy rim for maximum projection and power, and the heavily domed BRW back adds additional space to the instrument’s air cavity. A thin arm rest keeps the top free from the right arm’s damping effects. A guitar this rare and valuable, you must have a quality flight case to keep it safe. This one comes swaddled in a white Karura, one of our all-time favorite flight case manufacturers.

Add to Compare2007 Manzer Manzer, Brazilian Rosewood/German Spruce
Linda, Linda, Linda. This 2007 Manzer is a masterpiece. We love the voice: focused power, even response, well adapted for fingers and picks. In hand, the guitar plays easily with a slick setup and Linda’s namesake Manzer Wedge body ergonomics. This one’s been around for a few years and has opened up handsomely; the premium Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce are sounding oh so alive. Additionally, we found a soundport in the upper bout that comes with a removable BRW plug, for those times when you’re looking for a slightly different sound or for recording.

Add to Compare2019 GR Bear OM, Tasmanian Blackwood/Salvaged Cedar
GR Bear, you can build us a guitar any day. This preowned 2019 OM is a phenomenal instrument with a surgically precise voice and elegant aesthetics. Highly figured Fiddleback Tasmanian Blackwood are paired with a salvaged Red Cedar top for clarity balanced with warmth; dialed in for the fingerstylist. The Cedar top here has a personal provenance from the builder himself: “ I went on a road trip to Haida Gwaii last year with my wife and son. One day my son and I were waking down the beach and I came across this massive cedar stump that had beautiful tight even grain and I thought I want some of that for tops! I asked the locals about salvaging some of the log and got permission from an indigenous Haida man to harvest what I could from the log. I rented a chain saw and loaded up our tiny Toyota Corolla for the 24hr drive home to Vancouver!”
A striking red Padauk bridge sets off the color of the top and Tasmanian Blackwood rosette. We love the stepped headstock and understated visual style. A soundport and hemispherical EVO fret ends rounds out the image. Bear utilizes a carbon falcate bracing scheme for the top, and the result is precision and power for days.
