Robert Ruck’s guitars are among our favorite classicals of all time. Robert had such a way with woods, his instruments are instantly inspirational. This 2008 Classical is no exception! Straight-grain Indian Rosewood back and sides with Spruce on top, 650mm scale, and a slim 3lbs 12oz playing weight—easy playability and beautiful, straight ahead aesthetics.
This one features Ruck’s Barrueco bracing, a modified lattice bracing pattern for the top he originally pioneered for Manuel Barrueco. The result is a crisp, lively, responsive powerhouse.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, ir, east indian, fingerstyle, classical guitar, classical, nylon string, nylon-string, 650mm, mosaic

Smooth as silk, and that counts for both looks and tone on this 2013 Taylor PS12ce. Gorgeous Cocobolo back and sides with Sitka Spruce on top, the Taylor Expression pickup system, and an arm bevel for creature comfort! Plus Taylor’s slinky playability and a gorgeous “Nouveau Vine” fretboard inlay.
The Grand Concert body strikes a fine balance between intimate and gregarious, and this Taylor takes equally well to flatpicking as fingerstyle. Where can you go wrong? Not with this one.Other keywords: bob taylor, andy powers, lutherie, american guitar, presentation guitar, cocabolo, gotoh

Add to CompareBrand New Halland OM-H, Mahogany/Sitka Spruce
Now this is what world-class lutherie is all about! We’ve got a stunner OM-H from Gage Halland that sings like lightning converted into wood. Mahogany back and sides with old growth Sitka Spruce on top, weighing in at a touch over four pounds, and playing oh so smoothly with a glassy setup. We adore this Halland. It’s energetic and lively, well balanced between trebles and bass, and when combined with easy playability it makes for a guitar that’s easy to lose track of time in. EVO frets, pinless bridge in the Greenfield style, and a Hoffee flight case to keep it safe and sound—this Halland OM-H is the complete package.

Add to Compare2017 Lowden S-50, Madagascar Rosewood/Alpine Spruce
George Lowden’s S-50 strikes the razor’s edge balance between small and large bodiies, retaining the power of a big box and the clarity and warmth of a 00 or 000. This S-50 from 2017 is a beautiful example of this balance, here in Madagascar Rosewood and Alpine Spruce. We love this guitar. The word that kept coming up for us while playing it was “Intimate.” As in, close, personal, a familiar voice in your ear. This S-50 has sweet trebles, and the kind of string-to-string balance that is crucial in a fingerstyle guitar. Plek’d for the previous owner, it plays like butter!

Rich and creamy, just the way we like it. This 2016 Franklin OM is a smooth operator from tuner to tail.

It’s an excellent choice for fingerstyle, and man oh man is it a blast as a flatpicker in Drop D. More volume and projection than you can shake a Bluechip pick at; astounding.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, nick kukich, fingerpicking, orchestra model, euro spruce

James Taylor does it right, and so does James Olson. This JT Copy is an absolute powerhouse, orchestra-in-a-box, a room filler.

Abalone appointments (right down to the dove inlays along the fretboard), Florentine cutaway, and of course the L.R. Baggs LB6 undersaddle pickup for the classic James Taylor/James Olson amplified tone. The Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, and Cedar top, were handpicked by Jim for the original owner of this guitar, a personal friend of both ours and Jim’s!

Brazilian Rosewood back and sides are paired with an Adirondack Spruce top, herringbone trim, and a vintage-style V neck that’s glossy smooth to the touch. This beauty weighs in at a scant 4lbs, and has a sweet dynamic range that works well for both flatpicking and fingerstyle. Ivoroid bindings, Waverly tuners, and a classic bone through saddle round out the image of the classic OM—and this Dudenbostel has an expressive and lively voice to make it oh so hard to put down.

Add to Compare2014 Ribbecke Halfling Pin Bridge Archtop, Indian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce
True balance is a rare thing in this world. Poised perfectly between bass and treble, sustain and attack—a rare thing. Tom Ribbecke’s Halfling top threads the needle just so. Check out our demo for this Indian Rosewood & Sitka Spruce Halfling pin bridge archtop, and listen for the roundness of the treble response and just a tinge of added warmth in the lower register that brightens up the bass. There’s an archtop-esque pop to individual notes that allows for flatpicked passages to stand out, and lots of headroom. Ribbecke blessed this neck with an oil-slick setup that practically plays itself. When we experimented with dropped tunings, the voice remained crisp and focused and cut well.

Add to Compare2000 Manzer Manzer, Indian Rosewood/German Spruce
A fingerstyle guitar with crispness and clarity, that responds well to both light and aggressive attacks? Look no further than our 2000 Manzer in Indian Rosewood and German Spruce. Linda’s wedge-shaped body keeps playability smooth, and the 25.625” scale length allows for a snappy response that works well for altered tunings. The treble clarity cuts through the mix, and contrasts nicely with the warmth of the mids.
Linda’s guitars are in the hands of some of the world’s finest players, from Pat Metheny to Tony McManus—if her guitars have the stamp of approval from ears such as these, you know they’ve got some serious magic cooking under the hood.

Add to Compare2017 Scott Walker Weissenborn, Mahogany
Famed electric guitar builder Scott Walker also has a softer, warmer side: in 2017 he built a run of Weissenborns like this Mahogany beauty—easy on the eyes and the hands (and the bar!). 25 inch scale with Graphtech tuners, tortoise-style bindings, and a warm, enveloping voice. We loved playing this Walker Weissenborn in Open D and Open G. Weighing in at a slim 3.5lbs, this is a featherweight in your lap that contains a big voice.

Fast, note-heavy passages remain clear and articulate, and when you dig in this Franklin responds with more and more headroom. There’s a K&K Pure Mini pickup to take you straight to the stage, V neck for creature comfort, and gold Waverly tuners for that classic look.
