New Bozung D-18 Mahogany/Sitka 40+ yr. old Woods
Here we have a brand new D-18 from Chris Bozung of CB Guitars. Chris called us up after he compared this guitar with a 1941 Martin and he thought this one was quite special indeed. We agree, it’s new but it’s already very lively and super strong. It’s clearly got the stuff to be a cannon with a little more playing time. Chris says both the Mahogany and Sitka Spruce are quite old, approx. 40 years and you can tell. Here’s your chance for a modern guitar that’s as good as the classics.

New German Belladonna Bolivian Rswd/Sitka
Greg German has a background as a highly skilled Illustrator, Animator and luthier with Edward Victor Dick. This experience allows him to create and execute details that most Luthiers wouldn’t dare to attempt. This Belladonna, multiscale, steel string is breathtaking in subtle ways. There are extensive inlays on the headstock, fingerboard, soundport and rosette, but all are fine and wooden for an elegant effect. The wild Bolivian Rosewood back and Silky Sitka top give this asymmetrical multiscale a bright, clear tone with just a hint of dark under current. The combination of 25.4 scale on the bass string and the short 24.75 top string offer great intonation, easy and even tension and enhance this guitars ability to handle any tuning you want to use from Standard to low C. What a treat to have this guitar to begin our relationship with Greg German.
