2004 Santa Cruz PJ Indian/Cedar
Descriptive Text From Santa Cruz: “The PJ model is not designed as a miniature or travel guitar, despite its size. At one time there were many “parlor guitars,” but larger, louder instruments took center stage. The PJ incorporates contemporary design techniques, including optimized bracing and top construction so that the sound is exceptionally balanced. The sides and back are Indian rosewood, with a red cedar top. Don’t let its small size fool you–the PJ is truly a sophisticated guitar, perfect for intimate settings and recording.” We couldn’t agree more. This little guitar is very strong, loud and balanced with much more bass than you would think possible. This would be a perfect lean-over guitar, that’s one you can ‘lean over and grab’ all day long.

2001 McGill Picasso 25th Anniversary African Blackwood/German
Luthier Paul Daniel McGill is known for his creative designs inside and out on his guitars. This guitar is a celebration of his 25th year of building. Dubbed the Picasso it is certainly creative and unique like it’s namesake. The offset cutaway and soundhole offer an artistic facade and the voice is as bold as the look. The 7 fan bracing produces thunderous bass and soaring trebles with Paul’s trademark clarity throughout. The back & sides are rare and stunning African Blackwood with dramatic sapwood sections. This wood adds beauty for the ear as well for the eye. The top is lovely German Spruce with strong silking and a mature patina. A true work of art!

1994 Traphagen B.R.E. Concert Brazilian/European
With high profile players like Scott Tennant and Pepe Romero we probably don’t need to tell you much about Dake Traphagen.

This beautifully cared for Traphagen was built in 1994 and features an outstanding set of Brazilian Rosewood with just a touch of natural sapwood. The Spruce top has matured to a golden patina. This is a great example of Dake’s work.

2006 Charis GC Cocobolo/Cedar Price Change
We commissioned this GC with the powerful combination of Cocobolo Rosewood and Red Cedar. The idea was to have a responsive guitar with a warm top end. Bill certainly delivered, the voice is tremendous and the woods look very elegant together. The Rosewood bindings finish it with class and Bill’s wonderful neck shape is one of our favorites.

2002 Sobell Model 1 Brazilian/European
This is the best sounding Model 1 I’ve ever played and the reason is the amazing, dark black Brazilian Rosewood Stefan used for the body.

2007 Santa Cruz OM-PW Indian/Red Cedar
This is a unique Santa Cruz OM/PW in that it was custom made for Gryphon Guitars with some very old Red Cedar from legendary Luthier Frank Ford’s supply of this fine wood. This is a very lightweight OM that is deeply resonant and perfectly suited to fingerstyle music. The voice is very clear and sweet with a big, open Cedar voice. Many players mistakenly feel Cedar is not powerful, but that’s a myth and this guitar is proof. This one has tons of headroom and is downright loud. This is not only a unique but a very special Santa Cruz OM, the pre-war bracing and the rare Red Cedar make it so.

2004 Huss & Dalton 00-SP Indian/Red Cedar
Here we have a sweetheart 00 from the Staunton, VA shop of Huss and Dalton. This is a 2004 model that looks brand new and sounds wonderful. The Cedar top give’s it a sweet, warm voice but it retains the 00 energy and responsiveness. In fact this one is so loud if you close your eyes you’d probably say it was Spruce, but the full, fat trebles are all Cedar and it’s wonderful. Complete with a slotted headstock and Waverly tuners, a sweetheart H&D 00-SP.
