This OM from 2016 has an incredible set of Malaysian Blackwood back and sides paired with a Carpathian Spruce top. Every detail, from the smooth contour of the neck to the graceful sweep of the lower bout, showcases thoughtful design and expert execution. But of course, a guitar’s true essence lies in its sound—and this one does not disappoint. The tone is vibrant and full of presence.
From the first note, whether fingerpicked or strummed, the guitar responds immediately with clarity and power. The treble strings are bright and energetic, perfectly balanced with a dynamic midrange and a robust, resonant bass. Whether played in standard or DADGAD tuning, this OM maintains exceptional definition, depth, and harmonic richness. In a word: angelic.
Notes from Al Petteway back in 2016 when we first had this instrument – “This is an amazing guitar and is incredibly well-built and designed. I instantly fell in love with it. It gives back more than you give it, which is what I always look for in a good guitar.”

From 2012, we have a Blue Burst Andrew White Hybrid model, featuring a German spruce top and some oh-so-sweet Brazilian rosewood for the back and sides. This guitar screams modernity while maintaining a timbre that can take you back in time—a true hybrid in every sense of the word, without sacrificing the qualities of both vintage and modern sound aesthetics.
It has an offset oval soundhole and rosewood appointments throughout, creating a beautifully striking contrast with the Blue Burst top. A truly special and unique piece from Andrew White, and we are thrilled to have it in the shop!

The “Bluegrass Goose” from Boucher Guitars in Québec, Canada—majestic like the bird it’s named after, and no less impressive. With an Adirondack Spruce top and Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, this dreadnought has a particularly special set of Madagascar rosewood.
Gloss finish on the body, satin on the neck, a comfortable V-shaped profile, herringbone appointments, and Gotoh open-back tuners. Less than a year old at the time of publication, we can’t wait to see and hear how this guitar develops over the years!

Greenfields are a category all their own. Michael has such a consistent touch with all his instruments; each one has great string-to-string balance, mixes up well, with equal richness and clarity to individual notes. And in 2011 the master outdid himself yet again with this G1. Upgraded with heirloom grade Brazilian Rosewood that’s over 200 years old, plus a 30-year-old German Moonspruce top–what more could a modern musician ask for? Why not a Laskin-style arm bevel and florentine cutaway, as well as a heel swoosh carved heel for lefthand comfort. The Brazilian Rosewood is so unique on this G1, it was salvaged from a center beam in Brazil and is midnight-dark with black-red warmth right in the center. Coincidentally, the voice has that in spades too with a rich, rich, rich midrange to pair up glass trebles and articulate bass.
This is a lifetime kind of instrument: the Greenfield G1.

One of the greatest builders of our time, Canada’s own William “Grit” Laskin is known across the globe for transforming the art of instrument inlay from the purely decorative to the downright artistic. Today we have his “Cubists” Jumbo, built in 2003 with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and a Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top. Laskin’s work has attempted to plumb the depths of artistic exploration for decades now, and it hasn’t reached the bottom yet. His engraved inlay here is a series of colorful Cubist art objects across the fretboard and the headstock inlay is borrowed from Spanish Cubism painter and sculpter Juan Gris’s work, with its asymmetry and pastel palette. Ringing in the soundhole is the square, the circle and the triangle, the geometric shapes that are fundamental forms of cubism, and a pencil offset towards the lower bout.
You can read even more about the Cubists build process and Grit’s inspirations in the second collection of his work, Grand Complications.
Everywhere else, the instrument has more traditional lines, with the addition of both an arm rest bevel and an upper bout soundport. Flatpicked, this instrument roars, with a much more well-rounded sound than its inlays’ angles would suggest. Thanks to the time-honored combination of Sitka Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood, the tone is rich and articulate, with a low-end that is fabulously clean and balanced with the other registers. This is the kind of guitar which will always stand out in a crowd–and that’s before you even play the thing. This guitar comes with the original Calton hardshell case.

This guitar features many unique elements, including the demi-cutaway, EVO frets, Royal Blackwood fingerboard, and stained Spanish Cedar neck. While it presents a modern aesthetic, it retains the classic, tried-and-true sound of a vintage guitar. Visually and sonically, this guitar has so much to offer, and we’re thrilled for you to see and hear this exceptional example from Burton LeGeyt.

This 2017 SG-2 from Sam Guidry is a wolf dressed in wolf’s clothing. Threaded out in brick-red Brazilian Rosewood & Sunday-finest creamy Engelmann Spruce top, elegant Ebony bindings and a generously curvy neck profile. A flair of style in the geometric rosette and miniature soundport. All wrapped up in a Calton flight case.
And behind all those good looks, a voice to make you cry. Sam Guidry has nailed the balance game: each register is equally present, and equally articulate. The bass response is open with a hint of distant thunder, but doesn’t overwhelm the voice. The treble strings are juicy and round, with great sustain. The setup is fast and slick, and when you dig in with a flatpick the SG-2 responds with a ferocious projection. Again Sam aces the balance test, since the same tune but played with fingertips also sounds rich, full, and impressively loud. Individual note definition is superb.
Not only is this SG-2 killing it as a snappy dresser, it’s also got the fat & dynamic tone to back it up. The Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides is not only gorgeous, it’s also premium quality as a perfect quartersawn set salvaged from an old beam.

From Elvis Presley to Marcus Mumford, the Gibson J-250 has virtually always been a part of our musical zeitgeist. This presentation model from 1995 exemplifies why that is. With its jumbo body, stunning maple back, sides, and neck, and a bearclaw spruce top, it’s a masterpiece of design and sound. The full neck profile complements the full-body feel and resonant tone.
Featuring cloud inlays on the fingerboard and the iconic mustache bridge, this is the quintessential Gibson acoustic guitar. Whether it’s the heartfelt country lamentations of George Jones or the percussive modern fingerstyle tapping of Billy McLaughlin, this guitar finds a home in anyone’s musical journey.

Bigleaf Maple body, European Spruce top, 15 inches across the lower bout and rigged with a Kent Armstrong humbucker–this 2007 Greenfield Archtop is a sight to see. In hand, the smaller body feels extra comfortable; you can really snug up with this one in your arms. Ebony pickguard, bridge, and tailpiece provide some dark contrast to the honey amber hues present elsewhere. Michael has only ever offered a small handful of archtops–this is only the third we’ve ever seen–and we’re proud to offer this one to you now.

Brand new and already wide awake, this Maingard 000 is an absolute livewire. Classic Marc Maingard–quick and energetic, punchy, lots of push. This 000 has got heaps of headroom. Sporting some gorgeous and dramatically figured Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides and 22-year-old Italian Spruce on top, the explosiveness of the voice is hardly surprising. Add an arm bevel to the mix, and throw in a soundport for good measure, and you’re set for a skies-the-limit playing experience.

The combination of Red Cedar on top and Wenge for the back and sides makes for great balance across the registers, and a little extra sweetness in the trebles. The Trinity Select body is 14 1/2” across the lower bout, making this a smaller instrument in hand and very comfortable to play. The neck is 12 frets to the body with a short 25” scale for added playing ease. Tom’s Select appointment package is here rendered with gorgeous Abalone trim at the headstock, fingerboard, and top. At the lower bout you’ll find an arm bevel incorporated into the Rosewood bindings, and flawless fit n finish throughout.
