Brand New Laskin Calm, Ziricote/Sitka Spruce
This exquisite small-body cutaway from Grit Laskin is one half of a themed pair titled Calm and Chaos. This one is Calm.
Ziricote back and sides meet a Sitka spruce top for a tonal response that’s clear and articulate, with the kind of headroom and color that encourages deep listening. Grit’s signature bevels elevate the playing experience—fluid, organic, and incredibly inviting. His abalone-and-mosaic rosette, both structured and luminous, sets the tone visually for what this guitar is about: elegance through restraint.
At the top, a rendering of the Greek goddess Pasithea—goddess of relaxation and meditation—drawn from a rare marble sculpture and interpreted in a stone with similar grain. She was chosen not just for her symbolism, but for her quiet authority. Her presence grounds the theme, just as Pasithea herself was known to bring stillness to the mind.
The fretboard tells a gentle story: a woman seated at the edge of a dock, viewed from behind, watching the water stretch out before her in the last light of day. Three birds in flight arc overhead. There’s a kind of emotional spaciousness in the scene—it’s not trying to say too much. Just enough. Down at the bottom of the fingerboard, a small, perfect arrangement of balanced stones.
Inlaid materials reflect the natural world: deep blue lapis or azurite/malachite for the water, golden mother-of-pearl for the setting sun and cloud edges, with a sky that shifts from warm yellow to soft orange.
This is one of those rare instruments where the visual and the musical are speaking in the same voice. A voice that isn’t loud—but deeply resonant, intentional, and unforgettable.

An absolute delight we have here in this 2018 Maegen Wells 16″ archtop. Maple for the back and sides, with Sitka Spruce on top. Koa bindings, and ebony for the pickguard, bridge, and tailpiece.
This is an excellent example of a modern archtop. While it contains all the makings and components of a traditional archtop, the details and aesthetics are incredibly contemporary. With Maegen’s understated and minimalistic approach, one glance is all it takes to know it’s one of her creations.
Outfitted with a Bartolini pickup system, wherever this instrument finds its new home, it will certainly be a happy one!

From 2010, here we have a LeGeyt CL in Tasmanian Blackwood and European Spruce. This is an earlier model from Burton, and it has been recently re-topped by Burton himself, so we have an example of an opened-up but also renewed guitar, made to meet his current standards.
This newly improved small-body has a lot of unique features — from LeGeyt’s signature bridge design, sound port, and demi-cutaway “scoop,” to being equipped with an L.R. Baggs Lyric for true and transparent amplification.
Guitars like this make you wonder why there aren’t more Tasmanian Blackwood guitars. It’s a tonewood very similar to Koa, yet it has a glassiness all its own. Scoop this one up while you can — pun intended.

Mark Blanchard is widely renowned for his steel-string guitars, but here we have an early example of one of his classical guitars — this one from 1995, in Cedar and Indian Rosewood. Featuring a classic mosaic rosette, this instrument has been well cared for and sounds lovely, having had 30 years to open up.

$4,160 Add to cartScale Length 25.875 in Nut Width 2 in String Spacing 2.5 in Woods Cedar, Rosewood - Indian 1999 Blanchard Classical, Indian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
Here we have another example of Mark Blanchard’s work from the ’90s — this time, a 1999 classical in Indian Rosewood and Engelmann Spruce. A slimmer neck profile makes this a great “crossover-ish” instrument for steel-string players.
1999 was still fairly early in Mark’s career, but we’re already seeing the beginnings of design elements that remain present in his builds to this day. For instance, the rosette: it features Honduran Rosewood surrounding a band of abalone. Honduran Rosewood appointments appear throughout this piece.

From 2007, a mint condition Marc Maingard OM in Brazilian Rosewood and Italian Spruce. This guitar has Brazilian Rosewood appointments throughout — from the rosette and fingerboard to the bridge. It represents the highest quality from the Maingard shop and is in pristine condition — not something we commonly see from a nearly 20-year-old guitar at the time of listing. V-profile neck with bevels on the front and back for comfort. This guitar is such a treat.

We all get pretty excited when an A2 model from Laurent Brondel comes through the shop. That model has something pretty special about it; it grapples the line of modernity and tried-and-true tradition in a very unique and beautiful way, both in sight and sound. In every A2, the natural beauty of the materials used carry the instrument, while maintaining a recognizable voice and simultaneously an individuality.
This guitar from 2011 shows why Mahogany is one of the most popular and desirable tonewoods for an acoustic guitar: warmth, clarity, a sonic precision that you don’t always hear all together. Honduran Mahogany and Carpathian Spruce are the main ingredients for this showstopper. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just breaking into the realm of high-end acoustic guitars, this one is for you. This instrument is equipped with a K&K Pure mini pickup.

2013 Buscarino Cabaret Custom — a stunning instrument built with gorgeous Honduran Rosewood for the back and sides, and an Engelmann Spruce/Cedar double top. All the classic Buscarino features are here: carved back, cutaway, and medium-width crossover appointments. You’re not sacrificing the qualities of a true nylon-string guitar while stepping into the crossover world — this one strikes a true Goldilocks balance.
It’s equipped with a Barbera pickup system and showcases some truly unique appointments. Notably, you’ll find Larry Robinson’s custom cat-eye inlays and a beautifully crafted soundport in the shape of a paw print. All the cat clichés come to mind — cat got your tongue, the cat’s pajamas — but the real takeaway is how fun this guitar is to play. Exquisite workmanship, and an even more exquisite voice.

Delicious. Rich, velvety, butter-smooth. We love this 2018 Jang OM from tuner to tail. The setup is that slinky sweet spot that’s perfect for fingerstyle in a range of tunings and easy on the hands with a 1 13/16” nut. Note clarity is exquisite; precision is the name of the game when it comes to this one’s voice. Then there’s the eye candy. Dramatically figured “Beeswing” Cocobolo back and sides—yes, please—paired with a creamy Italian Alpine Spruce top and Isaac’s Uchida-Style “Bendaway” cutaway, as well as a Subtle Manzer Wedge body contour, makes for a striking presentation that’s comfortable to boot. Red purflings set off the Spruce top and Ebony bindings, and gold Gotoh tuners round it out with Isaac’s distinctive two-tone headplate.
