2011 Greenfield G1, Brazilian Rosewood/German Moonspruce
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.

2012 Buscarino Virtuoso, Master Grade Big Leaf Flame Maple/Master Grade Carpathian Spruce
Buscarino Virtuoso from 2012: Big Leaf Maple and Master Grade Carpathian Spruce. Wow, what a special creation we have here. Featuring a stunning burst finish and Art Nouveau inlays, this guitar is as decadent as it is sonorous—a rare combination that coincides beautifully. Incredible for nearly any application, it would be hard for a guitar enthusiast of any persuasion or background not to feel somewhat enamored by this jazz box, which, quite frankly, can do so much more. Look and listen for yourself, folks—this is truly a masterpiece from John Buscarino

2003 Laskin Cubists Jumbo, Brazilian Rosewood/Bearclaw Sitka Spruce
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.

2017 Guidry SG-2, Brazilian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
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.

1995 Gibson J-250, Curly Maple/Bearclaw Spruce
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.

2016 Doerr Trinity Select, Wenge/Cedar
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.

2021 Taran Tirga Beag, African Blackwood/Italian Spruce
2021 Taran Tirga Beag, made for our very own Dustin Furlow for the Young Player Bursary. This beast of an instrument features back and sides of African Blackwood, fully kerfed side construction in Western Red Cedar with Bocote veneers, and Taran Guitars’ signature compression back brace. The top is crafted from Italian Spruce, with a rosette of hot sand-faded Scottish Burr Elm accented by rippled Sycamore detailing, all bound in African Blackwood.
The neck is made of Wenge, shaped with an equal taper Medium C profile. It features EVO frets and Gotoh tuners. Notably, this guitar boasts both a soundport and an arm bevel made from hot sand-faded Scottish Elm.
This instrument is equipped with a Modified K&K Trinity pickup system. The microphone is a DPA 4061 Low-Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone, running off the same phantom specs as the original K&K Trinity, ensuring excellent amplification for both studio and live performances.
This guitar is a shining example of what Rory and the team are crafting in Scotland. It possesses a mystique and power that are, quite frankly, hard to put into words—reminiscent of some magical artifact from an Arthurian tale. But don’t take our word for it—let the demo speak for itself. Cheers!

This is a classic Traugott, showcasing all the signature aesthetics and tonal qualities the builder is celebrated for: clarity, power, and that unmistakable Traugott sound. Plus, the Brazilian Rosewood on the back and sides is nothing short of stunning.
