Add to Compare1997 McCollum Meghann, Walnut/German Spruce
The late Lance McCollum left us in the guitar world with an incredible body of work, from terz guitars to harp guitars and everything in between—this small-bodied Meghann model is right smack in that in-between spot: it’s got great projection and power when you lean in, without losing any of the clarity and intimacy of a smaller instrument. Walnut body with German Spruce on top gives an even midrange and crisp trebles plus sweet note definition across the range, and the fact that this McCollum Meaghan comes to us from 1997 means it’s opened up for over two decades—and it shows in the lively character of the voice. This beauty is also outfitted wiith a Highlander IP-2 dual source pickup system to carry you faithfully on to the stage.

Add to Compare2015 Beardsell 3GMS25/27, Leopardwood/Lutz Spruce
One look, and you’re intrigued. One note, and you’re hooked. This powerhouse 2015 3GMS from Allan Beardsell‘s shop is here to dazzle the eyes and humble the ears. Let’s start with the basics. You know, like the double soundports which pour sweet active bass notes right into your ear. Or the oval soundhole and its spiderweb-like rosette, or the arm and back bevels which meld smoothly with the bindings. And let’s not forget the unique three-piece Selmer-style cutaway or the multi-scale Ebony multiscale fingerboard with 27″ scale length on the low E and 25″ on the high E. As if all that wasn’t enough, the back and sides are made of a beautiful set of Leopardwood, and the top is lightly figured Lutz Spruce. When these woods (and that exhaustive list of options) combine, the effect is overwhelming: this is a guitar with an electrified, energetic voice that pops, sizzles, and screams. The low-end, in particular, is very crisp and loud, thanks to the multiscale arrangement, and the middle and upper registers have heaps of headroom. Overall, the 3GMS/25/27 exhibits the kind of agility and responsiveness, perfect for fast, smooth playing, that one would expect from a much smaller build.

Add to Compare2010 Ryan Nightingale Grand Soloist, Brazilian Rosewood/Swiss Spruce
This is a completely custom, one-of-a-kind Ryan Nightingale Grand Soloist, built in 2010 and wide awake today in 2023. Kevin Ryan crafted this guitar with a set of his finest dark Brazilian Rosewood, topped it with Swiss Spruce and added a long list of custom options. There is an arm bevel with acoustic flutes, Blue Paua Abalone top border, backstrip, rosette and headplate surround. Then to make it truly unique it has Kevin’s dragonfly inlay theme that includes two large dragonflies on the fingerboard and headplate and around the rosette as well. Furthermore the back, sides and neck have a satin finish that feels amazing to the touch. The top is gloss so all the Paua really shines. To complete the package it comes with a Calton Deluxe Flight Case to keep this treasure safe!

Add to Compare2008 Trenier Motif, Mahogany/European Spruce
This is a fine piece of modern archtop lutherie if ever we’ve seen it. Bryant Trenier’s approach with the Motif model is plainly dressed, all the better to showcase a rich and expressive voice and high quality tonewoods. European Spruce top carved with an X brace pattern and oval hole; carved Mahogany back and sides, venetian cutaway plus a 3″ body depth for easy playability–and this resonant beauty weighs in under five pounds. Trenier designed this 2008 Motif with acoustic fingerstyle play in mind, and at that it certainly excels. There’s also good headroom for a pick attack. The neck has had the finish smoothed down for a bare wood feel that feels, well, perfect, with an overall full profile that just fits. This instrument is currently purely acoustic, but the pickup jack from a previous pickup remains installed should you choose to amplify.

If you’re looking for a lot of sound with petite proportions, you’ve found it. Ziricote body with German Spruce top, 12 fret body join plus cutaway and a 25.5″ scale setup; EVO frets; Gotoh 510 mini tuners. Tyler leaned into a geometric exploration for the aesthetic package, including a soundhole that conforms to the angles of the rosette, as well as a green and bronze motif there and at the headstock. Add an arm bevel to the mix for maximum player comfort–executed with a Ryan-style taper at the bottom and squared off at the top.
