Add to CompareBrand New LHT Fifth Single Cutaway, Flamed Maple/Sitka Spruce
Tyler Wells continues to impress! This is the latest model we’ve had the pleasure of offering here at the shop, and we’re frankly on the fence about selling it at all–we just want this one for ourselves. The LHT Fifth is a thin hollowbody with offset F holes/integrated soundports, finished with a hot-under-the-collar black and red sunburst, and simply wired with a Righteous Sounds humbucker. It’s the little details that set this LHT apart from the rest, like the bridge carve with added mass on the bass side, the flawless fit and finish, and most importantly volume and tone knobs that go to eleven. Figured Maple back and sides against a Sitka Spruce top; Mahogany neck plus 24 fret Ebony fingerboard; and a little over five pounds soaking wet.

John Buscarino’s Cabaret model is the ideal crossover instrument: easy to play, easy on the eyes, chock full of modern features, and clear and powerful to boot. This 2021 Cabaret Custom is decked out with Red Cedar top, Sapele back and sides, cutaway, and an oak leaf-shaped soundport. A James May Ultra Tonic pickup brings you into amplified territory with ease, too. The back is carved to give the body more air to move, without making the sides deep and inhibiting playability. The result is a deceptively effortless playing experience.

Take a great dreadnought and add time, and you get a power player like this 2008 Santa Cruz Tony Rice Pro. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with European Spruce top and enlarged soundhole, 25.25″ scale, herringbone appointments, and a slender neck plus 1 11/16″ nut width.

This guitar was originally spec’d out with a Brazilian Rosewood set from then production manager Dan Roberts, and the top is french polished. This beauty came about no longer after Tony’s personal guitar was built in 2007.

Tex! Is raring to go.

Friends, you won’t want to put this one down for a heartbeat. It’s dried out and woken up so much since 1936, this Gibson L-00 weighs next to nothing but packs a powerful, expressive, and frankly loud! voice that works great for fingerpicking, and honestly a fair bit of flatpick work too. Quick and energetic, it’s practically humming. Mahogany back and sides plus Adirondack Spruce top and tiger stripe pickguard, original finish, a recent refret for excellent playability, and replaced Kluson-style tuners for modern tuneability (originals included with case).

Add to Compare2009-2011 Bishline CF-5, Walnut
Traditional feel pairs with a modern voice–this Bishline CF-5 is a work of art. Rob Bishline tells us these are exceptionally difficult to build, and it’s such a joy to have #002 in the shop. Walnut resonator plsu neck, Abalone trim, and then there’s the extensive carbon fiber work at the tailpiece, flange, and hoop. Add to that a tunneled 5th string and the fifth tuner at the center of the headstock. The resonator is X braced! You very much feel it while playing. Built between 2009 and 2011, this Bishline is in premium shape.

Add to Compare2018 Serracini Grand Auditorium, Indian Rosewood/Italian Red Spruce
This is the first guitar we’ve seen from Rome’s Davide Serracini, and we hope it’s not the last! Powerhouse voice for fingerstyle with lots of projection and great note definition. We’ve got the Grand Auditorium body to thank for that, as well as the multiscale setup (26 inches to 25.4 inches). That’s a sweet range for DADGAD, and we found it help up all the way down into C9. Gorgeous green Abalone appointments set off the Italian Red Spruce top and Indian Rosewood body, as well as the headstock.
Serracini has garnered international acclaim for his instruments and their players, among them CandyRat Record’s own Luca Stricagnoli. This beauty was built in 2018 and is raring for more action.Other keywords: italian, fingerstyle, fingerpicking, modern guitar, venetian cutaway, gator, 207618

Add to Compare2013 Santa Cruz 00~Skye, Cocobolo/Adirondack Spruce
We love it when a small bodied instrument packs a big bodied sound. Enter: our 2013 Santa Cruz 00~Skye. Great headroom for a pick, plus clear note separation for fingerstyle, makes for a very versatile instrument. Cocobolo back and sides and Adirondack Spruce top: warmth and power. These guitars have a wider fingerboard with a 1 13/16″ nut, short 24.9″ scale setup, herringbone trim, and slotted headstock. Eric Skye did well to collaborate with Richard Hoover on this signature line.

Here’s an articulate piece for the nylon string player who wants to enjoy the ergonomic perks of modern steel string designs, without compromising the warmth and range required for the classical repertoire. This 2010 Crossover Classical from Kevin Muiderman manages this task handsomely with Cocobolo back and sides and a Bearclaw Sitka Spruce double top, cutaway, radiused fingerboard, and position markers. Gilbert tuners at the headstock for extra reliable tuning, and under the hood we have a K&K Trinity dual source pickup.

Every Calton Case is handcrafted and custom-fit to your instrument.
How are Calton Cases made? By hand and with love. While Calton CNC initial plugs and molds for testing new styles and shapes, once they’ve tested the cases—inside and out—they are made by hand. Without giving away too many secrets, here is how they do it:
- Measurements: we rely on you (and your dealer) for precise measurements of your instruments. This ensures the perfect fit.
- Exterior I: three layers of hand-laid fiberglass build the foundation for the side walls, tops and bottoms of each case.
- Exterior II: once the fiberglass shell is trimmed, up to 97 rivets are used to adhere latches, catch surrounds (leather bumpers), protective feet and a custom leather handle.
- Interior Stage I: gluing of the rubber trim and initial placement of interior fabric, foam and lining.
- Interior Stage II: cutting and assembly of the remaining foam layers and final velvet placement.
- Squeaky Clean: we call this the “detailing” stage where we meticulously polish exteriors and vacuum interiors.
- Final Inspection: every square inch of every case is looked over, making sure it is ready for the road. We add your label (with serial number) and ship!
