Add to Compare2000 Traugott R, Kentucky Stash Brazilian Rosewood/German Spruce
One of those rare instruments that does it all so well, this 2000 Model R from Jeff Traugott excels on all metrics. Smooth playability and neck profile, premium tonewoods, wide awake voice with a dancer’s balance and a mathematician’s precision–the question is, how do you get anything else done with this beauty in your life? Those aforementioned tonewoods are Jeff’s classic combination of Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce, but here we have the added distinction of a set of his coveted Kentucky Stash Brazilian Rosewood. It’s brick red, straight grained, and offers glassy clarity and depth in a lightweight playing package.
Seriously, we tried to make bad music with this Model R. Couldn’t do it. Even the wrong notes sang out right.

The latest Model F to come our way does so with an understated but engaging aesthetic, top shelf tonewoods, and the glassy playability we expect from every on of Kathy Wingert’s guitars. This 2021 Model F is outfitted with premium Brazilian Rosewood back and sides plus Italian Spruce top, and features a lovely custom woods-to-metals, lines-to-curves rosette that grabs the eye but doesn’t overpower the overall look of the guitar. Additional upgrades include a venetian cutaway that transistions smoothly into the neck heel, and a subtle arm bevel on the lower bout that maximizes player ergonomics without sacrificing a lot of real estate on the top.

Add to Compare2018 Lowden BAR-50 F/F Baritone, African Blackwood/Adirondack Spruce
Balanced power. This 2018 Lowden Baritone is one of George’s BAR-50 F/F models, boasting an expansive multiscale fan fret setup of 28 inches down the 26 3/8 inches. The result is lots of power on the bottom end, but sweetness and easy playability on the top–the best of both worlds for a baritone. Moreover, the Lowden team upfitted this model with master grade African Blackwood back and sides and master grade Adirondack Spruce, which is one of our alltime favorite tonewood combinations. The result is glassy note definition and lots of power. The body is tied up with Tasmanian Blackwood everywhere for a striking look. Satin finish throughout for excellent neck feel, and a body that won’t blind your audience under the glare of the bright lights.

Add to Compare2004 Olson SJ, Koa/Sitka Spruce
Here’s an Olson SJ to set you apart from the crowd–outfitted with Presentation Grade Koa back and sides, Sitka Spruce top, Brazilian Rosewood bindings (plus rosette), and Koa/Maple fleur-de-lis position markers all along the fingerboard. We’ve seen so many Rosewood/Cedar Olsons over the years, and we’ve loved every one of them, but it’s great to see a new wood combination from Jim to spice things up with this 2004 build. Accordingly, the voice is quick and punchy, has a bump in the mids that really sings out when you play big chords, and all that while maintaining the sparkle in the trebles that Olsons are all known for. The result is an energetic SJ that manages to play and sound familiar and fresh at the same time.

Add to Compare2016 Olson SJ, Indian Rosewood/Cedar
This Olson has an extra helping of articulation and expressiveness that makes it a handsome companion for a wide range of styles. Of course it’s excellent for fingerstyle, but it also holds up well under a flatpick. Great note separation across the registers, with a top end that’s got extra oomph and glassiness. This 2016 Olson SJ Cutaway comes with Jim’s dove inlays along the fingerboard, Indian Rosewood body with Cedar top, and an L.R. Baggs LB6 pickup. Ready for a vibrant, energetic IR/Cedar Olson? It’s only a strum away.

Add to Compare2014 Petros Dwende Parlor, Claro Walnut/Redwood
Bruce and Matt Petros know how to build what might be the perfect modern Parlor. This 2014 Dwende Parlor model has it all: headroom, clarity, balance, plus easy playability and a lightweight build (three pounds), and detailed apointments from tuners to tail. The back and sides are Claro Walnut, here paired with a Redwood top and short scale setup for a clean, expressive voice. Fit and finish is of course top notch. Celtic-inspired inlays sprawl across the various surfaces, and highlight the fingerboard with a woman or sprite figure cradling a guitar. The Butternut neck has a wider nut of 1 13/16″, which makes for an effortless lefthand experience for chords.

Add to Compare2018 Beauregard Facettes Archtop 16,” Quilted Maple/Spruce
Mario Beauregard’s touch with chisel and plane, sandpaper and file, is unparalleled. This 2018 Facettes Archtop 16″ is an absolute feat of modern lutherie! Sumptuously figured Maple back and sides, Spruce top, gold Lollar pickup with volume and tone at the pickguard; upper bout soundport; effortless playability and response. This instrument is like inspiration in wood form. Mario engineers the top with these arcing facets that feature subtle soundholes integrated into their centers–we can’t imagine how he pulls this off so well–which you’ll also find across the carved Maple back for continuity. Note how the pickguard descends to a point above the bridge, its outside edge matching the curves of the facets. Setup is butter smooth and slinky, and this 2018 Beauregard comes wrapped up in a custom Hoffee case for maximum protection.

Add to Compare2003 Marchione 16″ Siren Archtop, Maple/Spruce
Stephen Marchione’s 16 Inch Archtop is a complete instrument. Silk smooth playability, gorgeous tonewoods, and an expressive and dynamic acoustic voice that translates faithfully into amplified tone thanks to a custom collaboration between Stephen and DiMarzio. Maple body with Spruce top and Ebony tailpiece, bridge, and pickguard. Locking Sperzel tuners in black match up perfectly with the Ebony headplate, rendered in Marchione’s trademark headstock shape. A slim 1 11/16″ nut allows for deft lefthand work, and the relatively light build weight under six pounds makes this 16″ archtop from 2003 exceedingly comfortable in hand.

Add to Compare1998 Marchione 17″ Archtop, Curly Maple/European Spruce
Stephen Marchione manages to make a 17 inch archtop play as easy as a much smaller guitar–without losing the projection and power and resonance of the big box. The 3″ sides help with this, as well as the silky setup and neck carve. Back and sides are cello-grade Curly Maple, and on top Stephen opted for a set of European Spruce that matches perfectly. Ebony hardware throughout, and the pickup has been more recently upgraded with a custom Marchione-DiMarzio PAF collaboration–and this humbucker sings!

Add to Compare2008 Borges OM-28, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Gorgeous from tuners to tail, this 2008 OM-28 from Julius Borges is a tall glass of sweet, sweet water. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with Adirondack Spruce on top, and throw in a few years for good measure to open up, and you’ve got a wide awake and singing OM ready for more action. Our understanding is that Borges has recently retired, so there won’t be any more of these works of flattop art coming along–if you’re looking for an opportunity to get into a powerhouse Borges OM-28 that holds up great for both fingers and picks, this is when that opportunity comes knocking.
