2002 Jeremy Locke Arched Back Classical Guitar, Tasmanian Blackwood/Spruce
From 2002, the “Arched Back Classical” from Jeremy Locke has Tasmanian Blackwood—which isn’t a common tonewood for the back and sides of a classical guitar, but based on what we have here, it probably should be more common. It comes with Gilbert tuners and a Gilbert-styled bridge. As the name suggests, this guitar has a carved “arched” back, giving it the classic Australian guitar tone. With Spanish Cedar for the neck, this is a whole lot of guitar for your money.

2008 Schwartz Advanced Auditorium Cutaway, Cocobolo/Engelmann Spruce
Sheldon Schwartz may just be a miracle worker–the voice of this Advanced Auditorium is seraphic. In pairing Cocobolo Rosewood back and sides with a gorgeous Engelmann Spruce top, Schwartz gave this Grand Auditorium-sized guitar a tonal palette which is rich but controlled, with a great balance across the registers. Flatpickers, rejoice: the Advanced Auditorium responds with resounding projection and clarity. Prefer your fingertips? Fingerstyle accentuates the balance and scope, letting the low-end mellow out and accompany the middle registers in perfect harmony.
Airy overtones in the trebles fill out the voice, lending the instrument a sweetness and poise that is matched only by Schwartz’s appointments, from the figured Curly Maple bindings to the Mother-Of-Pearl and Shell vine inlays across the rosette and at the twelfth fret. Kept in immaculate condition, you won’t believe this guitar isn’t even a decade old. There are probably brand-new guitars out there with more scratches. Protected by an equally immaculate Ameritage hardshell case, there’s no need to worry about the instrument ever getting hurt in your travels.
Combining easy playability, rich tonality, be prepared to play this Advanced Auditorium for many, many long hours.Here’s an additional demo with our own Al Petteway: https://youtu.be/7KMfzW_TImA

2006 Schoenberg 000 Standard Marty Evans, Brazilian Rosewood/European Spruce
Several powerhouse names came together on this one from 2006. Eric Schoenberg paired up with Victoria, B.C.’s Robert Anderson to build this 000 Standard Marty Evans model–European Spruce & Brazilian Rosewood, 12 frets to the neck and style-40 Abalone trim. The instrument is French Polished for maximum resonance with a soft V neck and wide, comfortable 1 25/32” nut for an effortless fingerpicking experience. Maple bindings and Waverly tuners round out the package.
The voice is characterized by a clean and even response across the registers, and more projection and sustain than we expected from a 000-sized flattop. It very much holds its own in Standard as well as altered tunings.Other keywords: signature guitar, ooo, 12-fret, brw, calton

2011 Borges 000-12 Fret, Madagascar Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Julius Borges knows how to utilize every square inch. This 000 form 2011 has an expansive voice that belies its petite proportions, with the perfect amount of balance and definition between the registers to make fingerstyle work absolutely sing. This gorgeous Borges is upgraded with arrow-striaght Madagascar Rosewood back and sides (looks strikingly like the best prewar BRW Martin stock) and Adirondack Spruce on top, fine herringbone trim, plus pyramid bridge for the classic flattop aesthetic. The setup is silky smooth and easy on the hands, with a 12-fret body join for extra warmth and a medium thick neck carve.
