This one’s more than ready for action. Such a quick, energetic, expressive flattop! Dion knows how to tune his guitars for great responsiveness, note separation, and power–which this nearly new 2021 No.04 model has in spades. Indian Rosewood body with Italian Spruce top for starters; add a unique U brace around the soundhole and throw in a carbon fiber bridge plate, 10″ arch to the back, and micro arm bevel for a vibrant, modern voice and sharp aesthetic. The neck is satin finished and is one of the smoothest we’ve perhaps ever handled here in the shop, and on top Dion installed EVO frets in an Ebano fingerboard to keep the setup dialed in for the long haul. Notice the attention to every detail: right down to the nut that’s inset into the board. Sheller tuners just above that to round out the sharp-dressed looks.
If you’re looking for a modern flattop that comes preloaded with an expressive voice and added dynamism, plus effortless playability, this 2021 Dion No.04 could be just the ticket.

Add to Compare2020 Brondel A2C, Cuban Mahogany/German Spruce
Livewire! Quick, expressive, energetic, raring to go. Laurent Brondel builds an excellent modern flattop for all your fingerpicking, flatpicking, hybrid picking, strumming needs. This 2020 A2C is a lot of fun, rigged up with Cuban Mahogany body and European Spruce on top, gold EVO frets, a James May pickup system, cutaway, and upgraded Brazilian Rosewood bridge and fingerboard. Part of Brondel’s magic comes from his technique of arching the top, rather than the more typical radiusing approach, which results in added energy and projection on this A2C. The Hog body offers a crisp, woody fundamental that makes notes ring out clearly without turning into mud when played fast or hard.

Here we’ve landed a quite played in, and quite wide awake, Crossover Classical with cutaway from two powerhouse Australian luthiers SImon Marty and Robin Moyes in a rare collaboration for virtuoso Slava Grigoryan. Indian Rosewood body with Spruce top, 650mm scale, and the aforementioned cutaway for easy access to the topmost frets. The pickup system combines an L.R. Baggs Anthem SL with an additional internal microphone, and the result is incredible plugged in. This was Grigoryan’s touring guitar for a number of years, and it’s got the marks to prove it–and we’re happy to report that all that playtime has rendered the voice wide, wide open.

Add to Compare2002 Ryan Mission Grand Concert, Brazilian/Bosnian Spruce, Owned By Laurence Juber
2002 must have been a particularly good year for Kevin Ryan, because this Mission Grand Concert is nothing short of incredible. Brazilian Rosewood body with Bosnian Spruce top, Abalone appointments, and the glassy setups and play feel that Kevin is so well known for–plus this beauty has the added benefit of having been Laurence Juber’s personal Ryan. Needless to say, the mojo is there. Great note separation across the registers, and an extra meaty midrange really makes for a lively and fun playing experience. Great headroom on those glassy trebles, very tasty indeed.

Add to CompareBrand New Serracini Baritone, Madagascar Rosewood/Italian Spruce
Yes, it’s that good. This is our first Multiscale Baritone from Davide Serracini–but it won’t be the last! A great mix of power, clarity, and note separation sets this one apart from the bari crowd, and the playability is as glassy and smooth as a regular flattop. The multiscale setup extends from a 28″ low B to 27″ at the first string, enough spread to enhance power on the bottom end and pair it with easy playing and singing trebles. An essential part of any fingerstylist’s collection, this Serracini Baritone makes for an exquisite playing experience to expand your horizons. Madagascar Rosewood body with Italian Spruce on top, gold EVO frets, Mahogany neck, and we asked Davide to dress this one up a bit, which he’s managed in high style. Geometric designs tie the headstock, rosette, and endgraft together.
Ready to experience real power? Step up, buckle in, and hold on.

Add to Compare2015 PRS Private Stock Angelus, Madagascar Rosewood/European Bearclaw Spruce
The PRS team has their process dialed in: this 2015 Private Stock Angelus is flawless from tuners to tail, well balanced from bass to treble, and dressed up with primo tonewoods for a sharp aesthetic. Madagascar Rosewood back and sides boast some pretty dramatic figuring, paired with European Spruce on top plus figured Koa bindings and bird position markers. The rosette is their interweaving “three circle” design, also rendered in Koa plus Maple. The top has some lovely bearclaw figuring throughout, which works well against the tight flame of the Koa bindings. The neck has been upgraded with an adjustable truss rod, which certainly sets this one apart, and a wide neck carve that feels great in hand, especially if you want a little more lefthand contact. Under the hood you’ll find a Fishman Matrix pickup system; outside you’ll find this beauty comes wrapped up in a custom Ameritage case.

Add to Compare2021 Southwell Hauser Model, Flame Maple/German Spruce
Clean energy is possible in this world, after all. The voice on this 2021 Hauser Model from Gary Southwell is just that: clean, energetic, expressive. We love the sweetness he’s coaxed out of the tight-flamed Maple body, and with a German Spruce top gifted to him by the venerable Julian Bream, it’s no wonder the voice is so rich and expansive. And such a lightweight build! This one comes in a little over three pounds soaking wet. Rodgers tuners at the headstock with MOP buttons; french polish finish throughout with an amazing clearness and luster only found from the finest french polishers; an intricate and flawlessly executed rosette to ring in the soundhole and pair up with the multiple purflings of the top bindings. Gary designed this model after Bream’s 1940 Hauser I which he used for much of his later career.

Add to Compare2009 Tom Bills G2, Indian Rosewood/Sinker Redwood
Who needs a soundhole when you’ve got a soundport like this! Our 2009 G2 from Tom Bills packs quite a punch with his soundhole-less design that maximizes the efficiency of the SInker Redwood top (plus Indian Rosewood body) for a voice that’s equal parts power, warmth, and punch. Additionally, the soundport offers a great in-ear experience for the player, making it much easier (and richer) to hear yourself. Flame Koa bindings throughout set off the Rosewood & Redwood combo, and an L.R. Baggs Lyric pickup system has been installed to carry all of that faithfully onto stage with you.

What better way to open up the premium Brazilian Rosewood body and Adirondack Spruce top than to have Mr. Juber’s hands at the helm? It’s certainly wide awake, with a quick and lively string energy across the registers, plus trebles that really cut through the mix.

Jim Redgate is well known in the classical guitar world for his modern, expressive, and dynamic creations. And when you’ve got talent as serious as Ana Vidovic sporting your guitars–with her own Redgate model no less–you know the hype is real. This 2015 Wave model is a special treat, then, with Brazilian Rosewood body and a Spruce/Cedar double top that’s been “bent” at the upper bout to allow easier access to the elevated fingerboard, as well as add cross-grain stiffness to the top for extra volume and punch. The result is excellent power, balanced across the registers. In short, a work of functional art. This Redgate Wave comes to us from 2015 and is in great playing shape with only a few minor marks.

When our repair staff get a hold of a project Martin with great potential, they make sure the job’s done right. We took in this 1943 000 as a 000-21 with a number of issues, and over time stabilized everything and brought it back to life, then took it one step further and upgraded the appointments from a 21 to more of a 40 or 42 style hybrid. Ken and Joe did an incredible job bringing this beauty back into premium playing shape, and now it’s raring to go!

The use of such night-dark Brazilian Rosewood makes for added glass and bass response, separating this one from many other Taylors that have come through our shop without sacrificing any of the top end sparkle. Maple bindings throughout, Taylor’s Expression II pickup system with onboard EQ, and a striped wood pickguard to contrast the pale Spruce top.
