Add to Compare2008 Kinnaird CS Deluxe, Cocobolo/Adirondack Spruce
This beautiful Kinnaird CS Deluxe has opened up handsomely—blooming into a sweet rose with Cocobolo and Adirondack Spruce and slotted headstock, Abalone appointments, and a tasty shade top finish. Exquisite warmth characterizes the voice with a colorful dynamic range that works perfectly for fingerstyle, and mixes up great across the registers. Stephen Kinnaird brought this one to life in 2008, and the intervening years have opened it wide. Sweet and rich, with great note separation to make individual notes pop.

The Grand Concert model from the 900 Series boasts all-solid tonewoods, V-Class bracing and a rich appointment package that makes it an inspiration in both sound and visuals. The 912ce’s compact body shape lends it an inviting, intimate feel while playing, made even more comfortable by the ebony radius-style armrest and slender Taylor neck. The interior bracing scheme adds more volume and sustain to complement the warmth and articulation of the rosewood/spruce tonewoods, resulting in a balanced sound with clear definition between notes that will especially please fingerstyle players. Appointments such as ebony binding and Ascension inlays in paua and pearl elevate this model’s visual character. It ships with ES2 electronics and a hardshell case.

Add to Compare2012 Traugott R, Brazilian/European Spruce
This is one of a pair of R Models from Jeff Traugott’s hands, with love. Adorned with Larry Robinson inlays and sporting primo-grade Brazilian Rosewood and European Spruce, this R Cutaway cut a striking figure with sparkling Abalone trim and Venetian Cutaways. Knife-sharp trebles with a warm and responsive middle register, and that with a focused bass response to keep the voice tight and snappy. Jeff’s guitars are equally at home with picks as with fingertips, and we couldn’t help ourselves when it came time to dip into altered tuning territory—this is an incredible DADGAD guitar. A heart-throbbing Traugott R.

Add to Compare2015 Martin D14F Custom Shop, Guatemalan Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
The Custom Shop folx nailed it with this 2015 D14F Martin—fantastically balanced and responsive, lively and energetic, effortless playability. Guatemalan Rosewood back and sides pair with Adirondack Spruce on top and 28-style fretboard position markers, plus open back tuners. We love the shimmer and warmth in the midrange, and the note separation and easy playability. It’s sensitive for a fingerpicking approach just as much as it’s stiff enough for a flatpick.

Add to Compare1999 Klein Electric
More fun than you can shake a bag of strings at—and make sure they’re double-ball-ended strings at that. This headless Klein Electric from 1999 is immensely fun, and so effortless to play. The body design orients the neck perfectly for the left hand, while balancing the neck weight such that the guitar stays right in place on your right leg, no balancing required. The pickups are a set of Joe Bardens with coil taps at the volume and tone knobs for single coil screams. Combined with a five-way switch and Steinberger tremolo, this Klein Electric gives the player an immense array of tones and textures at their fingertips.

Add to Compare2019 Bourgeois Championship Dreadnought, Sinker Mahogany/AT Sitka Spruce
Built for the 2019 Winter NAMM, so of course Dana Bourgeois and his team went out of their way to make this Dreadnought a showstopper. Not only that, but this is one of Dana’s Championship models—spec’d out just like the Dread Luke Lovejoy used to take first place at the 2018 Walnut Valley Flatpicking Championship with Sinker Mahogany back and sides and an Aged Tone Sitka Spruce top. That, along with torrefied brace stock and animal protein glue construction, makes for great balance across the registers and superb note definition. This is one you can really crank up the BPM on; no muddiness at high speeds here.

Add to Compare2008 Litchfield C600 Classical, Indian Rosewood/Cedar
Coming to us wide awake and singing form 2008, this Litchfield C600 Classical’s design comes from the Smallman style of building, making the sides extra stiff to support a thinner, and more resonant/expressive top with the assistance of carbon fiber reinforcement. Here with Cedar on top, the result is a powerful warmth and dynamic response, with Indian Rosewood for the back and sides and a Gilbert-style, 12-hole bridge. An intricate crows feet rosette, executed in green, completes the picture of a modern classical designed for concert performance with clarity, power, and definition.

Add to Compare2016 Santa Cruz D/PW, Indian Rosewood/German Spruce
Built in 2016, and it’s woken up handsomely in the intervening years—this Santa Cruz D/PW Prewar is a great example of Richard Hoover’s team’s prowess at bringing prewar dreadnought details to a modern build. Indian Rosewood back and sides pair up with German Spruce on top for a bit more smoothness and warmth in the voice (especially in the trebles, sweet and round). Grained Ivoroid bindings, Santa Cruz’s open back tuners in nickel, and herringbone top trim for a classic reimagining of the D-28s of years gone by.

Add to Compare2006 Victor Baker 17″ Archtop, Flamed Maple/Sitka Spruce
2006 must have been a good year for Victor Baker, if this 17 inch archtop is any evidence. Gorgeous tonewoods, dressed up with striking Snakewood appointments, capped with a Kent Armstrong hand wound humbucker. The back and sides are 5A tight flamed Maple, pairing up with a carved Sitka Spruce top, and Maple body bindings. The tailpiece is a combination of brass frame with a removable (via magnets) Snakewood top plate—simply pop the plate and swap your strings! Volume and tone knobs at the (also) Snakewood pickguard, which matches up with the (also also) Snakewood carved bridge. The neck is a super stable multiply laminated Maple number with flattened C neck.
