2018 Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe, Indian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce
Martin’s Modern Deluxe line is appropriately named—bringing together classic aesthetics and build methods with modern materials and playability. This 2018 D-28 Modern Deluxe has Indian Rosewood for the back and sides, Sitka Spruce on top featuring their VTS (Vintage Tone System) torrefication, bound in Maple and trimmed with herringbone. Under the hood you’ll find a carbon fiber bridge plate, implemented to increase power and projection, plus a forward shifted X brace. Martin’s High Performance Taper neck profile makes for effortless playability (plus a satin neck finish for squeak-free lefthand work); EVO frets assure longevity and set off the gold Waverly open back tuners.

The fine team at Huss & Dalton Guitars brings us this 2015 TD-R Custom rigged out with dramatically figured Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, torrefied Adirondack Spruce top, and herringbone trim for a classic traditional aesthetic. The voice is wide open, very clear and articulate, and sensitive enough for fingerstyle play in addition to the flatpicking approach we’d more commonly associate with a dreadnought.

Here’s one to lose track of time with. Our latest OM from Italy’s Noemi Schembri is simply fantastic—well balanced and responsive, mixing a rich bottom end with bell-like trebles, plus a gorgeous aesthetic. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pair up with Italian Spruce on top with Ebony bindings throughout, and a stunning burl wood rosette to set off the pale Spruce and modern angular cutaway. This one loves DADGAD as much as Standard, and has lots of dynamic range for playing softly as well as with a more aggressive attack. It’s got lots of gears, so to speak. And it’s ready for action!

Martin’s D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged may be a mouthful, but it’s worth it. The torrefied tonewoods make for added power, articulation, and balance, and Martin’s relic job to make it look the part. This beauty comes to us from 2018 and is wide awake and ready for action as a result of Martin’s vintage-ification aging process. Full neck profile feels familiar as family, with a 1 23/32” nut that’s very easy in hand. Madagascar Rosewood with Adirondack Spruce on top, you just can’t go wrong.

A well-oiled machine. The R model of Lars Rasmussen is small bodied with a 14 1/4” lower bout and sub-four pounds’ build weight, making this guitar exceptionally comfortable in hand. The 25” scale, 16-20” compound radius fretboard, and soft V neck profile make it even moreso. The back and sides are Brazilian Rosewood imported all the way back in 1952, part of Lars’ personal stash, and are here paired with Italian Spruce on top for a great mixture of glassy trebles and a solid, earthy midrange. Gold EVO frets guarantee you won’t need a fret dress for a long time to come, and gold Alessi tuners at the headstock seal the deal with elegance. Built in 2019, this beauty is in excellent condition and setup for effortless playability.

Brand new and raring to go. Our latest Dreadnought from Don Musser is dressed to the nines with The Tree Mahogany, Engelmann Spruce, and Curly Maple bindings throughout. Mahogany neck, currently set up with light strings, feels very easy in hand. We found it adapted well to both flatpicking and fingers with that light setup to boot. Gold Gotoh tuners at the headstock set off the Pearl trim and Rosewood veneer, as well as the scalloped nut (matching up with a scalloped saddle at the Ebony bridge). Dalmation pickguard plus Paua Abalone rosette and trim—this Musser’s a looker as much as a singer.

Martin’s Custom Shop team does it right. Here’s a great example from 2008 that’s outfitted with Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, Italian Spruce top, and 42-style Abalone appointments for flair, plus a Flamed Spanish Cedar neck and Modified V profile. Through a venetian cutaway into the mix? Why not! Then cap off this Custom Shop OM-28V with Waverly tuners and an Abalone torch inlaid at the headstock.

Another example of why we do this: a custom build with a longtime client and one of our talented builders. This time we spec’d out a Premier model from Peggy White as a full time DADGAD fingerstyle guitar, outfitted with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and Italian Spruce on top. That combination is definitely part of where the glassy top end and chocolate-rich midrange come from, plus Peggy’s chops with the chisel and the rasp. A geometric motif at the rosette offers a fun contrast to the svelte curves of the waist and venetian cutaway, and the very subtle arm bevel at the lower bout.

Ricky Skaggs’ right hand guitar man with Kentucky Thunder, Cody Kilby, here teams up with the PRS Private Stock team on a powerhouse signature model that’s balanced to a T and handsomely wide awake. This beauty comes to us from 2013 and has opened up nicely, with jaw-dropping Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and Adirondack Spruce on top. The sides are shorter than PRS’s standard dimensions, making this guitar even more comfortable in hand, and the setup is delightfully effortless. Gives your fingers wings! Speaking of which, Kilby opted for Abalone position markers reminiscent of old school banjos rather than the more common PRS birds. Lastly, the PRS acoustic pickup array has been included with a volume knob inside the soundhole.

For the 2011 Woodstock Luthier Showcase, John Osthoff decided to pull out all the stops, or carbs in the case of this cannabis inlaid OM. Suited up to impress with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and a Sinker Redwood top, and this dark, moody visual matches perfectly the warmth and richness of the voice. Evo frets for longevity, an easy setup for fingerstyle, and a curvy C profile neck that feels great in hand. Snakewood bindings and a Spalted Maple rosette set off the cannabis inlay package at the bridge and fretboard, and Cosmo Black Gotoh 510 Delta tuners do the same at the headstock.

Quick, crisp, expressive, and energetic. These are the first words that come to mind the moment after the first notes fade away, which admittingly is a loooong moment. This 2019 GF model from Michael Greenfield is outfitted with Wenge back and sides and Moonspruce on top, plus his glassy setup and play feel and a florentine cutaway. Fit and finish is flawless throughout, and gold Gotoh tuners at the headstock pair up with a spalted rosette and Ebony bindings for a gorgeous look. To our ears, the Wenge body lends an evenness and clarity to the voice that the Moonspruce amplifies, giving the guitar smooth depth and lively dynamic range. Well cared for, this 2019 GF is in great playing shape; oh so ready for more action.

McPherson’s third ever Camrielle model—and this beauty sings. The slimmer proportions of this 2011 CMG 4.0 makes for added punch and clarity; bundle that into the richness and colorful response of Engelmann Spruce over Madagascar Rosewood—the result is smooth, rich definition from bottom to top. Curly Maple bindings set off the Rosewood-Spruce, and also ring in the offset McPherson soundhole for flair. The Rosewood bridge lines up perfectly with the Rosewood fingerboard and headplate veneer, itself capped with the McPherson logo and gold Waverly tuners. The V neck, with a 25.5” scale and 1 3/4” nut, plays very easily—and we had a blast tuning this one down to DADGAD. It even held up well in C#. Plug in with the L.R. Baggs Element pickup system for all of that in an amplified setting.
Hands down, this 2011 McPherson Camrielle is an exquisite example of McPherson’s contributions to modern lutherie: articulate, responsive, eminently playable.Other keywords: 1941, fingerstyle, maddie, ameritage, cmg-4.0, cmg4.0

Such a sweet voice! This 2016 Brondel A-2 has it all: silky setup, smooth response and crisp projection, and an accurate, defined voice that remains so even when we tested it in C9 waters. Upgraded with Madagascar Rosewood back and sides plus German Spruce on top and burl appointments at the headstock, rosette, and heelcap. Laurent lets the quality of the woods speak for themselves with an overall understated appointment aesthetic, crowned by delicate crow’s feet trim along the top and Waverly tuners with black pearl knobs. We found this A-2 was equally at home with fingerstyle play as with flatpicking, offering up clarity and consistency across all the registers. With a 25” scale and 1 3/4” nut plus C-shaped neck, this Brondel plays very easily, indeed. All wrapped up in a custom Hoffee case!
