Add to Compare2001 Olson SJ, Indian Rosewood/Cedar
Ah, what sweet delights twenty years offer up. This 2001 Olson SJ is gorgeous from tuner to tail, and has a voice to match—Cedar over Indian Rosewood for the classic James Olson-James Taylor sound. Smooth, bell-like trebles fill out the voice with resplendent overtones that remain clear, rather than muddy. Very well-cared for, this 2001 Olson is looking fantastic for its age, and has a glassy setup to boot. The top is trimmed out with fine herringbone, while the fretboard position markers are actually snowflakes, a detail we don’t see as often on Olsons.

Add to Compare2020 Greenfield G2, Reserve Brazilian Rosewood/Alpine Moonspruce
This guitar took center stage the second we opened the MainStage case. I mean, c’mon, with a Michael Greenfield G2 from 2020 we expected no less! Michael’s handwork is flawless, and his instruments showcase it to perfection. The curves of this G2 are inviting, with a Florentine Cutaway and Laskin-style arm bevel on top, and the body woods both come from Greenfield’s private reserve tonewood treasure trove. This Brazilian Rosewood is chocolate-dark and deceptively straight-grained. We’d have thought we were looking at an instrument from the 20s were it not for the pinless bridge, EVO frets, carved heel swoosh on the Honduran Mahogany neck—well, maybe we wouldn’t mistake it for a prewar Martin after all. On top Michael voiced a reserve set of Alpine Moonspruce for maximum balance, elegance, and power. This G2 excels as a fingerstyle guitar. It also excels with a pick. The tone ties bass, mids, and trebles together in a balanced chord that’s characterized by clear note definition and sustain.
A piece of functional art, built for longevity. This is a lifetime, heirloom Greenfield G2.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, guitarbuilding, fingerpicking, canadian guitar, modern guitar, bespoke guitar, klein, 318

Under four pounds, This Kazourian Petite plays very easily in hand or on your leg, and the 24 1/2” scale is very easy on the lefthand. The use of Gold EVO frets here means this parlor won’t need any fret work for a long time (and they look great against the Ebony fretboard and black Mahogany neck).

Add to CompareBrand New Mountain Song Odalisque, Mun Ebony/German Spruce

A contemporary iteration of a prewar classic: a David Musselwhite D-28 from 2014 dressed up with Brazilian Rosewood and a shade top finish over Spruce. The dropdead gorgeous Brazilian came from the one and only Mike Longworth of Martin! Such a powerhouse, quick response and it mixes up great across the registers for both chords and leads. A full neck profile feels very solid in hand with a V shape throughout, and we’ve got the classic combo of Waverly tuners and Abalone diamonds and squares to dress up the neck. A tight herringbone trim pattern rings in the shade top, and pairs up perfectly with Ivoroid bindings and a zigzag center strip out back.

Every Calton Case is handcrafted and custom-fit to your instrument.
How are Calton Cases made? By hand and with love. While Calton CNC initial plugs and molds for testing new styles and shapes, once they’ve tested the cases—inside and out—they are made by hand. Without giving away too many secrets, here is how they do it:
- Measurements: we rely on you (and your dealer) for precise measurements of your instruments. This ensures the perfect fit.
- Exterior I: three layers of hand-laid fiberglass build the foundation for the side walls, tops and bottoms of each case.
- Exterior II: once the fiberglass shell is trimmed, up to 97 rivets are used to adhere latches, catch surrounds (leather bumpers), protective feet and a custom leather handle.
- Interior Stage I: gluing of the rubber trim and initial placement of interior fabric, foam and lining.
- Interior Stage II: cutting and assembly of the remaining foam layers and final velvet placement.
- Squeaky Clean: we call this the “detailing” stage where we meticulously polish exteriors and vacuum interiors.
- Final Inspection: every square inch of every case is looked over, making sure it is ready for the road. We add your label (with serial number) and ship!
Add to Compare1981 Somogyi Classical, Brazilian Rosewood/Spruce
A piece of history from one of lutherie’s grandmasters: our 1981 Somogyi Concert Classical. Ervin began his career with nylon string instruments, which helps to explain how he’s able to get so much tone out of his steel strings, since he became acquainted with the extra sensitivities that go into building for nylon strings at en early stage. This beauty is rich and clear, having opened up handsomely for the past almost 40 years. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Spruce on top, and Ervin carved a full neck profile with well-rounded cheeks.
His trademark scalloped nut weighs in at 52.5mm with a 651mm scale to match. The Burl headstock veneer is another hallmark of Ervin’s style, and this Concert Classical features a bookmatched version that sets of Ervin’s crenellated headstock perfectly. This is an incredibly lightly built (3lbs 2oz) and responsive instrument from one of the industry’s finest makers, and we’re proud to offer it to you now.Other keywords: classical, classical music, luthier, responsive guitar, nylon-string, karura, marquetry, mosaic
