Add to Compare2001 Antonio Marin Montero Bouchet, Brazilian Rosewood/Spruce
A Bouchet model from Antonio Marin Montero from 2001, decked out with Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce, makes for an impressive guitar indeed. This beauty has been lovingly played in, and is wide awake with over 20 years under its belt. Build weight is a slim 3.5lbs, with 650mm scale and 52mm nut. A slightly fuller neck profile feels lovely in hand, especially if you have larger hands, and the setup is right in the pocket to boot. French Polish finish throughout, from such a master as Marin Montero, is fantastically transparent and keeps the soundboard as light and resonant as possible.

Add to Compare2020 Fender LTD American Professional Stratocaster, Desert Sand
Often copied, but never surpassed, the Stratocaster is arguably the world’s most-loved electric guitar. Electrifying the music world since its debut in 1954, its natural, versatile sound made the Stratocaster the benchmark for exceptional guitar tones. The American Professional Stratocaster isn’t a re-imagining of the classic design; it’s the authentic original model, evolved.

This 2012 Dreadnought from Jordan McConnell is, simply put, a powerhouse. Strength, this guitar has in spades, and balanced from bass to trebles for both the fingerstylist and the flatpicker. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pair up with Adirondack Spruce on top, and the rosette is a stunning example of Jordan’s intricate mosaic work bounded between Abalone circles. Oil finish neck feels effortless and familiar in hand, and the 1.75”/2.25”/25.4” setup works fantastically in dropped tunings just as quickly as standard.

Add to Compare1995 Bown Baritone, Brazilian Rosewood/European Spruce
Here we’ve landed a true gem! What better way to explore a whole new kind of flattop experience than a Baritone, especially one built by the one and only Ralph Bown? This beauty comes to us from 1995, so has had a few decades of music under its belt and it’s wide awake. 28.5” scale means massive power, yet the setup remains easy on the hands. Richly colored Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pairs up with European Spruce on top, plus MOP diamond position markers for a touch of classic class. A Highlander IP-1 pickup carries all this powerhouse tone faithfully onto the stage, and a strap button at the center of the heel means you can strap in and save your back a bit to boot.

Add to Compare1971 David Rubio Concert Classical, Brazilian Rosewood/Spruce
It’s such a pleasure to have a Concert Classical that’s been played on stage and resonating in the hearts of many an audience since 1971. This David Rubio, originally commissioned by Mike Caruso who has owned it all along, is a prime example of the special alchemy that occurs when a guitar is played in extensively: it is wide, wide awake. Excellent clarity and power across the range, with a crispness in the top end that projects very smoothly. Side dots are a visual creature comfort to aid in lefthand orienteering to boot! The body is classic Spruce over Brazilian Rosewood and weighs in under four pounds. 650mm scale and 52mm nut on a somewhat slender neck profile. This beauty has the marks of a professionally played and maintained instrument, and is in great working shape for its next owner.

Add to Compare1984 Somogyi Dreadnought, Brazilian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce
Ervin Somogyi may be the grandfather of contemporary fingerstyle guitar-building, but we’ve got a 1984 Dreadnought of his that proves his work excels under a flatpick just as well. We’ve even got a few photos from Ervin showing Dan Crary playing this very guitar as proof. This is a gorgeous example of Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce, plus a Florentine Cutaway and 25.25” scale, that’s a breeze to play with fingers or picks. The shorter scale sweetens up the treble strings without compromising the bass response, and we love how the balanced middle register fills out the voice.
The setup is dialed into a sweet spot for a variety of attacks, and the strikingly Flamed Mahogany neck is a smooth, slim operator for deft lefthand work. This Somogyi Dread is in great shape, especially considering it’s been cruising along for over 35 years!Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, dreadnaught, birdseye, schaller, brazilain

Add to Compare2021 Solveig & Andreas Kirschner Double Top Classical, Indian Rosewood/Cedar
This 2021 Double Top Classical from Solveig & Andreas Kirschner, here with a short 640mm scale setup, combines power and warmth with an easy playability and featherweight construction. Built as a collaboration with the fine folx at Siccas Guitars, this Double Top boasts Cedar up top with Indian Rosewood back and sides, an elevated fingerboard, and gold Pagos tuners at the headstock. Weighing in just over three pounds, this Double Top is resonant and responsive in hand. We love the slight C shape to the Spanish Cedar neck (though we still consider the profile overall to be a D shape), and French Polish throughout.

Add to CompareBrand New Klein 426, Myrtlewood/Torrefied Sitka
Our latest 426 from Steve Klein and Steve Kauffman is hands down a knockout. Gorgeous Myrtlewood back and sides with lovely dramatic figure, paired with a Torrefied Sitka Spruce top, makes for a quick, lively, and expressive guitar that’s equally at home with a pick as fingers. The 426 body fills the niche between their 396 and the full tilt 457, and that middle ground gives a great balance of projection and note definition. Add a soundport to the mix, plus all the usual Klein innovations like the integrated nut, access panel, and engineered bridge, and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind modern guitar on your hands.

Add to Compare2019 Borghino BB1, Italian Walnut/Italian Spruce
Italy’s Mirko Borghino has collaborated with Italy’s Francesco Buzzurro for this boutique hybrid archtop nylon string 2019 BB1 equally at home for jazz and the classical repertoire. An arched Italian Walnut body is paired with a carved Italian Spruce top from the Val di Fiemme, Alessi tuners, and the dynamite Graph Tech Ghost nylon string pickup system. This offers both 1/4” and MIDI outputs plus volume knobs for both outputs, and bass, treble, mid, and mid sweep tone. So many options! The Borghino BB1 is immensely fun to play, hands down. It handles a wide range of styles and attacks with aplomb, plays effortlessly, and has a lively and quick response that translates perfectly from an acoustic setting into amplified territory.

Add to Compare2007 Overton Dreadnought, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Built in 2007 and ready for action! We’ve landed a gorgeous example of Dennis Overton’s work with this Dreadnought dressed up in Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce and bespoke candle inlay at the headstock. Overton worked with the one and only John Arnold for years, and it’s easy to so the influence of John’s traditional methods on Overton’s builds. Here the Brazilian is a surprisingly light colored set, and is set off with Ivoroid bindings that pair up nicely with the tight-grain Ady top. We’ve gone over this one tuners to tail and are happy to give it a clean bill of health. And we’ll be even happier to give it a new home! Give us a shout.

We lost Alaskan luthier Tom Malapanis several years ago, but not before he was able to leave us with an impressive body of work.

French Polish finish throughout, plus a fairly chunky Mahogany neck; this Malapanis feels lovely in hand with a 650mm scale and 52mm nut.

Add to CompareBrand New Rein RJN-3, Macassar Ebony/Port Orford Cedar
Such a powerful example of modern lutherie. The voice of this brand new Rein RJN-3 is exceptionally clear and smooth, with a lovely balance across the registers. Port Orford Cedar top pairs with Macassar Ebony back and sides (with dramatic dark and light bands of alternating grain); Tom’s ingenious adjustable neck angle system; Mahogany neck with a generous C profile carve and EVO frets. The PO Cedar is french polished for maximum resonance, and elsewhere Tom used a catalyzed urethane finish for a bit extra protection. A glossy neck never felt so smooth! If you’re looking for a guitar that’s responsive to a T, and well adapted to a range of tunings, this Rein RJN-3 is the one for you.

A 2020 build from Joel Michaud that’s already wide awake, dressed to the nines, and playing effortlessly? That’s what we’re fortunate enough to have in the shop today. Such a feat of modern lutherie. Amazon Rosewood back and sides, pencil straight and ruddy red, plus master grade Moonspruce on top and a multiscale design at 26 inches down to 25.4 inches, makes for an incredibly resonant fingerstyle guitar that’s equally at home in Standard as it is in DADGAD or C tunings. It’s the kind of guitar where even flubbed notes sound good. Additionally, Michaud added twin arm & rib bevels for creature comfort, and an eliptical soundport to boot. Plus EVO frets for longevity! And the cream on top is Joel’s addition of oxidized metal appointments at the rosette, headstock, and endgraft.

This is our first Simon Marty, and we’re already eager for the next! Such a lovely example of the contemporary classical guitar from 2008. Pardo back and sides strike a rich red hue, and pair with Spruce on top and a Gilbert-style bridge plus arm rest. An intricate and colorful mosaic rosette pops very nicely; plus a slightly slender neck profile feels glossy and easy in hand. Gilbert tuners at the headstock are a plus, with a 650mm scale and 52mm nut. All wrapped up in a custom Karura case for maximum safety on those rare moments you aren’t playing it!

Add to Compare2016 Preston Thompson Dreadnought, Shipwreck Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
We’ve been eagerly waiting for a Preston Thompson Dreadnought to land in our lap, and our patience has been rewarded handsomely! This 2016 Preston Thompson is dressed up in their secret stash “Shipwreck” Brazilian Rosewood with an Adirondack Spruce top and Abalone torch inlaid across the headstock. Logo on the backstrap, herringbone trim and a zigzag backstrip; to call it gorgeous would be an understatement.
The projection and dynamic response from this guitar are inspirational to say the least, with a powerful bass register that’s defined rather than muddy, paired with crisp trebles and a colorful midrange. Played gently or with gusto, this PKT Dread exhibits a robust fundamental and impressive sustain. The playability is exceptional, the condition impeccable, and the tone incredible. Need a dread for the stage? This beauty comes with one of James May’s Utra Tonic pickups! Lesser Dreadnoughts, beware! You’re owners might not look at you the same way after they’ve played this Preston Thompson.
