Powerful and easy on the eyes. Guild’s classic D-55 Dreadnought comes to us here from 2017 with Rosewood body and Sitka Spruce on top, a tasty antique burst finish, and Abalone appointments to dress it to the nines and back. Lovely setup with spare saddles to handle changes in season and climate, plus a comfortable C profile neck and 1 11/16” nut well-suited to deft lefthand work.

Add to Compare2013 Charis SJ, Cocobolo/Cedar
Wide awake and singing oh so clear, our Charis SJ from 2013 is the perfect choice for anyone who wants a guitar that can do it all while looking good at the same time. This number is dressed to the nines with Red Cedar on top, brick-red Cocobolo back and sides with Tzalam bindings, and capped with a colorful, modern tree of life vine inlaid along the fretboard. Add to that a venetian cutaway, soundport, arm bevel, and L.R. Baggs Lyric pickup system, and you’ve got an exercise in effortlessness. The sides are deep enough to enhance projection and round out the bass response, but the lower bout is still only 15 3/8” wide in Bill Wise’s SJ configuration, so this beauty is very comfortable in hand.

Add to CompareCalton Case for Dreadnought 14-Fret
Made in Canada Calton Flight case is in very good condition. It has superficial scuffs but is in excellent structural condition. All four hasps operate as intended and each one can be locked with the included key. Includes a detachable carrying strap.
Calton provides top of the line protection for your Dreadnought acoustic guitar, and this pre-owned case is priced much less than a new one.

We’ve seen a number of Jeff’s R models come through the shop, and a fair number of his BKs too, but only rarely have we had the chance to see a 00. And that’s a shame, because this number from 2008 is here to tell us that Jeff has perfected the small body guitar just as handily as he has the medium and the large. What an exquisite voice, lovely balance across the registers and equal parts energetic and elegant. Lots of projection under the hood, ready to burst out of the soundhole with even a light attack. It’s really a wonderful example of Jeff’s lutherie chops. The classic Traugott combination of German Spruce over Brazilian Rosewood is here in full force; combined with a 24.9” scale, 1 3.4” nut, and 2 3/8” saddle spacing for a spacious, comfortable righthand experience. Try and find a bad note on this guitar, we dare you.

Add to Compare2010 Olson SJ, Indian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
2010 Olson SJ. Need we say more? A played-in beauty that’s opened up handsomely and ready for more action. Done up gorgeous with additional Abalone trim and rosette at the top. Indian Rosewood body upgraded with an Engelmann Spruce top to set it apart from the usual Cedar Olson crowd. The result is a bit more edge and power that makes the midrange crisp and articulate. Ready to make this one yours? Shout before it’s gone!

Add to CompareBrand New Musser OM, Brazilian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
With OM number 358, Don gives us a gorgeous example of the dynamism and wide-ranging appeal of this body size. This brand new Musser is responsive to many different styles of play, has a clarity and precision in the trebles that pairs up nicely with a sweet, rich bottom end, and the fit and finish are flawless from tuner to tail. For this build, Don picked out a chocolatey set of Brazilain Rosewood for the back and sides, paired it with Colorado Engelmann Spruce on top, and bound it all up with some truly lovely Curly Bigleaf Maple bindings (extra bevelled for creature comfort). And caps it off with a dalmatian style pickguard and Abalone rosette plus MOP torch headstock.

Add to Compare2010 Sheppard Grand Concert Minstrel, Amazon Rosewood/Caucasian Spruce
We love this one. A controlled, balanced, and articulate voice paired with a wider nut for fingerstyle play and some ergonomic features to maximize player comfort. Our 2010 Grand Concert Minstrel from Gerald Sheppard is hands down a gorgeous guitar on every level. Amazon Rosewood body with Caucasian Spruce on top, dual arm and rib bevels (plus a bevelled cutaway), and the aforementioned 1 13/16” nut all come together in an easy-playing, expressive package. There’s also a soundport! And Fossilized Walrus Ivory nut & saddle. Gerald built this as a deep body variation on his standard GC, and the added depth gives a darkness and power to the bottom end that we especially enjoy in dropped tunings.
Wanna hear it flatpicked? (Hint, it sounds great with a pick!) Here’s our own Allen Shadd with the Sheppard GC: https://youtu.be/HSm380PjLFU

Add to Compare2007 McPherson MG 4.5XP, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
We’ve landed a lovely McPherson MG 4.5XP from 2007 that’s been played in and is singing with a wide awake voice today. And it’s got a lot to sing about! Dramatic, figured Brazilian Rosewood body with Adirondack Spruce on top, Figured Koa bindings throughout; plus McPherson’s XP oversized soundhole and easy playing setup. The L.R. Baggs pickup system, complete with volume control at the soundhole, sounds fantastic, and will carry you faithfully on to the stage. This one holds up very well in a group setting as well—with McPherson’s second biggest body size, this MG 4.5XP has a lot of power under the hood, waiting to be let out.

Add to Compare2001 Sobell Model 1, Cocobolo/German Spruce
Stefan Sobell’s Model 1 design is a fantastic example of a desert island guitar: it handles a wide range of musics, can be played hard or soft, and projects powerfully without being a full tilt jumbo guitar. This particular example from 2001 is proof of all that and more, here decked out with a three-piece Cocobolo back and German Spruce top, crows’ feet appointments, and a slinky low setup that’s effortless under your fingers. A Highlander IP-1 pickup will take you right up to the stage, and a Calton flight case will keep this Sobell safe and sound on those rare moments you aren’t playing it. Built in 2001, this Model 1 has had some good playing time under its belt and is oh. so. wide open.

Martin’s 00-28VS Vintage Series, ready for action! This powerhouse little number from 2013 is wide awake and as easy on the hands as it is the ears. 12 frets to the body with Sitka Spruce over Indian Rosewood, herringbone trim throughout, and a scalloped bracing pattern to maximize this 00 top’s real estate for a warm, balanced, expressive voice.

Add to CompareBrand New Applegate FS/H, Quilted Mahogany/Adirondack Spruce
Rather than just make a gorgeous guitar for his 200th, Brian Applegate decided to lean into the spirit of experimentation and design with this FS/H hybrid model. With an arched back paired to a flat top, the body has more air to move without necessarily being a bigger guitar, so playability remains easy and familiar, and there’s still the crispness and attack we associate with a flattop design to round out the voice. Brian opted for Quilted Mahogany for the back and sides, pairing up with Adirondack Spruce on top for added stiffness and power, plus his classic five-ply neck in slim profile for stability and easy playing. A geometric rosette and Brazilian Rosewood bridge, plus Macassar Ebony fretboard, offer a tasteful and elegantly understated aesthetic.

Add to Compare2021 Eastman Cabaret, Maple/Spruce
Now here’s an incredible deal. Always wanted a Buscarino Cabaret but couldn’t afford it? Try on this 2021 Eastman Cabaret for size. John worked directly with Eastman to design an affordable Crossover guitar, and they nailed it. 12 fret neck with a radiused fretboard, slimmer nut at 1 15/16”, plus subtle cutaway and soundport? Yes, please! And this beauty has a James May Ultra Tonic pickup with soundhole-mounted volume control—and this pickup sounds oh so incredible. Figured Maple body with Spruce on top.

Add to CompareBrand New Preston Thompson D-SBA-42, Shipwreck Brazilian/Adirondack
Wow, and wow. We’re struck by this one from our friends at Preston Thompson Guitars—it’s a real force of nature. One of our clients commissioned this build with us, and we’ve had such a blast collaborating with him and the PKT team. The voice is immense, and balanced, with striking clarity and power in the trebles and a bottom end that is rich and palpable. Pairing up handsomely with an articulate and even midrange to boot. And this isn’t surprising, given what we’ve heard from other Shipwreck builds—Thompson’s supply of Shipwreck Brazilian Rosewood is growing thin, while their extant guitars are growing in popularity (and tone as they open up). Adirondack Spruce on top with a well-executed 42-Style trim package throughout, gold Waverly tuners, and a K&K Pure Mini pickup. This D-SBA-42 has it all, and we’re so excited to put in the hands of someone who we know will cherish it. Interested in a build of your own? Give us a shout! We love working with folx on custom projects big and small.

Add to Compare2006 Manzer Crossover, Indian Rosewood/Cedar
A special treat if ever we saw one. Here we’ve landed a lovely Manzer Crossover from 2006 that’s opened up handsomely with Indian Rosewood and Cedar and is ready for more action. Crossovers are the perfect choice for the steel string player who wants to expand their tonal horizons and master a new kind of play feel with nylon strings, but with the creature comforts of a steel string guitar to make it easy to play and, frankly, more fun. Here of course Linda used her patented Manzer Wedge body design to tilt the guitar top up and back a touch towards the player, and added a cutaway for upper fret access. Then there’s a radiused fretboard and pickup + mic internal electronics. This one’s set up for just about every genre you throw at it.

Add to CompareBrand New Preston Thompson DBA-45, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Brand new and raring to go! This Preston Thompson DBA-45 is as beautiful to the eyes as it is to the ears, and plays handsomely to boot. Lovely, chocolate-dark Brazilian Rosewood body with Adirondack Spruce on top, Mahogany neck plus 1 3/4” nut, and stunning 45-style appointments throughout. That’s over 240” of Abalone on the top, back, and sides! These elements take a tremendous amount of time and skill to make come together at such a high level of quality. To date, the Preston Thompson team has only made five other 45-style guitars before this one, so this is very special to say the least. It’s is what a Bluegrass cannon should be: powerful, articulate, and rewarding.
