Add to CompareBrand New Indian Hill/Michael Kennedy GC, Tamarindo/Lutz Spruce
Our latest Indian Hill GC comes with a few creature comforts to set it apart—and a gorgeously balanced and expressive voice to match. Figured Tamarindo back and sides pair up with Lutz Spruce on top, plus venetian cutaway for playability (and micro beveled bindings throughout for smooth contact with your body), and a soundport at the upper bout for a little extra “me in the monitor.” The satin neck feels effortless in-hand, and the GC body is big enough to handle a wide range of attacks with aplomb. Michael Kennedy also built this beauty with a wooden tornavoz inside the soundhole, which to our ears enhances the bass response and gives the voice a lovely touch of darkness and color in the mids.

Here we’ve landed a sharp-dressed archtop from Utah’s own Ryan Thorell that’s raring to go. This is a 2015 FV Premier (Frank Vignola model) rigged out with some mouth watering tonewoods. We’ve got lovely Figured Oregon Myrtle back and sides with a carved Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood bindings, and lovely Ebony throughout.

Add to Compare1960 Manouk Papazian Classical, Brazilian Rosewood/Spruce
Armenian luthier Manouk Papazian, based in New York for much of his career, put together an impressive body of work, ranging from Classicals like this lovely piece to violins, cellos, and even lutes. The example we have today is a Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce Concert Classical from 1960 that’s opened up sweetly and only weighs just over four pounds. The trebles are characterized by a lively string energy and clarity, and really carry the voice well, pairing with a warm and responsive bottom end and articulate midrange. We’ve gone over it with our repair staff to give it a clean bill of health; it’s got some honest play wear, which reinforces our interpretation that it’s opened up a lot, and has a lovely setup to boot.

Add to CompareBrand New McConnell 15 Inch, Padauk/Moonspruce
Winnipeg’s own Jordan McConnell has wrapped yet another jaw dropping build with 15 Inch Model #073 in Padauk and Moonspruce. Madagascar Rosewood appointments at the bridge and fretboard, plus a multiscale setup of 26 1/4” to 25 1/2”; and twin arm & rib bevels for creature comfort (note how Jordan created a braided effect with layering the Madagascar on the arm bevel). Then there’s this Padauk-Moonspruce combo. A distinctive voice that’s unique even by McConnell standards, we find this beauty has a glassy evenness across the range that mixes up gorgeously; notes ringing out clearly and without stumbling into each other. A light smattering of treble overtones cast some added color and presence, and pair up with a crisp bottom end. This is a fingerstyle phenom.

Add to Compare1967 Guild F-312, 12-String, Brazilian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce
This guitar is an instant classic. The 1967 Guild F-312 was built towards the end of their production run with Brazilian Rosewood, but nonetheless has a fantastically straight-grained set here that’d put Martin’s Brazilian of the time to shame. Spruce on top, plus a slick, smooth setup, makes for the perfect 12 string machine! Our repair staff has gone over this one tuner to tail and has buttoned it up with a freshly clean bill of health.

A gorgeous example of Daniel Friederich’s Concert model from 1971, this Classical is adorned with French Spruce on top from the Juras Mountains (the first log that Friederich purchased for himself) and Indian Rosewood back and sides. A shorter scale setup of 640mm scale adds warmth and color; Spanish Cedar neck keeps the build weight down at 3lbs 9oz. French Polish throughout.

Add to Compare2012 Froggy Bottom H14 Deluxe, Madagascar Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
A wide open crooner from Vermont’s Froggy Bottom Guitars—built in 2012 and ready for more action! The H14 Deluxe is the Froggy grand concert model, here tricked out with Curly Maple bindings, a heelcap featuring a scrimshaw tall ship, and diamonds & squares along the fretboard. The voice is wide awake and a lovely mix of warmth and power, a natural result from combining Madagascar Rosewood back and sides (premium set, quarter sawn and arrow-straight) with Adirondack Spruce on top. Setup is smooth and glassy to boot, and the addition of a venetian cutaway gives the player easy access to even those dusty top frets.

Add to Compare2005 Bourgeois Petite Jumbo Prototype, Madagascar Rosewood/Italian Spruce
We’ve landed a unique little bit of Bourgeois history today! Here’s a Prototype Petite Jumbo pioneered for the 2005 NAMM show (number 2 of 10) that’s had a few years to open up and build out its richness and warmth. Madagascar Rosewood back and sides with Italian Spruce on top, with Curly Koa bindings and green Abalone treatment on top. Part of what makes this a prototypical build is Dana’s use of a hybrid back bracing system, eschewing a just a traditional ladder throughout for an X across the lower bout and only ladder braces at the waist and upper bout. We think this helps activate the Madagascar Rosewood backplate to add tonal complexity to the voice. Speaking of which, this Bourgeois has a lot of warmth and color, with individual notes exhibiting a gorgeous blooming quality that really comes out when you play slow passages. This guitar can fill the sonic space without there having to be a torrent of sixteenth notes.

Add to Compare2009 Martin D-42 Blackwood, Tasmanian Blackwood/Adirondack Spruce
This is a new one for us! A D-42 Blackwood from Martin’s Custom Shop that’s rigged up with Tasmanian Blackwood and Adirondack Spruce. Tasmanian Blackwood is related to Koa (which also means it has similar gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous figuring), and here with Adirondack Spruce on top for added power and push, the tone is expressive, colorful, and dynamic. It mixes up beautifully across the registers, and has enough sensitivity for some fingerpicking to boot. The 42-Style treatment is always eye catching, and here pairs up perfectly with the highly figured Tassie Blackwood. Setup and playability are easy peasy—and this 2009 D-42 Blackwood model is ready for more!

Add to Compare2019 Pre-War 000 Herringbone, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
The folks at Pre-War Guitar Co. have carved out a particular niche for themselves with their old-school builds that are relic’d to match. Part of that recipe includes torrefied materials across the board, hide glue construction methods, and 1930s specs, and the rest feels like blood, sweat, and tears. This 000 Herringbone from 2019 is decked out with lovely Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Torrefied Adirondack Spruce top (as well as braces), and the trademark 000 short scale setup that’s easy on the hands and warms up the trebles. A distress level of 1.5 has also been applied, rendering some honest-looking play wear into the wood at the soundhole and pickguard, as well as the usual finish checking and crazing throughout. The original relic’d Waverly right angle tuners have been swapped for banjo-style tuners, but the originals are included as part of the sale. The voice on this one is wide, wide open—super energetic and expressive like a true prewar guitar ought to be!
