We’ve landed a Martin D-18 Custom Shop from 2007 that’s wide awake and raring to go—and dressed up for a night on the town to boot. A lovely shade top finish on top adds drama to the Spruce, and pairs up handsomely with Rosewood bondings and lovely Quilted Mahogany back and sides. Nickel Waverly tuners feel fondly familiar in hand, as does the soft V neck and 1 3/4” nut plus 2 5/16” saddle spacing. The voice has great balance across the registers, and frankly holds up quite well for fingerpicking when you aren’t leaning in with a flatpick (which of course it handles with aplomb). Well cared for and in great playing shape—nab it while you can!

Add to Compare2021 Lowden S-50 12-Fret, Cocobolo Rosewood/Driftwood Red Cedar
George Lowden’s S body is petite, and offers an easy playing experience. It also affords an immediacy and intimacy to the voice that’s particularly present in this 2021 S-50. Such a unique sound. With Cocobolo and “Driftwood” Sinker Cedar on top, this one looks gorgeous as well—and these woods also help fill out the voice and add even more warmth and power to the overtones. The short, 24 3/4” scale is very easy on the hands, and adds roundness to the trebles. This Lowden is not one to let slip away; you won’t want to let go.

Add to Compare2015 Huss & Dalton MJ Custom, Flame Mahogany/Bearclaw Sitka
The must be doing something right over there in Staunton, Virginia. The Huss & Dalton team knocks it out of the park with this 2015 MJ Custom, dressed to the nines with a tuxedo-dark aesthetic. Flamed Mahogany body with Bearclaw Sitka on top, rope style appointments plus Koa bindings and pickguard—and rigged up with a K&K Pure Mini to boot. This big boy is actually a lightweight in hand at just under four pounds, and that translates into a lot of projection and power equally at home with flatpicks as fingertips.

Add to CompareKarura – Insert for Karura Dreadnought Case with Blue Interior to Convert to OM/000 Size Case RESERVED FOR Verlonn Valencia
This insert is perfect to allow a Karura Dreadnought size case to be used for an OM or 000 size guitar.
The insert is intended to be used with a Blue interior Karura Dreadnought case such as the Karura Dreadnought Guitar Carbon Fiber Flight Case – Cocoa Brown/Brown but it will fit any Karura Dreadnought size case if interior color matching is not a concern.

Anyone fancy a like new 2020 Cabaret from our own John Buscarino? We thought so! John’s nylon crossover is an exercise in effortless playability and powerful projection, thanks to creature comforts in the form of cutaway, soundport, and radiused fretboard, plus a carved Indian Rosewood back to add interior space and projection. The Carpathian Spruce top is trimmed out with lovely Curly Koa, and at the headstock we find a smooth-turning set of Schaller tuners with Snakewood buttons. The bridge and headplate veneer are upgraded with Brazilian Rosewood, and John adorned the soundhole with one of his intertwining ribbon-style rosettes that’s just stunning. Plus this beauty is rigged up with a James May Ultra Tonic to carry you faithfully on to the stage.

The iconic Gibson Flying V—here in its rare V2 form, made only 1979-1982.

Matt Mustapick’s work with multiscale designs have yielded some incredible results, like this wonderchild OM from 2008. Gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pair up Bearclaw Spruce plus Cocobolo appointments throughout. Koa bindings transition gracefully into a Ryan-style arm bevel on top, and match up with the rosette and fingerboard bindings. Tonally, this Mustapick has a great dynamic range and a wide color palette from solid, powerful trebles to a warm and intimately expressive bottom end. The multiscale range offers a spread from 26 1/4” at the bass to 25 1/2” at the trebles, perfect for Standard, DADGAD, C9, and beyond.

Add to CompareBrand New Robbins R.1c, Chechen/Italian Spruce
Brand new! And already sold to boot. We simply can’t keep Tyler’s guitars in the shop for longer than it takes to shoot a demo and some photos. This Robbins R.1c is decked out with Chechen back and sides, Italian Spruce on top, and a unique aesthetic package with hexagonal motifs and an arm bevel. 15 7/8” across the lower bout makes this a Grand Auditorium in size, and with the addition of that arm bevel it remains an effortless player. Yes, this beauty is already gone. But the next Robbins will be coming soon! Give us a shout if you would like to be notified when it becomes available.

Add to CompareBrand New Rein Concert Classical, Cocobolo/Swiss Moonspruce
Thomas Rein is one of several of our builders who manages to thread the needle when it comes to building both steel string and nylon string instruments with equal skill. Accordingly, this brand new Concert Classical is fantastic: powerful, balanced, and elegant. Dark red Cocobolo body pairs with a Swiss Moonspruce top for lovely overtones and a chocolatey midrange, and Rein adds a slightly elevated fingerboard as well. 650mm scale on a Spanish Cedar neck feels velvet smooth to the touch—indeed, Tom used a sturdy Catalyzed Urethane finish for the body and neck that’s glass-smooth to the touch, while saving French Polish for the top to maximize resonance. The bridge and headstock veneer are both Brazilian Rosewood for an added touch of class.

Add to Compare2019 Kostal OMC, Amazon Rosewood/German Spruce
Here we’ve landed a Kostal OMC from 2019 which is begging for action. Amazon Rosewood body with chocolate-dark coloration like primo old-growth BRW; German Spruce on top with one of Jason’s famous stained glass rosettes. At the headstock we find his two-tone headplate design rendered with Ebony and Rosewood and outfitted with Gotoh 510 tuners, plus a scalloped nut. 14 frets to the body with a florentine cutaway and a 25” scale makes for an effortless playing experience that’s loose enough for some bends but still crisp and punchy. The trebles have a quick and lively quality that really sings out, especially in lowered tunings.

Add to Compare2019 Matsuda M1, Cocobolo/Italian Spruce
Michi Matsuda makes another dream come true with this 2019 M1. Cocobolo back and sides with rich ruddy reds, paired with Italian Spruce on top in a tasteful sunburst—then a splash of pearl inlaid at treble upper bout, add a voluptuously carved heel, and cap it all off with Larry Robinson maple leaf inlays along the fretboard. This M1 is dressed to the nines, and on the tone front it goes all the way to 11. The body is roughly an OM in proportion (15 5/8” across the lower bout), here with a 25 1/4” scale and 1 3/4” nut on a darkly toned Mahogany neck. Setup is effortless, and with a build weight of five pounds this Matsuda M1 feels solid and very real in hand.
