Add to Compare2006 Manzer Baritone, Koa/Spruce
This 2006 Linda Manzer Baritone comes to us with Koa for the back and sides, along with Spruce on top. It’s serendipitous that we received this instrument not long after Pat Metheny released his second solo baritone record, “MoonDial,” using, of course, a guitar crafted by Linda Manzer. This guitar features the Manzer wedge, which has such a positive impact on the comfort of playing a baritone. Tuner buttons and bridge pins made of fossilized walrus ivory, crafted by the one and only John Mickelson. With an Abalone inlaid rosette, this is otherwise a rather understated guitar, letting the natural qualities of the wood do all the talking. It comes with a really cool custom-colored Calton case. If you’ve been wanting to add a baritone to your arsenal, look no further.

Add to Compare1997 Martin OM-42 Paul Simon, East Indian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce
This guitar has diamonds on the soles of its shoes, or at least its fingerboard. From 1997, we have a Martin OM-42 PS (Paul Simon), number 207 out of 500. East Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce, classic Martin appointments, and Paul Simon’s signature on the label and inlaid on the fingerboard extension. It could be the gravitas of Paul Simon’s association, but this OM-42 feels pretty dang special. An Indian Rosewood guitar that gives you a lot more than you’d expect: excellent response, clear, powerful, and quite frankly inspirational to play. Whether you’re a Paul Simon fan or simply a Martin OM fan, this guitar has a lot to offer.

Add to Compare2019 Taran DS5, Macassar Ebony/Master Grade Swiss Moon Spruce
2019 Taran DS5 in Macassar Ebony and Swiss Moonspruce. DS stands for “Dowling Signature,” and you can feel the care and intention put into this build. Five years old at the time of publication, you can sense the sonic maturation of the guitar, which likely sounded lively right from the start. With semi-hemispherical EVO frets, a deconstructed rosette, and a microbevel, this guitar is stunning. It feels great and sounds even better. From the fit to the finish, this guitar is a masterpiece. Listen to the demo and check out the photos for yourself! A true Dream Guitar here.

Add to Compare2024 Aboudib 00, East Indian Rosewood/Austrian Moonspruce
Our very first from Michel Aboudib, this 00 from 2024, serial number 26, is decked out in Austrian Spruce and East Indian Rosewood and has a lot going on. Michel’s signature style of rosette carving clearly reflects an original continuation of his time working with the one and only Ervin Somogyi. The satin neck feel, in contrast to the gloss body, is always a favorite combo for us here at the shop, and the feel of this neck, in particular, is quite comfortable. The detail in the bridge carving is incredibly stunning. So much work and detail are present in the appearance of this instrument—not to mention the sound. But we’ll let you hear and see that for yourself!

Bartolini humbucker plus volume and tone, all wrapped up in a Cedar Creek case.

Add to Compare2015 Fender Custom Shop 55 Stratocaster, Ash/Relic Faded Fiesta Red
We love the work of the Fender Custom Shop; they are undoubtedly producing some of the most excellent electric guitars on the market. Considering they are one of the few who wrote the book on what an electric guitar is, this 1955 relic’d reissue feels, looks, and sounds incredible. It features a full neck profile and handwound ’55-style single-coil pickups. This instrument has the quintessential Stratocaster vibes. It’s been relic’d, so you don’t have to baby the finish, and it already feels well-worn and played-in. This is a lot of electric guitar mojo for the price. Dressed in Faded Fiesta Red, this guitar would look and sound good in anyone’s guitar stable. Oh and by the way, it was signed by Stratocaster master John Cruz.
