2019 Bourgeois DB Jumbo! Come and get it before it’s gone, baby gone. Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce up top, plus Sinker Mahogany back and sides to add dryness and woody flavor to the voice, plus great projection from Bourgeois’s 16” jumbo body. It weighs in at about 4.5lbs and is easy on the hands. It’s nearly new from 2019, but thanks to the torrefied Adi top it’s already wide awake and singing. Plus this beauty comes with a K&K Pure Mini plus volume knob for easy transition straight to the stage.

Huss & Dalton’s MJ is a 16 inch jumbo that likes to speak its mind, and it’s got a lot to say with its Malaysian Blackwood back and sides and Torrefied Adirondack Spruce top. Not to mention the K&K Mini pickup for those amplified moments! This lovely MJ comes to us from 2018 and is in solid playing shape, already wide awake thanks to the torrefied Adi top. Bound with Figured Maple and appointed with half herringbone trim, this H&D MJ looks fantastic, and is a delight to play.

Add to Compare1998 Boaz/Majkowski Kasha-Schneider, Brazilian Rosewood/Redwood
In 1998, Boaz and Majkowski embarked on a project to build several Kasha-Schneider Classicals to honor the passing of Majkowski’s teacher, Richard Schneider. The result is something truly unlike anything else out there. The body is constructed with Redwood top—and back—with Brazilian Rosewood sides; the bridge and top thicknesses are engineered to maximize bass response from the left and treble on the right; and the Redwood back is designed to operate as an active speaker diaphragm. Offsetting the soundhole to the sonically dead treble upper bout area frees up the rest of the top to be more optimally braced, and the neck is fretted with Brass to add mass and rigidity, thus minimizing the amount vibrational energy lost in the neck. Gilbert tuners and an Ameritage case round out the package of a one-of-a-kind Classical.

Add to Compare2010 Lowden F-35, Flamed Mahogany/Redwood
Lowden’s F-35 is a jack of all trades that manages to be a master of all trades, too. The body design gives ample power and projection for fingerstyle play, and certainly can handle flatpicking and strumming as well. The Redwood top, here paired with Flamed Mahogany back and sides, gives the voice a unique mixture of warmth and dryness (think lush bass and crisp trebles). This beau is from 2010 and looking like a well-cared for champ—which it is. The previous owner had a K&K Pure Mini pickup installed, so this one’s ready for amplification as well.

Add to CompareBrand New Pogreba Resonator, Aluminum
This is the definition of fun. Montana’s Larry Pogreba only builds part of the year, and he only builds things that are out of the ordinary. This flaming hot red reso is brand new, boasts a ’55 Olds hubcap resonator cover (a Pogreba staple), and screams with Teisco pickup when amplified. Slick playability with a fingerpicking setup, Belize Mahogany neck (and Belize Rosewood fretboard with some dramatic figure); and an über cool mokume gane tailpiece made up of 40 layers of Brass, Bronze, and Copper. There’s enough going on here to keep you coming back for more for years to come. Larry only builds a few a year, so snag it while you can!

Add to CompareBrand New Matsuda Double Neck Deconstruction
We commissioned this build on behalf of one of our clients (give us a shout if you’d like a bespoke Matsuda of your own), who loved Michi’s Deconstruction aesthetics but wanted to take it in a new direction. Enter: the Double Neck Deconstruction. Two necks designed with two playing styles in mind, the bottom set up for plucking and strumming, the top for tapping. Additionally, the bottom neck features a custom cittern-style bridge, whereas the top neck is outfitted with a hinged string damper at the nut. The assembled body of the instrument is decoupled from the acoustic top to allow it to vibrate freely, and an array of pickups across the arrangement allow for a wide range of setups heading out to the amp.

Add to CompareBrand New Halland 000-H, Ebony/Swiss Moonspruce
Our latest build with Gage Halland has finally landed—and we don’t want it to leave. Gage’s 000-H body has fantastic power, clarity, and dynamic range without being a big guitar, and his fit and finish is flawless throughout with a gorgeous aesthetic. We spec’d this out with Reserve Ebony back and sides with a Swiss Moonspruce top, arm bevel and palm bevel in lieu of a cutaway, and Gage’s glass-smooth setup. It essentially plays itself. The voice mixes up great across the registers, with crisp note separation and a wide dynamic range. If there’s a bad note in this fretboard, we haven’t heard it yet.

Kevin’s Mission Grand is well known by fingerstyle players the world over. It is the design that really put Ryan guitars on the map.

It’s got a few marks to prove it, and has been perfectly maintained and plays like a dream. Complete with McIntyre Feather pickup and Calton, ready for the stage!

Add to CompareBrand New Big Hollow OM, Koa/Lutz Spruce
Gather round! Our latest Brand New OM from Bevan Frost of Big Hollow Guitars has arrived. Tight flamed Koa back and sides—take a moment to appreciate that lovely figuring—pair up with Lutz Spruce on top in a gorgeous sunburst. Oil Varnish finish throughout for maximum resonance, which this Big Hollow has in spades, and Alessi tuners at the slotted headstock for an added touch of elegance. The voice is smooth and balanced, an excellent player for fingerstyle, but with enough power under the hood to hold up under a flatpick as well, thanks to the versatile nature of Lutz Spruce. Bevan’s fit and finish are fantastic; the pyramid bridge is well executed, and we love the use of Bloodwood bindings to make the sunburst and Koa pop. A bird’s beak headstock joint on Mahogany neck is the cherry on top.

Add to CompareBrand New Klein 457, Brazilian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
Brand new and already raring to go. This Klein & Kauffman 457 is such a powerhouse, and it’s decked out with some premium woods to boot. Mouthwatering Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pair up with Engelmann Spruce on top, a Guatemalan Rosewood neck for added sustain, Holly bindings throughout, and an upper bout soundport for a little more me in the monitors. What’s not to love? The voice is voluminous and thunderous, but maintains a crisp balance across the registers and along the fretboard that really speaks to the finest of modern lutherie. No one builds quite like Steve Klein and Steve Kauffman, and nothing sounds quite like this 457.

Add to Compare2005 Wingert EVC Dream Series, Brazilian Rosewood/Italian Spruce
Kathy Wingert was the first builder we invited to make a limited edition Dream Series guitar for us. This series was inspired by ten sets of incredible Black Brazilian Rosewood that she acquired. To get the most from this special and rare Brazilian Rosewood, Kathy selected her favorite top wood, Italian Spruce, this one with some lovely bearclaw. Italian Spruce is known for it’s clarity, power and sustain. Exclusive to the Dream Series is a one-of-a-kind Geometric Rosette designed by Jimmi Wingert. This rosette, along with a full top and back border of premium Abalone, really makes the Wingert Dream Series shine. Kathy Wingert’s tone is one of our very favorites for fingerstyle players and this one, #4 of 10, is special indeed. Fat, juicy treble strings that give melodies heart and soul and big, warm bass that will make you wonder how she does it. Her passion that makes the difference.

Add to Compare1996 Dudenbostel 000-45, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
An earlier build from Lynn Dudenbostel that’s had a few decades to open up—and open up, it has. This 000-45 (long scale) was built in 1996 with Brazilian Rosewood body and Adirondack Spruce on top, plus a well executed Abalone 45-style appointment package and 1 13/16” nut spacing. It’s a very comfortable fingerstyle guitar, and with the longscale setup it handles flatpickiing well to boot. It’s been well cared for and looks great for its age, and is more than ready for action. Plus this beauty comes wrapped up in a Calton flight case for maximum safety on those rare moments you won’t be playing it.

Add to Compare2003 Wingert Model E “California Sun,” Cocobolo Rosewood/European Spruce
The world needs more guitars like this Model E from Kathy Wingert. The 2003 “California Sun” is a heartthrob with just about anything you throw its way—fingerstyle, strumming, standard pitch or wacky tunings—and it looks great while it’s doing it. Cocobolo back and sides pair up with European Spruce on top with its amber sunburst, 14 fret neck, and Abalone appointments to round it out. The voice is very, very energetic and responsive. It has dynamic range, power, and a lot of gears, equally at home for both soft playing and aggressive pieces. Great balance across the registers, paired with crisp note definition, makes for a pianistic player that really soaks up the fingerstyle goodness. We wish this one wasn’t for sale, but could stay at the shop forever. So please, take it off our hands before we pull the trigger instead.

Add to Compare2016 Circa 000-28, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
John Slobod does it again. We’ve landed a smooth talker from 2016 that’s wide awake and crooning. This Circa 000-28 is upgraded with the crème de la crème of all tonewoods, gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood, and topped with Adirondack Spruce (sweetly opened up in the past five years for power and push). 12 fret neck (with slotted headstock) adds warmth and roundness to the trebles to match the responsive and present bottom end, plus the setup on this Circa is smooth to the touch and easy as breathing. Ivoroid bindings and tight herringbone trim, combined with a pyramid bridge, make the classic American guitar aesthetic proud.

Add to Compare2006 McAlister OM-45 Vintage Series, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Powerhouse with Pearl to spare! Here’s a gorgeous example of Roy McAlister’s Vintage Series OM models, decked out with a gorgeous 45-style appointment package, that’s opened up handsomely since 2006. Premium Brazilian Rosewood like the set Roy used here for the back and sides is a wonder to behold: straight grain with just enough figure to make it pop, reminiscent of prewar Martin stock, and extra stable. Adirondack Spruce on top, which has opened up nicely in the past 15 years, rounds out the basis for a classic, vintage sound. The voice is smooth and well balanced across the registers; lively string energy in the bottom end helps carry tone out and away from the body with great projection.
