Acoustics

  After many years of creating Custom Shop guitars, it was McPherson's goal to build a new guitar and achieve the ultimate blend of price and build-specifications, without sacrificing the tonal qualities for which McPherson is known.
  They knew this process would not be easy and they did not want to settle for mediocre. Matt McPherson and the builders that brought the McPherson Custom Shop to life are the same builders that have given life to the Standards. The level of care and attention to detail has elevated McPherson to be known for what it is today, and the Standard is the embodiment of perfection, which is why they have called it the McPherson Standard.

This amazing McPherson MG-4.0XP features gorgeous Zirocote back and sides paired with an Englemann Spruce top. The Ziricote has look and tone similar to Brazilian Rosewood with fuller bass response with more complex overtones than Indian Rosewood. This guitar has a big, punchy voice with amazing top end clarity and lots of low-end articulation. It features the XP oversized sound port, and figured Koa binding.

  Preston Thompson Dreadnought models are all crafted to produce the tone and volume that the dreadnought guitar was originally designed to achieve. These are powerful instruments that, when needed, stand up to the volume of a mandolin, fiddle and banjo. They have the bass response that provides an almost full orchestral backing to vocals. Their mid-range response and bright trebles take flatpicking and lead playing to a completely different level.
  These are traditional instruments, and all models are based on the famous 1937 Herringbone Dreadnought, owned by the late, great Charles Sawtelle of the award winning bluegrass band, Hot Rize. All feature Red spruce (Adirondack) tops chosen for tap tone and stiffness, advanced X brace placement, hand graduated top thickness, pre-war hand carved scalloped braces, nitro-cellulose lacquer finishes, and time tested design features such as dovetail neck joints.

Here's a beauty of a guitar - a Taylor Custom GA build-to-order acoustic electric with Englemann Spruce top and Quilted maple top. The condition is mint. No dings, nicks, scratches. The neck is straight and true. The frets are in perfect condition.

This upgraded 200 Series Grand Auditorium delivers the clarity and balance that makes our best-selling body shape a hit with guitarists from all genres and styles. The narrow-waisted, inviting frame sits comfortably in your lap while seated, while a slightly narrower nut width of 1-11/16” makes it easy to fret chords and notes, even for beginners. Tonally, layered rosewood back and sides pair beautifully with a solid Sitka spruce top for room-filling projection and a versatile sonic profile that performs beautifully across musical settings. This upgraded Plus model features black binding and a full-body gloss finish, along with a Venetian cutaway, 4mm Dot inlays, and ES2 electronics for plug-and-play amplified sound. It ships in a new Aerocase™ designed for lightweight, sturdy protection for your guitar wherever you take it.

With its layered Indian rosewood back and sides and solid Sitka spruce top, this 200 Series Dreadnought offers all the power and punch of its traditionalist body shape with the inimitable Taylor twist of clarity and balance. The larger body generates plenty of low-end warmth and projection, while the solid top brings articulation and a crisp high end that make it a good choice for all styles of music, whether you’re practicing at home or building your career as a musician. Upgraded appointments for this Plus model include black binding, a glossy finish, and Taylor nickel tuners. It ships with ES2 electronics and a Venetian cutaway in a new Aerocase™ designed to deliver lightweight damage protection when you transport your guitar.

Featuring a never-before-used tonewood and a host of player-focused design enhancements, the Builder’s Edition 324ce represents Taylor’s ongoing marriage of innovative acoustic design with forward-thinking strategy toward a more sustainable future. The star here is Urban Ash™, a tonewood sourced from city trees that have been selected for removal from urban settings due to due to weather or disease damage, public safety concerns, disruptive root systems, and simply reaching the end of their life cycle. Instead of allowing this beautiful, functional wood to end its life cycle in a landfill, we’ve reclaimed it for use in the backs and sides of this 324ce, offering a tonal response similar to high-tier mahogany: dry and woody, with a fundamental-strong response that produces clear notes largely free from ringing overtones. Paired with a mahogany top, this Grand Auditorium produces clear midrange presence and crisp highs over a rich low end that will satisfy strummers and fingerstyle players alike. V-Class bracing offers its trademark blend of power and resonance, emphasizing this guitar’s robust midrange while producing a more in-tune, musical sound. In keeping with the Builder’s Edition philosophy, this 324ce features an array of enhancements designed to provide the ultimate playing experience, including chamfered body and fretboard edges, a beveled armrest and cutaway, and a Curve Wing bridge. Other appointments include Compass inlays in faux pearl and Italian acrylic, Gotoh 510 tuners with a super-precise 21:1 gear ratio, a Silent Satin finish with a dark edgeburst treatment for an ultra-clean, noise-free sound, and ES2 electronics. It ships in a deluxe Taylor hardshell case.

This Just in from Larrivee, a beautiful, limited edition all Mahogany OM-40 MH. It features a Mahogany Top, Mahogany back and sides, Tulip Tip tuners, an all over a killer looking 2-Tone Tobacco Sunburst Satin finish and a pyramid bridge - the first time this bridge has been offered on a production Larrivee guitar in 5 years. Looks great and sounds as good as it looks
Based on Larrivee’s true "X-Brace" design, Jean blended a non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing pattern. This means maximum strength using the least amount of material. It's a build that allows even further vibration of the soundboard, while still offering a controlled bass response. The 40 Series are built in America.

Introducing the Sable guitar, the newest model in the line of custom Carbon Fiber guitars from McPherson. The Sable is the model larger than the Touring model, and packs the full punch off McPherson tone. Forget everything you thought you knew about Carbon Fiber or "plastic" instruments. These guitars sound amazing and are built like tanks. The fragility of a wood guitar is a distant memory. Based on the design of McPherson's custom shop Camrielle guitars, the Sable delivers the response and depth of their full-sized guitars with that unmistakable McPherson sound.

Here's a cool guitar. A really cool guitar. A true one of a kind. We are offering a 1981 Mossman Guitar Golden Era model custom made for Bob Shane by Stuart Mossman to commemorate 25 years of the The Kingston Trio. This guitar was a collaborative effort between Bob and Stuart Mossman. Bob personally selected the Brazilian rosewood and spruce top from Mossman's private stash, (Remember the word "stash"...you'll understand in a minute). Bob played this guitar for three years on the road before he retired it. Kingston Trio was the the preeminent folk band in the early sixties and spearheaded the massive, folk boom. These guys are the Beatles of folk music. This is a fantastic guitar and a great piece of American music history.
