Sleepers

It's time to fess up...we have some 'sleepers' in the shop that we've been holding out on. 

From the top LEFT row:

Taylor 322E acoustic electric. Deep, rich, full sound more like guitars

larger and deeper than this guitar's size. It handles strumming

and fingerpicking better than most 'OM' sized guitars. 

All solid Blackwood back and sides, solid Mahogany top.

Yamaha 820S with WMC installed K&K pickup. 

We've still got four of these kicking around from a

mistaken 'over stock' last year. One day we went through 

all five and picked this one as the best in volume, tone and

overall balance, so we used it as a K&K pickup demo guitar.

Solid Spruce top, laminate Mahogany back and sides

*SOLD*

Art & Lutherie 'Roadhouse Tennessee' is not just another 

parlor guitar with nice looks, it's got a Canadian made pedigree

and the projection to back it up. Many people are surprised by

this guitar when they first pluck it. Not just a blues/folk machine.

Solid Spruce top, laminated Canadian 'Wild Cherry' back and sides.

Yamaha 820S might be easily overlooked if not for it's striking

black looks and sweet mahogany (laminate) balanced tone,

solid Spruce top. Something about this Yamaha's Martinesque feel 

keeps us coming back to it, especially our 

Yamaha fan guitar tech!

Taylor 114E came in first but it was a tight race between 

this guitar and its cutaway sibling right next to it. Walnut

'layered' (laminate) back and sides with a solid Spruce top 

makes for a guitar that speaks with almost the same presence 

as a rosewood guitar with less  muddiness coupled with 

a touch of mahogany's presence-

hard to sum up in words. 

*SOLD*

It's best to let these guitars

speak for themselves.
