Originally sold by us back in 2010, this Grand Concert from Michael Keller has come full circle, returning to the shop 15 years later. Crafted from a lush set of Brazilian Rosewood and paired with a Red Cedar top, this guitar has opened up beautifully with time and play. The voice is wide open, articulate, and rich with overtones—everything we love about Cedar and Brazilian in concert together.
It comes equipped with a McIntyre Feather pickup system and travels in an Ameritage hardshell case. This Keller is ready for its next chapter with a new player.
From the late, great Al Petteway, who reviewed the guitar when we first listed it in 2010.
“Beautifully balanced and beautiful to look at as well, this guitar is a winner. The combination of a Cedar top with the Brazilian Rosewood back and sides gives this guitar a rich, clear tone that will appeal to most fingerstyle players.” https://youtu.be/DF2RdjN-hBk
Still sublime. Michael Keller’s guitars have only grown more revered in the years since I first played this one back in 2010. His voice is complete and effortlessly balanced—truly one of those builders who gets it all right. Michael’s been at it for decades now, and remains one of the finest in the craft. Not many people know this, but he was the one who first introduced James Olson to Cedar tops. That alone says something. Michael’s a true gem in the lutherie world, and if you don’t already have a Keller in your collection, here’s your chance to change that. 
The voice strikes a great balance between warmth towards the lower mids and bass, and a crisp sparkle with the treble strings. In some ways that combination almost reminds me of a great Lowden, but here with Michael Keller's trademark slender neck feel. Eye-catching Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with Cedar on top and a mosaic flower rosette complete the picture. 1 in stock
