Gary Zimnicki has hand crafted well over 200 instruments and that is something to be very proud of. Very few luthiers ever reach that mark. But it’s clear that Gary loves his craft and that he knows how to build for tone and beauty in equal parts. This cutaway 14 fret Steel String features gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood with striking grain and deep color. It’s paired with Engelmann spruce for a pure tone that is strong and clear with good fundamentals and a hint of sparkle and overtones to make it complete. The nut is slightly wider making it ideal for fingerstyle and the 25 1/4″ scale makes the tension a joy.

Here we have a elegantly simple Macassar Ebony guitar from master luthier Gary Zimnicki who has hand crafted well over 200 instruments. This 14 fret, non-cutaway is topped with Adirondack Spruce and trimmed with handsome Bloodwood Bindings on the entire guitar. It is finished off with a custom Bloodwood Rosette. The Ebony has gorgeous figure and adds real clarity and power to the voice. This guitar is excellent for styles that benefit from headroom such as blues but also has real finesse for Celtic, Tradititional and modern styles. In short, this is a great all-arounder and a real looker…
