Taking this 2018 457 for a spin, and you lose track of time right out of the gate. This big boy fills your lap and vibrates your chest at first strum, and quickly sets the room to vibrating with the force of its voice. This 457 is a fantastic example of the expansive, enveloping, sonorous Klein sound—with some top shelf upgrades to set it apart. Mouth-watering gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood back and sides (chocolate-dark and black ink lines) with Spruce on top and a multiscale setup oof 26 1/4” on the bass and 25 1/8” on the treble. Moreover, the neck, bridge, and fingerboard are all also Brazilian Rosewood—this neck is a special rarity, and adds smooth sustain to the midrange that really helps fills out the voice. The expansive 18” lower bout loves, loves, loves to tune down to altered tuning territory (Cadd9) is a particular sweet spot.

Add to Compare2015 Kraut 00, Birdseye Maple/Italian Spruce
Velvet to our ears. This 2015 Kraut 00 is stunning, a testament to modern lutherie and small bodied guitars with big bodied tone. Figured Birdseye Maple back and sides, Italian Spruce on top, and this one features Ray’s elevated fingerboard, which you’ll see actually goes through the top. In excellent condition, this Kraut has sweet, warm trebles that cut right through the mix, and pairs handsomely with a lively, balanced bass response. It’s an excellent fingerstyle instrument, hands down. Alessi tuners, Ebony bindings, and a Hoffee flight case round out the package. We love Ray’s geometric eye when it comes to his rosettes, and the headstock cap here is no exception, perfectly executed.

Add to Compare2010 Kraut OMC, Brazilian Rosewood/European Spruce
Here we have an incredibly sweet OMC from Ray Kraut. A former apprentice of Ervin Somogyi, which shows in this instrument. Decked out with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, and a European Spruce on top. This guitar has both classic and modern aesthetics balanced perfectly– which translates through the voice as well. Touting a deconstructed rosette that is subtle yet captivating. The look and sound of this instrument speaks for itself. Delicately balanced yet rich with haunting overtones and bloom that leave you wanting more and more. This fine guitar is a fingerstyle players paradise.

Add to Compare2018 Kraut OM, Pale Moon Ebony/European Spruce
This guitar! Where do we even begin? This 2018 OM from Ray Kraut is astounding to both the eyes and the ears. A beauty, features Ray’s “Pale Moon” Ebony for the back and sides, and a pale set of European Spruce for the top. Not content with that already deadly combination, Ray then fashioned the headstock veneers, fretboard, bridge, and heelcap out of more Pale Moon. An abstract rosette completes the luthier’s portrait. Tonally, this OM pours out notes with such presence and definition, it takes fingerstyle arrangements and renders them in crystalline clarity.
The trebles have a faint blooming effect after the initial attack, and the string-to-string balance is superb. We had a lot of fun playing around in open tunings—the playability is likewise slinky and smooth. Just an incredible instrument across the board, and it comes with a Hoffee flight case to keep it safe and sound.
So much wow factor here, you’ll need to take two breaths.

Add to Compare2010 Mark Lacey Premier Archtop, Maple/Spruce
From the late Mark Lacey, we have a 2010 Premier Archtop—and the model name truly suits the quality of this instrument. Built with the finest materials and craftsmanship, this guitar exemplifies high-end construction while maintaining a character all its own. It has it in spades—well-played and well-built, making it an incredible instrument for both stage and studio.
We love the Joe Barden humbucker in this guitar. That’s a rare combination for an archtop, and it really shouldn’t be—nothing on the sonic spectrum is out of reach with this one.
Listen for yourself.

Add to Compare2020 LHT Rose Burl Fugue, Flame Maple/Sitka Spruce
It’s not easy to make a new name for yourself in the archtop, electric world, but we think Tyler Wells of LHT Guitars has what it takes. This 2020 Rose Burl Fugue is nothing short of a work of functional art. Curvaceous yet comfortable, stands apart from the crowd yet at the same time approachable and familiar. This guitar feels effortless in hand, from the multiscale setup (24.7-25.7”) to the lightweight build and cutaway ergonomics. The neck and body are perfectly balanced to play off your leg when seated, and Tyler’s handsomely executed single bass offset soundhole broadcasts cleanly straight into the player’s ear. Acoustically, the Fugue has impressive presence and range, and would record very well on that level alone. When amplified with a Parallelogram Kent Armstrong humbucker (volume and tone under the Burl pickguard), the tone rolls out fat and round with fingers, and responds beautifully with added crispness and punch under a flatpick attack.
The body is Flame Maple, here paired with a carved Sitka Spruce top and a 4-piece Flame Maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement. Black ABS bindings, and Bodega Bay driftwood burl appointments throughout give this Fugue its “Burl” designation (with a gorgeous, gorgeous red Nitro burst for the “Rose”).
The LHT Fugue is what successful modern lutherie looks like: pushing the envelope without forgetting its roots, exploring contemporary aesthetics with an eye for ease of play and an ear for dynamics.Other keywords: kent parker, arched top, jazz guitar, fan fret, fanned fret, 3007, ska, flamed maple, duane simpson

Add to Compare2002 Jeremy Locke Arched Back Classical Guitar, Tasmanian Blackwood/Spruce
From 2002, the “Arched Back Classical” from Jeremy Locke has Tasmanian Blackwood—which isn’t a common tonewood for the back and sides of a classical guitar, but based on what we have here, it probably should be more common. It comes with Gilbert tuners and a Gilbert-styled bridge. As the name suggests, this guitar has a carved “arched” back, giving it the classic Australian guitar tone. With Spanish Cedar for the neck, this is a whole lot of guitar for your money.

Add to Compare2021 Macdonald “Steal This Book,” Honduran Mahogany/Figured Walnut
A first for us from the bench of James Macdonald, this guitar named “Steal This Book” is one of three in a series crafted by Macdonald, dedicated to counterculture literature. *Steal This Book* by Abbie Hoffman was an exemplification of the 1960s counterculture and quickly sold more than a quarter million copies. The number of books stolen is unknown. This book was quite influential for James Macdonald. In his own words:
“I first came across Abbie Hoffman’s offering in the paperback rack of my local library when I was a seventh grader in the early seventies. I flipped through the pages and saw some sort of instructions on how to make a Molotov Cocktail. As one who spent a lot of time as a kid setting off firecrackers, this looked like fun. I remember giving the library a quick once over and feeling the urge to do as Abbie said—steal the book! My better angels won out that day, and I left it behind. My marquetry tells a different story—*Steal This Book* in the act of being stolen. What a radical name for a book!”
This instrument features astounding marquetry work; the attention to detail here is quite staggering. The headstock veneer references yet another book, the anti-war classic *Johnny Got His Gun* by Dalton Trumbo. The body is Honduran mahogany, with a figured walnut top and a variety of woods making up the marquetry: maple, holly, satinwood, smoked eucalyptus, butternut, and Sitka spruce. Aesthetics aside, this guitar actually sounds incredible, offering classic Les Paul tones. The Sheptone Red Headed Stepchild humbuckers can sing soothingly or scream raucously.

Add to CompareBrand New Maingard 000, Brazilian Rosewood/Spruce
Brand new from Marc Maingard, we’re excited to offer this stunning 000 model crafted from Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce. True to Maingard’s signature style, it features an arm bevel, sound port, and a delightfully comfortable neck profile. Despite being fresh out of the workshop, it doesn’t have that typical ‘new guitar’ sound—it already feels well matured.
With Schertler tuners adding a modern touch, the headplate and rosette feature matching Brazilian Rosewood veneer, tying the design together beautifully. This guitar is an excellent example of modern aesthetics and voicing, all while letting the natural materials shine both sonically and visually. It comes safely wrapped in a Hiscox case. Don’t miss your chance to own this masterpiece!
