Add to Compare2011 Greg Byers, Indian Rosewood/European Spruce
Greg Byers’ Classicals are defined by a taste of innovation that’s based in tradition. With this bent top model from 2011, that’s fully on display. Byers combines a European Spruce top that’s ‘bent’ towards the heel with an elevated fingerboard to preload the top with tension and provide easier lefthand access to the uppermost frets. The result is handsome, distinct, and oh so easy on the hands. Sides are made up of straight-grain Indian Rosewood, with a 12-hole tieblock on top, 650mm scale, and a fantastically transparent French Polish finish throughout. The voice is characterized by a dark, emotive definition that really sings in the bass and mids, with a focused top end to tie it all together. We love the colors Byers employs in the rosette, paired up with wheat purflings, for a subtly dramatic effect that’s echoed with the marquetry at the center of the headplate.

Glenn Canin is one of the most esteemed contemporary Flamenco and Classical luthiers in the USA. His guitars are played by the top Flamenco guitarists in America and abroad, including Jason McGuire and Chusclales to name a few. Here we have a Flamenco Negra guitar crafted out of stunning Brazilian Rosewood and straight-grained Spruce with Snakewood appointments.
Typical to the the Flamenco style, this guitar has a quick attack and decay. The voice is even across the board, making those upper register solos sound as rich and present as your first position rhythms. The projection and volume is huge! A great first impression for us. If you’re a Flamenco player (and we’re quite certain you must be, to be looking at this guitar), then you know just how ironclad is Glenn Canin’s reputation–and this Flamenco Negra proves it with resounding basses and lightning strike trebles. More, if you’re also inclined toward Classical this guitar performs beautifully, making it a best of both worlds kind of instrument.

Add to Compare2002 Carruth 000-12 Brazilian/Adirondack (Red)
We’re proud to offer another 000 from Newport, New Hampshire luthier Alan Carruth, this time showcasing a beautiful set of Brazilian Rosewood for the three piece back and a tight-grained Adirondack Spruce top. With the combination of the former’s richness, the latter’s projection, and this instrument’s 12-fret neck, Carruth managed to coax out a voice that is at once intimate and vocal, perfect for fingerstyle. Adorned with Alan’s exquisite Celtic Knot inlays across the fretboard and rosette (and of course his trademark owl on the headstock), this 000-12 Fret is an excellent choice for fingerstylists of any persuasion, and perhaps a Celtic player will feel most at home with these vibrant and tasteful appointments.
The bass notes ring with a surprising clarity and are complemented by equally present trebles, and in the past 14 years this Carruth has opened up into a sweet and balanced creature. Ready for the stage as well as the studio, this Carruth comes with a K&K Pure Mini transducer pickup and a Calton flight case.

Here’s a 000-14 model in stunning Myrtlewood and Engelmann Spruce from luthier and acoustician, Alan Carruth. Alan is an expert in the physics of sound, or soundwave dynamics, and it shows with this small-bodied beauty.

The tone is very pleasant and balanced, with enough low mid punch to add some nice depth to the overall sound. The Myrtle Alan used here is outstanding, with intense figure that glows with an inner fire. And to top it off, he’s has included two beautiful Celtic inlays at the 5th and twelfth frets.
