Add to Compare2012 Galloup Borealis, Indian/Sitka
Recipe for a great guitar: 1) choose classic tonewoods, 2) dial in the setup for slick playability, and 3) get Bryan Galloup to build it. Our 2012 Borealis is a beast with appointments that stand out from the crowd, and projection to level doors. Indian Rosewood back and sides, Sitka Spruce top, Laskin-style arm bevel, cutaway, and the piéce de resistance: wine glass inlays across the fretboard extension. We’d like to think it’s a Malbec to match the lively and spicy tone.
As we mentioned, the setup has that slick quality to it that guarantees effortless playability, in standard tuning and beyond. 25 1/2 inch scale gives a smidgeon extra bite to the bass, and the 1 3/4 inch nut feels right at home.
When a guitar plays this well, and sings this sweetly, it’s difficult to put it down. Be prepared to annoy friends and family when you start making excuses to slip away and pick up this Galloup Borealis again. Just one more tune, honest!

Add to Compare1973 Gemza Concert Indian/Spruce
Displaced from Hungary by World War II, Bela Gemza came to the U.S. in the late 1940s and strived to make great, original guitars and lutes from the finest materials in the basement of his modest home. Time has shown that he succeeded.
This wonderful Gemza guitar dates from what many believe was Bela’s “Golden period” of craftsmanship in 1973. It is an especially beautiful instrument thanks to the Indian Rosewood back and sides and Spruce top ornamented with beautiful Maple binding. The playability and tone of this instrument is exquisite. Gemza guitars project beautifully and this one offers a complete tone which has gained authority over time, like a fine aged red wine.

Add to CompareNew Greg German Agave Ziricote/Adirondack (Red)
Caramel-sweet and firecracker hot, this brand-new 2015 German Agave has got a voice to strike other guitars dumb. Greg German‘s too kind: he’s given us an enormous amount of tone, and some sweet appointments, for a great deal. Complete with a soundport, gold Gotoh 510s, interlocking fretboard inlays and rosette, Venetian Cutaway, the Agave has more options than you can shake a pick at. That said, wait until you actually have the instrument in your hands–the setup is glass-smooth, and the voice is charged and energetic. Trebles which are bright and talkative, a middle register with lots of power that speaks for itself, and a tight, controlled low-end give the Agave a punchy flavor more commonly found in smaller-bodied guitars–but with all the volume and sustain traditionally found in Grand Concerts or Dreadnoughts.

Add to CompareNew Greg German Agave Bolivian/Bearclaw Sitka
Greg German is making exquisite guitars. This Agave model is proof. The level of detail and beauty is off the charts, yet they remain sublime. The purflings and inlays are all elegant and truly add to the aesthetic of the instrument. But it’s the tonal character we love, clarity and beauty are in every note on the fingerboard. The Bolivian Rosewood(aka Pau Ferro) and Figured Sitka top blend perfectly to produce pure music. The playability is superb and accurate. This is a player’s instrument that is also a gentleman’s guitar.

Add to CompareNew German Belladonna Bolivian Rswd/Sitka
Greg German has a background as a highly skilled Illustrator, Animator and luthier with Edward Victor Dick. This experience allows him to create and execute details that most Luthiers wouldn’t dare to attempt. This Belladonna, multiscale, steel string is breathtaking in subtle ways. There are extensive inlays on the headstock, fingerboard, soundport and rosette, but all are fine and wooden for an elegant effect. The wild Bolivian Rosewood back and Silky Sitka top give this asymmetrical multiscale a bright, clear tone with just a hint of dark under current. The combination of 25.4 scale on the bass string and the short 24.75 top string offer great intonation, easy and even tension and enhance this guitars ability to handle any tuning you want to use from Standard to low C. What a treat to have this guitar to begin our relationship with Greg German.
