This one practically moves on its own. So much energy under the hood! We simply love how alive and vibrant Marc Maingard’s 000s are, and this one’s one of the most electric we’ve seen. Opening up since 2007, it’s fantastically awake and raring to go. Dramatically figured Brazilian Rosewood back and sides match up with a lovely, creamy European Spruce top, 12 fret neck join, and arm & rib bevels for creature comfort. Aesthetically, Marc’s distinctive headplate design is set off with custom tuners and the rosette pops in turquoise (echoed with similar purflings along the top, back, and heelcap).
The voice is quick, immediate, vigorous. The registers mix up nicely, with a crisp bottom end that feels like it’s leaping out of the soundhole. Playability is gossamer to boot, and the 12-fret neck makes the 25.4” scale feel extra easy in hand.
This Maingard is a powerhouse’s powerhouse, the guitar that a guitar would play if a guitar could play.
