The Grand Concert series is one of the
world's most perfect guitars!

The Grand Concert series, recently refined and beautifully proportioned, is everything you can imagine and more. A wonderful blend of clarity and balance with punch and a smooth, rich bass. This instrument is larger than the Parlor and smaller than the Concert Jumbo. It has a singing, lyrical treble with excellent sustain and is comfortable to hold. Though a small guitar, the Grand Concert does not exhibit the tight, nasal tonal quality in the midrange and bass associated with smaller guitars.

While the Grand Concert series is considered ideal for the fingerstylist due to its sensitive, dynamic responsiveness, it is equally appropriate for the flatpicker or plectrum player. It is used by Bluegrass flatpickers and has surpassed traditional dreadnought guitars with respect to power, clarity, sustain and projection.

  • Mahogany back and sides. Alaskan Sitka Spruce top. Rosewood or Curly Maple binding.
