ng g Boards A double dose of walnut and Macassar, plus an all-mahogany roots revival, make for a rousing spring serenade. Spring’s arrival provides the perfect excuse to delve into our wood reserves in search of fresh inspiration. This year, walnut, Macassar ebony and mahogany beckoned. With walnut, we tapped two different grades, allowing us to offer a value-packed 400 Series and a premium class featuring highly figured sets. In the case of Macassar, crafting Build to Order models with it inspired a pair of our own “chef’s specials.” One is a lively Macassar/cedar 12-Fret; the other is an eyecatching T3/B with a Macassar top. Rounding out the spring collection is our first batch of all-mahogany acoustics in more than five years. Look for the Spring Limiteds in stores starting in May.

Macassar Ebony 12-Fret Woods: Macassar Ebony / Cedar Models: 12-Fret-GC-LTD, 12-Fret-GA-LTD Unique Features: 12-fret, slothead, Macassar backstrap, figured koa binding and back strip, edge burst top, bone nut/saddle, inlay-free fretboard Macassar ebony’s density produces strong, clear highs and lows, while a cedar top adds sparkling midrange overtones. Make it a 12-Fret and you’ve got yourself a guitar with mucho mojo. The lower bridge location of the 12-fret neck, together with the cedar top, yields extra warmth and woodiness. Responsive to a light touch, these beauties are ideal for a serious fingerstyle player looking for a darker, richer tone. Strummers will be inspired by the depth and sustain. And they’re no less visually inspiring, with Macassar’s beautiful variegation, koa binding, a slotted headstock, and an edge burst top. Macassar Ebony T3/B-LTD Woods: Sapele / Macassar Ebony Unique Features: Figured koa binding, maple/rosewood purfling, edge burst, inlay-free fretboard, Vintage Alnico humbuckers with bezel mounts Macassar’s dark, exotic beauty creates a striking façade on our T3/B LTDs. Striped amber and espresso hues are highlighted by richly figured koa binding that also traces the f-holes, fretboard and headstock, while chrome hardware adds a cool contrast to its dramatic backdrop. If you need extra inspiration while playing this guitar, just look down.
