2007 Gary Garcia Cutaway Dreadnought Guitar

The builder of this guitar, unfortunately, passed away too young. He was getting a name for building electrics but did make a number of acoustics as well. This warhorse is one of them -- and it's one of the most dreadnought-sounding dreadnoughts I've played in a while. It's got a D-28-like voice but modern handling and mids that stand-out more than on your typical Martin. It's balanced and that's a bit of a hard thing to pull off on a dreadnought.

First-rate materials are used throughout -- it has scads of pearl trim, flamed maple binding, pretty cocobolo on the back and sides, and a silky-looking spruce top -- all solid, of course. It has an ebony fretboard and rosewood bridge and bone nut and saddle.

It arrived here for consignment basically playing on the dot, but I tweaked the setup just a hair before putting it out on the racks. It's ready to roll.

Repairs included: a fret level/dress and setup.
