Models Offered
Dreadnaught – Our take on the classic and world-famous Martin design. An excellent instrument for accompaniment, for singing, and ensembles, with strong lows and highs and softer mid-range tones.
Concert – This guitar is particularly suited to “finger-style” players with warm, even and balanced tone throughout the guitar’s range.
Jumbo – A “super-jumbo” body style in the Gibson tradition. Also an excellent player/strummer’s guitar with great tone, balance and projection.
Parlor – Similar to a Concert model, but slightly narrower at the waist, and thinner (not as deep). A guitar you can “really get your arms around”. Great for finger-picking or strumming. Meant specifically for small venues or intimate gatherings – or just entertaing yourself. A great guitar for smaller stature people or children.
