Marchione — Semi-Hollow

Handcrafted in Houston, Marchione guitars are inspired by the old-world craftsmanship of his Italian heritage and built using aged tone woods, all hide-glue construction, hand-planed joints, and premium bone or estate ivory fittings. Applying modern guitar-building technique acquired as an apprentice to legendary luthiers, like John Suhr, Marchione offer guitarists boutique instruments—like this Marchione Semi-Hollow—that look, feel, and play unlike any other guitars on the boutique market!

Tim Bram Guitars — Thinline Tribute

As with every instrument from Tim Bram Guitars, this Tim Bram Thinline Tribute Gold Top guitar was handmade in the luthier’s Maryland woodshop and features a completely hand-carved, graduated European spruce top and figured cherry back and sides, paired together to create a tight low end, with bright highs—plus, the Pete Biltof Charlie Christian Style Pickup offers a full range with a vibrant high end. 

Batson Custom — USA Torrefied Red Spruce/Curly Claro Walnut Natural

Designed by Corey Batson, himself, Batson’s artisanal, hand-crafted instruments featuring unique bracing patterns, patented tailpiece bridge systems, cantilevered necks, tops without soundholes, and unusually large side sound portals combined to allow his tops to vibrate more freely, creating a sonically superlative voice.
