Arcara's guitars are well-suited to the modern player in search of refined, traditional tone.

Why We Love This

This excellent sounding dreadnought from Maine-based luthier, Matthew Arcara, is one of the loudest guitars to come through the shop in recent memory. It's a classic style-28 bluegrass monster, with Brazilian Rosewood back & sides, Red Spruce top, and a very non-traditional sound port (this element certainly makes the guitar seem louder and more responsive to the player). Arcara's guitars are well-suited to the modern player in search of refined, traditional tone: they're equal parts punchy and woody. This particular guitar was custom ordered directly from the builder, and features a modified V neck profile based on a mid-40's Martin. It's in very good overall condition, though it's been played and its thin finish does exhibit minor signs of playwear. On consignment, and priced with a hardshell case.
