If you're looking for something new that's both beautiful, alive, a blast to play - and - made by a luthier with an eye towards sustainability? You need to check out the award-winning Mendocino.

The DCAF version adds an F-hole that bumps up the lower octave of the acoustic voice giving the low E and A strings more authority and taming the upper mids a little to produce the most uniform acoustic voice of the Mendocino Line."

The results are spectacular - the Mendocino DCAF is really lightweight, balanced, and very alive and resonant. Simply put, this is the kind of instrument that makes you want to play more. It's beautifully made, has a chunky, late-50's Gibson-esq carve with a slinky overall feel, and sounds amazing both unplugged and plugged in.
