Product information

This great-sounding guitar from Maine-based luthier, Matthew Arcara, has just arrived for consignment. It's the first Arcara we've seen with a cutaway; and the 12-fret 000 has long been our favorite platform for one. The guitar is loud, woody, bright, and open all at once, with terrific projection when flatpicked and a sweet articulation when played fingerstyle. Looking for the projection and balance of an OM, with better horsepower under a flatpick? Look no further.

We rate this guitar in very good overall condition. It was ordered with an optional thin finish, and does show several small scratches--the byproduct of regular use. There are no cracks or structural deficiencies. Our shop has thoroughly inspected the guitar and set it up anew. Priced with its original TKL hard case.
