Gallagher Custom Auditorium, Birdseye Maple & Cedar

A truly unique guitar from our friends at Gallagher Guitars in Murfreesboro, TN, this Custom Auditorium features an extraordinary combination of tonewoods. We more often see cedar soundboards with rosewood back and sides, a pairing that provides tons of nuance and dark, lush sustain. But when combined with maple (and some wildly figured birdseye maple, we might add!), an unusual voice is achieved. A tight, clean bass underpins intricate arrangements, while a pronounced and articulate midrange and crisp, ringing treble sing out above. The Auditorium shape blends OM dimensions with the tighter shoulders of a 00, providing "tremendous focus" and balance. Additional texture and complementary colors are added with wenge bridge and binding, snakewood tuner buttons, and even more birdseye maple flair on the headstock veneer. A gorgeous guitar in its own right, this special Custom Auditorium would make an excellent foil to your familiar spruce and rosewood guitar.
