2006 Blanchard Guitars Tamarack - Grand Concert, GC Acoustic Guitar

We are big fans of Mark Blanchard's guitars. Here we have a stunning wedge body fashioned from a serious set of highly flamed Koa with very tight curl and topped with European Spruce. The Manzer Wedge design makes the body thinner up at your chest so it's easier to hold with less fatigue, great for anyone with shoulder issues. The voice of this guitar is bright and crisp as you would expect from Koa, but also lush and refined with Mark's trademark magical ability to brace for tone. This one is great for fingerstyle but also has the power for rhythm and chordal work.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"Koa like this is getting very rare and makes this a special Blanchard. The Euro top has abundant medullary rays (a.k.a. silking) that you hear in the way of energy and lovely overtones. Complete with a cutaway and pickup this one has it all. " - Paul Heumiller

"I rank Mark Blanchard in the very elite group of luthiers that has figured "it" out. His guitars are consistently balanced with great feeling necks and great projection. This one has some beautiful Koa on the back and sides and it's all ready to go as a gigging guitar with the B-Band installed, including hidden soundhole volume and tone controls." - Al Petteway
