G.6 Auditorium
A medium-bodied auditorium acoustic voiced for a robust low end and low-midrange warmth without losing balance, hand-built by Michigan luthier Bryan Galloup.
About this guitar

Built the old-world way with premium tonewoods and hand-voicing techniques, with base specs adjustable to the player and tonewood grade affecting final price.
