Montgomery / Fan Fret / 2018 / Natural / Guitar
|
Continuing the strong Northern Irish tradition of high end acoustic guitar builders such as Lowden, Avalon and McIlroy, Montgomery is a relatively new name. But the build quality, feel and beautiful tone woods are just as impressive, and has unmistakable signs of high end quality. The guitar features a Sitka Spruce top with stunning Macassar Ebony back and sides. The Sycamore neck has an Ebony fingerboard, bound with beautiful Snakewood. The body features the same striking Snakewood binding, and rosette. The bridge and saddle are African Blackwood. The guitar is a concert size with 48mm nut and shallow profile, allowing good string spacing but not feeling too chunky. The whole idea of a fan fretted guitar is to give extra string length on the bass register, which gives a far tighter and richer response, and the shorter upper register strings allow for smoother and more bell like treble tone. Tonally the guitar works particularly well for fingerstyle, with great clarity and balance, and has a particular drive in the mid range when strummed. At only a year old, the guitar still has a new smell to it, and is in excellent condition. It comes in it's original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
