Maingard 2025 Pink Ivory OOO Model – An Artisan’s Masterpiece

Marc Maingard has been one of the top 10 single luthiers for nearly 30 of his 54 years of hand building his instruments , and arguably longer.

His most desired build size and shape is the OOO : this is because of its incredible versatility being both a phenomenal finger picked by guitar but also because / with Marc’s proprietary double braced sides and High Altitude Swiss Mountain Spruce top / the stiffness of the sides allow the incredible projection from the guitar allowing the player to ‘dig in’ with a plectrum too allowing great strumming and blues style playing too.

As Marc said in our blog together the journey of a luthier is comparable to a player - the more you learn the more you find you still need to learn… Well after 54 years of building and the steadiest hands on the business, Marc has been on a full half century of improvement of his already sought after guitars. In fact in the last 50 years Marc is the only luthier on the whole African continent to enter and remain in the top 10 global single luthiers and his guitars are incredibly difficult to source. In fact, unlike some other single luthiers, Marc only builds 2-3 guitars per year now and always on consignment: mainly using his impressive super old growth Brazilian Rosewood of which no new varietals currently exist apart from one on being commissioned for Art of Guitar.

To make this guitar even more special it is made of an extremely rare varietal of African Blackwood ( a favourite wood already of builders like George Lowden and other top luthiers - with prices close by in on the best of the old growth Brazilian Rosewood or The Tree) - this tonewood is a Pink Hue version found in only 1 in very 5-10,000 African Blackwood trees so it’s no wonder that it is a veritable 1/1 collectors piece with the most striking visual impact we’ve ever seen! It is extremely strong for its weight and with a High Altitude Swiss Spruce top the visuals and tone coming from this incredible guitar are simply phenomenal.

 

With only one more of Marc’s guitars arriving at AOG, his book closed, and one or two years left of building it’s fair to say there will never again be the opportunity to buy such an amazing guitar from such a world celebrated luthier.
