JC Baxendale Guitars - 000-18 - Shade Top

This Shade Top 000-18 is an inspiring guitar from the workshop of luthier JC Baxendale of Durango, CO. Take a look at "Our Thoughts" below for more context from Jim and the Mass Street team on how thrilled we are with bringing on Baxendale guitars.

Featuring the classic combination of an Adirondack spruce top over mahogany back and sides, this 14-Fret, short-scale  000 delivers a dry, articulate sound  that we know and love from our favorite vintage mahogany guitars. Subtle vintage appointments such as the Shade top, headstock with stamped logo, along with under the hood details like hide glue construction and a T-bar neck support, combine for a warm, fundamental tone that stands out 

Built by a sole builder, with a hands-on approach to every detail, utilizing traditional materials and construction techniques to deliver what counts - a dynamic, responsive guitar that is certainly turning heads around the shop. We couldn't be more excited about adding JC Baxendale to our lineup of boutique acoustic guitars.

Includes a hardshell case, or an upgrade to a Hoffee Case available.
