Hello Six String Journal Readers,
I’m in the cue to receive some new guitars soon. And my favored builder, Glenn Canin, is making me a guitar with a slightly smaller neck. So I’m offering these guitars for any of you who are interested. Please contact me directly via email if you are interested in details, more pics, and pricing. leo (at) leonardogarcia (dot) org.
Glenn Canin 2018 (#131) – Beautiful cedar/cedar balsa doubletop with elevated fingerboard, custom Rodgers Tuners, and a soundport. All that you would expect from a guitar built by Glenn – powerful concert guitar, wonderful volume, beautiful rich chocolatey sound, well-balanced, strong and resonant trebles, lush basses, super high E string, every note sounds full, quick to react, and fun to play. The woods are absolutely top notch. If I recall, this top was one he acquired from Robert Ruck and the backs and sides are the best Indian rosewood. He built it for me in 2018.
650mm scale and 52mm nut
Excellent condition. It has a few small marks that are barely noticeable from usual play. Here is a video of it:
Glenn Canin 2011 (#55) – spruce/spruce nomex doubletop with elevated fingerboard, Sloane tuners, soundport. This is the first doubletop Glenn ever built and set him in motion to become one of the sought after doubletop builders in the US. Thick notes, sweet and warm sound but with excellent voice clarity like you would expect from a great spruce guitar, excellent penetrating volume, super easy to play (the back of the neck was oiled instead of polished), and great projection. The top has wonderful bearclaw from the collective where Stadivarius would get his spruce (the video lighting does not show this but I have pics).
650mm scale and 52mm nut
Good condition. Some playing wear on the top with a few small dings, faded polish on the top side and upper back. Here is a video.
