Any experience with a J.C. Baxendale?
I have a J.C. Baxendale 00 12 fret that is an outstanding instrument (I'm not the original owner, got it on a trade). Anyone else on here own, have owned, or spent some time with on of his instruments?
There isn't a lot of info out there on them. Thanks in advance |
Mark O' Connor has recently posted a couple videos of himself playing a dread style Baxendale. That's the first time I'd heard of the maker.

I've played a few of Scott's guitars, very nice instruments, indeed. Never had the chance to play a JC Baxendale. I'll have to make a point of stopping by Cotton Music next time I'm up that way. |
I own two JC Baxendale guitars and both are outstanding. I’ve owned over twenty Collings, numerous Martins, Goodalls, Larrivees, Beneteaus, etc. and the craftsmanship and TONE of Baxendale instruments ranks among the very best. Both guitars, 00’s, were commissioned and JC is great to work with. He is very open to ideas and offers guidance when decisions are made on how the build will go. North American Guitars (formerly Cotton Music) sells them or one can contact JC directly via his website. Highly recommended!!

I also recommend. I have 4 and 2 more on the way. A kalamazoo, oahu, 2 harmonies, an h55 and a roy smeck harmony on the way.... all unique, great setups, nice open tone (opposite of stiff), good dynamic range

John (JC) is one of my absolute favorite builders! I came across one of his incredible sunburst D-18s in Nashville a few years ago, which I bought and used on stage for a while. I've played a number of guitars since then (dreadnoughts, OMs, 000s, etc.), and all have been amazing. Definitely reach out to him if you want a custom build. He's very responsive and great to work with!

I played several at Cotton Music (now TNAG-Nashville) and they were All amazing guitars in the Traditional vibe!
