2015 Sheppard Ave Maria Grand Auditorium, Madagascar Rosewood/Swiss Spruce

[pheumiller]

Gerald Sheppard, you slay us! This Grand Auditorium is a dyed in the wool powerhouse. Like, woah. We were impressed with this beauty when we first played it in 2015, and now in 2021 we’re absolutely blown away by how much it’s opened up. This one’s got gears, and gears—and trimmed out in his exclusive Ave Maria appointment package! Dramatically figured Madagascar Rosewood back and sides pair up with a creamy Swiss Spruce on top for power, overtones, and control. It’s fabulous for fingerstyle, and the larger Grand Auditorium body size holds up great for strumming as well. Creature comforts include arm and rib bevels and a soundport, as well as a svelte Venetian Cutaway. Snag this livewire while it’s still here!

"Here’s a recent beauty from Gerald Sheppard. I’ve known Gerald for years and he’s one of those makers who truly put his heart and soul into his craft and it shows and this fine grand auditorium." - Paul Heumiller
