Mario Guitars Mayer-Inspired S-Style w/ Branded Gig Bag & COA (2017, Charcoal Frost w/ Comp. Stripe)

Description

One of the best playing S-Styles you have ever played guaranteed. 

As many of you know, and a lot of you don’t, Mario Guitars is my alma mater in a way. It is where I cut my teeth and learned all I know about the boutique and modern gear markets. Coincidentally, I also believe that Mario Martin, and his team (Shout out: Tim, Shannon, Ryan, James, Colin, Cade, Rex, and the boys) are some of the most talented luthiers on the planet. I have yet to play a modern boutique F-Style vintage recreation that comes anywhere close to the caliber of work and attention to detail as the Mario Guitars line.

(Plus I recently just bought myself yet ANOTHER Mario…you could say I am a fan)

So, for all of these reasons, it is with great honor that I can now call myself a licensed Mario Guitars dealer.  

This is a used selection from Mario’s team, but it has been completely re-set up and reauthenticated by Mario himself. 

I actually took the order for this one in my time at Guitar Mill / Mario Guitars. I remember it well, it originally had a scalloped neck on it. I remember loving the guitar but hating the scallop, so when it popped up on Reverb a couple months ago at a solid price, I thought it was a good time to get this guitar set right. 

I took it to Mario and purchased a new neck. Had him finish it, attach it, relic to match and re-intonate, etc. Now it is incredible. A really amazing player.
