MCALISTER GUITARS
Models
- McAlister Dreadnought ~ 12 and 14 fret models
- McAlister Jumbo
- McAlister Concert ~ 12 and 14 fret models.
The McAlister Concert model takes its inspiration from the old Martin O.M. of the early 30's. Incorporating vintage style scalloped bracing and light construction, McAlister Guitars' contemporary design and styling provides today's guitarist with an amazingly versatile instrument.
- Lucas ~ 12, 13 & 14 fret models
The McAlister Lucas model is designed to have the presence a large guitar with the playability of a smaller body. Incorporating a deep body under a narrower sound board creates the bass resonance needed to produce the large body tone. Scalloped bracing and a deep, narrow- waisted body assist in creating a tone that is very impressive and superior playability that allows greater freedom of motion.
And now, Roy also offers the Vintage Series!
