Birch Resonator Guitar

Gregg McKenna individually handcrafts each guitar in his New England shop using high
quality woods and hardware. He has built many fine instruments through
the years. McKenna guitars are known for their consistency in setup,
tone, excellent volume, as well as the overall quality and durability
of construction. Looking inside, you will notice how well the guitars
are made and the attention to detail in the construction of each
instrument that comes from his shop. Only the highest quality hardware
is selected. The guitars are built in an unhurried small shop setting where
quality construction is always the main goal. All wood parts are
handcrafted in the shop for each guitar individually. Although some
power tools are used in the building process, much of the work is still
done by hand. Gregg has been a woodworker and craftsman for many years.

THE GUITARS
|
|
The interior
construction of the guitars are built and designed to handle the added
stresses of the higher tunings and heavier strings used with resonator
guitars. Strong linings as well as sturdy neck and tailblocks inside
give the guitars added stability . . Owners of these guitars use them in a variety of music styles.
Through the years, McKenna Guitars have proven themselves in quality,
durablity, and overall customer satisfaction.

The
Birch model uses Baltic Birch top, back, and sides. The sturdy soundbox
construction gives these guitars excellent volume and make a great
guitar for any musician.
These are available in 6, 7, 8, and 10 string models. The
7 and 8 string guitars use a wider neck (not just extra strings
crammed onto a 6 string neck), and the standard traditional tailpiece
with extra string slots machined.
The Mahogany model uses solid genuine mahogany top, back, and sides (solid sitka spruce on spruce top model).
The Maple model uses solid maple top, back, and sides (solid sitka spruce on spruce top model).
The Walnut model uses solid walnut top, back, sides, and neck (solid sitka spruce on spruce top model).
Squarenecks
are used on all models (for steel playing). Mahogany is the wood
of choice for necks (except on the walnut model which uses a walnut
neck). A 25" scale
fretboard is standard. A
solid bone nut is used and Grover tuning machines are on the solid
peghead.
Top and back body binding is standard on all models and is offered as an option on the fretboards.
WHAT'S NEW
Slotted Pegheads available as an option on 6 and 8 string models
24 fret fretboards available as an option on all models
