Roy Noble Acoustic Guitars In Stock


 For 14 years as the dealer for Roy Noble, we have enjoyed a steady supply of these professional studio grade guitars. Mr Noble has a long history of building the highest quality guitars used in numerous recordings spanning over forty years. Mr Noble works alone, and creates approximately 20 fine guitars per year. How many other builders can you name with almost FIFTY YEARS experience? 100% of all experienced guitarists that play or hear a Noble comment on the wonderful tone, and it is not unusual for someone hearing them for the first time to buy one immediately.
      While it is wonderful to experience the tones from a Noble Brazilian Rosewood Custom guitar, the fact remains that even the much lower cost Standard models will also win you over with equally amazing tonality.
       * Myth dispelled: Do you realize that there are ALMOST NO RECORDINGS of Clarence White playing the "large soundhole D-28" in the studio? There are some shots of him playing it on the Andy Griffith Show...
Yet there are extensive recordings of Clarence White playing Roy Noble Guitars, "live" and in studio, and almost all film footage has him playing his Noble.

Roy Noble Concert Mahogany DeLuxe 1 Buy Roy Noble Concert Mahogany DeLuxe 1 New Roy Noble Concert Mahogany DeLuxe w/ Adirondack Red Spruce Top Guitar 'In Stock'

     New. Very nice Amazon Mahogany back, sides and neck. Very high grade silky Adirondack Red Spruce top. Ebony blank fingerboard and Ebony bridge. Nickel Waverly tuners with ivoroid buttons. Body is bound top and back with flamed Maple binding. Roy Noble's handmade wooden "spiral" purflings inside top edge of guitar and around soundhole rosette. Bone nut and intonated saddle. Ebony pins. Brazilian Rosewood peghead overlay.
     Roy Noble guitars are known for their great tone and this one is no exception. It yields the same power and projection of the Noble dreadnoughts in a smaller body.
     This guitar has a beautiful top. The Red Spruce has a creamy texture and is complemented nicely by the Maple binding and rosette. The back, sides and neck are very appealing sets of Mahogany with a wood bound back that gives it a "natural" appearance. 1 3/4 width nut, and 25 1/4" scale.
     The 25 1/4" scale length is the main scale Mr Noble has used since back in the mid-1960's. It feels great with mediums, if you have to have mediums, but feels possibly even better with lights (12's), extra lights (11's), and even ultra lights (10's)... you really have to hear one with these lighter gauges to believe the wonderful feel and big tone from a Noble strung with them.
     Nobles sound very good when new... but the big treat is when they are about 2 years old. When they've aged that much, you get the same tones as before, but with more maturity, depth, response, and projection.
