The Ullapool Guitar 2026 - For Sale

I think "The Ullapool Orsino" is rather a good name. "The London Orsino " wouldn't work quite so well, nor "The Newcastle Orsino". Or is it just me?

I rather like "The Accrington Orsino" though, so if anybody ever starts a guitar festival in Accrington, please let me know?

Anyway, moving on.

This is a very well-known guitar model, but with a little extra added to make it "special".

For this one, we've used Claro Walnut, grown in the UK, for the back and sides instead of the usual Brazilian Mahogany. The two timbers are fairly close in density and stiffness, so I anticipated the sound being the same warm deep resonance as the mahogany version.

If I had to stop using Mahogany for bodies or necks, I'd quite happily move to Claro Walnut instead and it does have those lovely deep mixes of colour. I think "Umber" describes it fairly well , mixes of brown green and red.

The top, which defines a large part of the Orsino sound, is Red Cedar, the neck is one piece Mahogany with an Ebony fingerboard

A simple, but really special guitar.

There is no need to attend the festival if you want to buy this. It's for sale NOW at £4,200, and ALL the proceeds will go to the festival - SOLD
