Sound Pure's Take

It's amazing when you encounter a guitar that is both unique and iconic. Mark Campellone knows how to appeal to the traditionalist in all of us, while at the same time adding his own aesthetic to the mix. This guitar plays like melted butter and sounds perfect in every way. Truly a work of art. That drool-inducing burst doesn't hurt either.

Inspired by the great orchestra-style instruments, the archtop guitars Mark builds today are 

among the world's finest. With their beautiful styling, excellent playability and superb acoustic quality, his instruments have quickly gained the attention of archtop enthusiasts 

across the U.S. and abroad. Combining quality materials, design artistry and expert 

craftsmanship, Mark produces instruments which establish him as one of today's premiere builders of acoustic archtop guitars. His work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum of 

American History as part of the Blue Guitar Project and has been covered in numerous 

guitar related publications.
