Notes: It is expected that a first-class luthier will excel at the fundamentals of the craft: joinery, voicing, fit
and finish. But Mark Campellone is that rarest of builders who succeeds where so many of his peers fall
short, in the crucial dimension of design. Simply put,
all of Mark's instruments are beautiful, as pleasing to
behold as they are
to play. Simple, tasteful, with understated elegance, Campellone guitars
draw from the
heart of traditional styling, updated with bold, modern flair.

This instrument is from Mark's Standard series, and is a wonderful example of his work. Handmade at his
Rhode Island workshop, this Venetian cutaway guitar is made in the classic tradition, carved of exceptionally
figured quilted maple, with a hand-graduated tap-tuned quartersawn Sitka spruce soundboard.

The neck profile is an elegant gentle D, with smooth low action over finely dressed medium fretwork.. This
gleaming example was built with a slimmer 2 3/8" body depth, for enhanced comfort, and weighs in at a
delightful 5lb 13oz. A final touch is the original art-deco styled tailpiece, surely among the most attractive
ever designed, and the solid ebony fingerboard is graced with a single block inlay at the 12th fret, cursively
inscribed with the name of the original owner.

The X-braced soundboard lends warmth and depth to the acoustic voice, which is clear and balanced through
the entire range. Apart from some fogging on the pickup cover, the instrument shows few signs of playwear
altogether. We can think of no other maker today who delivers so much quality so reasonably. Not
surprisingly, value like this has generated quite a backlog. Skip the long wait list, and snag this immaculate
specimen while you can. One only: call now.

Setup: This instrument is strung with medium gauge nickel roundwound


strings (.013-.056). The guitar will
accommodate lighter or heavier gauge
strings, according to preference. String action is set at 5/64" to
6/64"
at the 12th fret, with moderate relief for acoustic playing with
medium strings. The action may be lowered or
raised to your requirements
with the adjustable bridge.

Case: Original worn Cedar Creek black


arched plush lined hardshell case.
