DREADNOUGHT
Martin 12 & 14 fret and Gibson slope shoulder
The Dreadnought is arguably the single most recognizable steel string guitar model in the world. Officially introduced in the early thirties by C.F. Martin, this guitar has found its way into every style of music. With an extremely powerful voice, the Dreadnought was designed to have the volume to battle the banjos of the time, yet has influenced a diverse pallette of musical styles.
JUMBO
For years guitarists have sought the Jumbo for its powerful, ringing tone. The characteristically round lower bout and tight-waisted bodies are found in music from Country and Western, Swing, and Rock and Roll. McAlister Guitars offers its own version of this dynamic instrument.
CONCERT
12 & 14 fret models
The McAlister Concert model takes its inspiration from the old Martin O.M. of the early 30's. Incorporating vintage style scalloped bracing and light construction, McAlister Guitars' contemporary design and styling provides today's guitarist with an amazingly versatile instrument.
LUCAS
12, 13 & 14 fret models
The McAlister Lucas model is designed to have the presence of a large guitar with the playability of a smaller body. Incorporating a deep body under a narrower sound board creates the bass resonance needed to produce the large body tone. Scalloped bracing and a deep, narrow- waisted body assist in creating a tone that is very impressive and superior playability that allows greater freedom of motion.

VINTAGE SERIES
The Vintage Series offers McAlister tone and playability with a classic aesthetic.

Models include Martin-style 0, 00, 000, Dreadnought [12 or 14 fret], and OM; and also Gibson-style L-00, Nick Lucas, Advanced Jumbo, J-45 and Roy Smeck.
