Old-School Warmth

Built from solid spruce, the top’s stained finish adds a golden, worn-in character. As the wood continues to settle and dry over time, the tone will only open up and deepen, growing richer with each year of play.

Functionality & Aesthetics

Modern guitar builds have plenty of perks, but there’s no denying the magic of a vintage instrument. The Overland Retro is our nod to that simpler time—a throwback twist on a few of our most-loved models. In a fast-moving world, it’s a reminder to slow down and enjoy the music.

Set Up in Los Angeles

Professionally set up before shipping, your guitar arrives ready to play—with fresh strings and a gig bag included.

Top Wood Guide

Spruce

A classic tonewood for acoustic guitars, spruce is a well-rounded, durable wood that’s suitable for many styles of playing.

Torrefied Spruce

A vintage-inspired upgrade, torrefied spruce is roasted to remove excess moisture, so the guitar continues to play at peak performance.

Mahogany

A common tonewood for top, back, and sides, Mahogany is known for its clarity and evenness to accentuate the mid-range tones.

Cedar

An excellent topwood for classical guitars, cedar is perfect for delicate playing styles, like fingerpicking and soft strumming.
