A real Young Guitar, played and not merely described.
This demo of the model comes from the Joshua Young Built Guitars playlist linked on Joshua’s original website.
The model
Built around a clear purpose.
The Shawn Brock Special is a unique variation on the Young Workhorse. Light and dark blue purfling, an inlaid endgraft and heel cap, binding around the heel cap, a shortened Style 18 inlay pattern and a custom pearl bull give it an identity of its own.
Joshua reserved a small supply of old growth West Virginia red spruce tops from John Arnold and unique figured Honduran mahogany sets for this model. It is listed at $12,000 with limited customization and limited preorder availability.
