If you’re at all unfamiliar with this range of acoustic guitars, Ciaran McNally works out of Craigavon, Armagh in Northern Ireland. He previously studied lutherie in both Northern Ireland and London, moving on to work for Lowden as a senior craftsman and Atkin Guitars in Canterbury as the company’s production manager.
Since that time he’s launched his own stable of handmade instruments that seek to “take the warmth and complexity of Celtic guitars and add some of the definition and fundamental qualities of American guitars”, concluding that he feels that the result is a more versatile instrument.
