Saint Guitar Company Messenger
(Starting at $3500)
Builder Adam Hernandez has been at it for ten years, but this
was Saint Guitar Company’s debut NAMM show. On display
was an eye-catching double cutaway called the Messenger.
Made completely by hand, the 25 1/4” scale guitar features a
luthier grade maple top and a mahogany body and neck for
a rich, full sound. Gotoh tuners, wide/pyramid fretwire and
Seymour Duncan pickups round out the package, although it
can be completely customized for your tastes.
