We have received confirmation from our freight forwarder that guitars to fill June preorders will arrive in our Montreal loft at the end of May or first week of June. We'll set them up and get them on their way to their new homes as quickly as possible. A note to our American customers.

A Refined Take on Value: MacKenzie & Marr
True value isn’t about chasing the lowest price. It’s about choosing an instrument where tone, comfort, and craftsmanship are apparent from the first chord.

MacKenzie & Marr guitars are built around that idea. From the responsiveness of the top to the balance of the voice across the strings, every detail is chosen to deliver a playing experience that’s inspiring, reliable, and uncompromising. The result is an acoustic that projects with clarity, records beautifully, and remains articulate whether you play softly with nuance or dig in with authority.

In the video below, NotebookLM explains why MacKenzie & Marr stands out in today’s market: careful design choices, consistent build quality, and performance-forward features that are often reserved for instruments far above this price tier. It’s an objective look at what matters most to serious players—sound, feel, and long-term satisfaction.

Whether you’re searching for a primary guitar you can live with for years, or an instrument that elevates your writing, recording, and performing, MacKenzie & Marr is made to feel like more than you paid.

Watch the video and hear why discerning players consider MacKenzie & Marr a standout value.

We had a bit of fun, using AI and a touch of humour to get our message across. Why pay a dealer markup when some of the best solid wood acoustics can be yours for hundreds or thousands less?

We'll Send You A Refund....if...

On November 5th, 2025, the US Supreme Court is due to hear arguments as to the legality of taxing Americans through those tariffs.

We hope common sense and a non-partisan interpretation of the pertinent laws and the US Constitution prevail, resulting in the court upholding the lower court rulings. The tariffs will be ruled illegal.

and if that happens…

and if we receive a refund for already paid tariffs….

and, if you bought a guitar from us in US dollars after we raised our prices to accommodate those tariffs…….

We’ll send you a refund

We loaded the Red Rocket with as many guitars as she'd tolerate and headed for the Point House in Kingsburg, Nova Scotia.

Being entertained by talented guitarists in a home designed by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean is tough work, but someone has to do it.

Check out a few of the videos we recorded at "the South Shore Sessions" More to come.

On June 17th and June 19th, we hosted a guitar open house in a wonderful seaside cottage. Musicians dropped by the Point House in Kingsport, NS, to play some of our acoustics, tell tall tales, and entertain us with some great songs. Here are videos we recorded and added to our YouTube channel. More....

What’s the difference between the MacKenzie & Marr Opeongo and Baby Boat guitars?
It’s a question we hear often—and for good reason.

Both are 00-sized acoustics.
Both are crafted with the same attention to detail and tone.
But their personalities are distinct.

The Baby Boat
• Adirondack spruce top
• Bolivian rosewood back and sides
• 14 frets to the body
• Standard headstock

The Opeongo
• Sitka spruce top
• African mahogany back and sides
• 12 frets to the body
• Slotted headstock

Think of them as two voices from the same family—each with its own character, feel, and sound.

Curious which one is right for you?
We’ve laid out the full comparison on our blog:
