The McNally Model S is a remarkable instrument that seamlessly blends the best tonal characteristics of both North American and European acoustic guitars. Built with precision and artistry, this guitar showcases the refined craftsmanship of Ciaran McNally, a luthier whose exceptional skill and experience far exceed his years. Having honed his craft in some of the most respected workshops in the industry, McNally has developed a reputation for building guitars that exhibit unparalleled balance, responsiveness, and tonal depth.
At the heart of the Model S is a Western Red Cedar top, a tonewood prized for its warmth, sensitivity, and rich overtones. This topwood, paired with stunning figured Mahogany back and sides, creates a beautifully resonant voice with a strong fundamental presence and shimmering complexity. The result is an instrument that excels in fingerstyle playing but is equally adept at flatpicking, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of musical styles.
The Model S’s meticulous construction extends beyond its tonal attributes. A Maple neck provides a stable and comfortable playing experience, while an Ebony fingerboard, bridge, and headstock contribute to both durability and elegance. The figured Mahogany rosette and figured Maple bindings add a touch of understated luxury, further enhanced by wood fiber purflings and delicate pinstriping on the headstock and fingerboard. The attention to detail in the aesthetic design reflects McNally’s dedication to producing instruments that are as visually striking as they are sonically inspiring.
With a 24.9” scale length, a 14.2” lower bout, and a comfortable 4.1” body depth, the Model S is designed for effortless playability. Its 1 3/4” nut width and 2 1/4” bridge spacing offer a balanced feel that caters to both intricate fingerstyle arrangements and expressive chord work. Gotoh 510 tuning machines provide precise and stable tuning, while the gloss body finish highlights the guitar’s exquisite tonewoods and craftsmanship. Weighing just 4 lbs 1 oz, this lightweight yet resonant instrument is a joy to hold and play.
Housed in a high-quality hard case for protection, the McNally Model S is more than just a guitar—it is a testament to the artistry and passion of one of the finest young luthiers in the industry today. With its unique blend of tonal richness, elegant aesthetics, and impeccable craftsmanship, this guitar is a true inspiration for any musician seeking a world-class instrument.
