RESERVE SERIES

The Bespoke Collection

The MacMillan Guitars Reserve Series is the highest expression of our craft — a collection created for the client who refuses to settle for an instrument that is merely exceptional.

Reserve guitars are commissioned, not selected.

Each instrument begins with a private consultation between the client and Marty MacMillan, where the guitar’s character, aesthetic, voice, and purpose are carefully defined. From there, every element of the instrument is considered as part of a singular design.

The Reserve Series provides access to some of the most extraordinary tonewoods in the MacMillan collection, including exceptional Brazilian rosewood, Madagascar rosewood, select cocobolo, and rare old-growth mahogany. These are woods chosen not simply for their scarcity, but for their individual character, acoustic potential, figure, color, and history.

For the Reserve client, the possibilities extend well beyond the choice of wood.

Inlay work is entirely bespoke. Elegant custom headplates, hand-selected pearl and abalone, intricate purfling, custom rosettes, and other ornamental details can be developed specifically for the instrument. Subtle and refined or elaborate and unmistakable, the aesthetic is determined by the client’s vision.

Every Reserve guitar is an opportunity to create something that has never existed before.

Marty’s role is not simply to build the guitar. It is to bring together the client’s ideas with decades of hands-on experience, design intuition, and an uncompromising approach to craftsmanship. Proportion, materials, appointments, ergonomics, voicing, and finish are considered together so that the final instrument feels intentional from the smallest detail to the overall silhouette.

There are no predetermined combinations and no requirement to follow a catalog specification.

The client brings the vision.

MacMillan Guitars brings the expertise to realize it.

The result is an instrument created specifically for one individual — a guitar whose materials, appointments, voice, and personality cannot simply be duplicated by ordering another.

A MacMillan Reserve is more than a guitar.

It is a bespoke instrument, commissioned to become part of your musical legacy.

Because the finest instruments are not mass-produced.

They are imagined.

They are commissioned.

They are built once.
