Mark Usherovich, 2023

Cedar / Indian Rosewood

This beautiful 2023 instrument comes from rising Canadian luthier Mark Usherovich, known for his lightweight, concert-level carbon lattice guitars that are quickly gaining recognition among top players.

This is my second Usherovich guitar in the shop after hearing years of glowing recommendations — and I can confidently say it lives up to the excitement.

 

Built with a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides, this model features a carbon-reinforced lattice bracing system, offering a stunning balance of huge sustain, clarity, warmth, and playability. The guitar weighs significantly less than many other carbon lattice instruments, making it an absolute joy to hold and perform on.

 

Despite the powerful modern voice, Mark's guitars remain extremely musical and natural sounding, never tipping into a synthetic or "over-built" aesthetic that some lattice guitars can suffer from. This is truly one of the most impressive modern concert guitars I have played.
