Inspired by Dave Matthews 914ce, the DMSM is an Indian rosewood/Sitka spruce Grand Auditorium. A custom fretboard inlay blends elements of the popular "Cindy" inlay, which graces Matthews 914ce, with a design that pays tribute to the band's longtime sax player, LeRoi Moore, who passed away in 2008. Based on a sketch that Matthews provided, a crown inlay between the 11th and 12th frets honors Moore, incorporating ball-tipped points with one ball partially missing in his memory. A nickname of Moore's within the band, "Grux" is inlaid between the 13th and 18th frets. The headstock inlay also was developed from a sketch by Matthews. The guitar top was shaded with an aged toner to approximate the patina Matthews has on his older 914ce. Each DMSM comes with a custom guitar label and a certificate of authenticity, both personally signed by Matthews Learn More

The CEO-7 blends vintage inspiration with modern craftsmanship in a compact, slope-shoulder 00 design that sounds as good as it looks. Designed by Chris Martin IV, this model features a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides for a warm, punchy tone with excellent clarity and projection. The 24.9" scale length and Modified V neck with a 1 3/4" nut width offer a comfortable, classic feel, while scalloped X-bracing brings out the best in every note. Finished in a striking Autumn Sunset Burst with antique white binding, it’s full of throwback charm—from the abalone Old Style 18 inlays to the aged nickel tuners. Whether you’re playing at home or on stage (thanks to optional electronics), the CEO-7 is a standout. And yes, it comes with a hardshell case—because a guitar this good deserves to travel in style.
