Timberline®
6 String & Harp Guitars

My T20HGc had public debut last night. I grow more deeply fond of my T20 with every passing day and extoll its virtues to everyone I can. Simply put, it is the best musical instrument value I have ever stumbled across in 40 years. Love this thing!

This harp guitar is out of this world and I couldn’t be happier with it!

"The T70 plays every bit as well as it looks for two main reasons - the neck and the set-up. Starting with the mahogany neck, this is a real peach that's obviously designed for a variety of playing styles. This is no vintage "V" or a clubby handful; instead it's a softly rounded 'C' at the cowboy end with a well-judged taper towards the stacked heel. It feels immediately comfortable and familiar, not too thick or thin, and there's enough width for fingerpickers without feeling unnatural for strumming. As for the set-up, this feels like a high-dollar guitar. "

It’s been a dream of mine to have one of these guitars…and it is truly the coolest thing I’ve ever played in my life

I have a Timberline T20HGc and absolutely love it - it sounds incredible

"Your line of beautiful guitars immediately caught my eye and I'm so glad I stopped to talk to you. I can't stop playing or looking at my new Timberline - there's nothing like getting a new guitar. I've got to tell you that you had a lot of tough competition. I played some Collings, Breedloves, and Santa Cruz guitars just before playing yours and the Timberline held up real well against some $4,000 guitars. I've compared it to my Taylor 812CE and even though they have completely different sounds I really enjoy the softer sound that the Cedar top on the Timberline brings out - along with the different feel to the neck. Thanks again for a beautiful guitar. You were right when you said years from now I'm really going to be glad I went for the better instrument."

This harp guitar is fantastic. It’s the best harp guitar you can get for the price. It has many features, such as the arm bevel, that would make it much more expensive if you went with any other company.

I am extremely impressed with the sound, feel and quality of this wonderful instrument. Knowing full well I have chosen the absolute entry level of your offerings, I can only imagine what kind of sorcery is contained in the highest options

"The Timberline sounded brilliant and truly inspiring plugged in. A great value solid top acoustic that competes with guitars more than twice its price" - MusicGearSource.com, online Review."

I played some Collings, Breedloves, and Santa Cruz guitars just before playing the Timberline – it held up real well against some $4,000 guitars. I've compared my Timberline T85Ac to my Taylor 812CE and even though they have completely different sounds I really enjoy the softer sound that the Cedar top on the Timberline brings out - along with the different feel to the neck. You were right when you said years from now I'm really going to be glad I went for the better instrument.

I have been exploring my new T30HGc. The workmanship and sound is amazing. I am predominantly using the traditional 6-string at this point, but I find the resonance picked on the bass strings is really strong and provides a very full sound.

My new rig is pretty awesome. I collect and play a lot of different string instruments and this one is now my most unique and new favorite. What a sound!

I am amazed by the tone, action, and build quality of this solid timber guitar. I have been a Taylor owner for over twenty years and not planning a¯ change but after playing the Timberline T75GAc cedar-top Grand Auditorium I was sold!!! This guitar is now my main guitar. I am a Worship leader and I also play solo gigs at restaurants. I’m impressed with the K&K Pure Mini pickup option. If asked my opinion about a quality acoustic guitar Timberline® will be my recommendation!!!!

"TWO TASTY TIMBERLINES - These guitars put a somewhat modern twist on the all-time classic acoustic blueprint, retaining many of the important design elements while managing to be somewhat more friendly to the fingerpicker than many a traditional dreadnought. The shorter scale length and spacious fingerboards are an interesting move and, on this evidence, a very successful one. More importantly, these guitars get all the important bits right, from raw materials to build, finishing and setup. Timberline seems to be really pushing the price/quality ratio here and, at the risk of descending into cliché, these guitars could be mistaken for instruments at twice the price. For its breadth of sound - especially for fingerstyle - we would spend a little extra and go for the T70D, which also scores highest when it comes to looks. That said, both of these Timberline acoustics are great-sounding guitars."

It’s a pleasure to play. Nice feel on the neck and I’m very happy with the overall sound. It’s a beauty.

I LOVE IT! It has met and passed all of my expectations. The intonation on the six string neck is dead on the money; I find that to be something that is really rare. The sound is amazing! Very well balanced, no dead spots, no dead notes. It is fantastic.

The Timberline six-string guitars have such a beautiful and articulate tone. Playability is fantastic. In a word…Musical.

"The T30Ac’s construction and design certainly suggest that it was conceived as a fingerstylist’s instrument. And the even, harmonic resonance derived from a few first-position chords suggests that Timberline nailed the basics of fingerstyle guitar design.

At the neck joint, on the fretboard, and inside the guitar, the workmanship is excellent, if not flawless.

The substantial neck, short scale, and ample string spacing make moving around the fingerboard fast and comfortable, and under light picking the guitar rings with a pleasing, round, and colorful tone. It also invited some full-step blues bends way up the neck in standard tuning, which were eased by the almost jumbo-size fretwire. Lower-register strings, too, rang out with a smooth, round, bell-like quality.

The high build quality and fine timber suggest that  the Timberline will last more than long enough develop a more complex voice and higher volume ceiling. And the guitar’s sweet tones under lighter attack hint at its balanced construction and a well-conceived tonewood recipe."

Varying string tensions from multiple different tunings usually, on most other instruments, throw the other strings off a little, but not so with the T60 - very solid. Sounds great through the system I use, AER Compact 60 with powered subwoofer.

I’ve been having an absolute ball with the guitar. Fit and finish are tight, the neck is chunky enough that the nut width isn’t a problem and E Standard and DADF#AD have unfolded in a range of new tones and textures. It’s lighter than I thought it would be. Thanks for making this happen. I’ve wanted to be able to make music like this for a long time.

The 24.9" scale and ample string spacing make moving around the fingerboard fast and comfortable – under light picking the guitar rings with a pleasing, round, and colorful tone. It also invited some full-step blues bends way up the neck in standard tuning. Low-register strings, too, rang out with a smooth, round, bell quality.

"I have affectionately come to refer to the Timberline ARG-7C-S [Auditorium Cutaway, Rosewood and Sitka Spruce top] as a 'poor man's Taylor 914,' and I mean that as an extreme compliment to both guitars. the [Timberline] ARG-7C-S  holds it's own and gives you a very 914-like tone at less than $800. If you can't afford a 914, the [Timberline] ARG-7C-S would serve you well until you can."  Fett, Technology Editor, Performing Songwriter Magazine
