T20 Series guitarsThe 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.

ID - Timberline T20HGcMy 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!

T70 Solid Rosewood Dreadnought Standard with Solid Sitka Spruce Top"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. "

VP Marketing, Sony Pro Audio, Timberline T75Ac, Auditorium Cutaway, Cedar Top"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."

T60HGc-e Harp GuitarThis 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.

Timberline T30HGc Harp GuitarI 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.

Timberline® T70HGpc-e acoustic-electric with double K&K Pure Mini pickupsMy 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!

Timberline T75GAc Grand Auditorium acoustic-electricI 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!!!!

T70D Solid Rosewood Dreadnought, T50D Solid Mahogany Dreadnought"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."

T20 HGc Harp GuitarIt’s a pleasure to play. Nice feel on the neck and I’m very happy with the overall sound. It’s a beauty.

T60HGcI 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.

Acoustic Guitar Magazine Review
Timberline® T30Ac Auditorium Cutaway - Solid Sitka Spruce Top"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."

Cary NC - T60HGc-eVarying 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.
Logan Wells
Weaverville NC - Timberline T20HGcI’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.

ARG7CS Rosewood Auditorium Cutaway - Solid Sitka Spruce Top"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."

This has been the best customer service experience I have ever or will ever have. Anywhere. You answered my questions immediately, anticipated the next action and in 24hrs I was tuning up. Incredible sound. Very responsive and excellent tone. The setup is good for my touch. I play fingerstyle and the action is not too light or heavy. I use a range of tunings and now the harp strings have expanded those possibilities. I spent yesterday experimenting with tunings and the separate pick-up system. The creative mind explodes.
JOHN BETZ
It is a sonic powerhouse, yet wonderfully complex and subtle, visually beautiful and expertly crafted. I have now had a chance to spend some time with it, and I am absolutely blown away. The amount of resonance and tonal range is unbelievable even when only playing the standard guitar neck. It's a whole new world.
