My kid sister, Opeongo, loves to brag about her thin finish. Like she's the only one with an open pore finish?
And speaking of names, who was the knucklehead who came up with mine? It's like they looked at a map, said "here's the island of Grand Manan", then looked at me and said "Here's Grand Manan Too"
Know one thing about my role in the family. I'm the boomer! Everyone else in the room is trying to set themselves up as "projective" (like Tofino and Dionisio) or "orchestral" (my snooty Riverboat siblings) or "I'm so Florentine" (Ian Tyson Inspiration).
I make no such high falutin claims. I simply boom through the fog with a voice that commands the room.
I'm not just one more sunburst guitar. I'm also as natural as can be - still solid AAA grade Sitka

FAQ
Why is it called the Grand Manan Too?
Originally, we planned to call it the Grand Manan Two because it replaced the original slope-shouldered Grand Manan with a Grand Auditorium body.
Then someone wrote "Too."
"Is this the Grand Manan Two?"
"No...it's the Grand Manan Too."
"Isn't that what I said?"
Exactly.
The name was simply too much fun to change.
Is the Sunburst version different from the Natural model?
No. Both guitars share the same AAA grade Solid Sitka Spruce top, tonewoods, construction and setup. The only difference is the finish colour. Whether you choose the timeless look of Natural or the vintage-inspired character of Sunburst, you'll enjoy the same musical experience.
Why does the Grand Manan Too have an open-pore finish?
The finish was chosen to complement the musical destination of the Grand Manan Too. Along with its body design, tonewoods and setup, it contributes to the lightweight, responsive character we wanted this guitar to deliver. Like every design decision on a MacKenzie & Marr guitar, it was selected because it belongs on this instrument.
Who is the Grand Manan Too designed for?
The Grand Manan Too was created for musicians looking for one guitar that feels equally at home across a wide range of musical styles. Whether you're accompanying a singer, exploring fingerstyle, writing songs or simply enjoying an evening of playing, its balanced voice and effortless playability make it a guitar you'll reach for every day.
Why did you choose African Mahogany instead of Bolivian Rosewood?
Every MacKenzie & Marr guitar begins with a musical destination, not a list of materials. For the Grand Manan Too, solid African Mahogany was chosen because it contributes warmth, balance and a noticeably lighter instrument. Combined with its Grand Auditorium body, the result is a guitar that's exceptionally comfortable to play for extended sessions while delivering the projection and sustain players expect from a full-sized acoustic.
