Barlow Guitars Eagle | Master Grade Quilted Maple Natural
Barlow Guitars Eagle | Master Grade Quilted Maple Natural
Couldn't load pickup availability
Every so often, a piece emerges from the boutique world that reminds us just how high the bar can go. This is one of those instruments — rarely seen on the pre-owned market, and even less often in brand new, unplayed condition.
Hand-built by luthier Ricky Barlow, this Eagle is a testament to what’s possible when one person sees the entire process through — from wood selection to final polish. The master grade quilted maple top is nothing short of mesmerizing, with a deep, dimensional figure that shifts with the light. Paired with a 1-piece swamp ash body, Brazilian rosewood fretboard, and Honduran mahogany neck, every element has been chosen for both tone and aesthetic impact. This is luthiery without compromise — the kind of instrument that almost never surfaces for sale in brand new, unplayed condition
This Eagle arrived to us directly from Ricky just last week and remains in brand new, unplayed condition. No waitlists, no build times — it’s in stock now at our Chicago location and ready for its first home. Featuring a Brazilian rosewood fretboard, this one is available to U.S. buyers only (no CITES paperwork). The original build cost was $10,000 USD — a rare chance to own one of the finest boutique builds on the market today for just $8,950 USD.
