Description
Sound & Tone
The solid spruce top over mahogany back and sides gives a clear, punchy attack with warm mids, while the jumbo body pushes out deep bass and doubles as a percussion surface for slaps and body taps. The 643–700 mm multiscale fan-fret layout keeps low tunings tight and defined without stiffening the trebles, and the 48 mm bone nut opens up spacing for independent thumb-and-finger work. It's aimed squarely at percussive fingerstyle — tapping, harmonics and melody-over-bass arrangements — with the straight cutaway leaving upper-fret runs accessible.
Baton Rouge AR11S/JC-AM Alexandr Misko Signature Guitar Open Box
The AR11S/JC-AM brings the multiscale, wide-nut design of Alexandr Misko's flagship AR31S/JC-AM into a solid-spruce / mahogany steel-string at an entry point for home recordists and producers exploring percussive fingerstyle techniques. Introduced on his 2026 Final Boss tour, this signature model captures the core sonic and ergonomic character of his professional setup without the investment of the premium tier.
Recording percussive fingerstyle with precision intonation
The jumbo straight cutaway body delivers the bass response and articulate body-percussion surface essential for tracking fingerstyle parts, while the cutaway keeps upper-fret harmonics and melody lines accessible. Fan frets running a 643 mm treble to 700 mm bass multiscale ensure low tunings remain tight and defined on tape, and treble strings stay comfortable for fast melodic passages and tapping. The 48 mm bone nut provides proper spacing across all six strings, critical for clean double-stops and fingerstyle articulation in the mix.
Tone and resonance for studio tracking
A solid spruce top over mahogany back and sides produces a clear, punchy attack with warm mids—the ideal pairing for capturing tapping, harmonics, and layered melody-over-bass arrangements in multitrack sessions. Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, a bone saddle, chrome tuners, and a thin natural satin finish allow the top to resonate freely, translating to open, defined recordings with strong presence. Factory strung with D'Addario.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does open box mean for this guitar?
Open box means this unit was unboxed, inspected and set up by our techs, but has never been played and ships in original packaging with all factory accessories. It is sold at a reduced price and covered by our 30-day money-back return policy.
Who is this guitar built for?
This is made for fingerstyle players—from intermediate students to professionals. It excels in folk, progressive, and studio fingerstyle work where percussive technique, wide nut spacing, and articulate low-end are essential. It is not designed for metal or hard rock.
How does the multiscale fan-fret design help my playing?
The fan frets run 643 mm on the treble side to 700 mm on the bass side, keeping lower tunings tight and defined while maintaining easy treble response. This lets you play alternate tunings and drop tunings without sacrificing clarity or playability.
What is the nut width and why does it matter?
The nut is 48 mm wide, providing generous spacing for accurate fingerstyle technique across all six strings. This wider spacing reduces finger crowding and is standard for serious fingerstyle instruments.
How does this compare to the flagship AR31S model?
Both share the multiscale fan-fret design and Misko signature specs; the flagship AR31S uses pau ferro back and walnut sides for a different tonal character, while this AR11S uses mahogany back and sides for a warmer, more punchy sound at a lower price point.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $31 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
