From Classic Roots to Modern Heights: The Iconic La Playa Guitar

When we set out to design and develop the Iconic La Playa, we knew the world had enough single-cut, carved-top guitars, and we love and admire many of those. However, within the realm of guitars, there’s always room for innovation and a fresh take on the classics. The Iconic La Playa is our testament to this belief—a guitar that not only respects the heritage of single-cut design but also propels it into uncharted territory. In this blog post, we invite you to delve into the world of the Iconic La Playa.

Officially unveiled at the NAMM Show in 2023, the Iconic La Playa represents a pinnacle of guitar design and craftsmanship. It’s not just another guitar; it’s a work of art. Kevin Proctor (Founder and President) and the Iconic Guitars staff have poured their heart and soul into this creation.
