Price: $799.99.
Mitchell’s 2025 Launch and Motion Series marks the beginning of a reimagining of Mitchell as Guitar Center’s premier in-house acoustic brand, introducing 10 all new dreadnought and junior body models priced from $99.99 to $199.99. Engineered from the ground up with proprietary designs, the lineup delivers playability-driven specs such as shorter scale lengths, tension reducing headstocks, and string through bridges, offering features rarely seen at this price point. The first wave is available now during Guitar-A-Thon, with the high gloss D150 Motion Series and three quarter size O100JR in store and online, the under $100 D75S Starter available online, and the D100 offered exclusively online with a comfortable satin finish that sets a new standard for sound and quality in the sub $150 range, making it the best full size dreadnought for players on a budget. The O100JR is built for kids, smaller players, travel, or casual playing at home, while the D75S Starter provides an accessible entry point with a string through bridge and a 10 degree headstock angle. Additional models will roll out later this year, setting the tone for Mitchell’s relaunch with guitars that bring premium features to the sub $200 category and defy expectations of what an affordable instrument can be.
