Here's a nice 2017 Martin 000-28 in excellent condition, with some honest play wear, a few small dings in the top (bass side upper bout) and at the top of the headstock. These are cosmetic issues, the guitar is structurally fine. Dovetail neck joint, scalloped X bracing, comfortable modified low oval neck. With original hardshell case. Aftermarket pickup installed. Great guitar for the money. Condition: Excellent; Top: Sitka spruce; Back and sides: East Indian rosewood; Neck: Mahogany; Nut: 1 3/4; Width: 14 3/4; Depth: 4 1/4; Scale: 24.9; Binding: Ivoroid; Purfling: Herringbone; Rosette: b/w/b; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course) -
Here's a well cared for 2012 Gibson Hummingbird True Vintage in excellent condition, classic sound, lovely "Cali Girl" case (brown with pink lining), gold tulip tuners and a VOS finish. Hard to find a lefty like this in such nice condition. Has aged and opened up nicely. Unmistakeable Gibson tone. Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square shouldered acoustic, the Hummingbird was embraced by everyone from Keith Richards to Gram Parsons and quickly became a staple in folk, country and rock. I love the short 24.75 scale on this guitar, the bass is big and round and the guitar has that unmistakable Gibson sound. Sitka top, mahogany back and sides, rosewood bridge and fretboard, parallelogram block inlays, and a gorgeous heritage sunburst. Built in Bozeman, Montana. A classic. Condition: Excellent; Top: Sitka; Back and sides: Mahogany; Neck: Mahogany, rosewood fretboard; Nut: 1.725; Width: 16; Depth: 4 3/4; Scale: 24.75; Binding: Ivoroid; Purfling: w/b/w; Rosette: w/b/w -
Here's a new Huss and Dalton Traditional OM in east Indian rosewood with a thermo-cured (torrified) sitka spruce top, Gotoh 510 tuners and a handsome tweed case. Always one of my favorites OMs, and the build quality is second to none. Everybody knows that like a fine wine, well-kept acoustic guitars get better with age. The passage of decades cures the wood through exposure to light and air. Huss and Dalton now offers sitka spruce that has been “torrified,” or exposed to a careful heating process that achieves the same results that occur naturally over time. The wood appears darker, as vintage guitars do, and it is lighter and stiffer. But how does it sound? Amazing, in a word. Condition: New; Top: Sitka spruce, torrified; Back and sides: East Indian rosewood; Neck: Mahogany; Nut: 1 3/4; Width: 15 1/8; Depth: 4 1/8; Scale: 25.4; Binding: Tortoise; Purfling: b/w/b; Rosette: b/w/b; Lefthanded guitar (of course) -
I love 00 guitars -- the tonal balance and perfect size for sitting on the couch or performing. Here's a beautiful 12-fret Collings 002H with the Traditional package. With Collings’ typical terrific projection and great volume, this guitar will amaze you with its voice. Beautiful build, 12-fret, slotted headstock with Waverley tuners, a gorgeous style 2 sunburst, Traditional package, short scale, pre-war scalloped bracing, Traditional neck carve, ebony fretboard and bridge, and tortoise/wood binding. Impossible to put down. Lifetime warranty and hardshell case. Serial # 3397 Collings sez: " The new Traditional Series variations of our classic 12-fret 00 take a vintage-inspired approach to voicing and construction designed to produce a strong fundamental response and open feel, with rounder highs and less overtone complexity compared to the signature Collings sound. The combination of an open slotted peghead, shorter 24 7/8" scale length, and pyramid bridge paired with our ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish and newly redesigned neck support make for a woody and articulate voice that exemplifies everything we love about the T-Series. With a longer upper bout than its 14-fret counterpart, the 00 offers rich, balanced tone with excellent note separation, making it a fine choice for fingerstyle guitarists, singer-songwriters, or anyone else looking for a balance of comfort, volume, and responsiveness."

Welcomed internationally as both timely and timeless, the 1929-00 has received sparkling reviews from the most prestigious publications in France, Germany, UK and the US.

The J-45 is a tonal standard, and this new 60s J-45 Original puts it right in your hands. Handsome wine red finish and an adjustable saddle makes setup a breeze. Plays beautifully. Really nice guitar. Gibson sez: "When you listen to a Gibson round-shoulder acoustic, you will notice that it responds exactly to the player's style and technique - powerful one moment, soft and mellow the next.

Here's a brand-new National Resophonic El Trovador, single cone resonator in mahogany. National's build quality is, as always, off the charts and I love these round neck resonators that are equally at home with a slide or a flatpick. I'll let National describe it: "Its Spanish name translates as “The Troubador,” and this wood-body single-cone National has been popular with musicians ever since its debut in 1932. This reissue was designed in collaboration with renowned blues and swing guitarist Mike Dowling. Like the original, our El Trovador features a large, four-inch-deep body constructed of mahogany — a wood famed for its sonic properties. A wooden soundwell houses the resonator, adding to the unique sound projection. The body is bound in multi-layer celluloid, with a matching purfling border around the classic coverplate. An ebony fretboard is mated to the solid mahogany neck, which is capped by a rosewood headstock overlay. With its rich, deep, warm tone, our El Trovador is one of National’s most popular guitars among troubadors everywhere."

If you can handle the full C carve on it, I can't think of a better slope shoulder dread out there. With original hardshell case. Gorgeous guitar. Opened up and actually better than when it was brand new to my ears. Sounds like a piano. Collings' latest offering is a Traditional update on their terrific slope-shouldered CJ series. Very impressive guitar with some nice touches, including a gold mother of pearl Collings logo, a stout full C neck carve and typical Collings attention to detail. I'll let them describe it: "As with all of our Traditional Series guitars, when it came time to add a “T” designation to our slope-shoulder offerings, we didn’t simply tweak the original; the all-new Collings CJ-45 T is a fully re-imagined instrument that offers a distinct tonal variation when compared to our CJ and CJ-35 models. Strongly vintage-inspired, the body construction has been completely re-engineered, including new bracing carves and patterns. When combined with our latest T-Series neck design and new CJ-45 neck profile, the result showcases a tone that is exceptionally dry and fundamental with the growl and thump sought after in the great slope-shoulder dreads of the Wartime era."Bracing: Behind the scenes but foundational to an acoustic guitar’s tone is its bracing. While the CJ-45 T shares the same body shape as our other CJ models, its top and back Wartime X-bracing is entirely different in layout, profile, and carve, resulting in a dry and direct fundamental with quick decay that significantly expands the line’s tonal range. Traditional Series Finish: As with every Collings Traditional instrument, the all-nitrocellulose finish on the CJ-45 T is ultra-thin, providing an unmatched response and resonance when paired with its lightweight T-Series build and materials. Flat Back Design: The CJ-45 T incorporates an exceptionally flat back design compared to other Collings flat tops, a feature which enhances the instrument’s direct, forward tone, pronounced midrange, and strongly vintage-inspired voice. Neck Profile: With its full C-shape, the new neck profile on our CJ-45 T is substantial in terms of both feel and its contributions to tone and response while also benefiting from the adjustable flat bar design and construction techniques of our most recent Traditional Series necks. Rosewood Fingerboard: Hand-selected for tonal warmth and vintage vibe, every CJ-45 T features an Indian rosewood fingerboard with elegantly tapered mother-of-pearl long dot inlays. Rosette: Unique to the CJ-45 T are its fully exposed rosette and shortened, 19-fret fingerboard, an aesthetic which makes it instantly recognizable among the Collings lineup. -

Well cared for and well loved one-owner Froggy Bottom H12. I ordered this guitar for the original owner 10 years ago. These are some of my all time favorite guitars. This one has opened up beautifully. In near mint condition, two tiny dimples in the top and one in the back. The H12 is the most popular guitar that Froggy Bottom builds, and one strum will tell you why. Sparkling trebles, a nice, round low end and terrific projection. Short 25 scale. Responsive to the slightest touch but ready to bark. This lefty Deluxe features a red Adirondack spruce top over beautifully figured East Indian rosewood back and sides. Highly figured maple binding, slotted headstock, Gabon ebony fingerboard, water buffalo bone nut and saddle and nickel Waverly tuners. The grand concert size body is comfortable and resonant. They just don’t get any better. Take it from an H12 owner on his introduction to the guitar: “I played the first chord, and it was like … OH MY GOD … you could feel the thing in your chest! It was such a difference – I couldn’t – it was beyond description. And I’ve been hooked ever since.” With original AVS hardshell case.

Here’s a the latest addition to George Lowden's Original Series of guitars ... an S-34 in koa with a sitka spruce top. George's thoughts on this guitar: “Koa is a comparatively lighter tonewood which means, if you like to play gently, it’s an excellent choice. It gives you the ability to express yourself and have lots of different nuances of tone. Just touch the guitar and it will respond.” The guitar is crisp sounding, and as light as a feather. The S is the smallest sized Lowden, aside from the Wee, with the characteristic overtones, brilliant highs and endless sustain that Lowdens are known for. Beautiful guitar. Lifetime warranty and Hiscox case. Condition: New; Top: Sitka spruce; Back and sides: Koa; Neck: 5-piece mahogany and rosewood with ebony fingerboard; Nut: 1.75; Width: 14 3/4; Depth: 4 1/8; Scale: 24.75; Binding: Sycamore; Purfling: Mahogany, sycamore, rosewood; Rosette: Rosewood, sycamore, walnut, mahogany -
Here's a beautiful Rick Turner Guitars Renaissance RS6 steel string electric acoustic. I ordered this one with a 1 3/4 nut and satin finish. The guitar has some nicely figured mahogany back and sides, terrific top, mahogany neck and an ipe (Brazilian walnut) fingerboard. The back of the headstock is signed by the late legendary Rick Turner himself. If you play acoustic guitar live, you're familiar with the challenges of getting a natural acoustic tone amplified to stage volumes without being plagued by feedback. All the mics, preamps and EQs in the world are rarely up to dealing with a loud monitor pointing at your soundhole. The thinline RS6 is built like an acoustic but has a mahogany center block to resist feedback. A Turner Timberline bridge pickup feeds a full-spectrum signal to an 18-volt D-TAR preamp with graduated volume and tone controls. The preamp runs off two AA batteries, easily accessible via the back panel. I have tested this at loud monitor volumes and it works great straight into the board. Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac) loves his Turner guitars and plays a Renaissance live. These guitars also sound great through a conventional guitar amp.
With locking tuners, Access padded case and Timberline electronics.
