Bourgeois 20th Anniversary

Nut width: 1 11/16ths   Scale length: 25.5

Number 20 of 20 of the 20th anniversary guitars built by Dana Bourgeois. It has been coined as the Tuxedo guitar because of its beauty. Flamed Brazilian with an outrageous bear clawed sitka top. Mahogany neck with a mother of pearl fingerboard with Fleur d Leis abalone inlays. The guitar is in excellent condition with the original case. Tone for years from this one.

Eastman AR-905

Nut width: 1 3/4ers   Scale length: 25.5

Simply put one of the nicest archtop guitars available today. Excellent attention to detail with wonderfully matched wood. Tone from the Kent Armstrong single floater is smooth and consistent. It is hard to find a better guitar at this price and the natural colored ones are fewer and further between.

Santa Cruz Arlen Roth

Nut width: 1 3/4s   Scale length: 25.375

Have you heard Arlen Roth's stunning guitar work? Sure you have! Probably several hundred times as his discography includes contributions with many of the coolest guitar players you can think of.

Arlen's Debut album won the Montreaux Critics Choice Award. He's the coach behind Ralph Machio in Crossroads and his current work with Levon Helm covers an impressive spectrum of styles.

Versatility was Arlen's top requirement in a signature model; an instrument that would be exemplary for fingerstyle or flatpicked lead work, jazz phrasings or a classic repertoire. It was not much of a stretch to choose the adaptability of the trusty OM as the foundation for this aesthetic delight. The vintage Sitka Spruce soundboard on the top grade Indian Rosewood body is treated with an elegant amber sunburst fade. Arlen's signature is tastefully engraved in mother of pearl at the seventeenth fret. This hot rod instrument is voiced for an even balance with a slight predominance in bass volume.

You can fearlessly tread anywhere with this one.

Blanchard Guitars Bristlecone

Nut width: 1 3/4   Scale length: 25.5

We are so fortunate to have another of Marks guitars here. This guitar will defy all who say that Mahogany can't have a nice fat bottom end. The balance and sustain on this one is amazing. Built with the player in mind Mark has it fitted with a K&K pick up. Manzer wedge style body add comfort and playability. This will not last long so call now.

Collings C-10 Deluxe

Nut width: 1 3/4'   Scale length: 25.5

The C-10 with the cut away is a very comfortable guitar to play and play. Tonally it surprise you with the depth it has for a guitar this size. It really sounds more like an OM but with a tighter overall sound. Very hard to find these days.

DeJonge Chelsa

Nut width: 1 3/4s   Scale length: 25.5

Sergei DeJonge has been building guitars for many years and we are proud to be able to present his work here. This guitar is a stunning paring of Brazilian with bear clawed sitka and sounds absolutely wonderful. Crisp clear highs and piano like bass give this guitar a balanced, powerful tone. Sergei's current lead time for a custom guitar is running around 16 months. But you can get one here and now...

John Osthoff Double O

Nut width: 1 13/16ths   Scale length: 25.0

Another beauty from the man from Beckett Mass. John is turning out some of the best guitars on the hand made market today and we are fortunate enough to have this double O. I played this guitar at the Montreal Guitar Festival and knew I had to get it to the store. Nicely matched madrose back and sides topped with the mother of all top woods Adirondack Red Spruce. Great on the attack, reasonably quick decay and balance with a strong fundamental,This guitar is a pure finger stylists dream.

Manzer/Ribbecke Duet

Nut width: 1 3/4   Scale length: 25.5

This is the only one in existence and there are no plans to build another. This guitar is a collaboration between two of the most respected archtop builders, Tom Ribbecke and Linda Manzer. Built about 7 years ago in a class setting this 18 inch full acoustic archtop uses some of the finest woods available. The clear precise tone is very balanced and strong. This is a true collectors guitar but unlike some collectibles this one is completely functional and quite playable. Serious buyers please call for more detailed information and additional behind the scenes pictures of the build.

CF Martin OM Custom

Nut width: 1 13/16ths   Scale length: 25.0

Ordered as a custom fingerstlye machine the extra room at the nut, short scale and shaded Adirondack top all come together to create a wonderfully clear and articulate guitar with a fairly strong mid range. Plays great and sounds awesome. Torch headstock inly and progressive snowflakes on the fingerboard give the guitar a beautiful aesthetic to go along with the great tone.

Collings OM-1A

Nut width: 1 3/4   Scale length: 25.5

Mahogany and Adirondack is one of the very best combination's going and no one does it quite like Collings. Just received this beauty with the 1 3/4 nut width. Take advantage of the availability to get this without the 6 to 8 month wait. We will not be undersold when it comes to Collings.

Collings OM2-HD

Nut width: 1 3/4   Scale length: 25.5

Collings OM2-H this one is the deep body model so there some extra punch. Think of it as an OM style with the power of the dread...Still one of the most popular guitars going and they usually sell out fast and are somewhat difficult to replace quickly.

John How Parlor

Nut width: 1 13/16ths   Scale length: 25.0

Chime and punch is how I would describe this beautiful music box. As one client put it, this guitar just resonates. It does have great sustain and seems to serve those fingerstyle player better then those of the plectrum ilk, but that should go without saying.

David Taylor Parlor

Nut width: 1 3/4s   Scale length: 24.9

Absolutely sweet. That seems to be the consensus with this guitar. Never mind the flawless attention to detail or the beautiful Celtic knot sound port this guitar sounds like a prewar parlor. Not to be confused with the single O this is a true parlor and the tone is something that only those with a discriminating ear for it will appreciate.
