Add to CompareStriebel RS Cutaway Cocobolo/German
We custom ordered this guitar with Cocobolo Rosewood, German Spruce, a cutaway and a slotted headstock. We are thrilled with the results, it’s not only striking but the tone is warm, rich and punchy. This one is very versatile and easily switches gears from soft and sweet to strong and clear. The Cocobolo is a wonderful set with perfect grain and gorgeous brown color. Being a German builder the German Spruce is of course perfect.

A beautifully preserved piece of history sits in your lap, and what else could you want? It’s one of the only of its kind, bedecked with pearl and brass and rosewood, Figured Maple back and sides, Spruce top—the 1945 Stromberg Ultra Deluxe. Grover sta-tite tuners, original pickguard, and wrapped up in the original velvet-lined hardshell case, this is an all-original example of one of the early-to-mid 1900s archtop builders work at the peak of their powers.
Elmer Stromberg worked to keep his instruments in the hands of players during the Great Depression fo the 1930s, and during this time evolved his archtops to better compete with a full orchestra by widening the lower bout to a full 17 3/8”, enhancing the volume of this Ultra Deluxe and lending an extra cutting ‘oomph’ to the trebles. The slim neck and narrow nut (1 11/16”) make for a deft left-hand work, and the setup is in a tasty sweet spot for both solos and rhythm.
It is an inspiration just to see an all-original vintage instrument of such rare provenance in person, but this Stromberg follows up that with the seasoned voice of a well-preserved and eminently playable piece of history.Other keywords: jazz, arch top, flatpick, jazz guitar, birdseye maple, mop, f holes, f-holes

A modern rendition of a vintage classic. We’re stoked to have this powerhouse D-18 from Japanese luthier Hiroshi Suda—Honduran Mahogany with Adirondack Spruce, 18-style appointments, and an immediately vibrant and expressive voice. What’s not to like? The neck profile is just a touch fuller than average, which totally fits the vintage inspiration, and the overall build weight is a svelte 4lbs 3oz, making this 2016 Suda D-18 exceedingly comfortable to play. It’s incredible to hear how wide open the Adi top sounds after just a few years, and we can only imagine the heights its bound for in the future.

Add to Compare2016 Suhr Modern NAMM Collection, Korina/Cocobolo
It should come as no surprise that the team at Suhr Guitars went all out for the 2016 NAMM Collection. This Korina-bodied, Cocobolo-topped Modern model is an absolute beast! From the neck to the bridge, you’ve got a Thornbucker, V70, and Thornbucker Plus, five-way switch and gold hardware, and a Gotoh tremolo bridge. The Korina neck features their Modern Elliptical profile to boot, which feels excellent in hand.

T.J. Thompson is revered for his repair and restoration work–and then there are his actual builds. A more comprehensive grasp of what a flattop can and should sound like, we haven’t seen. This 2008 OM-30 is nothing short of seraphic. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with Adirondack Spruce top, 30-style appointments, V neck profile plus bar frets, even banjo-style tuners at the headstock.

A piece of heaven from one of American lutherie’s greatest: this 2013 00-30 from T.J. Thompson. Brick-red Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with Adirondack Spruce top, a gorgeous tobacco sunburst, colorful marquetry trim and 12-fret neck; bespoke “flag” bridge and banjo tuners–a work of functional art. In true T.J. fashion, the unbound fingerboard utlizes bar frets, and the overall weight comes in right at four pounds. The finish has been removed from the back of the neck for an instantly familiar feel. This T.J. Thompson 00-30 is an heirloom instrument, the centerpiece of your lifetime collection.

A piece 45 heaven from the master himself. Here we’ve landed a lifetime OM from Mr. T.J. Thompson, dressed to the nines with 45-style treatment throughout and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides plus Adirondack Spruce top. What more need be said? T.J. is centered in the traditional Martin style of building, with this 2007 OM-45 playing and feeling right at home alongside the prewar originals. Bar frets, V neck, gorgeous dark Abalone throughout–and a touch of modernity with a Schertler pickup system. With an upgraded Karura flight case, this T.J. Thompson OM-45 is safe and sound when not in use. But let’s be honest: this is one guitar that’s begging to be played, and who are we to say no?

Add to Compare2004 Tacchi Coclea Thucea Indian/Red Cedar/Spruce/Red Cedar, 3-piece
This Tacchi Coclea Thucia is the sort of instrument that inspired the concept behind Dream Guitars. It is an instrument that stands far above the many instruments in the world and offers something very unique and special. Tacchi developed the 3 piece top combining Cedar outer boards with Alpine Spruce in the center after hearing a Torres model with softer spruce surrounding stiffer spruce. This design makes for trebles that ‘ring like a bell’ says Tacchi and we can confirm that. Rarely have we heard such clear and present treble strings on a nylon guitar. The purity of note is outstanding. Rodgers Tuners and an Accord Case compliment this worldclass Tacchi guitar.

Add to Compare2021 Taran Tirga Beag, African Blackwood/Italian Spruce
2021 Taran Tirga Beag, made for our very own Dustin Furlow for the Young Player Bursary. This beast of an instrument features back and sides of African Blackwood, fully kerfed side construction in Western Red Cedar with Bocote veneers, and Taran Guitars’ signature compression back brace. The top is crafted from Italian Spruce, with a rosette of hot sand-faded Scottish Burr Elm accented by rippled Sycamore detailing, all bound in African Blackwood.
The neck is made of Wenge, shaped with an equal taper Medium C profile. It features EVO frets and Gotoh tuners. Notably, this guitar boasts both a soundport and an arm bevel made from hot sand-faded Scottish Elm.
This instrument is equipped with a Modified K&K Trinity pickup system. The microphone is a DPA 4061 Low-Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone, running off the same phantom specs as the original K&K Trinity, ensuring excellent amplification for both studio and live performances.
This guitar is a shining example of what Rory and the team are crafting in Scotland. It possesses a mystique and power that are, quite frankly, hard to put into words—reminiscent of some magical artifact from an Arthurian tale. But don’t take our word for it—let the demo speak for itself. Cheers!

This 2018 Taran Tirga Mhor features European Spruce on top and a very new-to-us back and sides made of Swartsa Wamara, which is as gorgeous visually as it is sonically. The Tirga Mhor is Rory Dowling’s take on a 000 design. Named after a Scottish mountain, it has 12 frets to the body with Evo frets and semi-hemispherical ends. It’s fitted with a multiscale setup of 26″ on the bass and 25.5″ on the treble extremities. A Wenge neck with a perfectly soft V profile and a sound port offer an exquisite view inside the guitar, showcasing Taran Guitars’ special construction. This guitar is also stage or studio-ready with a K&K Trinity Pickup system, allowing you to recreate the magic you hear in your lap on stage or in recordings. This guitar is so much fun and so refreshing. We have become huge fans of Taran Guitars here at the shop, and we can’t wait to see even more from them.

Add to Compare2001 Taylor “Living Jewels,” Maple/Spruce Like Taylor Swift’s
From 2001, we have a very rare and now iconic Taylor “Gallery Series Living Jewels” Dreadnought. It features Big Leaf Quilted Maple for the back and sides, and Bearclaw Spruce on top. Aside from its obvious beauty, this guitar is unique—#97 of 100. Not to be coy (pun intended), it’s also famous. This model has been used occasionally by the one and only Taylor Swift. The Gallery Series inlay art is based on the works of Pete Davies Jr., who worked at Taylor Guitars with his parents. The series had two other variations: one with sea turtles and another with Gray Whales. This particular Koi variety is the model Miss Swift is renowned for rocking out with. This guitar is ornate and intricately detailed. The chatoyant qualities of the timbers take on new meaning, considering the Koi fish inhabiting the fingerboard and rosette.
