2010 Collings D2H MRA, Madagascar Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
This Collings D2H MRA comes to us from 2010 with some good music already under its belt, and a hungry eye for more tunes to consume. Madagascar Rosewood body with Adirondack Spruce top and herringbone trim, Ivoroid bindings, Waverly tuners, and a hard V neck profile that will feel right at home for many a bluegrasser. Additionally, we’ve got a K&K Pure Mini pickup installed that’s ready to go, and all of this comes wrapped up in a Collings TKL case with green interior.

This is why we are called Dream Guitars, because of instruments like this. Here we have a Henderson D-45 in Premium quality Adirondack (Red) Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood, that has been revoiced by the godfather of modern fingerstyle guitar himself Ervin Somogyi. This is an ultimate example of two worlds meeting in the realm of lutherie. This dreadnought maintains its flatpicking, and robust quality all the while preserving that power in the hands of a fingerstyle player. This instrument is truly one of a kind, and an absolute masterpiece at that, for the player and collector alike.

If you are a follower of Wayne Henderson guitars you know that they are all rare, wonderful, and highly sought after. What we have here is the rarest of Hendersons, a D-45 Deluxe Tree Of Life in Brazilian Rosewood and Red Spruce which comes to us from 2016. You are certain to gasp and drool over this one, we certainly have been. Wayne makes precious few of this model of guitar, the sheer amount of time, material and skill that goes into building such a guitar is impressive, and certainly limits the opportunity to make many of them. This is the true collector’s dream guitar! While this guitar certainly has the looks, that isn’t the only trick in its bag. The Henderson tonal pedigree is in full show here, big open basses, barking mids, and smooth trebles. This is the definition of a once in a lifetime guitar, don’t miss out!

We recently lost Michael Keller, and the luthier community feels that loss keenly. So we’re delighted to have this 2014 Dreadnought in the shop to honor his memory and find a new home for it. Eight years old and waking up very nicely, the voice is open and expressive with great note separation. As a result, it’s at home with fingerpicking as well as of course flatpicking. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pair with Adirondack Spruce on top, Abalone trim and snowflakes/diamonds position markers–and Michael upgraded this Dread with a soundport in the upper bout side. This has the effect of giving the player a bit more “me in the monitor,” making it easier to hear your tone when playing with those pesky other musicians in the group. When you want to go electric, the installed Fishman Matrix Natural pickup will take you there.

Few names are so well recognized in popular music as David Gilmour of Pink Floyd fame. In 2021, Martin collaborated with Mr. Gilmour for an exclusive Signature Edition run of 250 guitars. These were soon all snatched up, but we’ve managed to land one, no. 27, here in the shop.
The David Gilmour signature models are the first D-35s ever made with neck, back and sides of Sinker Mahogany, chosen by David for its warm, rich tones and exquisitely beautiful grain. VTS Adirondack Spruce on top to be broken in and wide awake right out of the gate. A bespoke neck shape & fingerboard pattern were crafted to David’s specification for this guitar, while a special headstamp is featured on the reverse of the headstock. Every label was hand-signed by David; look into the soundhole and you’ll find his very hand just below “#27.” Additionally, we have included a customized Elliott capo engraved with the words, “Gilmour D-35,” to make this most exclusive Martin just a little bit more rare.
Ready for the crown jewel of your collection? The 2021 D-35 David Gilmour awaits.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, c.f. martin, martin guitars, 35 style, dreadnaught, 2449909, fingerstyle, 3 piece, signature guitar

A few years back, Martin ran a limited series of Golden Era models that were absolute powerhouses, and have since been followed by the established Authentic line (also great guitars!). Today we’ve got one such model, a D-28GE from 2000 that is accordingly wide awake and singing. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with Adirondack Spruce top, herringbone trim and zigzag backstrip, soft V neck with proper prewar girth, and open back Waverly nickel tuners on a squared off headstock. Slim playing weight under five pounds; forward-shifted and scalloped bracing.

A contemporary iteration of a prewar classic: a David Musselwhite D-28 from 2014 dressed up with Brazilian Rosewood and a shade top finish over Spruce. The dropdead gorgeous Brazilian came from the one and only Mike Longworth of Martin! Such a powerhouse, quick response and it mixes up great across the registers for both chords and leads. A full neck profile feels very solid in hand with a V shape throughout, and we’ve got the classic combo of Waverly tuners and Abalone diamonds and squares to dress up the neck. A tight herringbone trim pattern rings in the shade top, and pairs up perfectly with Ivoroid bindings and a zigzag center strip out back.

Don Musser makes some of our favorite Dreadnoughts, and this latest model dressed in “The Tree”, and Shadetop Colorado Engelmann Spruce does not disappoint.

Take the Preston Thompson team, add Skaggs’ Jake Workman to the mix, stir in Shipwreck Brazilian Rosewood plus Adirondack Spruce, and let rise for several years. The proof is this proud, simultaneously punchy yet smooth, 2017 PKT DBA-JW. Workman spec’d this guitar out with understated 21- and 18-style appointments, all the better to let the premium Shipwreck/Adi combo shine, as well as a K&K Trinity pickup system and EVO frets. This won’t be needing fretwork any time soon. Waking up since 2017, this Dreadnought is expressive and energetic, and really comes to life after a few minutes’ play; it must be alive.
