Add to Compare2001 Petros FS Walnut/Sitka
Bruce Petros is known for building wonderful fingerstyle instruments with tone to match their beauty. This one is no exception. This is an elegant guitar, with a subtle blend of woods that give it understated air. It’s been played enough to thoroughly open up and it now puts forth a monstrous tone that vibrates every inch of the instrument. The voice is woody with nice overtones, singing trebles over powerful, immediate bass notes. FS is for fingerstyle….

Add to Compare2004 Phoenix Deluxe Mando Figured Maple/Adirondack
Here we have a mint condition 2004 Phoenix Mandolins Deluxe Model. Insanely Figured Maple and Adirondack Spruce, strung with medium Thomastik strings for a gorgeous sound with superb playability. Rolfe Gerhardt hand makes these versatile Mandolins for players who want the best. You won’t believe the great feel these have!
From the Phoenix website: “The Deluxe Model was created as the result of requests by professional musicians who want a medium-string mandolin that would excel at all kinds of music but was styled with the clean, elegant appearance of the Neoclassical, and…would include a built-in pickup. To distinguish it from the Neoclassical: the Deluxe is colored with a lightly-sunburst, warm, violin dark-brown under the hybrid varnish; the Grover tuners are gold with custom black parts and buttons; and the fingerboard features the trademarked abalone vine created for the Unicorn Master Models of the 1970s and included on the “Pickin'” fingerboard poster.”

Add to CompareNew Plazuelo Bouchet Indian/Spruce
Jose Marin Plazuelo has shared a shop space with his uncle, Antonio Marin Montero, since he began building guitars in his youth. Between the two of them, they have produced a number of astoundingly responsive and resonant classicals, and this Bouchet model with Indian Rosewood back and sides and a Spruce top is a fine example of Plazuelo’s mastery of the craft, even compared to his uncle’s own masterworks.The voice is warm and sweet, with a delicate responsiveness that plays beautifully in adagio but doesn’t top out easily in crescendo. Instead, the Bouchet projects fiercely, with great sustain. Set up like silk, the neck is effortless to fret, and the lightweight build is exceedingly comfortable to play.With an easy muscularity and playful expressiveness, this is a powerful example of traditional classical guitar construction at its finest.

Slick playability with a fingerpicking setup, Belize Mahogany neck (and Belize Rosewood fretboard with some dramatic figure); and an über cool mokume gane tailpiece made up of 40 layers of Brass, Bronze, and Copper. There’s enough going on here to keep you coming back for more for years to come. Larry only builds a few a year, so snag it while you can!

This is the last Pogreba Resonator we’ll be getting from Larry Pogreba. He’s no longer going to make his wonderful Aluminum body creations that have been used by Bonnie Raitt, David Lindley and so many others. This cool instrument is anodized Gold and features a solid Brazilian Rosewood neck, the only one we’ve ever seen from Larry. The cone cover is a ’58 Oldsmobile hubcap. The tone is unique, full of mids with a rich reverb quality that is wonderful. Pogreba resos offer a ‘wet’ sound as compared to the drier National sound. Fingerstyle or slide this one does it all and with it’s own flair.
