1929-1933 Gibson Nick Lucas Special, Brazilian Rosewood/Spruce
Rare is an understatement when it comes to this extraordinary Gibson Nick Lucas, crafted sometime between 1929 and 1933. Featuring Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides, this guitar is a true gem from Gibson’s golden era.
Adding to its story, based on our research it appears to have been retopped by Gibson in the 1960s. This meticulous work not only explains the pristine condition of the finish but also gives insight into subtle details like the sunburst style on the top, the differences in binding between the top and back, and the laminated bridge plate—features that were not typical of Gibson’s 1930s build practices.
At its core, this is a prewar Nick Lucas Special—a rare and iconic model—with the coveted combination of Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, a 12-fret neck, and an ornate headstock inlay. To date, only a handful of Brazilian Rosewood Nick Lucas models with 12-fret necks have ever surfaced, making this one of the rarest examples of an already legendary instrument we’ve ever seen.
This Gibson Nick Lucas combines historical significance with undeniable beauty and tonal prowess. A collector’s centerpiece with a unique voice to match.Other keywords/misspellings:Luthier, lutherie, vintage, heirloom,

2022 Halland 00-H, Brazilian Rosewood/Swiss Moonspruce
We’d happily lose track of time with this 2022 00-H from Gage Halland any day. Not only does Gage manage to coax great projection and headroom out of a petite package, he manages to do so without compromising the warmth and treble presence where the 00 body already shines. The result is a full, comprehensive, engrossing voice. The use of Brazilian Rosewood (straight-grained and dark) and Swiss Moonspruce on top, of course, helps, but boy you could play out of tune on this 00-H and it’d still sound good. The 25.4″ scale length helps maintain a crispness and punch, as well as good string feel for the left hand. 12 frets to the body; gold EVO frets for longevity; and Gotoh 510 tuners at the headstock complete the package, wrapped up safe and sound in a custom Hoffee flight case.

All-Koa 2005 000 from the one and only Wayne Henderson—a true rarity. This 12-fret beauty features herringbone trim, abalone around the rosette, and dot inlays on the fingerboard.
It’s not often we see an all-hardwood build from Wayne, but after spending time with this one, we wish it happened more often. This guitar is full of personality—rich in character, big on volume, and crystal clear across the register. Hands down, one of the most diverse-sounding 000s we’ve had through the shop.

1990’s Wayne Henderson 11″ Open Back Banjo #8
Now here’s something you don’t see every day—a one-off, truly special open-back banjo from the legendary Wayne Henderson. Built with classic old-time sensibilities: Fiberskin head, Maple rim, Walnut neck, planetary tuners, fifth string capo and rolled brass tonering. The neck has a slim, fast profile, and the tone is pure vintage clawhammer gold. For the connoisseur of old-time music and the admirer of Wayne’s masterful craft alike, this is a rare and wonderful opportunity.
*Upon discussing with Wayne, we believe this banjo is like from 1993-1994.

1975 Henderson Banjo #5
We’re already very familiar with Wayne Henderson’s flattops—and we love them dearly. We’ve been fortunate enough to have seen a great number pass through our hands, but until today we’ve never seen what Wayne can do with a Bluegrass Banjo. This Mastertone-inspired wonder was built all the way back in 1975 with gold etched hardware, Maple resonator, and tight flamed Maple neck. This is #5 of only 19 banjos that Wayne has built to date, each unique, and this is one of only two with “Henderson” inlaid at the headstock. Long scale setup at 27” and 1 3/16” nut; a hefty 10lbs 13oz; broken in and opened up tone.

2021 Henderson 000-42, Brazilian Rosewood/Appalachian Spruce
A premium example of Wayne Henderson’s handiwork, our 2021 000-42 with Brazilian Rosewood and Red Spruce. Gorgeously executed Abalone 42-style trim along the top and fingerboard extension; Grained Ivoroid bindings to transition from pale Appalachian Spruce on top to chocolate-dark (and -rich) Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. Snowflakes, diamonds, and squares along the fingerboard. The neck is slender and fast in hand, and an overall light build weight under four pounds puts this guitar like so many feathers in your hands. The voice is correspondingly energetic and clear.
