1994 Traugott R Rare Highly Flamed Koa/German
Here's an incredible Traugott Model R forged from very tightly flamed Koa, the kind that is very rare indeed. And who better to perform with this instrument than famed Celtic fingerstylist William Coulter? Coulter owned this guitar for several years before it ended up in our hands. The Koa has a deep, rich color and perfectly symmetrical figure on the back. The top is one of the silkiest pieces of German Spruce we've seen. It's full of medullary rays or silking, which is an attribute only the very best tops possess. Jeff adorned this beauty with a top border and rosette of select blue Paua Abalone and comes complete with a Calton Deluxe Flight Case. The tone is spellbinding, it absorbs the player and inspires at every fret. It's very clear why Jeff Traugott is considered one of the very best makers in the world.

1961 Ramirez MT Cypress/Spruce
Here we have a fantastic Flamenco guitar from the legendary Ramirez guitars. Built from the classic Flamenco combination of Cypress and Spruce, this little baby is as light as a feather. Mariano Tezanos was the particular builder in the Ramirez shop responsible for the construction of this guitar. Tezanos was famed as being one of the best builder to ever work for Ramirez, and none other than Andre Segovia himself prized Tezanos for his work. The voice on this guitar is quick and powerful, with a great attack and airiness to the tone, a perfect Flamenco sound. Although it has sustained some damage in its life, it has been expertly repaired, and we feel that it only adds character and tone to this wonderful little Flamenco.

2009 Froggy Bottom SJ Mahogany/Adirondack (Red)
Here we have a Froggy Bottom SJ in a stunning sunburst Adirondack Spruce top, and Mahogany back and sides. It is hard to describe the magic of a slope shoulder Dreadnought, they are more intimate, maybe even more delicate sounding than the standard Dread. Which isn’t to say that the slope shoulder isn’t fit for a bluegrass lineup, it has all the power for that, the slope just seems to handle fingerpicking and delicate passages better than its cousin. Froggy hit another home run with this one, they may have even knocked it out of the park. This SJ will blow you away with its sweet but powerful tone. Every string sings like a bird, full and clear. This will make a perfect “go to” guitar.

S. S. Stewart Universal Favorite Waverly Fiberskyn
The tone of a good open back Clawhammer banjo can be quite enchanting, transporting the listener to a simpler time back to the mountains, maybe on Grandpas porch. This S.S. Stewart Banjo is just on of those kinds of instrument, built in the 1890’s, it could have very well been played on a porch in the mountains. This banjo has a great open and plunky sound perfect for clawhammer style. Lawrence Brown, a master Lute maker, made the new neck on this Banjo, and is excellent. It is easy to play and even easier on the eyes with its beautifully engraved inlays.

1943 Gibson J-45 Banner Mahogany/Adirondack (Red)
There is something truly magical about playing a great old Gibson, this 1943 J-45 is like a time machine. It takes you on a trip with every one of its dings and scuffs, a dark bar in New York with this ding perhaps? or a lush medow with this one? who knows how many heartbreaks and happy moments this guitar has seen. The war time Gibson tone is in full standing here, deep dark woody basses align with quick and snappy trebles. This guitar has had a life and it really shows up in the wonderfully mature voice, what a fantastic instrument.
