1930 Weissenborn Style 1 Koa/Koa
We have a rare instrument here, a 1930 Weissenborn Style 1. lap Steel in all Koa. The Weissenborn guitar has long been the gold standard in the non resonator slide guitar scene. With that classic woody growl it is hard not to fall in love with the Weissenborn sound, just playing a few licks conjurs up memories of the delta blues or the beautiful beaches of Hawaii. this Weissenborn is in spectacular shape, with only some discrete finish checking and the stray ding or two on the back and sides.

1949 Gibson L-5 Birdseye Maple/Spruce
The Gibson L-5 is the genisis of great archtop guitars, it was the forerunner to the extremely popular Super-400, and inspired many changes in the way archtops were built. The L-5 was one of the first archtops to have a fully carved top and back, producing great tone and clarity. With its slightly smaller body, this L-5 has a bit more brighter tone and is easier to hold than its sibling the Super-400. This 1949 L-5 in Birdseye Maple and Spruce is in great shape with only slight wear on the top and back, incredibly impressive shape for its age. Tonally this guitar is smooth and buttery in the midrange with a bright and bell like treble section, all reined in with a tight and controlled bass strings.

1950 Gibson Super 400 Birdseye Maple/Spruce
Here we have a true legend in the archtop guitar world, a 1950 Gibson Super-400. In 1950 the Super-400 was the high end of the Gibson archtop line, it had the largest body and boasted that beautiful full body sunburst. This is a model that went on to inspire many guitar builders past and present, the look and sound of the archtop would not be where it is today without the Super-400. This particular Super-400 is in incredible shape for its age, with only some minor dinging on the top and back, the action is butter smooth and fast, just like it would have been in 1950. Tonally this guitar is as good as it gets, the large body gives this archtop volume, power and richness where other archtops can tend to fall weak and flat. if you are playing some fast licks or some smooth jazz, this guitar will get you the sound you are looking for with beauty and tone.

1987 Franklin Prairie State Koa/Sitka
Here we have a guitar from one of the shop favorites, Franklin Guitars. This is a1987 Prairie state model in Curly Koa back and side and a Sitka Spruce top. One of the defining features of the Prairie state model is the wide upper and lower bouts, providing the guitar with a large sonorous sound. The Curly Koa used on this guitar is of a super high quality with intense figuring running the entire length of the back and sides. We find that apart from being beautiful, the Koa wood lends a great midrange punch, evening out the tonal response of what could have been a bass heavy guitar. Another great instrument fro the Franklin Guitar company.

2010 Bogdanovich Classical Indian/Red Cedar
Here we have a fantastic Bogdanovich Classical in Red Cedar and East Indian Rosewood. John builds what we think to be some of the best classical guitars out there old or new. His guitars have a quality of tone and voice that really sound full and robust, easily filling up a large room. Another thing that sets a Bogdanovich guitar apart from the rest is the perfection of build quality, they are gorgeous with nary a flawed motif. This particular Bogdanovich has been loved and has a few marks to show for it, but that just means that this thing has been played in well and has a full sonorous voice.

In keeping with the quality of wood, the quality of tone this guitar has is show stopping. It is balanced expertly from bass to trebles, every string is full and lush, each as beautiful as the next.

1979 Ramirez 1a Flamenco Cypress/Cedar
Here we have a 1979 Ramirez Flamenco1a in Cypress back and sides and a Cedar top. This is the quintessential Flamenco guitar made from the classic combination of Cedar and Cypress, the tone is quick, airy and loud, just as a Flamenco guitar should be. Lightness of build is very important for a Flamenco style guitar, this Ramirez is as light as a feather on a warm breeze, you almost have to tie it to your lap! Flamencos have to respond ultra quick with a fairly short decay time in order to sound un-muddied with the deluge of notes being played, the Ramirez does that perfectly. For its age, this guitar is in incredible shape, and the soundboard has aged and opened up wonderfully.

2011 Froggy Bottom F-12-DLX East Indian/Adirondack (Red)
We don’t often see a large body guitar from the Froggy Bottom crew, when we found out this one was coming in to the shop we had a pretty good idea that it was going to be special, and boy were we right. This is the F-12-DLX model in Adirondack (Red) Spruce and East Indian Rosewood. Red Spruce and East Indian Rosewood makes for a powerful combination, this guitar has power and headroom to spare, it will take what you put in to it with ease. That being said, the voice is beautiful and delicate if you want it to be, the bass will wow you with its presence and the mids through trebles join right in with warmth and evenness. Froggy Bottom is a house favorite here, we have yet to see a guitar from them that wasn’t stellar, this one holds up to that ideal and then some.

2010 Martin 0-42 Custom Shop Madagascar/Engelmann
The folks who run the Custom Shop at Martin Guitars know what they’re doing: one look at the Custom 0-42, and you’ll see what we mean. In pairing Madagascar Rosewood back and sides with a European Spruce top, they gave this guitar a sumptuously rich voice with sparkling trebles and a room-filling bottom end. Not satisfied with an instrument which simply sounded great, the Martin Custom Shop then adorned this guitar with their 42-style Abalone appointments, from the torch headstock and snowflake fretboard inlay to the body bindings and rosette, making this guitar a stunning gem you won’t want to shut up in its case for long. Laid into with a thumbpick for Ragtime or Blues and this guitar barks with the best of them; strummed gently for Early American ballads, you’ve a sirensong on your hands. Regardless of your style, the notes which escape the Abalone-bound soundhole will hang in the air for what feels like a lifetime (which is about how long you’ll want to keep playing this 0-42 as well).
