2007 Martin 000-42M Eric Clapton 94 of 250 Madagascar/Carpathian
Here we have a Martin 000-42M Eric Clapton in Carpathian Spruce and Madagascar Rosewood. If you know anything about Eric Clapton, you know he is an incredible guitarist with a discerning ear. He won’t let just anyone make a guitar model with his name on it, it has to be a great company and the good folks at Martin are just the people for the job. This 000-42M was modeled after Eric’s personal 1939 000-42, which in its own right is an incredibly famous guitar, big shoes to fill to be sure. We think they hit the ball out of the park with this one, it has the look and feel of that great pre-war 000 that Eric loves so much. Tonally this 000 is perfect for fingerpicking and performs brilliantly even under a flatpick. It has an ideal blend and balance from bass to mids to trebles, with a sublime voice and style.

1976 Martin D-35 Shaded Top Indian/Sitka
Occasionally a guitar comes along with an exceptionally fine voice and the owner of whatever store it ends up in just has to buy it for him or herself. Such was the case for Danny Brevard, the founder of Acoustic Pro Musician, when this 1976 Martin D-35 Shaded Top came through the door. When we acquired Danny’s store upon his retirement, he decided to finally part ways with his long-time companion and placed it in our care to sell on his behalf. This guitar is the embodiment of what we have come to expect from the pairing of East Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce. It has a balanced voice with great projection that will cut nicely through in a group playing session. It is easy to see why Danny kept this one for himself for so long!
Before we made this guitar available for sale, Stephen Kinnaird, a certified Martin repairman, gave it a beautiful neck reset and full setup. The bridge, saddle, nut, finish and frets are all original. Danny replaced the pickguard (the original is still in the case) with a TorTis® pickguard and also installed upgraded Gotoh Gold open-backed tuners. The guitar is fabulous and the price is right. Original “Blue” Martin case included!

2013 Collings DS3 MhA Varnish Mahogany/Adirondack (Red)
This is one sweet Slope D, we know Collings makes great guitars, but we have to say this one really has a little extra something special going on in the beauty and tone departments. This 2013 DS3 Shaded Top in Adirondack (Red) Spruce and Mahogany is a tone monster.

1991 Arnold Jimmie Rodgers Weymann Special Mahogany/Adirondack (Red)
Here we have a show-stopping kind of guitar that is one part art piece, one part tone maker, one part historic relic, and one part just plain fun. That may be more parts than most other guitars, but we promise you it fills all these categories and more!
The Weyman Jimmy Rodgers Special was originally designed back in 1927 and features Rib-Style Binding that we rarely see on guitars these days. Fast forward a few decades and John Arnold felt inspired to build a few of his own, and once you’ve held and played this one yourself it isn’t hard to see why: John’s gorgeous tribute to this unique instrument has a crisp, dry voice that swings big like the heavy hitters of the Pre-War Era. In John’s words, the Weyman Special is, “between a Martin and a Larson Brothers, tonally.”
Renowned both as a luthier and tonewood supplier, John Arnold picked out a great set of hand split Adirondack (Red) Spruce for this guitar that has Medullar Rays across the entire top, so you know it’s as perfect a cut as you can get. The Mahogany back and sides provide that nice midrange drive that so many players crave, and the setup is just perfect – as low as you can go without buzzing, even playing full force!
This particular guitar has accrued quite a bit of renown over the years and has even been featured by the Fretboard Journal! You can see what they had to say about this unique instrument when they interviewed John about the guitar here on their site: http://www.fretboardjournal.com/features/online/interview-john-arnold-and-weymann-jimmie-rodgers-special-model-guitar

Tonally this Archtop has everything we have come to expect from John, clarity and power with a warmth that just envelops the player. We found that this Virtuoso can handle all the jazz you can throw at it from swing to gypsy this will fit the bill of whatever you need.
