New Jenkins Saddle Pal Madagascar/Redwood
Chris Jenkins and his son Jeremy Jenkins walk to the beat of a different drummer and that’s a good thing. They create unique, funky and fun instruments with tons of vibe and style. This Saddle Pal parlor guitar is a great example. Christina Lavin and Todd Hallawell regularly use theirs and as Todd says “it must have a supercharger in it” because they have such a surprisingly strong voice for a small guitar. This particular Saddle Pal raises the bar with its Madagascar Rosewood and Redwood body, Maple neck and trim and incredible details including the elaborate headplate and abalone border on the fingerboard and top. The top itself is gorgeous Redwood with a Quilted Maple shoulder where the soundports reside, in addition there are two ports on the driver’s side for a full voice to the player. The Jenkins Saddle Pal also makes a great travel guitar as it’s only 38.5″ in length and features an adjustable action that can be modified under tension. Never be without a great guitar again!

New Traphagen Slope D Brazilian/Italian

This Slope D is one we commissioned and we feel Dake’s version of this design offers a fresh and extremely versatile instrument. There is power and headroom to spare for full on flatpicking, but you also get a much richer and fuller tone than traditional dreads. Fingerpickers who like a big voice will love this one as well. The premium Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack top that Dake selected are spectacular.

New PRS InchViolin Inch McCarty Private Stock Flamed ‘Violin’ Maple Pernambuco Neck
During a visit to the PRS factory, Paul Smith laid a handful of great guitars on a table, a vintage Tele, vintage Les Paul and one of these Private Stock ‘Violin Guitars’ of his. He struck the strings of the Tele and LP and then he grinned widely and plucked his Violin Guitar. It rang out twice as loud and sustained forever. The difference he explained is in the woods. First there is a Private Stock Maple top, harvested from where Stradivarius acquired his wood for his famous violins. Then comes a Pernambuco neck which is a very dense wood usually reserved for violin bows. On top of this they added the incredible 59/09 humbuckers and adorned it with Abalone Celtic Knot inlays and a rich violin inspired 28 Black Gold finish. This is the last one we know of available anywhere. It is brand new with full warranty. This is sure to be a classic and collectible PRS guitar.
