2004/2005 Henderson D-18 Mahogany/Adirondack
In this guitar, Wayne Henderson paired a stunning mahogany set with an Adirondack Red Spruce top… and out came a CANON! You’ve got to hear the clarity and power on this one — a huge fundamental, perfect balance, punch to spare… this is a flatpicker’s or strummer’s dream. But put the pick down and she’s also extremely warm and responsive for fingerstyle and the 1 3/4 inch nut and wider saddle make it easy to play with fingers as well. Another winner from Rugsby, VA.

This tour includes a performance on Good Morning America and the Today Show both with Carly Simon. This is #2 of our Blackwood Dream Series from master luthier Bill Tippin and it has it all. It starts with premium 2 piece African Blackwood with superb color and grain. Rick Snakewood bindings join the African Blackwood to it’s master grade Adirondack Red Spruce top which brings with it power, clarity and all the headroom you can ask for. Bill also bound the neck and his elegant headstock with Snakewood as well. For those who don’t know Snakewood is extremely valuable and rare. To further accent this stunning instrument Bill added very line Mother Of Pearl Sparkle as the top border, rosette lines, backstrip and tail wedge accents. There is also a first fret flame made from real gem quality Opal border with M.O.P. Sparkle and this is echoed on the bottom of the backstrip as well. Finish touched include a bookmatched Brazilian Rosewood headplate and Gold Waverlys with Black Pearl Buttons. This is as good as it gets and the Bravado body, with it’s SJ size, puts forth a big, beautiful, balanced tone and the African Blackwood and Adirondack work perfectly together to create a lush but strong voice.

Myka Dragonfly Deluxe Australian Lacewood/Aged Sitka
Wait till you see the lacewood back and sides on this baby — so deep, so rich… mesmerizing! This is another wonderful instrument from Myka, and it brings everything to the table — tone, playability, versatility… For a standard configuration (2 humbuckers, a toggle, and tone/volume for each), this guitar makes a lot of different sounds. The top is hand carved and tap tuned and the back is routed out as well, so this guitar really combined archtop qualities with thinline electric tones. Want to distinguish yourself from the crowd? Here’s a great place to start!

Williams Tui Whitebait Kauri/Kauri HIGHEST GRADE KAURI!
Ancient Kauri wood is one of the most rare tonewoods we have and a single log of it was found in 1998 with an intense figuring that resembles a school of Whitebait fish swimming beneath the water. Laurie Williams reserves the handful of sets he has of this Ancient ‘Williams Whitebait’ wood for his finest guitars. There are only a few guitars of this quality in the entire world and this is one of them. The back and sides are simply mesmerizing and the headstock and backplate also feature Whitebait. The top is modern milled Kauri and the entire guitar is bound in Cocobolo Rosewood with very fine lines of Abalone giving it a sophisticated shimmer. Laurie’s current price for a true ‘Williams Whitebait’ is $35,000 and he increases the price $5,000 with each one he makes so these are wonderfully collectible guitars as well as superb playing instruments
1997 Gallagher Steve Kaufman Signature 7 String Brazilian/Engelmann Owned by Steve Kaufman
This baby was built by Don Gallagher in 1997 for uber-picker Steve Kaufman. It’s in fantastic shape and sounds as big as it looks. She’s a beautiful sunburst cutaway made from Brazilian/Engleman, with some really sweet cosmetic touches to set her off. This guitar will reward a player who spends some time mastering her low B string. And the Fishman matrix pickup makes her ready for prime time. Give her a test drive — we’re sure you’ll have as much fun as we have!
1997 Kim Walker 000 Custom Brazilian/Adirondack Red
This is a fine example of Kim Walker’s best work. This is single owner 000 that was custom ordered by a local customer of ours. This Walker guitar is lightly built for a wonderfully vivid response. The slightest touch makes it come alive. The mahogany neck has a very comfortable and soft “V” shape, and the Brazilian sides and back are beautiful and deep with lovely highlights. This guitar is already wonderfully broken in as evident by the way the notes rush out of the guitar, the projection is very strong and balanced. It’s very easy to see why Kim Walker is one of the most highly sought after builders of our time.

1965 Ovation Josh White Fiber composite/Spruce Owned by Legend Josh White
This Ovation guitar belonged to legendary Folk Artist Josh White. In fact it was built to his specifications early in the Ovation company’s history. Josh White was a historic figure in music from the 1920s-60s and was a prominent player in this country’s race struggles. This very guitar is part of that history, for it was with his guitar that he did so much to help us all. We are honored to have this one of a kind instrument with an extremely collectable provenance. Comes complete with a video of Josh White performing on this guitar.
From Wikipedia.com: White grew up in the Jim Crow South. He later became a 1920s and 1930s star of race records, with a prolific output of recordings in genres including Piedmont blues, country blues, gospel, and social protest songs. He was billed in concert as “The Sensation of the South”.[citation needed] In 1931, White moved to New York and within a decade his fame had spread widely, and his repertoire expanded to include urban blues, jazz, Tin Pan Alley, cabaret, folk songs from around the world, and hard-hitting political protest songs. He soon was in demand as an actor on radio, Broadway, and film. However, his pioneering guitar playing never altered or diminished, while some would even argue it broadened with the expansion of his musical repertoire. White unarguably inspired several generations of guitarists with his new and unique stylings and techniques, and is cited as a major musical and social influence by dozens of future stars, including Blind Boy Fuller, Brownie McGhee, Pete Seeger, Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte, Lonnie Donegan, Eartha Kitt, Alexis Korner, Odetta, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, the Kingston Trio, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, Merle Travis, Dave Van Ronk, Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Eric Weissberg, Judy Collins, Mike Bloomfield, Danny Kalb, Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Richie Havens, Don McLean, Roy Harper, Ry Cooder, John Fogerty, and Eva Cassidy.

2005 Rockbridge 000 Brazilian/Cedar Owned By Steve Kaufman
This one comes to us from flatpicker extraordinaire Steve Kaufman, as you can tell by his trademark camp bear logo at the 12th fret. This shortscale Rockbridge 000 evokes an earlier era, one where guitars were a little less pristine and fussy and a little more workmanlike. It’s funky and fun and begging to be played with gusto. The gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood gives it a wonderful resonance, and the cedar rounds it out very nicely. For those who appreciate a more broken-in vibe…
