Everett Celona Indian/Redwood Wedge Body/Soundport
Kent Everett is a master Luthier who makes only 6-8 guitars each year. Every guitar he makes is an individual work of art with unique appointments. The Celona model is where Kent allows himself to stretch out and work with new ideas and designs. This guitar features a wedge shaped body that tapers from the treble side to the bass side so it’s slimmer near your chest as you play. This is an ergonomic feature that adds comfort but it also has a sonic effect which helps control the bass keeping a larger guitar very balanced. There is also a side soundport and a cutaway neck heel for easy access to the higher frets. The guitar has lovely adornments as well such as the dimensional headplate and backplate and the carved bridge. There is also a B-Band pickup installed. We don’t see many used Everett guitars and this is the first wedge body.

New Maingard GC Brazilian/European
We custom ordered this guitar from Marc and we requested a set of his finest Brazilian along with a gorgeous ‘Wave’ rosette to go with the cutaway and front and back ergonomic bevels. In addition Marc added beautiful green purfling lines over the entire guitar, body, neck and headstock. It’s a stunning detail that is subtle but adds just the right touch of color to the instrument. Marc’s tone has been delighting our customers who have found them extremely versatile. They offer the ability to go from beautiful to powerful and everything in between.

2006 Maingard GC Brazilian/European
What a treat to receive this amazing Maingard guitar for our preowned selection.

A quick scroll down the page will make that abundantly clear. Just look at the exciting Brazilian Rosewood set, the armrest and ribrest bevels, the elegant cutaway and the beautiful blue and tan ndebele style rosette. All of this beauty is wrapped around a powerhouse guitar packs a punch in the form of big, resounding bass notes and clear sparkling trebles. This is a great example of why Maingard Guitars are so highly sought after.

1931-1932 Gibson L-00 12 Fret Mahogany/Spruce
Attention Blues and Rag players! This one is for you. There is just nothing quite like the sound and feel of a 30s Gibson for playing Blues and Rags. This one appears to be all original and has that ‘real deal’ throaty Gibson growl. It has the expected wear that gives it that vintage mojo and few repairs that were all done well. If you just have to have the real thing, you owe it to yourself to read on and listen to the clips for this black beauty.

2002 Aaron Green Concert Brazilian/Engelmann
Eliot Fisk calls Aaron Green, ‘one of the most promising young luthiers in the world’. Dennis Koster plays an Aaron Green as his main guitar. Since I met Aaron at Dennis Koster’s studio some years ago I’ve been a big fan of his work as well. His execution is so clean and the tone is magical. This particular guitar is so warm and rich but clear and responsive. It has it all.

New Applegate SJ Blackwood/Euro. Spruce Healdsburg Model
We saw this amazing instrument at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival and immediately ask Brian if we could have it. African Blackwood is becoming extremely popular and for good reason. The tone is deep and warm with a smooth midrange. It’s unique and haunting and offers a beautiful color to add to any arsenal of guitars. Being a show guitar Brian added some wonderful touches including a CNC cut soundport, armrest bevel and extraordinary custom geometric backstrip and back of the neck inlay. The pictures tell it better than we can so please scroll down and enjoy this Applegate SJ.

New Charis SJ-V Indian/Engelmann
The Healdsburg Guitar Festival is the premiere trade show for the builders of high-end custom guitars. For this festival builders go all out to build eye (and ear) catching instruments that show their finest work. That is definitely true of the two Charis guitars we brought back from Healdsburg. This one is an SJ with Bill’s new soft, venetian cutaway, something we’ve been suggesting for years along with both an armrest and a ribrest. It is adorned with beautiful laser-cut marquetry work on the fingerboard, rosette, headstock and the stunning backstrip. All of the inlay material is wood and it is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Such beautiful detail and it is equalled by the glorious tone Bill Wise achieves from his Charis Acoustic Guitars. This one is special, straight from Healdsburg.

New Charis SJ-F Brazilian/German
The Healdsburg Guitar Festival is the premiere trade show for the builders of high-end custom guitars. For this festival builders go all out to build eye (and ear) catching instruments that show their finest work. That is definitely true of the two Charis guitars we brought back from Healdsburg. This one is an SJ with very dramatic Brazilian Rosewood as the centerpiece along with a totally new Rosette design and laser cut fingerboard inlay. The tone is big and bold with classic richness from the proven combination of Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce. Oh, and there is also an armrest and ribrest bevel, this one has it all…

1994 Froggy Bottom H-14 Deluxe Koa/Engelmann
From the Froggy Bottom website: “The Model H14 is built with a scale length 1/4” longer than its nearest relative (H12). The resulting increase in tension, coupled with its slightly shorter body and higher bridge placement, produces a guitar that is excellent for everything from ragtime and country blues to articulate flat-picking and strumming.” To summarize in our words this guitar is versatile with a capital ‘V’. The combination of gorgeous Koa and Engelmann spruce really works on this Froggy Bottom guitar. You can hit it hard or lay back and play sweetly it’s happy to go in either direction.

2006 Bashkin OM Placencia Fanfret Nara/Sitka
Here is an amazing Bashkin with many upgrades and unusual figured Nara wood. Nara is Filipino Mahogany and it sounds as good as it looks. The list of options here is a long one, multiscale, cutaway, bound soundport, Nara, Amber markers, Amber pins, Koa buttoned Waverlys, Calton case and a K&K pickup. The really cool thing is that together these specs create a very subtle, practical guitar that really works. We love multiscale guitars, you won’t even feel the fan but the tension is so much more balanced across the strings. The Sitka top here is also very special and full of silky medullary rays and French Polished for ultimate tone.

2006 Martin OM-28 GE Brazilian/Adirondack Red
The Golden Era guitars from Martin are very well know by now to most of you. The reason is that the series is unique and really captures the essence of some of the older Martins that have written guitar history. This OM for instance has the bold Adirondack voice with great sparkle and clarity and headroom to spare. You simply cannot overdrive this guitar. The Brazilian Rosewood is dark chocolate and has lovely green hues in the sunlight. This one is like new and ready to be played.

1960-1961 Gibson Byrdland Maple/Spruce
This rare Byrdland comes from 1960, the first year they introduced the pointed Florentine cutaway. This blonde beauty is in great condition, the setup on this guitar is perfect and it plays like a dream. The Byrdland designs features a short 23.5″ scale which makes for easy reach and joyful bending. This one has that distinctive Byrdland sound and Al and I both love it.
1966 Martin 00-21 Brazilian/Sitka
Brazilian Rosewood Martin guitars have been appreciating as fast as anything in the guitar market and it won’t be long before the small body guitars catch up. Right now they are still a great value as this beauty proves. This 00 features a gorgeous set of Brazilian and has been maintained well. The neck has been set perfectly and the few cracks expertly repaired. It has all the small body charm and plenty of power as well. Playability is great and it sure is a joy to hold this little terror. A great part of Martin history this is one for both the player and the collector in you.

1950 Gibson Super 300 Flame Maple/Maple
Just over 200 Super 300s were ever made by Gibson Guitars. The Super 300 is essentially identical to a super 400 but a bit more understated with regard to trim. This beauty from 1950 is in excellent condition and the tone is magical. You can just imagine some of the juke joints it’s been in. The tobacco burst is warm and inviting and the maple back has nice figure as does the tiger striped neck. The neck finish is worn to that perfect feel of a vintage guitar with just enough miles on it. Outstanding…
2006 Bashkin Bellazza GC Ebony/Italian
We’ve known Michael for a number of years and spent quite a bit of time with him this past summer at several events. He’s a genuine person and his love of his craft is very evident. We are happy to have for you this beautiful Ebony GC. Two key features are the Adirondack top and the French Polish finish. The Adirondack top, with it’s even grain, offers plentiful power and headroom while the French Polish finish allows every ounce of tone to come through. The Ebony body makes for a smooth midrange and wonderful sustain. To top it off Michael appointed this one with figured Koa and a gorgeous rosette.
