From 2017 and ready for more action! Here’s a beautful Preston Thompson that’s decked out in premium woods for powerhouse tone. Shipwreck Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with Adirondack Spruce on top plus dark brown, vintage-style sunburst for a sultry look. With herringbone trim and Ivoroid bindings, the dark burst really pops, and this one’s in splendid shape to boot. The nut measures in at 1 23/32” for a comfortable lefthand experience.

2001 Kim Walker 000-42, Cocobolo/Adirondack Spruce
Kim builds ‘em right. We just landed a 2001 000 decked out in 42-style Abalone appointments, Cocobolo, and Adirondack Spruce that’s a 100% dream machine. Fingertips or flatpicks don’t matter; this gorgeous Kim Walker fills the room with excellent clarity and note separation, not to mention sustain. The Mahogany neck is finished in half satin, and the left hand glides oh so easily. 12 frets to the body, combined with 25.4 long scale, makes for a nice balance between warmth and attack, and we love just how easily the Walker plays. For safety’s sake, we’re selling this powerhouse with a form-fitting Calton flight case.

2021 Traugott R, African Blackwood/German Spruce
This guitar is magic, simply put. This 2021 Traugott Model R has everything one would expect from the workshop of Jeff Traugott, with one curveball. The back and sides are African Blackwood, which is in and of itself a rare enough tonewood, but this is the first time we have seen it on one of Jeff’s guitars. Which makes for one interesting instrument. Not only do you have the power and clarity the Model R is known for, but now there is an extra dimension of low mids that are unique to African Blackwood. The characteristics of the German Spruce are not lost in the mix ever. It is quite like a piano in its sonority, and quality. While we are in the business of providing dream guitars to the world. This is unmistakably a “guitar of your dreams.”

2012 EJ Henderson OM-18, White Oak/Carpathian Spruce
Jayne Henderson is a good friend of the shop, we love her work. The apple didn’t fall too far from the tree. Speaking of trees, this guitar used to be a White Oak, or well at least the back and sides of the instrument were. This is an uncommon tonewood, but in the right hands it is every bit as incredible as any of your standard “dry” tonewoods. This OM-18 is dressed in Carpathian Spruce on top– Donning the name “DOC” on the heel cap is an homage to the late great Doc Watson. Need we say more? If you’re looking to get into an incredible and unique OM that can do practically everything? Look no further.

Brand New Blue Arch Big Bang Archtop, African Padauk/Western Red Cedar
Our own Paul Heumiller said, “Dreaming on a guitar like this is easy.” What more is there to say? Gorgeous aesthetic, powerful sound and a fit and finish that screams pristine. This instrument is powerful and inspirational. Dressed in African Padauk and Western Red Cedar, this ain’t your grandpa’s archtop, but it sounds like it would have been. It’s no coincidence this instrument has been dubbed “Big Bang.” That is as much of a descriptor as it is a title, both unplugged and amplified it’s resonance is prominent. From the carbon fiber bracing, to its custom humbucker this guitar seems to have neverending features that draw the player in. Listen and see for yourself.
