  1. Martin (used, 1968) D-28 Acoustic Guitar

    Martin (used, 1968) D-28 Acoustic Guitar

    Tag No 39-2906 Used
    #239552, unbelievable Brazilian rosewood sides, back and headplate, restored by C F Martin to “near mint plus” condition. A "Time Capsule" instrument. Newer Guardian plush lined hard case.

    This stunning instrument has been brought back to entirely original specification by the factory that made it.  This guitar provides the experience of walking into a store in 1968 and seeing a brand new D-28 hanging up, pointing to it, and saying "I'll take that one."     This is an ideal guitar – displaying one of the most beautiful examples of straight-grained, quarter sawn Brazilian as we have recently laid our eyes upon.   This is made from wood of a level of quality it is doubtful could even be obtained today on any new guitar.  This is Now on Sale.  It WAS $8763 but is now available for less.

    Our SALE Discount Price is $8,243.00 and Our SALE Cash Discount Price is $7,995.00.

    #12375, with black thermoplastic "Hiscox" Road quality hard shell case.

    And now, for something entirely different!   Look at those frets, friends.   No - just look at 'em!    It's not your vision that's going, nope, it's them wiggly frets.  They are like nothing you have ever seen in your entire life.  We were skeptical at first - but then we played the guitar and it sounds "mahvelous!"   It plays effortlessly - it feels just like  guitar should feel.   Come to our showroom and try it!   It will (you'll excuse the expression) truly tickle your fancy.

    Our Discount Price is $5,567.00 and Our Cash Discount Price is $5,400.00.

  3. Gibson (used, 1909) Style U Harp Guitar

    Gibson (used, 1909) Style U Harp Guitar

    Tag No 39-2736 Used
    #9804, in what will become "very good" condition once the work is completed, and right now it has no case.

    The Gibson Harp Guitar is one of the most fanciful looking instruments the Gibson Company (or any other company) ever made.  This guitar commands the immediate attention of everyone in the room, the concert hall or the auditorium.  It is shockingly big, wonderfully loud, notable  in its ability to allow a player to accompany him or herself with bass notes, chords and melody.   It is, in many wonderful ways, the musical instrument that can (finally) make your life complete.  This has been priced at $8764 with a Cash Discount Price of $8500.  HOWEVER: 

    This Gibson harp guitar is presently "on hold" for a purchaser.

  4. Gibson (used, 1924) Lloyd Loar H-5 mandola, signed March 31, 1924

    Gibson (used, 1924) Lloyd Loar H-5 mandola, signed March 31, 1924

    Tag No 39-2695 Used
    #76488, Cremona brown sunburst, Original-No-Virzi, in very good plus condition with form fitting original hard shell case.

    Back in 1921 Gibson Musical Instrument Co. formally hired a gentleman named Lloyd Loar, who had worked for them in other capacities, to act as the company’s “Acoustic Engineer.”  Professor Loar was a musical theorist who had many ideas about sound transmission and distribution.   His theories, brought to practice at the Gibson factory on Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan actually (in our opinion, at least) changed the course of American musical history.  Presently in the workshop, it  is priced at only $105,000 at our Cash Discount Price.

  5. D'Angelico (used, 1947) New Yorker Special full 18 3/8 wide guitar

    D'Angelico (used, 1947) New Yorker Special full 18 3/8 wide guitar

    Tag No 32-3003 Used
    #1778, acoustic archtop, excellent condition, sunburst, non-cutaway, with period perfect brown Lifton hard shell case.

    John D’Angelico, considered the finest independent guitar builder of the 20th Century, or at least for the first two-thirds of that century, made a keystone model that he called “New Yorker.”   This was an elaborately decorated instrument, made of the most select woods and built on a large platform (possibly because John was vertically challenged) measuring approximately 18” in body width. 

     

    Our Discount Price is $36,085.00 and Our Cash Discount Price is $35,000.00.

    #109, High grade Sitka spruce top, East Indian Rosewood sides and back, in "near mint plus" condition, with plush lined hard shell case.

    One person who visited and played this instrument said (he said it out loud) “I have seen some of the ifnest guitars in the world, and this one is as ifnest as a guitar gets.” We had no idea what he was talking about but he left quietly. It is said that Kim Walker of North Stonington is felt by many to be the ultimate builder of Acoustic acoustic (we mean really acoustic) guitars extant.  WAS $22,500 BUT NOW ON SALE FOR:

    #82134, in excellent original condition with original black exterior semi-rectangular hard shell case.

    This is, by anybody’s standards, one of the finest Gibson mandolins produced in the post-Lloyd Loar era.  Even though its original owner possessed what is arguably the finest mandolin one could purchase in 1925, said individual never learned to play and so the instrument remains in solidly excellent condition. The mandolin has never been out of the care and protection of the family to which it has belonged, and, has, ever since the late 1920s, seldom been taken out of its original compartmentalized case – the semi-rectangular hard shell with the red velour  lining.   WAS $102,585 BUT NOW ON SALE FOR: 

    Our SALE Discount Price is $82,475.00 and Our SALE Cash Discount Price is $79,995.00.

    Now on sale - this WAS $250,000.  But not any more.  Now it's affordable.

    Our Price ON SALE is $199,999.00.
