❌SOLD❌ Martin D-28 Brazilian Rosewood Natural, 1958

On January 21, 2023 /

Introduced in 1931 but not the first appearance of the Dreadnought, the Martin D-28 quickly rose to become one of the standard, benchmark guitars. From 1931 to 1934, the D-28 had a 12-fret neck, soon changed to 14 frets as banjo players migrated to guitar. Here we’re looking at a Martin D-28 built around July of 1958, with all of the standard features of that time. The top is Sitka Spruce; Adirondack had become unavailable by 1942 as war materiel demands led to overharvesting.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-175 Archtop Electric Sunburst, 1964

On January 13, 2023 /

From its launch in 1949 until it was finally discontinued in 2017, the Gibson ES-175 Archtop Electric was the benchmark guitar for working jazz guitarists. The Gibson ES-175 archtop electric was in production for such a long time because it does exactly what many jazz and rock guitarists needed it to do.

❌SOLD❌ Larson Bros Prairie State Steel String Brazilian Natural, 1930s

On January 12, 2023 /

Here’s a real beauty! This is a Larson Bros Prairie State steel string guitar, likely a Model 425 with a OOO sized body, Adirondack Spruce top paired with Brazilian Rosewood for the sides and back. It is likely that the bridge is a replacement – the original would have had engraved, inlaid stars on each of the bridge ‘wings’. The Larson Brothers, Carl and August, began working for the Robert Maurer guitar company in 1893. In 1900, Maurer decided to retire, and the Larsons and investors purchased the company. Over the years, Carl bought out the investors giving the brothers full control.
