❌ SOLD ❌  Gibson J-45 Steel String Sunburst with deArmond Pickup, 1970

The Gibson J-45 made its name as a workhorse guitar not long after its introduction in 1942, and they have been used by working musicians in countless gigs. Sometimes the gig needs more volume, and at some points adding a deArmond soundhole pickup was the way to go.

❌SOLD❌ Bozo Podunavac Bell Western 12 String Guitar, 1989

Today we have a very rare treat, something that I have heard on recordings, perhaps seen on stage, but never up close. This is a Bozo Podunavic Bell Western 12-string, built in the USA.

Bozo guitars, built by Bozo Podunavac in California or later Florida, are not at all common, but were used by a number of highly influential guitarists. The notable player for me was Leo Kottke, whose incredible skill with the 12-string still astounds all of us here – regardless of how fast and hard he’s playing, every note is clear, clean and audible.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!! Larrivee D-09 Rosewood Dreadnought Guitar, 1996

The Larrivee D-09 follows the pattern of one of the most successful guitar designs of all time – the Dreadnought  or D-body – pioneered by the C F Martin company in the early decades of the 20th century.    Over time, these full bodied guitars became the default body shape, providing full rich bass and midranges with clear highs,  and usually more volume than smaller instruments.
