❌SOLD❌Gibson J45 Slope Shoulder Dreadnought Sunburst, 1963

On February 21, 2020 /

he Gibson J45 Slope Shouldered dreadnought, or Jumbo, was introduced in 1942 to replace the J-35, which had been built since 1936. It has remained in production ever since, and its rich warm tones make it a great match with a singer. Intended as a ‘working man’s guitar’, the Gibson J43 Slope Shouldered model was very similar to the J-35, but for the most part has stiffer, stronger and taller bracing shifted slightly back from the soundhole and a rounded neck profile.

❌ SOLD❌ Gibson 1942 Banner J-45, Vintage Sunburst Limited Edition

On February 12, 2020 /

The Gibson 1942 Banner J-45 reproduces in as many ways as possible the initial 1942 models. I have to say that Gibson’s done a fantastic job in designing and building this guitar. It’s very light, as the originals were, and uses thermally aged Adirondack Spruce for the top, and Mahogany for the rest of the guitar, except for the Indian Rosewood bridge and Fingerboard. This model does have a truss rod; from time to time during the war, Gibson would run out of the steel rod, and some of their guitars from the era didn’t get them.

Sold‼ Takamine DSF48C Santa Fe Steel String, 2002

On February 11, 2020 /

The Takamine DSF48c Santa Fe is now discontinued, but replaced by the TSF48c – the difference is in the installed preamp, while the rest of the guitar is unchanged. Takamine was one of the first companies to market a successful pickup-equipped steel string guitar, and one of their key developments was with the preamp and EQ systems. For a time, it seemed every Country stage had at least one Takamine.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson J-45 Slope Shoulder Dreadnought, 1949

On February 10, 2020 /

The Gibson J-45 Slope Shoulder Dreadnought is one of the classic American guitars, built for the working or aspiring musician. It’s not fancy, but delivers exactly what it needs to. Warm and full sounding, this model has long been a favourite for singer-songwriters. The round upper bouts or shoulders differentiate the design from Martin’s square-shoulder ‘D’line, though the first incarnations of that model also had round shoulders.

❌SOLD❌ Martin JC16RE Aura Jumbo Cutaway Steel String, 2007

On January 20, 2020 /

The Martin JC16RE uses what is for that company an unusual body design, a Jumbo – slightly smaller than a Dreadnought in some dimensions, and larger than an OM or 000 in virtually all body dimensions. The proportions are similar to a classical guitar, so these Jumbo models tend to have a more even tonal representation throughout the harmonic range, plus more volume. This Martin JC16RE dates to 2007 and was built at the Martin plant in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

The Guild JF55 was built as the top of the six-string acoustic line from 1989 until the Westerly, Rhode Island plant closed. Featuring a jumbo body, the Guild J55 combined a Sitka Spruce top with Indian Rosewood back and sides, with a three-piece Mahogany neck. The bridge and bound fingerboard are Ebony, and the inlays and rosette are a combination of Mother of Pearl and Abalone. Hardware is gold plated, with Grover RotoMatic tuners at the head.
