SOLD!!! Martin 00-16E Granadillo Steel String Guitar

SOLD!!! Martin 00-16E Granadillo Steel String Guitar

The new Martin 00-16E model starts from the classic 00, or Grand Concert body size, but in place of Mahogany or Indian Rosewood for the back and sides uses Granadillo. Granadillo is also known as Mexican Rosewood or Platymiscium Yucatanum. In Central and South America, it’s often used under the name Macacauba for musical instruments. Its density and hardness help it deliver a bit more top end than true Rosewoods, but still has bottom end and warmth.

Martin HD-28

Martin HD-28

Hopefully this is an indicator of better things – a brand new Martin HD28, delivered to us this week, one of the first shipments from the builder since the shutdown. The Martin HD-28, using the 14 fret D body and pairing a Sitka Spruce top with Indian Rosewood sides and back, is one of the benchmark American guitars. As the D-28 it’s been in production since 1931, and the D-28H indicates that it has Herringbone pattern purfling around the top.

❌SOLD❌ Taylor T5Z Sapele Classic Thinline Acoustic Electric, 2016

❌SOLD❌ Taylor T5Z Sapele Classic Thinline Acoustic Electric, 2016

The Taylor T5z Sapele Classic is an extremely versatile, lightweight and thin bodied acoustic / electric guitar designed like the T5 to replace several guitars on a bandstand. The model came into being when budgets for large tours were slashed and guitarists had to condense what they carried. The Taylor T5z Sapele Classic is an inch or so narrower than the T5, but offers a similar feature set. The semi hollow body is made with Sapele, and the neck is Mahogany with an Ebony fingerboard and bridge.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson J-35 Round Shoulder Flat Top Natural, 2013

❌SOLD❌  Gibson J-35 Round Shoulder Flat Top Natural, 2013

Built from 1936 to 1942, the Gibson J-35 round shoulder model, formally known as the Jumbo 35, replaced the more expensive Jumbo, whose sales were poor due to the ongoing Great Depression.  The very first models were named the Gibson Trojan. In 1942, the Jumbo 35 was itself replaced by the very successful J-45 model. The Gibson J-35 round shoulder jumbo and the J-45 have many visible and structural similarities. Both feature a Jumbo body with Spruce top paired with Mahogany for the back, sides, body blocks and neck, with Rosewood for the bridge and fingerboard.
