Martin OM-45 Marquis (No Longer Available)

On December 16, 2010 /

According to C. F. Martin III, the 14-fret neck was developed in late 1929. Prior to the period, guitars were generally equipped with a 12-fret neck. As the story goes, a renowned plectrum banjoist of the day, Perry Bechtel, suggested to Frank Henry Martin that he make a guitar with a 14-fret neck. Bechtel reasoned that the longer neck would increase the guitar’s range and make it a more versatile instrument. Following Bechtel’s advice, Martin introduced a guitar with the longer neck and dubbed it an “Orchestra Model.”

❌ SOLD ❌ Collings OM2H E Custom Cutaway

On December 15, 2010 /

Tags: acoustic, Collings

It has been a while since we had a Collings flat top with a cutaway, so when we were looking to put together a custom order, an OM2H with Englemann spruce top seemed to be the logical choice. The last time we had an OM2H in stock, the crisp enunciation and complex sonic detail left a lasting impression… and this guitar serves up the same tonal bliss. Features include a premium Englemann spruce top, Indian rosewood sides and back, beautiful Herringbone top marquetry, venetian cutaway, and a very comfortable soft V neck profile. This piece further emphasizes the precision and attention to detail that has become a calling card of all Collings guitars.

Bourgeois Standard D (Discontinued)

On December 15, 2010 /

Tags: acoustic, Bourgeois acoustic

The Standard D model from Dana Bourgeois gets my vote for THE best flattop guitar in its price point … period! This instrument consistently utilizes some of the nicest tonewoods I ever see on a dreadnought. It displays all of the attention to detail that you would expect from a Bourgeois, and each Standard D model has its top “tuned” by the maestro himself!

Different versions of “Advanced” slope shouldered rosewood dreadnoughts have been produced by various companies since the 1930’s but few have ever boasted the power, coupled with the rich complex tone, of this Advanced D Model from the workshop of Dana Bourgeois.

❌SOLD❌ Wildwood Troubador Black Walnut Banjo

On November 21, 2010 /

Tags: Banjo, banjos, troubador, Wildwood banjos

Here we have a slightly more dressed up Wildwood Troubador frailing banjo with binding and wood purfling on both neck and rim as well as some very tastefully executed abalone inlay work on the fingerboard and peghead. The Troubador is a professional level instrument in every regard. The wood selection is top notch as is the craftsmanship and attention to detail with regards to fit and finish. The tone projects without being harsh or losing the ‘old time’ clawhammer sound.
