❌SOLD❌ Gibson J-45 True Vintage Steel String Guitar, 2014

On January 26, 2018 /

Once in a long while, we see early J-45’s come through, and they are special. The Gibson J-45 True Vintage, labelled ‘J-45 TV’, is a good reproduction – with a few modern improvements – of those rare guitars. The J-45 appeared in 1942 as a replacement for the 1930’s J-35 model, and came only in sunburst to hide ‘defects’, which might now be called ‘figure’ in the Adirondack Spruce used for the tops. Almost immediately, the US joined WW2 and the J-45 was affected, notably with the loss of the truss rod. Still, those guitars are regarded by many as some of the finest built.

The C F Martin 000-18 is one of the classic American guitars, used by countless players since its introduction in 1908, 110 years ago. The design has undergone many changes but the 000-18 remains a very versatile instrument. The well-worn example seen here dates to 1956 and was built at the C F Martin facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. It’s built with a spruce top, mahogany for the sides, back, and neck, with rosewood for the fingerboard, bridge and headplate.

❌ SOLD ❌ Eastman E20D-SB Dreadnought Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 2005

On January 22, 2018 /

The Eastman E20D is the less decorated cousin to the Eastman E40D we posted recently, but even without the decorations it’s an impressive and classy guitar.
This example was built at the Eastman plant in China during 2005 and has been both played in and well looked after. It’s set up for bluegrass use, meaning that the action is a little higher for spirited playing, competing with other percussively loud instruments like banjos and mandolins.
