Here’s a real treat: a very good condition Gibson ES-5 Alnico from 1999, built in the Gibson Custom Shop at Nashville, Tennessee.
The Gibson ES-5 was first produced in 1949, as an alternate electric model of the L-5. Intended for jazz players, the ES-5 had three pickups and lots of controls to allow subtle tonal adjustments.

This Guild Aristocrat M-75 from 1958 is in great playable condition; it looks great, it’s very comfortable, sounds fabulous, and it’s quite light.
Though we might be tempted to think that the Aristocrat was a response to the Gibson’s introduction of the Les Paul, it’s much more likely that it was a reaction to Gretsch’s introduction of Duo-Jet guitars.

Here we have a Kenny Hill Hauser ’37 Classical, 2009 model. This instrument has been well played and has a few marks, as French Polish finishes are prone to, but is in excellent structural condition.
Here’s what Kenny Hill has to say about this model:
“We are pleased to announce our new Hauser ’37 model – a very desirable concert guitar. The original guitar built for Andres Segovia by Hermann Hauser presently resides in New York’s Metropolitan Museum. Kenny Hill decided to develop the Hauser ’37 by closely following Richard Brune’s documented specifications both in materials and construction techniques. The results are very pleasing. This guitar’s sophistication, subtlety and quality of sound is exceptional. The Hauser ’37 is designed for the player seeking a singularly unique instrument, featuring the qualities of a custom made guitar, a faithful representation of Hauser’s timeless design, a joy to play and a exceptional sound.”
