  4. Les Korn Archtop

    November 28, 2017

    Les Korn is a reclusive character who makes only as few instruments a year. This Archtop has a very D’angelico Contemporary vibe about it right down to the headstock design…. This is a serious handmade professional instrument that is worthy of a connoisseur who will appreciate the fineries of the artist who built her. There are some things I wish I could keep for myself and this is one of them.

    • Serial no.: 14706
    • Made in Tucson AZ
    • Carved Englemann Spruce Top; Highly Figured Maple back/sides/neck

    $4500

    Includes Case


  5. Collings DS2H Slope Shoulder Dreadnought

    November 28, 2017

    We really don’t need to tell you about Collings instruments if you’re already looking at this post. Bill Collings started the company in 1973 and has made what can only be described as the Rolls Royce of American stringed instruments ever since. Bill passed away in July of this year and although this is a tragedy for the luthiery community, not to mention his many admirers in the playing community, there is no doubt that instruments built before his passing will increase in value.  Some have described a Collings flat top as an orchestra in a box… this definitely rings true for this guitar… How can one guitar sound so big and fulsome? There is no doubt in my mind that this guitar will be gracing your home… or home studio for that matter. One things for certain and that is, you’ll have a friend for life… I think a quick check on the going prices will tell you that this is a bargain…..

  6. Gibson ES125 C. 1955

    October 13, 2017

    Here we have a lovely mid ’50’s ES125 fully set up and ready to rock… Whether it be Jazz, Fuzz or Country, this guitar has it all going on…. here’s some facts

    1. Originally purchased for Jackson’s rare Guitars in the late 80’s
    2. Finish is in great condition however a re-finish may have been done at some stage.
    3. The pots date to 10-53 
    4. The “sloped” headstock puts the age at ’55 or before.
    5. The P90 is original, however, the cover has been modified; probably as a result of the fact that many of these covers pulled away from the body owing to a lack of flexiblility… You Gibson nuts will know about this!
    6. The serial number is unusual, if a little hard to read. From what i can make out it looks to be “SP0228” with what looks like a 4 on the end. 
    7. The bridge may or may not be original.

    But with this knowledge in hand, at the end of the day this is a lovely guitar with amazing tone and playability.

    $1800.00

    Includes Case (non original)
