So On the subject of Screen print guitar, this a “Vaquero” dating to Early 30’s Chicago…. She’s just had a full “back off” restoration and a modified “X” brace arrangement have been fitted. Amazingly full rich tone and volume makes this little girl very sweet and will be loved by anyone who takes her home. We were fortunate to have this baby purchased by John C Reilly who was in town filming a movie, helluva nice guy!
Sold.

Now this is a rare bird, I remember trying to order one for a customer back in the good old days at “music junction” only to be told there was a 2 to 3 year wait! Anyways…. want something really cool? well this is it. Just one more thing…… This might get loud!… just a measly $3250.00 gets you into the club

I present to you the Burns Vibroslim Circa 1964…..Now if there’s one thing I know about you Burns Folk and that is you’re all a bit mad! Kind of like me and triumph TR7’s… only “special” friends get it….. with that said, this beast sounds huge and plays real slick having just been re fretted and set up, I’ve never worked out why Burns Guitar’s didn’t appear more in the heavier end of classic 60’s rock as they really are built for the job….Love it!
Sold.

This little Richter Cowboy really puts the “cowboy” into Cowboy guitar…. dating from the 40’s we left her in original guise as the trapeze bridge guitar rather than modifying her to a “pin bridge” arrangement. We have to keep those pretty, pretty graphics as visible as possible. The tone is punchy whilst keeping that bit of “plink” associated with this type of instrument…. way cute and price accessible for those wanting to delve into the world of vintage….. a warning though…. Once you get your first one, you wont stop….. which is good for us but shit house for your marriage.

Solid top Yamaha!!! Solid top Yamaha!!!
If the tone doesn’t get you in, then just look at her…. She’s…. well…. Handsome…..
Yamaha’s in History: Country Joe and The Fish (Woodstock), Elliot Smith ( The Academy Awards), Andre East (Guitar Repairers). These are strong and reliable.
A re-fret and a set up was all it took and she’s blossoming………

Every guitar has a story, however this guitar has pedigree. Jacki Marshall (web site here) is one of the best singer song writers I know (her last CD was awarded 4 stars in the Australian). However since having a bubby, something had to go (don’t worry, it wasn’t the bub ). This guitar is beautiful, All solid Spruce and Mahogany construction makes for a big rich and woody tone. Whoever gets this beauty will never want for vintage tone again.
