  The "Large Soundhole" made its first appearance on a Bourgeois dreadnought back in 2014 as a tribute to one of Dana Bourgeois' heroes. We were immediately impressed with the tonal flavor it lent our standard design, begging the obvious question; What would a Large Soundhole on our OM sound like?
  Introducing the "Large Soundhole" OM, Bourgeois' latest in a long run of vintage-inspired innovations. Since it's birth, the Large Soundhole OM has become an instant hit among flatpickers seeking smaller bodied alternatives. With striking tonal similarities to the Dreadnought, this acoustic offers improved ergonomics and accommodates a large diversity of playing styles. Featuring aesthetics associated with "holy grail" dreads, this model is a perfect representation of Dana's constant innovation of the Vintage flattop.

  The Goodall Grand Concert might be one of the world's most perfect guitars. With its refined and beautifully proportioned shape, it is everything you could desire from an acoustic guitar and more. It's tone is a wonderful blend of balanced clarity, and punchy projection, with a smooth rich bass response. This instrument is larger than the Parlor but smaller than the Concert Jumbo. It has a singing lyrical treble, with excellent sustain, and is comfortable to hold. Though it is a small guitar, the Grand Concert does not exhibit the tight nasal tonal quality in the midrange and bass that is generally associated with smaller guitars.
  While the Grand Concert series is considered ideal for the fingerstylist due to its sensitive, dynamic responsiveness, it is equally appropriate for the flatpicker or plectrum player with the appropriate tonewood combination. It is prized by Bluegrass flatpickers and has even been said to surpass large bodied dreadnought guitars with respect to it's clarity, sustain and powerful projection.

Straight out of a collection, we have this fine Martin Custom Shop guitar. It's rare and gorgeous. Martin's Custom Shop creates some of the world's best acoustic guitars, and this pre-owned custom Dreadnought is no exception! Never one to rest on their laurels, Martin constructed this guitar using an amazing set of Quilted Bubinga wood for the back and sides, providing a gorgeous look as well as a full-bodied tone that simply has to be heard to be believed. Full, blooming chords and clear, crisp single-note lines ring out perfectly thanks to the forward-shifted scalloped "X" bracing, making this Dreadnought an excellent choice for recording and playing out. Of course, the looks are nothing to scoff at, with a Amber Sunburst finish on the Adirondack Spruce top that wonderfully complements the Bubinga back and sides. In excellent condition. The frets show virtually no wear. The neck is straight and true. The action is great and a joy to play. This is a serious guitar for a serious player. It is one of the finest Martin guitars we have had in the shop. Comes with the Custom Shop Martin hardshell case. This guitar had a retail price of $8249

We recently got a private collection of great Martin guitars. This is one of my favorites: a 2012 Martin HD-28V Vintage series. Made to the specs of a pre war Martin D-28 with scalloped bracing, Herrinbone trim, and "Butterbean" style tuners. It is a good one. Very clean and nice. This guitar sounds absolutely amazing. I've played a lot of these, and this is one of the best. It has Indian Rosewood back and sides, and is very resonant. The frets are fine, neckset is perfect, it's ready to go. Comes with original hard case.

We have a 2014 Martin D-45 Custom Shop with an Ambertone Sunburst finish. Collector owned, it is in immaculate condition. Sunburst is rare on any Martin, and it's even more so on a D-45 model. It's gorgeous. The sound is excellent and then some. All in all, a super fine guitar, and one that I guarantee people will say, "Hey, nice guitar!" This decked out Dreadnought is the flagship model of the Standard Series. It is the most ornate of all the instruments, featuring hand inlaid pearl on the top, back, sides, and neck.

  "It's been a dream of mine for years to design a guitar that includes some of my favorite vintage specifications but with a modern spirit and aesthetic. After two years of study and refinement, the Silver Sky is my vision of what a reboot of the electric guitar should look and feel like." – John Mayer
  The PRS Silver Sky is the result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith. More than two and half years in the making, the Silver Sky is a vintage-inspired instrument that is at once familiar but also newly PRS through and through. This model was based off of Mayer and Smith’s favorite elements from 1963 and 1964 vintage instruments, resulting in an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar. The attention that was paid to every detail sets this guitar apart.
  Some of the more distinctive specifications include, the headstock shape, tuners, neck and fretboard, bridge, and pickups and electronics. The headstock shape is based on PRS’s trademark design, but inverted to both accommodate Mayer’s playing style and also to keep a consistent length of string behind the nut, which makes staying in tune easier. The tuners are a traditional vintage-style, closed-back tuner, but with PRS’s locking design. The neck shape was modeled after 1963/1964 vintage instruments, and the fretboard has a 7.25” radius. The moment your hand grabs this neck, it just feels right. Like the tuners, the steel tremolo takes a classic design and incorporates PRS’s trem arm and Gen III knife-edge screws. The bridge on the Silver Sky is setup flush to the body in the neutral position so that the tremolo bridge only goes down in pitch. By keeping the bridge in contact with the body, the guitar itself is acoustically louder, which improves the signal to noise ratio of the single-coil pickups. The 635JM single-coil pickups are very round and full, with a musical high end that is never “ice-picky” or brash.
  Other high-quality specifications include a bone nut, a molded metal jack plate that is curved and makes plugging and unplugging a guitar cable hassle-free, retooled knobs, fretwire that is slightly smaller than what you’d find on most PRS electric guitars, and PRS’s double action truss rod (accessible from the front of the headstock for ease of use).

  Here is one of the nicest second hand Taylor guitars that has come through here in quite a while. A Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium 6 string, and I mean Custom from the ground up! To start with, the top is a beautiful Engelmann Spruce that has a spectacular tobacco sunburst. Take that and put a figured Koa binding around the body and around the neck and headstock and then you begin to understand what we have. The maple neck has a fretboard of ebony that, by request, has a tremendous amount of marbling. That fretboard blends really nicely with the Koa binding. The bridge is ebony as well, also with a good amount of marbling. There is a custom ordered rosette with a ring of that same figured Koa with a bound soundhole.
  The back and sides are beautiful "A" grade quilted maple finished in tobacco sunburst. The tuners are Gotoh 510's, antique gold finish with ebony buttons. These tuners are, in my opinion, the best, most accurate, and smoothest on the market. It becomes a pleasure having to tune the guitar! The Taylor Expression pickup system is installed. The saddle and nut are bone.
  As far as the sound, not much needs to be said - Taylors always sound great. When I think of a maple body, I expect to hear something a bit tight, brittle, with the treble shouting through the mix. Not so with what Taylor has been doing with their maple models lately. Their selection of the wood, and the manner in which the bracing has been adjusted yields a warmth that is fantastic while not sacrificing the openness and clarity you'd expect from maple. The sustain is long and pleasing.
  With the comfortable 1 3/4" neck width and some Elixir Light Nanoweb strings on this baby, you are set for a lifetime! Except for a little ding on the top lower bout, treble side, the guitar is in mint condition.
Feel welcomed to call us with any questions or a hands-on description. Of course, the Taylor brown hardshell case is included.
  Street price for this guitars was $5085. Grab this for a fraction of that price $3400.

Yosaw, Yowsa, Yowsa, we've got a good one for you! Don't you love that phrase, "Yowsa, Yowsa, Yowsa?" It was popularized by the great jazz violinist, Ben Bernie in the 1930's. You'll say Yowsa when you see this guitar, it is stunning. We have a new, PRS McCarty 594 with 10 top in Copperhead finish, normally a finish only available on an Artist Package model. The 10 top is one of the best we've seen, with a figured mahogany body. The neck is a pattern vintage that feels great. It is a fine sounding, and fine playing instrument. The McCarty 594 is a vintage-inspired instrument that is at once incredibly familiar and effortlessly playable. Whether you are looking for rich, authentic, vintage humbucking tones or nuanced, sweet singlecoil sounds, the McCarty 594 can seamlessly master both sonic territories thanks to the 58/15 LT pickups and push/pull coil taps on the tone controls. The electronics layout, a few key specifications, and PRS craftsmanship combine in the McCarty 594 to create an instrument that plays in tune, is intonated the entire length of the neck, and feels like a guitar that you’ve been playing forever.
