I first met Bill Collings in the 1980's while at the Austin Guitar Show. He was a great guy with an obvious love of vintage instruments. He built some of the finest instruments I've ever seen. I was in the vintage business at that time, and had played Loar F-5's and such. I could not believe how his mandolins held up against those. It changed my whole view on new versus old. We have a good one for you fine folks: a second hand Collings MF Mandolin. This instrument is gorgeous, with a glossy honey amber finish on the top, and satin finish on the back and sides. The upgraded Ivoroid body binding is a really nice touch that really goes well with the finish; much classier looking than the standard tortoise shell. The fingerboard is ebony and the bound pickguard is ebony. It's close to mint condition, showing only the slightest hints of being payed. The only thing notable about the condition is a dark spot on the back of the instrument near the base of the neck and scroll, where it has some discoloration caused by the stand it sat in. This of course is purely cosmetic and doesn't change the sound or stability of the instrument. The frets are perfect. The tone is amazing. With a fully carved Adirondack spruce top and maple back and sides, the MF is built with the same quality construction as Collings' fully-appointed models. This instrument produces the rich, woody tone that one would expect from a professional quality mandolin, at an affordable price. I love the amber finish; it gives it a very elegant look. This one is a keeper. You are going to love it. Comes with original TKL hard case.

Upgrade's on this model include: Gloss finish top, Ivoroid body binding, and bound ebony pickguard.

New retail price for this mandolin with its upgrades is now $5550 with a street discount price of $4995. Grab this one for way less.

Upgraded with Vintage Satin Tint Neck, and 3-Ply Tortoise Shell pickguard.

Inspired by the classic surf sound born in Southern California, the new G&L Doheny takes its name from the iconic beach in the heart of Orange County where 60's surf pioneers became legends. Since those halcyon days, both music and surfing have evolved far beyond their roots, and so has the performance of the gear.
Doheny takes the bolt-on offset-body into new sonic territory with newly developed Magnetic Field Design jazz pickups, the first on any production G&L. Naturally, these new pickups will invite comparison to Leo’s jumbo MFD ASAT Special pickups, given they employ a narrow bobbin aperture and broad coil splay. But Doheny's MFD pickups are more about jangle than twang, just as they should be for a guitar like this. With a classic jazz bobbin aperture wrapped with traditional Formvar wire, these pickups just might be the approach Leo would have taken had he been with us a few years longer.
So what’s it like? The sound is rich in harmonics yet surprisingly full, the result of carefully researching and applying Leo's creative work across the decades. The Doheny pickups deliver the experience fans have hoped for, with their flexibility maximized by the PTB tone system that allows echoes of yesteryear while delivering more output and range for today’s music. Add in Leo's finest vibrato for enhanced tuning stability and improved sustain, and the results are astounding.

The Imperial Guitar, Fodera's new single cut offering, combines the classic thick and rich tone of guitars from the 50’s updated with modern aesthetic, playability, and construction techniques. The Imperial Guitar features a customer’s choice of a one-piece, semi-hollow Mahogany, Walnut, or Korina body, as well as a customer’s choice of a 3-piece Mahogany, Korina, Maple, or Walnut neck. This guitar also incorporates a unique stop-tailpiece where a solid brass bar has been inlayed into a fingerboard-matching wooden shell providing added mass and sustain. The Imperial Guitar comes with a set of Seymour Duncan Custom Humbuckers providing a full, even, and rich sound with smooth highs, thick lows, and growling midrange.

Perfect as a first guitar or the last guitar you’ll ever need, the PRS SE Standard 24 faithfully recreates the foundational design of the Custom 24, PRS’s flagship model, with all-mahogany body construction. This guitar features classic PRS appointments, including a 24-fret mahogany neck (set neck construction), rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, 85/15 “S” pickups, and the PRS patented molded tremolo, resulting in a guitar that handles well and sounds as good plugged straight into an amp as it does run through a pedal board.

The SE Standard 24 is a modern instrument with a powerful voice for players who demand a rock-solid, reliable guitar.

“With so many aspiring players struggling to stick with guitar past the first year, we knew we wanted to deliver an affordable quality guitar that players didn’t have to fight. We want the guitar to inspire you to play; it can’t be something you have to worry about staying in tune or simply working right. So while the [SE] Standards are our first foray into the below $500 price point, that doesn’t mean we compromised on tone, versatility, playability, or reliability,” said Jack Higginbotham, COO, PRS Guitars. “We’re very proud to offer these guitars to the world.”

This LsL T Bone T-Bone Model is a modern rendition of one of the best '50's or '60's T-style guitars you will ever play. This is not a partscaster guitar like many in its price range. The T-Bone features a swamp ash body, fuller 50's style profile maple neck, and LSL custom-wound pickups. The metal parts, hardware and fretboards are manually aged to create a near-authentic, played (but not beaten) appearance. The thinnest possible nitrocellulose lacquer finish is applied and then weather checked. This contributes to a very airy, open, articulate tone that is then enhanced by LsL's hand-wound pickups. Played acoustically, this guitar is extremely loud and resonant...that's always the sign of a superior instrument. The neck is straight and true. The frets are in perfect condition. It's ready to take directly to your gig right now. It sounds great, plays great, and feels great. It is as close as you can get to achieving the tone, playability, look, and feel of a great vintage guitar.
