What could be cooler than a 70's Fender Jazz Bass?  How about a brand new, G&L JB?  This is so cool, a maple neck with a black, block markers, sunburst finish, two G&L JB Alinico 5 single coil pickups.  The neck is hard rock maple, the body is alder, it is 1 1/2'' at the nut.  If you like seventies funk, you'll be over the moon for this.  The Brothers Johnson wish they had this bass.  I've dealt vintage guitars for many years and this is better than any 70's vintage Jazz Bass I ever had.  I don't want offend any owners of 70's Fender's, I LOVE them, but this is lighter, and honestly, better made.  Hey, don't take my word for it. Try it, you'll love it.  Comes with hard case.

ON ORDER - Collings Julian Lage Signature OM1A-JL

Call us to reserve yours now.

When Bill Collings first met the brilliant young jazz musician Julian Lage, in 2014, the two began a series of in-depth conversations about their respective crafts. Lage's profound insights as a guitarist would play a key role in the creation of Collings’ T (Traditional) Series guitars. This rare collaboration, which continued right up until Bill’s passing, in July, 2017, has yielded another exceptional new guitar with an old soul. Collings is proud to present a highly personal extension of the T Series: the Julian Lage Signature OM1.

Though Lage's guitar shares the same foundational specs as the OM1 T, it is unique in some key ways. Its neck feels like no other Collings guitar. That’s because it’s modeled after Lage’s cherished 1939 Martin 000-18. This pre-war gem is heard on the guitarist’s 2015 solo album, "World’s Fair", and was his main touring acoustic for years.

The 000-18's neck—which was of course originally hand-shaped and sanded—has a distinctive taper altered by decades of wear. For Lage, this particular neck had come to feel like home. Through careful analysis and digitization of its unique dimensions, we were able to precisely recreate its worn-in, asymmetric feel on his signature model. While we maintained the relatively narrow 1 11/16" nut of the 000-18's neck, we extended the fretboard from the original short scale to our standard 25 1/2" length for slightly greater presence and note definition.

Lage has an affinity both tonally and aesthetically for vintage guitars whose finishes have mellowed after years of playing. To recreate this effect we initially considered a varnish, but to achieve the ideal combination of a thin finish application and a vintage aesthetic, we landed on a custom satin lacquer. This new finish offering not only feels and looks right to Lage, he finds it has the same inherent openness of tone that is present in the best pre-war instruments.

With his typical descriptive eloquence, Lage characterizes his signature model as a "lovingly neutral" guitar. It has a remarkably even response between registers. It's not an empty flatterer, but an instrument that rewards you when you're playing your best. In this way, Lage, whose own education is unending, sees the guitar as a teacher.

Lage's signature model incorporates a script peghead logo not seen on a new Collings instrument in decades. This is the inlay that Bill hand-cut some 30 years ago when he started out in a tiny shop in Austin, Texas. We see this as a loving tribute to our late leader, who in his final project was able to realize the perfect new steel-string for one of today’s most exacting guitarists.

The Bergantino Audio Systems HDN (High Definition Neo) series lightweight speaker cabinets retain the great Bergantino Audio sound and give you the weight savings but not at the expense of tone and performance. These are the finest lightweight speaker cabinets made. The precision tuned cabinet architecture and the enclosures are built with the highest quality lightweight Italian poplar plywood (with Baltic birch baffle boards) selected to our demanding specifications. This lightweight cabinet material (along with the lightweight magnet material) helps reduce the overall cabinet weight. The exterior of these speaker cabinets are finished in a durable bronco tolex covering for long life and cabinet protection. A rigid black grille is added to protect the drivers from damage and to minimize the coloration and tone reduction found with a cloth speaker grille.

The internal components used are extremely high quality and they are of Bergantino design. No "off-the-shelf" parts are used. Our new design Neodymium magnet woofers (unique to the HDN) are used for the low frequency section of the HDN series cabinets. These Neodymium drivers have a punchy low-end and a very sweet midrange that is placed a little more forward in the sound field when compared to the HD series. Fretless and upright players will often prefer the HDN cabinets because of how the midrange "speaks" with their instruments. The HDN series cabinets have a new design high intelligibility tweeter mated to the woofers through a custom designed phase-coherent crossover with a tweeter control. Because of the increased cost of the Neodymium magnet material and imported wood for the cabinetry, the HDN series speakers cost more than the HD series, but may just be the right match for your playing style and weight needs.

We have some great jazz guitar teachers here at Martin Music, serious cats, these guys.  Kurt Rosenwinkel is one of our teacher's favorite guitar players.  That's all I need to know, if Joe says this guy is the bomb, then he's the bomb.   We have a D'Angelico DLX SS co-designed with Kurt.  This is an exceptional guitar. with a spruce top, flame maple back and sides, gold hardware, two humbucking pickups, and this is quite novel for a hollow body, but this guitar is not completely hollow, it's more of a semi solid, not quite like a Gibson ES-335 but with a solid block to support the stop tailpiece.  The finish is Honey Burst with gold Grover tuners and ebony knobs.  It's a striking instrument.  It sounds and plays great, this is a serious guitar.  The neck is C-shape, slim and comfortable.  Comes with hard case

Designed in collaboration with one of the world's most renowned jazz guitarists, the Deluxe Kurt Rosenwinkel SS features a spruce top for brightness and a center-block for maximum sustain, easily maintaining its full tone in a band setting. With minimal appointments, the Kurt Rosenwinkel SS features a comfortable slim C-shape neck profile, rosewood fingerboard, and stopbar tailpiece. Its Honey Burst finish is complemented by gold Grover tuners and ebony tone knobs.

The acoustic/electric Grand Auditorium 414ce-R responds well to an array of playing styles thanks to Taylor’s flagship body shape and the classic pairing of rosewood and spruce. Rosewood lends a lively overtone sparkle to the treble notes, while the guitar’s overall voice delivers a pleasing mix of warmth and tonal definition. Whether you like to strum, flatpick or play fingerstyle, this guitar makes an inspiring playing partner. Contemporary aesthetic strokes include white binding, Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays, a three-ring rosette, and a full-gloss body. The guitar comes equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 acoustic electronics along with a Venetian cutaway, and ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

A rich-grained mahogany top paired with Tasmanian blackwood back and sides give Taylor’s medium-size cutaway Grand Auditorium body plenty of tonal and visual character. The clear, punchy midrange behaves well in a mix with other instruments, and delivers the kind of musical versatility that makes this a reliable guitar in different playing scenarios. Neo-traditional appointments complement mahogany’s dark, vintage looks, including a shaded edgeburst top and all-satin finish. The guitar incorporates a Venetian cutaway and comes equipped with Expression System 2 electronics for a dynamic amplified acoustic sound.

This is one of the best sounding ES-330's we've come across. A vintage 1960 ES-330TD. There's a vibe in the old wood of this guitar you don't hear in the new models. Played acoustically it's loud and resonant...it vibrates on your arm, the back of your hand, against your ribs, or any other part of your body that touching it. It feels alive. Plugged in this guitar really shines. It comes close to doing everything you could want. The bride pickup has a twang that can rival a Tele but with a fattness a Tele doesn't have. The neck pickup is big and punchy with a woody tone that you've always wanted but have seldom heard. The ES-330TD was debuted in 1959 as a thinline with creme plastic body binding on top, back and three sides of the rosewood fingerboard. It had the postwar script "Gibson" logo at the top of its ebony overlaid glossy finished headplate, and below that there is no further decoration, just a white bordered black bell-shaped truss rod cover held in plate by two roundhead Phillips screws. Factory order number R2795. This model has the twin rounded cutaway and also a shorter length neck than the ES-335 had. The scale length is approximately 24 1/2" nut to saddle. The width of the fingerboard at the nut is 1 11/16" with an E-to-E string width at the saddle of 2". It has an elevated black plastic pickguard with edges that are laminated with white-black-white border. It has twin black plastic P-90 pickups which have a "dog ear" on the bass side, but a squared side on the treble. It has a tune-o-matic bridge, meaning that it is fully adjustable both vertically and individually adjustable both forward and backward. The pearloid fret marker at the 15th fret has been replaced and the treble side binding from the first to 9th fret has been replace. Other than those two repairs this guitar is all original. Comes with modern hardshell case.

We have so many cool guitars - a virtual plethora of cool, used and vintage guitars. Take this great guitar for instance: we have a 1969 Orange label Gibson ES-340TDW in the original Walnut finish. Laminated maple neck with beautiful Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard and miniature block pearloid inlays. It shows lots of wear, weather checking, nicks, dings, scratches. The trapeze tailpiece has been replaced with a stop tailpiece. The tune-o-matic bridge has been replaced too, and the one original to the guitar will be included inside the case. The lead pickup is a vintage, Gibson T-Top stamped patent number pickup, but it's not the original one that came with the guitar. The neck pickup is original patent number decal pickup. The frets are fine. Plays great and sounds great. It's a great blues guitar. I'm sure some Memphis blues are soaking into it right now. There are no breaks or problems. Great player's guitar. The logo and diamond are showing considerable wear. Comes with non original hard case.
