When Gibson introduced the Advanced Jumbo guitar back in the late 1930s, it boasted one of the most prominent low-end voices of any guitar available, largely thanks to having a large, round-shouldered Dreadnought body. This guitar is exceptionally big and punchy sounding thanks to the Adirondack Red Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. The Mahogany neck is topped with a Rosewood fretboard, with a 1-3/4" nut width for a traditional look and feel, and braced with a traditional scalloped "X". This limited edition Luthier's Choice model also features distinctive Mother-Of-Pearl inlay on the fingerboard, gorgeous firestripe pickguard, a rectangular rosewood bridge with a long saddle, and Waverly open gear tuners, as well as Fishman Rare Earth sound hole pickup for amazing tone when you plug in. This guitar has very little signs of previous play time on it. Aside from a small top ding near the edge of the lower bout on the treble side and and some slight pick marks it’s in excellent condition. The frets are in perfect condition and show no wear. The neck is straight and true. It plays and sounds fantastic. This guitar retailed for $11,500 back in 2002. Grab it now for a fraction of that price. Comes with original paperwork and hard shell case.

Here is a 2003 Gibson SJ Custom Shop made with the Holy Grail of tone woods, Brazilian Rosewood. The Southern Jumbo is a workhouse of a guitar beloved by many famous artists...Woodie Guthrie and Hank Williams Jr were both known for loving the model.  The Southern Jumbo was born in 1942 with solid Brazilian rosewood back and sides, but the model is more commonly found with the solid mahogany back and sides it carried when it reappeared in 1946. This Brazilian incarnation has been crafted in Bozeman, Montana by Gibson’s lauded acoustic division. Other features of the model include the solid premium Sitka spruce top, 6-ply top binding and 4-ply back binding, nitrocellulose vintage sunburst finish, tortoise Southern Jumbo pickguard, and split-parallelogram mother-of-pearl fingerboard position markers. The Brazilian Rosewood is gorgeous. It has a great feeling neck with a nice medium profile. There is no wear, it is perfect. It is a serious guitar and a great sounding guitar. Okay, as we like to say in the business, now for the kicker: It is signed on the front by country artist, Craig Morgan, how cool is that? This guitar retailed for $12,500 back in 2003. Grab it now for a fraction of that price. Comes with original paperwork and hard shell case.

  R.Taylor Style 1 serial #008. This is the first R.Taylor we received as a dealer in 2006. It's the earliest serial number we've seen come up for sale too. This is a really good one. Taylor's 514ce model was one of their most popular for many years. And rightfully so, the combination of Mahogany and cedar is fantastic. Imagine the best sounding and playing 514 but on steroids and that's this guitar. It sounds bigger that a 514, is louder, has more sustain, with a higher volume ceiling, and with no loss of tonal balance.
  R. Taylor Guitars was a division of Taylor, the guitars were a step above the custom built Taylor models. Built in a different building from the rest of the Taylor production by a handful of Taylor's very best and most experienced luthier's. While still taking advantage of Taylor's vast resources and precision guitar components, these more experienced luthiers at R. Taylor worked in a small shop environment where they were able to spend more time on each individual guitar, tweaking the bracings if needed, instead of always leaving them exactly the way the CNC machines cut them like a production Taylor guitar.
  Some of the major structural differences between an R. Taylor and regular Taylor is rather than using kerfing, R. Taylor used steamed and bent solid linings which involve more labor. This makes the sides far more rigid than traditional construction methods and translates into a lot more power than a similar shaped Taylor. The bridge plate is inset into the top giving it a lower interior profile and more sound transference to the top. The neck is a made out of one piece of mahogany while the standard Taylor uses a two piece neck heel and a headstock with a scarf joint.
  In excellent condition. The only blemishes worth mentioning are a center seam separation that extends 1-1/4" below the bridge, and some very light belt buckle scrapes on the back. No other issues or signs of dryness. The frets are near perfect showing only the slightest hints of play. This R. Taylor Style 2 features Cedar Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, Tropical Mahogany Neck, Indian rosewood Body and Neck Binding, 1-3/4" Nut Width, 25" Scale, '65 Top Radius, and an Ameritage Hardshell Case.

Can a guitar look over-the-top and understated at the same time? Yes, it can. This limited edition Taylor 914ce is definitely "Over-the-top understated." It's been turning heads ever since it arrived, for both its looks and its big, lush sound. It is not only loud, but also an amazingly accurate guitar. Perfect intonation with clear, articulate tones up and down the neck. The overtones on this instrument are amazing, and it is rich with harmonics.

Here's a great sounding Deering Rustic Wreath 5 string banjo with Kavanjo banjo head pickup system. In fantastic, near mint condition.

The Rustic Wreath is a stunning and affordable walnut stained maple banjo that honors the heritage of the instrument, while taking on a sleek, minimalist feel. In keeping with the tradition of some of the world’s most popular banjos, the Rustic Wreath retains aesthetic features of its older siblings, notably the inlay pattern from the Golden Wreath, the traditional prewar peghead shape, and iconic flange hole pattern. The tapered profile of the maple neck is also identical to that found on the other models from the Golden Series, giving a very comfortable playing experience. The Rustic Wreath also shares the same deep resonator as the other Golden Series banjos, allowing for greater bass frequencies to be produced.
These traditional features are paired with a beautifully understated satin finish over a dark walnut stain, and single white binding on the resonator. This makes for a sleek take on an iconic looking instrument.
Tonally, the Rustic Wreath has a beautiful, bright crack, thanks to its Deering 06 tone ring mounted to a 3-ply violin grade maple rim – a time tested combination that features on many best-selling Deering models, and loved by audiences around the world.

  In excellent, near mint condition. No dings, no nicks, only a tiny cloud of pick marks that are so slight you have to hold the guitar at just the right angle in just the right light to see. The frets are perfect. A Fishman Ellipse Blend pickup has been professionally installed. There are no issues with this guitar.
  This guitar has opened up beautifully over the past 13 years. Warm, thick, and rich trebles from the gorgeous Old Growth Redwood top combined with tight, full, and focused bottom end response of the walnut back and sides make this R. Taylor a phenomenal fingerstyle guitar. Old growth Redwood like this is stronger than cedar giving you the best qualities of cedar but with much more dynamic range. It also gives it more power and projection with a higher volume ceiling, meaning this guitar responds beautifully to a flat pick. You can strum this very hard without the compression and top distortion you would get with a cedar top. Truly the best of both worlds and an incredible combination of woods that would suit any style of playing...This R. Taylor Style 1 features Old Growth Redwood Top, highly figured walnut Back and Sides, Tropical Mahogany Neck, Ebony Body and Neck Binding, 1-3/4" Nut Width, 25" Scale, '65 Top Radius, and an Ameritage Hardshell Case.
