  Here's a stunning Froggy Bottom H-12 Deluxe. The guitar was shipped on Oct. 12, 2015. It features AAAA Madagascar Rosewood back and sides with an Adirondack Spruce top. All the specs are normal with the only option added being Koa body binding. Retail price at time of sale was $13,410. This H-12 shows almost no signs of play and there are no flaws of any significance. The frets are perfect and show no wear. It comes in a Main Stage hardshell case, vey similar to a Calton case, but not quite as heavy. I've seen "new" guitars that show more wear than this instrument.
  The H12 is the most popular Froggy Bottom model and it's easy to feel and hear why. This guitar has spectacular tonal balance and would be an excellent choice for fingerstyle. Strum this guitar and you get a big, lush tone that is seemingly unique to Froggy acoustics. The narrow waist and slightly shorter scale means it feels and plays like a smaller guitar, but at the same time sounds bigger than it is. The playability is superb with 12th fret string heights of .090" at the bass side and .070" at the treble side. This guitar is extremely responsive to your level of play so it lets you be expressive, whether using flat pick or fingers.
​  Get yourself a guitar for a lifetime with this Froggy H-12. You will be very glad you did!

  First year production 1961 Gibson Johnny Smith model arch top. Introduced in 1961, the Gibson Johnny Smith Model represented the pinnacle of Smith's design creativity. It is an instrument that married classic body styling with unprecedented technical innovation. Six decades later, it's hard to envision a time when the only floating pickups available were the DeArmond or the McCarty pickguard pickup. The Johnny Smith debuted the world's first floating humbucking pickup, now the industry standard. Taking inspiration from the past as well as the future, Smith resurrected the classic X-braced top, a design used by Gibson in the 1930's. With it's increased sustain and warm, throaty tone, the X-brace has become favored as well among contemporary archtop builders from Benedetto and on. When you hear this guitar you will know why...it sounds amazing! Only 198 Johnny Smith model guitars were shipped between 1961 and 1965.
  The electronics have been gone over, cleaned, and all is working perfectly. The pot shield is completely intact. The 1/8" input jack has been replaced. The frets have just been expertly replaced and a polished bone nut has been installed. It has been professionally set up, it plays and sounds so incredibly well. It comes with the original frets and bone nut, guitar cable, and original deluxe arched black Gibson hardshell case, with gold plush lining.

The OO is a guitar shape that was first designed around the time of the Civil War. Its dimensions are similar to a typical classical guitar, with a slotted headstock and small pyramid bridge. The comfortable size and timeless appearance of the Collings 00 is matched by the ease of playing a wide neck and shorter string scale affords. The tone is typically balanced and precise, and is suited for a wide range of playing styles from simple vocal accompaniment to ragtime solos. When you want the durability of a modern guitar but one that appears rooted in an earlier, simpler time, the 00 is a versatile choice.

Here's a beautiful, pre-owned 2015 Taylor 612ce Grand Concert acoustic/electric in Brown Sugar Stain. It's in mint condition and could easily pass for brand new. No dings, nicks, or scuffs. The frets are in perfect condition and show no wear. With this 2015 model, Taylor has updated the Sitka Spruce Top by using torrefaction, a roasting process that offers better resonance and responsiveness and provides a slightly darker, Cedar-like complexion. A new customized bracing scheme utilizing Adirondack Spruce brings out some new dimensions which produce enhanced warmth, balance, and sustain, while the Maple-specific bracing profile for the backs enhance responsiveness. Cosmetically, this 612 offers a special hand-rubbed Brown Sugar stain on the back and sides, giving it a rich, vintage look without adding extra thickness to the finish. The Abalone rosette is edged with Ebony, and is beautifully complemented by an exclusive Striped Ebony pickguard. Another great feature is the use of protein glues for the bracing and bridge, which optimizes the sound transfer between powertrain components. Includes the original hardshell case.
