Forget everything you thought you knew about Carbon Fiber instruments. McPherson's Carbon Series guitars sound amazing, and are built like tanks. The fragility of a wood guitar is a distant memory. The Touring model is a 3/4 size carbon-fiber masterpiece that packs the best of McPherson engineering into a road-worthy all-star. It's a rugged performer that stands up to the most demanding musician's needs.

Here's a cool guitar. A really cool guitar. A true one of a kind. We are offering a 1981 Mossman Guitar Golden Era model custom made for Bob Shane by Stuart Mossman to commemorate 25 years of the The Kingston Trio. This guitar was a collaborative effort between Bob and Stuart Mossman. Bob personally selected the Brazilian rosewood and spruce top from Mossman's private stash, (Remember the word "stash"...you'll understand in a minute). Bob played this guitar for three years on the road before he retired it. Kingston Trio was the the preeminent folk band in the early sixties and spearheaded the massive, folk boom. These guys are the Beatles of folk music. This is a fantastic guitar and a great piece of American music history.

There is a video on Youtube of Roy Smeck playing the ukulele, that is the most awesome thing in the world. He plays it to death, it is mind boggling. You should check it out. Here we have a Silvertone Baritone Uke made by the Harmony Company in the 1950's. Sear's brand name was Silvertone, and they contracted guitar companies to build instruments for them. This was built in Chicago at the Harmony factory. It shows some wear, the main problem is the binding is deteriorating. It can be replaced or you can play it as is. It plays well, the frets are good and the action is fine. There aren't any cracks or other problems. It has a good looking non-original tweed hard case. The top portion of the case looks like it was partially crushed but still functions and protects the instrument.

"Un objeto de gran belleza"  That's a beautiful Spanish phrase isn't it? It means, "An object of great beauty". I can't think of anything that describes this guitar more eloquently and accurately. Where do I begin? This stunning instrument is a work of art that also happens to be an incredible guitar. It has a wonderful tone thanks in part to the Aged Tone Adirondack Top. Of course, the Brazilian Rosewood back and sides doesn't hurt either. This is a presentation model, like the beautiful presentation grade guitars and banjos made by the great instrument makers in the early 1900's. Instruments that were designed to represent the penultimate of the maker's art. The Bourgeois L-DBO-Presentation is that and more. This is as good as it gets, my friends.

This vintage Pre-War 1939 Martin D-18 acoustic guitar not only has more mojo than any guitar we have in the shop right now, it's also one of the best sounding. Serial number #73062. Owned by a single family since 1940, when it was bought by our customer's father at a pawn shop on historic Beale Street here in Memphis, TN. Still has its original hard-case. It was his daily player until he passed away, and has sat in a closet for the last couple of years. It has aged and opened up with a sound that only a guitar that's been played for 78 years could.
