The Collings MF is a visually simplified yet extremely high quality instrument, based on the classic F style carved top and back mandolins from the early years of the Twentieth Century. Building in Austin, Texas, Collings produces very well built guitars and mandolins, and their nitrocellulose lacquer finish quality is second to none.

Bourgeois Mahogany D Aged Tone Natural, 2013 – (No Longer Available)

On January 16, 2023   /    
Bourgeois Mahogany D Aged Tone Natural, 2013 - (No Longer Available)

The Bourgeois Mahogany D is a master luthier’s take on the venerable D-18 pairing of Adirondack Spruce with Mahogany back, sides and neck, and the Aged Tone Spruce gives it an extra sparkle and depth. Adirondack Spruce has a slightly wider grain structure compared to Sitka, but is still extremely strong and is reputed to have somewhat more ‘headroom’ when played aggressively, as might sometimes occur in a Bluegrass or Country context.

❌SOLD❌ Larson Bros Prairie State Steel String Brazilian Natural, 1930s

On January 12, 2023   /    
❌SOLD❌ Larson Bros Prairie State Steel String Brazilian Natural, 1930s

Here’s a real beauty! This is a Larson Bros Prairie State steel string guitar, likely a Model 425 with a OOO sized body, Adirondack Spruce top paired with Brazilian Rosewood for the sides and back. It is likely that the bridge is a replacement – the original would have had engraved, inlaid stars on each of the bridge ‘wings’. The Larson Brothers, Carl and August, began working for the Robert Maurer guitar company in 1893. In 1900, Maurer decided to retire, and the Larsons and investors purchased the company. Over the years, Carl bought out the investors giving the brothers full control.
