❌SOLD❌ Epiphone Masterbilt Melody Tenor Guitar Sunburst, 1933

On June 17, 2023 /

The Epiphone Masterbilt Melody Tenor guitar was built from 1931 to 1937 in New York, largely supporting the great banjoist migration of the period. In the late 1920’s banjo players, for a variety of reasons, began to move to guitar-based instruments and the Tenor guitar mapped almost directly to tenor banjos.

This lovely Bacon Day Silver Bell No. 1 tenor banjo dates to February of 1932 at Groton, Connecticut and has had its wooden dowel stick replaced with coordinator rods for better control of the action.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-150 Archtop Electric Refinish Sunburst, 1950

On August 13, 2022 /

The Gibson ES-150 appeared in 1936 as one of the first efforts towards an electric guitar, and became the company’s first successful archtop electric. Previously, Gibson was supplying pickups and amplifiers, but hadn’t offered a guitar with a factory-installed pickup though their competitors were starting to. By 1935, pressure from customers like Montgomery-Ward pushed Gibson into installing pickups on some non-Gibson branded models.
