Here’s a very nice, well preserved long scale Larrivee Classical Guitar built during 1975 in Toronto, in one of the last locations before the growing company moved to Victoria B.C. This Jean Larrivee classical guitar features a Sitka Spruce top paired with Indian Rosewood for the back, sides, head plate and bridge.

Here we have a Fender Mustang Bass Fretless Conversion in Mocha, sometimes called Walnut, finish, built during 1975 at Fullerton California, about half way through the CBS ownership of Fender. Construction and materials followed the usual Fender pattern of the time, pairing an Alder body with a Rosewood-capped Maple neck.
Here we’re looking at a Gibson Style A ‘Snakehead’ Black-top mandolin in A-1 trim from 1927 in overall good and largely original condition. The ‘Snakehead’ term refers to the tapered headstock, an innovation by Lloyd Loar that reduced string friction at the nut. ‘Snakehead’ models were built from 1923 to 1927.
This PRS SC-245 10 Top in dark cherry sunburst is a thing of beauty, in very good clean and original condition. The SC-245 model has been in and out of production twice, from 2007 to 2009 and then 2013 to 2016.
Here we’re looking at a first-year PRS SC-245 10 Top, built during 2007 in Stevensville, Maryland. Based on the Singlecut body design, this guitar has a spectacular, highly figured bookmatched Quilted Maple top on a Mahogany back.
The Ramirez Model 1a Tradicional, seen here with a Red Cedar top, has been a benchmark of top quality classical and flamenco guitars for over half a century. The 1a designation technically refers to the quality of the materials and workmanship, but has become associated with the Tradicional model.
Here’s a real beauty – built from 1954 to 1958, the Gretsch Streamliner 6189 was a single pickup version of the 6120. This Gretsch Streamliner 6189 sports the two-tone Bamboo Yellow top and Copper Mist finish and dates to 1957. For the 1957 model year, the headstock changed to remove the vertical ‘Electromatic’ logo and the ‘G-Arrow’ volume and tone control knobs for the deArmond DynaSonic pickup.
