❌SOLD❌ Hofner 500/1 ’62 Reissue Violin Bass Burst, 2012

On December 16, 2023 /

Here we have a Hofner 500/1 ’62 Reissue Violin Bass sometimes named the ‘Mersey bass’. It’s very close in design to the 1963 version used by Paul McCartney on more than a few successful recordings and appearances. This bass was built at the Hofner plant in Baiersdorf / Hagenau Germany during 2012 and is in good condition, all original except for a missing pickguard.

Hammertone Deluxe Mandotar Prototype Sunburst, 1990s

On December 15, 2023 /

The Hammertone Deluxe Mandotar is a very interesting instrument. Built in George Furlanetto’s FBass workshop in Hamilton, Ontario and drawing from the 1964 – 1968 Vox Mando Guitar or Octave 12, these are like a solidbody electric 12 string with a capo at the octave fret. The size and layout is much like a mandolin.

On December 14, 2023 /

The M. Sakurai No.8 Cedar Top Classical guitars, indeed the entire line of Masaki Sakurai models, are under-appreciated gems. The set of guitars with labels reading ‘M. Sakurai Supervised by M. Kohno’ are from the period where Masaki Sakurai was still learning the craft from his uncle, Masaru Kohno.

⚌Reduced‼ Collings D-42A Dreadnought Natural, 2007

Combining classic D body construction and ’42’ style trim, this 2007 Collings D-42A dreadnought pairs Adirondack Spruce with Indian Rosewood. This sonic cannon delivers much more than good looks and top quality construction. Now out of production, the Collings D-42A sat at the top of Collings’ ‘Traditional’ line.

⚌Reduced‼ Fairbanks Vega Whyte Laydie No.2 Banjo, 1910

On December 13, 2023 /

Following its original form as an A.C Fairbanks product, the Fairbanks Vega Whyte Laydie featured a natural finish on the maple neck and pot which provided its name. However, the real innovation was the Whyte Ladyie tone ring and bracket band, reducing the number of holes drilled and adding mass to the pot.
