This is a very fun little 2005 Gibson Blues King. The Blues King is based on the L-00 body style, and is very well suited to fingerstyle blues and ragtime playing styles. Built with a Sitka spruce top and African Bubinga back and sides, it has a warm, even tone with a surprising amount of projected volume.

2011 Martin 000-18 guitar (consignment) SOLD

Here is a very clean 2011 Martin 000-18. The 000-18 is a fairly plain, straightforward, extremely competent guitar and has been produced by Martin since 1921 (except for 1932 and 1933).

A little brighter than rosewood models, the smaller body size adds to comfort and a more balanced tone, without the potential for ‘boominess’ often found with dreadnought guitars.
