Sold and Out of Production:  Breedlove Mandolins: Quartz OF

The Quartz Series from Breedlove has been, and still is, the best American made mandolin in its price point. They not only sound great, but are also very easy to play. Details like radiused fingerboards and generous string spacing make them a very comfortable instrument. Design features such as low-profile neck and tail blocks and a floating bridge extension ensure maximum resonance and tonal response.

Rayco Weissenborn Style Hawaiian Guitar: Master Grade Koa

Master Luthiers Mark Thibeault and Jason Friesen have done it again with another of their magnificent Weissenborn-style beauties ! Spectacular AAA Koa wood throughout, huge tone and sustain and feather light construction. Every time I pick this up I am amazed at how light weight these Rayco guitars are. When played, the guitar feels alive. The entire guitar surface seems to vibrate with equal intensity and I immediately notice how the hollow neck strongly resonates through my legs.
