This 2009 Thomas Ribbecke Halfling archtop guitar was built especially for the 2009 Montreal Guitar Show, as an entry into the Red Collection grouping. It’s built with a carved Spruce top, carved Spalted Flame Maple back and matching sides, and Maple neck with an unbound Ebony fingerboard. The neck is a multi-scale with the center of its length being about 26 inches. There’s a large round soundhole on the top located on the upper bass bout next to the fingerboard and Bartolini pickup. Ebony is used for other components including the bridge, pickguard, tailpiece and truss rod cover. Mother of Pearl is used for the headstock Ribbecke and Halfling logos.

The Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster, built since 1991, honors one of the more innovative and versatile rock guitarists. Jeff Beck has been working since the early 1960s and has appeared on countless stages and recordings.
Drawing from a standard model, the Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster features an Alder body and Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard. However, in the interests of stage performance and tuning stability, this model also features locking (Sperzel) tuners, an LSR Roller nut, two-point trem and hot Noiseless pickups.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard is one of the most recognizable guitars in the world, particularly when it carries the Cherry sunburst finish. Introduced in 1952 as Gibson’s response to rapidly rising interest in the electric guitar, especially models that would not feed back with rising stage volumes. Here we’re looking at a Gibson Les Paul Standard with meaningful weight relief, built at the Gibson plant in Nashville and dating to April 22nd, 2009.
