❌SOLD❌  C F Martin 000-18 Steel String Acoustic Guitar, 1956

The C F Martin 000-18 is one of the classic American guitars, used by countless players since its introduction in 1908, 110 years ago. The design has undergone many changes but the 000-18 remains a very versatile instrument. The well-worn example seen here dates to 1956 and was built at the C F Martin facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. It’s built with a spruce top, mahogany for the sides, back, and neck, with rosewood for the fingerboard, bridge and headplate.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-345 TD Left Hand Conversion Refinish, 1979

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-345 TD Left Hand Conversion Refinish, 1979

The Gibson ES-345 TD is the mid level in the thinline ES series, but sometimes it has been hard to find a left handed version. Consequently, players take various approaches to accomodate the orientation, from simply adapting technique to flipping the guitar over. Here, the controls were moved to the other side of the top and the bridge shifted to intonate properly.

❌ SOLD ❌ Eastman E20D-SB Dreadnought Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 2005

❌ SOLD ❌ Eastman E20D-SB Dreadnought Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 2005

The Eastman E20D is the less decorated cousin to the Eastman E40D we posted recently, but even without the decorations it’s an impressive and classy guitar.
This example was built at the Eastman plant in China during 2005 and has been both played in and well looked after. It’s set up for bluegrass use, meaning that the action is a little higher for spirited playing, competing with other percussively loud instruments like banjos and mandolins.

❌ SOLD ❌ Gibson CS-336 F Figured Thinline Archtop Electric Guitar Cherry, 2004

While it has strong visual similarities to the popular ES-339, the Gibson CS-336 has significant differences in construction. Instead of using separate materials for the top, back and sides, the CS-336 has back and sides carved from a single block of mahogany.

❌ SOLD ❌  Eastman E40D-SB Dreadnought Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 2017

Taking design cues from the Martin D-42 dreadnought, the Eastman E40D shows the lines and visual features of the most successful guitars in a natural or sunburst top dreadnought. It’s well decorated, but not overly so and makes for a great sounding, tasteful and classy instrument.
