❌SOLD❌ Bozo Podunavac Bell Western 12 String Guitar, 1989

❌SOLD❌ Bozo Podunavac Bell Western 12 String Guitar, 1989

Today we have a very rare treat, something that I have heard on recordings, perhaps seen on stage, but never up close. This is a Bozo Podunavic Bell Western 12-string, built in the USA.

Bozo guitars, built by Bozo Podunavac in California or later Florida, are not at all common, but were used by a number of highly influential guitarists. The notable player for me was Leo Kottke, whose incredible skill with the 12-string still astounds all of us here – regardless of how fast and hard he’s playing, every note is clear, clean and audible.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!! Larrivee D-09 Rosewood Dreadnought Guitar, 1996

The Larrivee D-09 follows the pattern of one of the most successful guitar designs of all time – the Dreadnought  or D-body – pioneered by the C F Martin company in the early decades of the 20th century.    Over time, these full bodied guitars became the default body shape, providing full rich bass and midranges with clear highs,  and usually more volume than smaller instruments.

Here is a lovely tenor ukulele built by Kanile’a in Hawaii during 2007. The label identifies it as a Custom T, so the original purchaser specified the woods and materials. The Kanile’a company in Kane’ohe, Hawaii produces some of the nicest ukuleles we see. This Kanile’a Koa Custom T Tenor ukulele is an excellent example of their work.

❌ SOLD ❌ C. F. Martin Custom Shop Size 5 Terz 12 Fret Guitar, 2015

❌ SOLD ❌ C. F. Martin Custom Shop Size 5 Terz 12 Fret Guitar, 2015

Recently a number of Martin Size 5 Terz guitars were built, recreating one of the most popular Romantic designs and the guitar favoured by Marty Robbins. Terz guitars were immensely popular in the early 19th century, and were often paired with full size guitars. The Terz is tuned up a minor third, to G – an equivalent is placing a capo on the third fret.
