⚌Reduced‼ Gibson J-50 ADJ Slope Shoulder Natural, 1968

⚌Reduced‼ Gibson J-50 ADJ Slope Shoulder Natural, 1968

The Gibson J-50 ADJ Slope Shoulder Dreadnought models were produced in tandem with the better known J-45, with the difference being the J-50’s natural vs the J-45’s sunburst top. This sometimes meant that the J-50’s used visually higher grades of Spruce, but the two guitars are otherwise identical.

Bourgeois Aged Tone Mahogany D Natural, 2013

Bourgeois Aged Tone Mahogany D Natural, 2013

The Bourgeois Aged Tone Mahogany D takes as its inspiration the pre-WW2 Mahogany bodied dreadnought guitars. The ‘Aged Tone’ refers to the use of an Adirondack Spruce top that has been ‘Torrefied’ to simulate the effects of natural aging on the wood structures, bracing configurations from those periods, and special finishes to replicate the look feel and sound of old lacquer. The Adirondack top shows a wider grain pattern often seen in Adirondack or Red Spruce.

Taylor LKSM Leo Kotke 12 String Signature Model Natural, 1993

Taylor LKSM Leo Kotke 12 String Signature Model Natural,  1993

The Taylor LKSM – the Leo Kottke Signature Model – is now discontinued but is one of the best choices for fast, articulated 12-string guitar styles. Leo Kottke has been closely associated with the 12-string guitar for most of his career, and often played models by Bozo Podunovak, Gibson and Martin. Known for his fast, loud and well articulated playing, Kottke used both thumb and finger picks until the 1980s when tendonitis forced him to stop playing for several years.
