On February 12, 2020 /

The Suhr Classic is a take on the iconic bolt-together guitars pioneered by Leo Fender in the late 1940s to mid 1950s, brilliant designs still dominant today. Here we’re looking at a Suhr Classic Antique model dating to 2017 and built at the Suhr shop in Lake Elsinore, California. It features a vintage-style, six-pivot bridge and SSS configuration with ML pickups (named for Mike Landau).

❌SOLD❌ Rickenbacker 4001FL Fretless Maple Glo 1978

On February 12, 2020 /

Only available as a special order during the 1960s and based closely on the base 4001 model, the Rickenbacker 4001FL was offered from 1968 until the 4001 was discontinued in 1989. The key differences between the 4001 and the Rickenbacker 4001FL are in the fingerboard and binding. Naturally, the bound Padouk fingerboard is fretless, but is not a modified fretted board. Some builders will use a fretted board, filling the slots with veneer, giving visible markings an an aid to intonation.

❌SOLD❌ National Style 97 Squareneck Tricone Surfer Girl Resophonic, 1938

On February 8, 2020 /

Here is a rarity – a National Style 97 Square neck Tricone with the Surfer Girl motif on a sandblasted and enameled nickel plated brass body. These were built in small numbers from 1936 to 1940. By 1941, the materiel demands for the burgeoning war brought production of resophonic guitars to a halt. The ‘B’ prefix in the serial of this guitar is said to first appear in 1938. This National Style 97 likely dates to 1938. This rare model uses a 12-fret square neck on nickel plated brass body, treated with sandblasting to create various scenes, mostly based on Hawaiian imagery. On this guitar, the scene is of woman surfing with a palm tree in the mid field and volcano in the distance.

❌SOLD❌ Taylor 514ce Cedar and Mahogany Steel String, 2016

On February 5, 2020 /

The Taylor 514ce Cedar and Mahogany steel string guitar has been in Taylor’s line since its introduction in 1998. Using a Grand Auditorium body, its pairing of a Western Red Cedar top with Central American Mahogany make it a great choice for fingerstylists. Red Cedar is used on many classical guitars due to its warmth and responsiveness to the dynamic nuances of fingerstyle playing, and is tonally balanced by the articulation, sparkle and midrange presence of the Mahogany sides and back. With playing, Cedar also develops its voice fairly quickly compared to Spruce.
