The Collings 001 Mh is based on a very traditional design that’s been a standard for over a century, and this example is built with Mahogany for the top, back and sides. The fingerboard, head plate and pyramid bridge are Ebony, and there’s a small faux-tortoise pickguard.

Here we have a Gadow Custom DC Set Neck model with a carved Maple top on Mahogany wearing a Sunburst finish, built during 2007 in Durham, North Carolina. This guitar uses familiar and proven formulas, combining a Mahogany back and neck with a carved Maple top. The Double-Cut body shape was originally used by Gibson for Les Paul Junior models in 1958 and the Les Paul Special for 1959, updating the previous single-cutaway, slab-bodied and poorly-selling models.
The Heritage H-575, built at the historic Parsons Street plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan takes visual cues from the classic Gibson ES-175, but there are major differences in construction and materials. When Gibson introduced the ‘ES’ or ‘Electric Spanish’ designation, archtops were the most commonly used models on bandstands because of their superior volume and projection.
Here we have a 2012 Collings OM2H-VN – standing for the Vintage Now neck profile – in a Natural finish and in very good, clean condition. This Collings OM2H-VN is a custom ordered model, and aside from the Vintage Now neck, it also has the “Deep Body” option.
Here we have a Neal Moser V Custom Neck Thru model, sporting an Ivory finish with a black bevelled top edge. This is a very distinctive guitar! This Moser V Custom guitar has a neck-through design with Maple neck and center section, Alder ‘Wings’ and Indian Rosewood, 24-fret fingerboard with side markers.
The Beard R Model Squareneck resophonic guitar is built in the USA to evoke the classic single cone resonator guitars of the 1930s. Paul Beard builds many of the best resophonic guitars available, and works closely with top artists like Jerry Douglas and Mike Auldridge.
