Gadow Nashville Butterscotch Blonde, 2007

  Gadow Nashville Butterscotch Blonde, 2007

The Gadow Nashville draws from the well-proven T-style guitar, using many basic design elements but with a distinctive new form. The Nashville has a compact, two-pickup layout with a tapered 3-per-side headstock providing gentle angles from the nut to tuners. Built during 2007 in Durham, NC, this Gadow Nashville features an Ash body with contrasting fill and a very nice Butterscotch Blonde finish.

Gibson Les Paul Signature Thinline Gold Top, 1973

Gibson Les Paul Signature Thinline Gold Top, 1973

Introduced during 1973 and built until 1979 – the Norlin era – the Gibson Les Paul Signature Thinline Gold Top, is a rarity, and as a guitar has never been re-issued in any form. We have seen in-person one other example, during the 1980s, in The Twelfth Fret repair shop. Approximately 1,400 Gold Top models were built, and under 100 in Sunburst. It was also available as a bass. This model uses the construction of an ES-335, but its asymmetrical body has approximately the top half of a 335 and the bottom half of a Les Paul.

BC Rich Bich Supreme Maple Natural, 1995

  BC Rich Bich Supreme Maple Natural, 1995

Designed by Neal Moser while Bernardo Rico was out of the country, the BC Rich Bich first appeared in the 1976 catalog as a 10-string model. Like most other BC Rich models of the time, the Bich used a neck-through design with ‘wings’ added to provide the body shape for the center neck-body section. The BC Rich Bich Supreme seen here is in great condition with very little wear.

Gibson Les Paul Special Cherry, 2010

  Gibson Les Paul Special Cherry, 2010

The Gibson Les Paul Special first appeared in 1955, as the fourth version of the now-classic model. The first was the 1952 Gold-Top Les Paul, which was revised in 1953 and 1954 to allow for a steeper neck angle and the introduction of first a stop-bar bridge and then the Tune-O-Matic and stop tailpiece combination.

Here is a rarity – a neck-through Washburn Falcon Wing with Indian Rosewood top, built in Japan during 1980. The ‘Wing’ series was introduced in 1978 as Washburn’s entry into electric guitars, and this model was built until 1982. This example appears to be in good, largely original condition.
