Deering Tenbrooks Legacy Banjo, 2004

  Deering Tenbrooks Legacy Banjo, 2004

The Deering Tenbrooks Legacy banjo is a professional grade instrument combining Mahogany for the neck and resonator with Maple for the tone ring. This example dates to 2004, built in Spring Valley California, and has a rather low serial number – 0020. It is in overall good shape, but it has definitely been used as intended and there is moderate fret wear and a few small scuffs around the resonator.

OME Jubilee Open Back Banjo Natural, 2014

  OME Jubilee Open Back Banjo Natural, 2014

The OME Jubilee banjo comes from Boulder, Colorado, where OME has been building – first under the ODE name – since the early 1960’s. This is one of the best banjos of its type we’ve had here for a while, with excellent build quality, great hardware and a very nice inlay set.

Collings 0001 12-Fret Steel String Natural, 2012

  Collings 0001 12-Fret Steel String Natural, 2012

Here is a wonderful Collings 0001 with a 12-fret full 25.5 inch scale neck, built with Sitka Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany. Built during 2012 in Austin and signed by Bill Collings, this guitar is in very good clean condition.  While this guitar is now almost a decade old, it has been very well cared for.  It’s also been owned and played by someone with highly developed skills, and so the guitar has had a chance to develop its frankly impressive voice.

Fender L-Series Stratocaster Refinish Metallic Grey, 1965

   Fender L-Series Stratocaster Refinish Metallic Grey, 1965

We haven’t seen one of these for a while – a Fender L-Series Stratocaster, built during the transition to CBS ownership. While there is technically no ‘L Series’ as such, the term refers to Fender instruments built from 1963 into 1965, using a neck plate stamped with an ‘L’ as the first character of the serial number.

Monty Flying V Korina Guitar Natural, 2020

 Monty Flying V Korina Guitar Natural, 2020

Here is a treat – a Brian Monty Flying V Korina solidbody, hewing closely to the original V built in very small and diminishing numbers in 1958 (81 built) and 1959 (17 built). The Flying V was one of three designs for Ted McCarty, then president of Gibson, by Seth Lover.

Martin M-36 Steel String Guitar Natural, 2012

    Martin M-36 Steel String Guitar Natural, 2012

The Martin M-36 is based on the very successful Martin M, or 0000 ‘Quadruple O’ size body. This is larger than any of the single to triple 0 size bodies, yet smaller than a dreadnought; consequently it is fairly loud with great projection, and has a very evenly represented tone and is very comfortable to play. It’s ideal for solo performers but fits well into ensembles and extremely well into recording situations.
