❌SOLD❌ Santa Cruz OM-PW Pre War Style Guitar, 2004

❌SOLD❌  Santa Cruz OM-PW Pre War Style Guitar, 2004

Following in the traditions of American guitar building, the Santa Cruz OM-PW – the PW stands for ‘Pre War’ – delivers vintage style tone and playability. The OM-PW design dates back to the end of the 1920’s when the Martin Guitar Company introduced the Orchestra Model or OM. Very similar to the ‘OOO’ model, the key difference is in the scale length. The OM scale is over 25 inches, usually the same as the Dreadnought models, while the ‘OOO’ scale length is typically around 24.9 inches. Otherwise the bodies are the same.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul R9 'Real Feel' 16 of 25, Burst 2003

This Gibson Les Paul R9 ‘Real Feel’ very rare instrument is in very good condition, with light wear.

❌SOLD❌ Whyte Laydie Style Banjo Unknown Builder, 1980s

❌SOLD❌ Whyte Laydie Style Banjo Unknown Builder, 1980s

The originals of the Whyte Laydie style banjos were made by the Fairbanks company around the turn of the 20th century, with a particular type of tone ring. The Whyte Laydie tone ring is a scalloped brass ring with a steel tone hoop, which provides higher volume, sustain and ‘ringing’ tone. A C Fairbanks was a large musical instrument manufacturer in Boston, but in 1904 suffered a devastating workshop fire, for which they were under insured.

❌SOLD❌ Martin D41 Steel String Dreadnought Guitar 2008

❌SOLD❌ Martin D41 Steel String Dreadnought Guitar 2008

The Martin D41 appeared in 1969 as a midpoint between the standard D-28 and the top of the line D-45 dreadnought models. Here we have a very nice Martin D41 built during 2008 at the Martin plant in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. It has one one small ding in the top but otherwise is in good overall shape. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is starting to sink, which is to be expected on a guitar now 11 years old.
