Built during 1962 in Reisbach Bavaria, this beautiful Hermann Hauser II #716 classical guitar is a wonderful instrument in good condition. It’s hard to overstate the influence Hermann Hauser Senior and his son Hermann Hauser II had on the development of the classical guitar.

The Gibson R8 Les Paul Standard is a faithful re-creation of the early, legendary Burst models that featured the then-newly invented humbucking pickups. Introduced in late 1957, these new ‘Standard’ models also replaced the original metallic gold top finish with a sunburst. The Les Paul Custom also carried the new hardware, but kept its black finish and gold hardware.
The McSpadden Mountain Dulcimer Company of Arkansas made their first mountain dulcimer in 1962. The Mountain dulcimer has been popular on the folk scene for many decades. We have just started to detect a renewed interest in this easy-to-play historic instrument and have imported an exceptional quality American hand made example that features solid Walnut construction with geared tuners, heart shaped sound holes and a carved scroll peghead!
The Gibson Les Paul Pro Deluxe was built from 1978 to 1982 and blended features of several previous Les Paul models. Based on the Les Paul Deluxe, the Pro Deluxe had P-90’s in place of mini-humbuckers, a Maple neck and Ebony fingerboard with trapezoidal position markers.
Introduced in 2003 and built at the Nashville Tennessee shop, the Gibson Les Paul Supreme is a high-end take on the classic design and features carved, highly figured Maple top and back. The construction of the Gibson Les Paul Supreme differs from the standard Les Paul though it uses the same basic materials as the Les Paul Custom. The carved top and back set are bookmatched, highly flamed Maple, on either side of a chambered Mahogany core
Introduced in 2013 at the winter NAMM show, the Godin Montreal Premiere HT has a thin trestle-braced arched top body and is ideal for jazz players. This Godin Montreal Premiere HT example is in very good, clean condition, dates to the first months of 2016 and was built at the Godin shops in La Patrie, Quebec with a mixture of domestic and imported woods. The top, back and sides are locally sourced Wild Cherry laminate with a Trestle or ML bracing system that supports and damps the body while reducing weight, and provides anchor points for the stop tailpiece.
