❌SOLD❌ Martin & Coupa Guitar, 1840s

On May 13, 2022 /

Here is another rarity – an 1840’s Martin & Coupa guitar, built in Nazareth PA for John Coupa at 385 Broadway (Upstairs!) in New York. It is extraordinary that an instrument like this Martin & Coupa guitar could be in all original and playable condition, complete with its original “coffin” case, over 160 years after its production! To give a little chronological perspective, this instrument would have been delivered to its first owner by stagecoach and riverboat 20 years before the American Civil War.

❌SOLD❌ Russell Lackey LT1 T-Style Cherry, 2022

On May 13, 2022 /

Here we have a Russell Lackey LT1 T-Style guitar, built near Toronto by a former craftsperson at The Twelfth Fret Repair shop. The Russell Lackey LT1 shown here is Russ’s interpretation of a great classic. The LT1 strongly resembles the guitar that inspired it, but with a few changes, feeling that the market didn’t need another vintage reissue.

❌SOLD❌ BC Rich B Double Neck 6/12 Legacy Cherry, 2011

On May 11, 2022 /

This is something you don’t see every day – a BC Rich B Double neck! This example dates to 2011 and is in great original condition.

The BC Rich B Double neck model is based on the 1977 ‘Rich Bich’ design, but expanded to two necks. This uses a neck-through design, with a combination of Mahogany and Nyatoh and perhaps Walnut separating the core from the ‘wings’. The fingerboards are Ebony with the classic ‘cloud’ BC Rich position markers. To retain the compact size of the 12-string headstock, the octave strings feed through ferrules on the back of the head, and the tuners are in the cutaway at the tail block.

SOLD Gibson Les Paul Classic GoldTop, 2017

On May 10, 2022 /

The Gibson Les Paul Classic first appeared in 1990 and with a number of variations and finishes has been a part of the lineup ever since. The GoldTop finish has been around since 1952 as the first and only finish offered on the Les Paul model; this was the case until 1954 with the appearance of the Les Paul Custom in gloss black. Sunburst finishes were not offered on Les Pauls until 1957, paired with Gibson’s new Humbucking pickups.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Custom Black, 1981

On May 7, 2022 /

The Gibson Les Paul Custom in Black is an iconic and aspirational guitar, used in every genre where solidbody models are accepted. When introduced as the ‘Black Beauty’ in 1954, the idea was that it would be appropriate for a guitarist dressed in a tuxedo. It’s stayed at the top of the line, but has been used by punk bands as well.

Martin D-35 Dreadnought Natural, 1971- (No Longer Available)

On May 3, 2022 /

The Martin D-35 Dreadnought first appeared in 1965, partly as a way to use the remaining stock of Brazilian Rosewood sections that were too small for a two-piece back. Drawing from the very successful D bodied Dreadnought, the Martin D-35 was placed between the venerable D-28 and more expensively decorated D-41 and D-45 models.
