Nechville Leon Hunt Phantom Flame Maple, 2013 / *No Longer Available*

Nechville Leon Hunt Phantom Flame Maple, 2013 / *No Longer Available*

The Nechville Leon Hunt Phantom Model, while not a ‘formal’ Nechville model, is based on the Nechville Phantom XXV (Phantom 25). It uses all the Nechville Phantom elements plus very highly figured maple for the neck and resonator (rather than the stock figured walnut construction), with a slight amber tint to the finish. These spectacular banjos are based closely on the Nechville banjo made for Leon Hunt.

Gibson Memphis ES-339s Compact Thinline Tobacco Burst, 2018

  Gibson Memphis ES-339s Compact Thinline Tobacco Burst, 2018

There’s a small mystery around this Gibson Memphis ES-339s Compact Thinline – the meaning of the ‘s’ after the ES-339 on the label. A first suspicion is to indicate a Spruce top, but that’s not the case here. Built like its full sized relatives ES-335, the Gibson Memphis ES-339s uses scaled-down body dimensions but full neck dimensions and scale length.

J Perfecto Rubio Estudio Classical Natural, 2014

J Perfecto Rubio Estudio Classical Natural, 2014

Here is an unusual item! Built during 2014 in Guanajuato, Mexico, this is a J Perfecto Rubio Estudio model; the builder is a cousin of famed luthier German Vazquez Rubio of Los Angeles, who worked for Bernardo Rico when B C Rich models were new.  We do not see many Mexican-built guitars in Canada, and in that number, high quality models like this are even rarer.

Some of the red-gold colouring on the metal components has light tarnish and that’s it. Aside from that, this guitar is as-new.
