Gibson ES-335TDC Cherry Red, 1966

Gibson ES-335TDC Cherry Red, 1966

Here’s a very nice Thinline, Double Pickup, Cherry finish Gibson ES-335TDC, Union Made during 1966 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Thinline concept was introduced in 1955 to produce a more compact hollowbody archtop electric instrument less prone to feedback. For the 1958 model year, this was combined with a solid, very feedback resistant center block to create the revolutionary semi-hollow ES-335 – which also carried Gibson’s new humbucking pickups.

Bourgeois Aged Tone Mahogany D Natural, 2013

Bourgeois Aged Tone Mahogany D Natural, 2013

The Bourgeois Aged Tone Mahogany D takes as its inspiration the pre-WW2 Mahogany bodied dreadnought guitars. The ‘Aged Tone’ refers to the use of an Adirondack Spruce top that has been ‘Torrefied’ to simulate the effects of natural aging on the wood structures, bracing configurations from those periods, and special finishes to replicate the look feel and sound of old lacquer. The Adirondack top shows a wider grain pattern often seen in Adirondack or Red Spruce.

Taylor LKSM Leo Kotke 12 String Signature Model Natural, 1993

Taylor LKSM Leo Kotke 12 String Signature Model Natural,  1993

The Taylor LKSM – the Leo Kottke Signature Model – is now discontinued but is one of the best choices for fast, articulated 12-string guitar styles. Leo Kottke has been closely associated with the 12-string guitar for most of his career, and often played models by Bozo Podunovak, Gibson and Martin. Known for his fast, loud and well articulated playing, Kottke used both thumb and finger picks until the 1980s when tendonitis forced him to stop playing for several years.

Gibson RB-250 Mastertone Banjo Natural, 1977

The Gibson RB-250 Mastertone was the working-musician’s banjo for decades and offers that classic Gibson sound with the “Snap” to the treble attack that only Gibsons have. This is essentially the same banjo as the famous Gibson RB-3 without the Wreath inlay.

Guild Capri CE-100D Archtop Electric Sunburst, 1965

Here we’re looking at a Guild Capri CE-100D from 1965 in overall good condition, looking like it has been used as intended over the years. Built from 1956 until 1982, the Guild Capri CE-100D was a fully hollow body archtop electric with a Florentine cutaway and a pair of pickups. The CE-100D was the Double pickup version of the single-pickup CE-100; at first, Franz pickups were used, then DeArmond, and in 1963 Guild’s new Anti-Hum pickups were fitted.
