❌SOLD❌  Samick by S. Yairi S7 Steel String Natural, 1989

This is an unusual piece – a 1989 Samick by S. Yairi S7 Steel String guitar with Cedar top and Indian Rosewood back and sides. While it’s an interesting and high quality instrument, it also illustrates a point in the history of guitar building in Japan, Korea — and Northern Ireland. Shown here is a Samick by S. Yairi S7 model dated to June 1989. This cedar topped, Rosewood bodied guitar has many features carried from Yairi’s then-recent contract work with George Lowden.

Taylor Custom GS-12 Natural, 2021

This Taylor Custom GS-12 shows off the tonal and playability reasons why this company makes some of the best and most popular 12’s. The GS (Grand Symphony) body is large but comfortable, the neck is strong but slim enough to scamper around on, and the sound can easily fill a room.

❌SOLD❌ Epiphone FT45N Cortez Natural, 1964

❌SOLD❌ Epiphone FT45N Cortez Natural, 1964

Built at the Gibson Kalamazoo plant, the natural-finish Epiphone FT45N Cortez was produced from 1962 to 1969, but it first appeared with a sunburst in 1958. The Epiphone FT45N Cortez was very similar to some Gibson models, particularly the LG-2 (sunburst top) and LG-3 (natural top), which in 1962 became the sunburst B25, and in 1963 the natural B25N. They were built in the same plant and likely on identical forms.
