Here we’re looking at a Sadowsky Metro Jazz-style 4-string bass built during 2012 in Tokyo, Japan. While top end Sadowsky guitars and basses are built in the USA – in Long Island City – the Japanese-built Metro models were launched in 2003.

The Epiphone Texan FT79N – the N indicating a Natural finish on the top rather than Sunburst – was built as a slope shoulder dreadnought from 1958 to 1970 when Epiphone production ceased in the USA. The Epiphone FT79 was originally built from 1941 to 1958 as a square shoulder dreadnought with Walnut back and sides until 1949, and then with laminated Maple until the company was sold to Gibson in 1958.

Here’s a real beauty! This is a Larson Bros Prairie State steel string guitar, likely a Model 425 with a OOO sized body, Adirondack Spruce top paired with Brazilian Rosewood for the sides and back. It is likely that the bridge is a replacement – the original would have had engraved, inlaid stars on each of the bridge ‘wings’. The Larson Brothers, Carl and August, began working for the Robert Maurer guitar company in 1893. In 1900, Maurer decided to retire, and the Larsons and investors purchased the company. Over the years, Carl bought out the investors giving the brothers full control.

Introduced in 1948 and built until 1971, the Gibson A40 was offered as a high quality entry level instrument. This example dates to 1957 and is in overall good condition, plays well and has a bright yet warm tone with plenty of volume and projection. The original fibre case is included, as well as a more recent hard shell case.
Here’s another rarity, a Wildwood Paragon LH, Left Handed 5-String banjo in Maple, built to order in early 2013. The Wildwood Paragon LH relies heavily on Maple, with flamed Maple for the neck, binding, maple laminated rim, and resonator.

Here we have a Collings OM1 Custom, based on a stock OM1 but with a half inch deeper body providing more bass and fuller sound, filling out an already great tone, and a slightly wider fingerboard. This Collings OM1 Custom guitar was built for The Twelfth Fret, with a 4.5 inch body depth and a 12.75 inch nut width being the only differences from the stock OM1.
