1955 Gibson J-185 Sunburst (consignment) SOLD

1955 Gibson J-185 Sunburst (consignment)  SOLD

Here is a lovely 1955 Gibson J-185 Sunburst. Introduced in 1951 as a smaller alternative to the big Super Jumbo models like the J-200, the J-185 offers similar aesthetics (though it’s nowhere near as decorated!) with a shorter scale length (24.75 inch, as with the J-35 and most Gibson electrics).

1959 Gibson J-200 Sunburst No Longer Availalble

1959 Gibson J-200 Sunburst No Longer Availalble

Here’s a wonderful 1959 Gibson J-200 Sunburst.

Gibson introduced the J-200 in 1938 as the top of the line. It was originally named the Super Jumbo, then in 1939 renamed the Super Jumbo 200, and in 1955 got its current name. Because of its position at the top end of Gibson’s line, production quantities have never been high.

This example is in excellent structural condition and is very clean and glossy. It’s had some maintenance over the years, including a refret, and is ready for many more years of use.

2011 Martin 000-18 guitar (consignment) SOLD

2011 Martin 000-18 guitar (consignment) SOLD

Here is a very clean 2011 Martin 000-18. The 000-18 is a fairly plain, straightforward, extremely competent guitar and has been produced by Martin since 1921 (except for 1932 and 1933).

A little brighter than rosewood models, the smaller body size adds to comfort and a more balanced tone, without the potential for ‘boominess’ often found with dreadnought guitars.

New Shop Worn Ramirez model 2NE SOLD

New Shop Worn Ramirez model 2NE. Built in late 2012, this guitar is virtually unplayed and comes with full warranty.
A customer bopped the top with another guitar last week and put two chips in the top near the edge of the upper bout. They are filled with fresh finish, so the top is protected, but it is not invisible.
