Acoustic Guitars

This example of this guitar happens to sound absolutely incredible!  It features a solid Sitka spruce top, 3-piece solid Madagascar rosewood back and sides, 1-3/4'' nut width, 545E Geib style hard shell case. 

James Goodall is one of the earliest makers of the acoustic baritone guitar, an instrument happiest when it is tuned C to C instead of the usual E to E.

C.F. Martin & Co. (www.martinguitar.com) announces the introduction of the new Custom Artist Edition guitar: the Martin JSO! SingOut! Pete Seeger 6-string!. The guitar marks the 60th anniversary of Sing Out!, the magazine, songbook publisher and syndicator of traditional music radio shows that Seeger helped found in 1950. 

This truly magnificent and outstanding sounding guitar is made from glorious striped ebony on the back and sides, has bloodwood bindings on top, back and fingerboard; the fingerboard is inlaid with the Art Deco dotmarker pattern. It has what appears to be a high quality Sitka spruce top, that has (unlike ourselves) turned a deep orange and an abalone inlaid soundhole rosette.  NOW ON SALE!  THIS WAS $3088 BUT NOW: 

A guitar arrived at our showroom this morning that opens up the floodgates of fretted instrument lust – and we gotta say, this doesn’t happen very often (not to the jaded curmudgeonly reprobates that we aspire to be).  And do you know what Sinker Mahogany is, mon frère (i.e., my little Belgian French fry)?  

Eastman has done it again – they have come out with another incredible sounding guitar for under a thousand dollars.  Oh sure, you can point to the Adirondack spruce top – go ahead – point!   And yes, in our opinion all guitars should be provisioned  with Adirondack tops when they are born since this gloriously resonant wood makes the type of top that the C F Martin Guitar Company used during their Golden Period of 1934 to 1944 (on their spruce top guitars).

The D-28P features the High Performance Neck found on Martin’s popular Performing Artist series guitars, redesigned to offer a slimmer, faster profile and more comfortable spacing in the first frets and faster action as the player moves up the fingerboard. The bridge spacing has been increased as well to provide more hand comfort when resting on the bridge. The Martin List Price is $3149

John Renbourn’s musical influences range from folk, blues and jazz to early music and classical, and all – separately and in combination – have found a place in the rich musical landscape he has created during his long career. One of the world’s most brilliant fingerstyle guitarists, Renbourn has dazzled, confounded and inspired, whether solo, paired with Bert Jansch or Stefan Grossman or as a member of Pentangle, and he continues to create music of uncommon beauty and depth. 

Designed with Martin’s legendary tone, craftsmanship and playability with extraordinary value.   Solid sapele spruce back and sides, solid Sitka spruce top polished to a high gloss. Tonally, the advanced "hybrid" scalloped X-bracing delivers a powerful punch – clear ringing treble and deep bass – unique to Martin’s 1 Series guitars. The D-1GT offers projection and bass response expected of this Dreadnought body and comes with a hard shell case.

DRS1 Dreadnought marks the return of Martin’s Road Series, which was originally introduced in 2001, designed for working and traveling guitarists on a modest budget, who require their instrument to be durable without giving up the quality of its sound. The top, back and sides are crafted of solid sapele and braced for resonance and projection.

The Martin OM1GT 1 Series Orchestra model is designed with Martin's legendary tone, craftsmanship and playability with extraordinary value. It features solid sapele back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top polished to a high gloss. Tonally, the advanced hybridscalloped X-bracing delivers a powerful punch, clear ringing treble and deep bass - unique to Martin's 1 Series guitars. The OM1GT Orchestra Model produces a tone that is brighter in the midrange, less deep in the bass and clear articulation in all positions.

William Kraus, who uses the logo (in highly stylized abalone) “WK” in which both the W and the K seem to be mating or something, is a maker of extremely fine sounding, beautifully hand-crafted guitars, in the traditional design of the great dreadnoughts of the past. This one, however, exceeds all expectations of excellence and beauty in that it has a Honduran rosewood back, sides and headstock overlay.
