Gibson
J-185 12-string 2001 The
12-string version of one of Gibson's more historic models. Smaller than a

sides/back, rosewood board with parallelogram inlays, and the Iron Cross inlays

Gibson
L-OO Blues King 2004 A nice small bodied Gibson has arrived at

finish, this mahogany
bodied guitar has simple appointments. Clear strong trebles combined with

better than this finger picking marvel. EXC OGB $1395.
Gibson
Nick Lucas Historic Collection 2004 In
Gibson's rich history, the Nick Lucas Special was considered the company's first
artist/signature model. It was different from a lot of guitars of that era
because Mr. Lucas had considerable input in it's design. The small maple
body combined with a deeper than normal depth was comfortable to play standing
up and suited the artist's flat picking technique. This version of the
Special used figured maple sides/back, solid spruce top, a 14 fret neck,
multi-ply binding, and a dark sunburst finish. EXC OHSC $2295.
Gibson
Original Jumbo 2003 A

Martin that makes you think, "Oh, the stories this old guitar could
tell..." This is an exceptionally fine example of a early 1950s OOO
with Brazilian rosewood back/sides. No cracks, some fine scratches, some
fine finish checking. I'll just leave you with some photos and you can
drool over this one! Very few OOOs were made during this time period,
compared to the more popular D size. EXC HSC $15,000.
Martin
OM-40LE 1994 A tobacco
sunbursted beauty that features double abalone
purfling/sound hole ring.

Kamaka
Custom 10-string Tiple 1995 A
lot of people don't realize that Kamaka Ukuleles did quite a lot of custom work,
aside from the regular production of their fine Hawaiian koa ukuleles.
This example was built to the specifications of a local musician. The
tiple (pronounced "tee-play") originated in Latin America and
traditionally have 4, 5 or 12 strings (tuned C E A D). A ten string
version was built by the C.F. Martin Company and was tuned almost like an
ukulele (A D F# B). This has a bell shaped concert sized body with highly
figured Hawaiian koa wood sides/back with a solid spruce top. The slotted
head stock has the "double K" decal logo with mini Schaller tuning
machines and ebony buttons. EXC HSC $4995.

Gibson
BU-1 Banjo Ukulele 1920s Back
in the day, the banjo was the predominant soloist instrument of it's time.
But when the guitar started to be featured more and more, many banjo
players had to either play guitar or not get any work. Banjo manufacturers
also faced declining sales, so they had to do something with all those leftover
banjo parts. This example from Gibson features a 6 inch open back
design. Someone at one time painted a cameo style portrait of a woman on
the head. Not in particularly great shape, but historically
interesting. GC
NC $295.

pickup. EXC- OHSC $2295.

Fishman
Acoustic Pro/Acoustic Monitor Amplifiers 1999 The
Acoustic Boom of the 90s spurred manufacturers to push the envelope of
technology to create new products to meet the needs of the acoustic
performer. The Fishman company entered the acoustic amp market and created
the Acoustic Pro. A three channel, 270 watt mighty mite with pristine
digital effects, and many professional
features that make life on the road a little easier to deal with.
Coupled with the 270 watt Acoustic Monitor, you had the ultimate PA system for
the solo acoustic guitarist. The Acoustic Pro pair retailed close to $3500
when it was brand new. I'm selling the pair together with one gig
bag. EXC $1495.

package. VGC NC $595.
