This is a visually interesting Japanese-made Bass IV from 1967. Six-string basses did not really catch on in this format but there are a few examples, like this, around.

This is a lovely guitar by Linda Manzer, built in 1980 in Toronto. It’s been played – as it should be! – and is in good shape. It speaks very well with clear, articulated trebles and a full yet not overwhelming bass. The inlay is very well executed, and all around this is a wonderful instrument.

Gibson mandolins have been unavailable for a couple of years now, and this Gibson F-5G mandolin is the very first we’ve seen since the Nashville Floods. Built in the Nashville custom shop, this shows all the classic lines and has the tone that’s made the F-5 the reference mandolin.

Here is the last of the custom build Taylor guitars for the 35th anniversary of the Twelfth Fret. I had the chance to hand select the wood sets for this guitar and pick all of the specifications at the Taylor factory and I have to tell you it is a great feeling when an idea in your head turns out to be such a wonderful looking and sounding guitar! When putting together a custom guitar I really like clean lines, beautiful wood sets and subtle elegant details and this guitar really hits the mark.The Grand Symphony body with a mahogany and sitka wood pairing provides a classic warm and full tone with plenty of midrange, bass and Taylor’s trade mark treble sparkle!
