I picked up this beauty from the 2011 MIAC show here in Toronto. What a guitar! Taylor has put a great spin on their Classic electric solidbody model with this comfortable double cutaway design. Like all Taylor guitars, this Classic Double Cutaway features meticulous build quality from top to bottom. You simply won’t find a tighter neck pocket anywhere, the trem is silky smooth, and the fretwork is perfect.

This Silvertone 628 cutaway acoustic is a very cool instrument. It sounds great and looks good – the engraved peghead overlay is exceptionally nice.

There has been some discussion on the hardware used on this banjo. The RB-250 did not come factory in gold but that said, in 1962 Gibson would fill virtually any custom request. The hardware shows none of the pitting typical of re-plated hardware. Also the cost to upgrade after the banjo was built would have been huge so we are going on the theory that this was a custom order. Tailpiece: I found several of these gold-plated tailpieces in the boxes of 1960s Gibson hardware I acquired when Gibson Canada shut down in 1979. So I am assuming they were stock Gibson issue for at least a few of their gold plated banjos, though I’ve never seen any. I gather they were made by Elton but am happy for input from anybody out there who knows more.

With a tone designed to be more mellow and jazzier than the Strat the Jazzmaster wasn’t really embraced by jazz players. It is more commonly associated with surf rock bands like The Ventures and The Fireballs and later experimental rock bands such as Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. This particular example has been stripped of its finish and has newer tuners but is in great overall shape and has a really cool vibe. Comes with original brown hardshell case.
