Evan Kingma Flamenco Guitar, Kauri 2018

On January 14, 2021 /

This is a very special Evan Kingma flamenco guitar, with the sides and back from ancient Kauri wood sourced from New Zealand, and by Ancient, we mean thirty to fifty thousand years old. This guitar is numbered as 10, and named ‘Pink Mosque 3’.

Taylor T5Z Classic Mahogany, 2019

On January 13, 2021 /

The Taylor T5Z Classic is a scaled down version of the successful T5 hybrid acoustic-electric models introduced in 2005 and used on many stages. These models were created to meet the needs of ‘downsizing’ touring guitarists who could no longer carry as many guitars as they wanted. Here we’re looking at a Taylor T5Z Classic dating to May 10, 2019 and built at the Taylor shop in El Cajon, California.

Gibson ES335 Dot Thinline Heritage Cherry, 2012

On January 10, 2021 /

The Gibson ES335 Dot reissue draws from the groundbreaking 1958 ES-335 that blended archtop and solidbody guitar styles. Gaining immediate acceptance by players in many genres, this model has been in production continuously since its introduction. Here we’re looking at what looks like a ‘Plain Top’ version of the Gibson ES335 Dot, built at the now-closed Gibson Memphis plant and dating to June 7, 2012. In terms of construction and hardware, these are identical to the much more expensive ‘Figured Top’ models; the difference is the figuring on the Maple laminates used for the top, sides and back.

Gibson ES335 Satin Memphis Cherry, 2014

On January 9, 2021 /

The Gibson ES335 Satin was built in the now-closed Memphis plant as more affordable 335 with all the trimmings, traditional quality and sound. It features the same 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple body and Mahogany neck construction as higher-priced models. The same hardware is used, which in 2014 meant a pair of ’57 Classic pickups – in 2015, Burst Buckers were adopted. Dating to February 11 2014 and built in Memphis, this Gibson ES335 Satin is in very good condition with very light wear.

Taylor LKSM Leo Kottke Signature Model 12 String Natural, 2000

On January 7, 2021 /

The Taylor LKSM – the Leo Kottke Signature Model – is now discontinued but is one of the best choices for fast, articulated 12-string guitar styles. Based on a Jumbo body with an Venetian cutaway, the Taylor LKSM pairs a Sitka Spruce top with Tropical Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks and neck. The fingerboard and bridge are Ebony, with Indian Rosewood for the head plate and body binding. The tuners here are gold-plated Grover mini Rot0-Matics, though the specs call for Taylor branded tuners. As stock, this is a fully acoustic model with no electronics.
