Fender 62 Reissue Jazz Bass Sunburst, 1982

On March 14, 2022 /

This Fender 62 Reissue Jazz Bass Sunburst was built during 1982 in Fullerton, California and looking like it was used as intended. With a neck date of April 1982, this Fender 62 Reissue Jazz Bass is an early effort to capture the original style of the Jazz Bass. The original models were introduced in 1960 as an attempt to capture the rest of the professional bass player market that hadn’t migrated to the Precision Bass.

Takamine LTD 2012C Michi Black, 2012

On March 12, 2022 /

The nylon string Takamine LTD 2021C ‘Michi’ was one of the 2012 limited edition models from Takamine, paired with a steel-string version. ‘Michi’ translates to ‘Path’ or ‘Road’, and the intention was to commemorate Takamine’s 50th anniversary. The Takamine LTD 2021C ‘Michi’ model is unusual in a number of ways. It is a long-scale – 660mm or just shy of 25 inches – nylon string guitar with solid Spruce top and solid Indian Rosewood for the bridge and back (Laminate for the sides), with Mahogany for the body blocks and neck and Ebony fingerboard.

Fender Custom Classic Stratocaster, Standard Neck 2005/2013

On March 12, 2022 /

This Fender Custom Classic Stratocaster is a bit of an odd duck but exhibits one of Leo Fender’s original design intentions around the bolt-on neck. When putting together what became the Telecaster as an instrument to be manufactured, he realized that the neck joints (usually dovetails or tenons) found on virtually all guitars required significant effort and cost to create, assemble and service.

Martin D-41 Dreadnought Natural, 2000

On March 10, 2022 /

Here we have a fairly rare item; though the Martin D-41 is a production model, they are not common and delivery times for new models can be lengthy. This example dates to August of 2000 and was built at Nazareth, PA.
The Martin D-41 is based on the classic, proven square-shouldered Martin Dreadnought design, and carries the ’41’ grade appointments- abalone for the purfling around the soundhole and top but not the fingerboard tag, C. F. Martin logo and hexagonal position markers.

Guild X79 Skyhawk White, 1984

On March 9, 2022 /

Here we have a fairly rare bird – the Guild X79 Skyhawk in white, produced in Westerly Rhode Island from 1981 to 1986, this one dating to 1984. The construction of this model is simple – the body and set neck are Mahogany, with an un-bound, 24-fret Ebony fingerboard. Those last few frets were very rare at the time!

Taylor 514ce-N Crossover Cutaway Natural, 2012

On March 9, 2022 /

The Taylor 514ce-N, now discontinued, was a ‘crossover’ instrument, aimed at delivering the tone and touch response of nylon strings to the steel string player. Typically, crossover guitars have a cutaway body, narrower crowned fingerboards, pickup and preamp systems, and lower action than concert-style classical models. Some models have ‘thinline’ bodies as the volume produced by the body is exceeded by a supporting sound system.
