Martin D-42 Purple Martin Dreadnought #38 of 50, 2018

On January 10, 2022 /

Here is a spectacular rarity – the Martin D-42 Purple Martin, #38 of 50 built during 2018 and featuring a fantastic inlay set. Based on the classic Dreadnought design and pairing a bearclaw-figured Englemann Spruce top with Katalox for the sides and back, this is an example of Martin’s work at its finest. Katalox, sometimes known as ‘Mexican Royal Ebony’ and formally named ‘Swartzia cubensis’, is a hardwood sourced from southern Mexico to northern South America.

Fender 56/59 Stratocaster Rosewood Neck Sunburst

On January 10, 2022 /

When Leo Fender first came up with the revolutionary bolt-together design that became the Telecaster, he considered serviceability and repairability. A bolt-on neck is easy to replace should it become damaged or excessively worn. Over the years, players have used this design feature to adapt instruments to their own requirements.

EVH Red Stripe, 2013

On January 10, 2022 /

Instantly recognizable, the EVH Red Stripe draws from the guitar the late Eddie Van Halen used on his breakthrough recordings and performances. The original instrument was constructed from an unfinished body and neck set by Boogie Bodies, and added a used Fender Stratocaster trem and Gibson humbucker – plus the highly distinctive paint scheme that was immediately copied by many players.

Deering Tenbrooks Legacy Banjo, 2004

On January 9, 2022 /

The Deering Tenbrooks Legacy banjo is a professional grade instrument combining Mahogany for the neck and resonator with Maple for the tone ring. This example dates to 2004, built in Spring Valley California, and has a rather low serial number – 0020. It is in overall good shape, but it has definitely been used as intended and there is moderate fret wear and a few small scuffs around the resonator.
