Gibson ES-335TDC Thinline Cherry Red, 1969

Here is a very nice Gibson ES-335TDC in a classic Cherry finish and the reliable Thinline semi-hollow design, built during 1969 at Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Thinline concept was introduced in 1955 to produce a more compact hollowbody archtop electric instrument less prone to feedback.

The SS Stewart American Princess 5-string open back banjo was built in the 1890’s in Philadelphia, and was aimed towards female players with its compact size and light weight. This wonderful SS Stewart American Princess example is in great condition and does not look at all like it’s over a century old.

Gibson Firebird V Reissue Vintage Sunburst, 2006

Gibson Firebird V Reissue Vintage Sunburst, 2006

 Introduced in 1963, the Gibson Firebird V with its neck-through design was a radical departure from most of the guitars available at the time. The original models were referred to as ‘Reverse’ as the offset body used the opposite orientation as most guitar bodies, particularly Fender’s then-new Offset-body Jazzmaster and Jaguar.

Dave Mills Frailing Banjo 5-String Openback, 2018

This Dave Mills Frailing banjo, built during 2018,  is an open-back style mostly using Rickard components, not surprising as Mills and Rickard are associates. These instruments are pretty straightforward, and this Mills Frailing model uses a cherry-stained Maple neck with Ebony fingerboard.
