Taylor Custom GS-12 Natural, 2021

On August 4, 2023 /

This Taylor Custom GS-12 shows off the tonal and playability reasons why this company makes some of the best and most popular 12’s. The GS (Grand Symphony) body is large but comfortable, the neck is strong but slim enough to scamper around on, and the sound can easily fill a room.

On August 3, 2023 /

Rare and spectacular, this Gibson L-5CST Custom “George Gobel” model sports a Cherry Red finish and was signed and dated by the late James W Hutchins on October 15th, 1993 at Nashville. From 1959 to 1961, Gibson offered a thinline version of the L-5C – the Gibson L-5CT – as a production model, based on a guitar built for George Gobel, a popular television actor, entertainer and guitarist with his own show running from 1954 to 1960.

Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine Vintage Sunburst, 1997

On June 20, 2023 /

Built from 1995 to 1999 and eventually becoming the ES Les Paul, the Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine blends features from the Les Paul custom into a heavily chambered, dual F-hole model. From a distance, the Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine looks like a nicely appointed Les Paul Custom. Closer examination shows the two F-holes – though some few variants, like the Korina Florentine had solid tops – indicating that the construction is based on a heavily routed Mahogany back with a Maple top.
