Breedlove Journey Concert LTD Brazilian Natural, 2016

On September 8, 2021 /

Built as number 21 of 50, this exceptional Breedlove Journey Concert steel string guitar pairs a Sitka Spruce top with fully documented Brazilian Rosewood for the sides and back. Some years ago, Breedlove found and purchased a relatively large stock of fully documented and hence ‘legal’ Brazilian Rosewood from a vendor in Spain. For 2016, it was decided to make two limited edition models, in a run of 50 guitars each, using some of this material and these were sold with the required CITES documentation.

Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker Manhattan Midnight, 2014

On July 6, 2021 /

The Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker appeared in 2014 as a 120th Anniversary model – a US made, reasonably priced high quality carved-top guitar with a solid history behind the names. The Melody Maker appeared in 1959 and built until 1971 as an entry level, thin slab Mahogany bodied single cutaway model, with one or two single coil pickups and a narrow headstock. The neck was Mahogany with a Rosewood fingerboard. For 1961, a second cutaway was added, but it wasn’t until 1967 that the Melody Maker got the ‘SG’ body shape.

SOLD‼ Gibson Super 400 Acoustic Archtop Sunburst, 1937

On June 8, 2021 /

The Gibson Super 400 strode above most others when giant archtops roamed the earth, and is still one of the largest production guitars made. Making its introduction in 1934 as the ‘Super L-5 Deluxe’, the non-cutaway model was quickly joined by a cutaway model, initially named the Super 400 P for ‘Premiere’. The ‘400’ designation was originally a reference to the price. These were top of the line for acoustic archtop guitars, and were played by many top artists – Merle Travis being one.

Gibson L1 Robert Johnson Steel String Sunburst, 2005

On May 21, 2021 /

Based on the very popular L-1 model launched in 1926, the Gibson L1 Robert Johnson reproduces the look, feel and most importantly the sound of a guitar used by the legendary blues guitarist. The Gibson L1 was introduced in 1902 and built as an arched top, round soundhole model until 1925. In 1926, it was re-introduced as a flat top, along with the very similar L-0 Mahogany top model. The L-1 was built until 1937, while the L-0 was dropped in 1933 and then re-introduced in 1937 and built until 1942 (but with a Spruce top). Both models were replaced by the J-45.
