Gibson Les Paul Studio Joe Bonamassa Signature Gold Top, 2011

On May 14, 2019 /

As a Studio model, it keeps the core Les Paul design features, but doesn’t have some of the trim – specifically body and neck binding.The Gibson Les Paul Studio Joe Bonamassa Signature starts with the Maple capped Mahogany body and Mahogany set neck that has defined the Les Paul since 1952. The neck profile is a rounded D, 1959-style shape.

Ashley Leanne Classical Guitar, 2015

On May 14, 2019 /

The Ashley Leanne Classical guitar dates to 2015 and is in overall very good condition. It features mostly traditional Spanish classical construction, including a ‘slipper foot’ heel, where the heel block receives two cuts that the sides slot into; the back extends over the bottom of the heel forming a cap. This guitar also has a port on the bass upper side, and the heel construction can be clearly seen through the port.

Yamaha Grand Concert FC10 Flamenco Blanca Guitar, 1983

On May 13, 2019 /

The Yamaha Grand Concert FC10 was part of Yamaha’s efforts to create top quality classical and flamenco guitars, an effort that began in the mid 1960s. At that point, Yamaha arranged for three luthiers – Hiroshi Harada, Hideyuki Ezaki and Toshio Kato, to learn from Spanish master Eduardo Ferrer. Ferrer subsequently travelled repeatedly to Japan to aid in the production setup.

Marc Beneteau OM Cedar and Padauk, 2011

Tags: acoustic, Beneteau, cedar, independent luthiers, OM, steel string

This Marc Beneteau OM was built during 2011 at the Beneteau Guitars shop in St. Thomas, Ontario. Marc has been building since 1974, originally in Ottawa. He is largely self taught, though he’s taken inspiration from Jean Larrivee’s work. Many prominent Canadian builders worked directly for or with Larrivee, but Marc did not, instead taking cues from Larrivee’s influences from classical guitar building, which produces a result quite different from the Martin – Gibson building styles.
