C. F. Martin 000-28 Steel String Guitar, 2006

On September 26, 2018 /

Overall, this C.F. Martin 000-28 Steel String guitar is in very nice condition, with minor wear. The finish doesn’t have any significant scratches, just very light scuffing that would polish well. Fret wear is light to moderate, and there’s plenty of material for a light fret dress to make them look new. The guitar has been played, but well cared for. This body style is tonally much more even than the big D body Dreadnoughts, which tend to be weighted towards bass.

Gibson RB-250 Banjo Mahogany, 1998

On September 26, 2018 /

This Gibson RB-250 example dates to 1998 and is good working order. It has just been completely worked over and set up by Anne Hartman at The Twelfth Fret. Fret wear is moderate but it plays cleanly, and delivers that loud, clear Gibson banjo sound. There is visible wear on the arm-rest plating, sure signs that it’s been used as intended, and that’s a good thing.

Dieter Hopf – Manuel Adalid Artista Membrane Classical Guitar, 2009

On September 25, 2018 /

Dieter Hopf’s family has been building for over three centuries, and his collaboration with Manuel Adalid, the Artista Membrane, uses the newest techniques. This unique design is a limited double top – the marked oval area visible on the cedar top is less than 2mm thick, but lattice braced with a carbon fiber layer. The result is an exceptionally loud voice, its tone tempered by the standard cedar top areas, with great projection.

Tags: 5-string, americana, Banjo, Deering, Goodtime

The Deering Goodtime Americana™ is the first 5-string banjo from Deering to be fitted with their new Grand 12” rim, which gives the banjo a stronger bass response and a much warmer tone. The fullness and warmth of the larger rim is further enhanced by the addition of a 12” Renaissance head which beautifully complements the banjo both visually and sonically.

C. F. Martin 000-18 Steel String Guitar, 2015

On September 17, 2018 /

The C. F. Martin 000-18 is an extremely versatile, great sounding guitar with a smaller body and shorter scale length than the classic D-body Dreadnoughts. As an ’18’ level model, Mahogany is used for the back, sides and neck, with Sitka Spruce for the top and Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. The 000-18 is well known for its even, well represented tone, excellent for both strumming and fingerstyle.
