Gibson Les Paul Custom Black, 1981

  Gibson Les Paul Custom Black, 1981

The Gibson Les Paul Custom in Black is an iconic and aspirational guitar, used in every genre where solidbody models are accepted. When introduced as the ‘Black Beauty’ in 1954, the idea was that it would be appropriate for a guitarist dressed in a tuxedo. It’s stayed at the top of the line, but has been used by punk bands as well.

Ibanez AF155 Artstar Archtop Electric Aged Whiskey Burst, 2013

   Ibanez AF155 Artstar Archtop Electric Aged Whiskey Burst, 2013

The Ibanez AF155 Artstar is a great example of the many reasonably priced, good quality jazz guitars Ibanez produces. This specific model was built from 2013 to 2018, and was then replaced by other models, but they all get mentioned discussions of available and affordable, quality guitars in the jazz guitar forums. A bottom line is that if you need a versatile, affordable jazz guitar (and who among us does not?) this Ibanez AF155 is a good bet.

Gibson Les Paul Custom White, 2007

  Gibson Les Paul Custom White, 2007

Here in very good condition – and very white – the Gibson Les Paul Custom built during 2007 in Nashville. This clean example is in original condition with minimal wear to the finish or gold plating, though there is some wear to the plating where the player normally touched it – the bass end of the bridge and the metal tuner buttons, for example.

Laskin Short Scale Classical Guitar Natural, 2020 –

Laskin Short Scale Classical Guitar Natural, 2020 -

This William Laskin Short Scale Classical guitar, built during 2020 in Toronto, pairs a Sitka Spruce top with Wenge for the sides and back. In terms of being short scale – the scale length used here is 640mm or 25.19 inches. ‘Standard’ full concert scale length is 650mm, or 25.59 inches. The 10mm does make a noticeable difference in how easy it is to reach for low position fingerings! Aside from extremely high levels of general skill, one of the things William Laskin is known for is his work with engraved inlay, and many of his instruments feature examples, from the simple to the wildly complex.
