Collings CL Jazz Thinline Archtop Electric Sunburst, 2003

On February 16, 2023 /

The Collings CL Jazz is a rare thing of beauty, functional art manifesting as a thinline hollowbody carved top jazz guitar. The late Bill Collings’ work is some of the best. His work was very well thought out and executed in every way. Build quality, materials selection, fit, finish, sound and playability are top notch.

On February 15, 2023 /

Here is a fairly rare item – a Martin 000C Steve Miller Pegasus Signature Edition, in great shape and with a very good, rich voice and minimal wear. This example has been lightly played, with corresponding light fret and finish wear. Offered during 2005 in a run of 383 instruments, the Martin 000C Steve Miller Pegasus Signature Edition featured a venetian-cutaway body of Englemann Spruce top with lightly scalloped hybrid bracing, lightly quilted Mahogany for the sides and back, OM-width bound Ebony fingerboard on a Mahogany neck, and an alternative Torch inlay from 1902 at the peghead.

Gibson Moderne Reissue Black, 2012

On February 7, 2023 /

Here’s a reissue version one of the rarest of all Gibson guitars – the Gibson Moderne, designed and registered in June 1957 but only produced in limited numbers from 1981 to 1983! This gloss black 2012 reissue version of the Gibson Moderne differs from any 1957 prototype and the 1980’s run in its use of Mahogany for the body rather than Korina, the lack of string pivots on the new V-shaped headstock, a gold Gibson decal logo rather than the cast type, and a considerably lower price.
