Gibson SJ-200 LH Custom Shop Wine Red, 2006

On February 1, 2023 /

Here is a bit of a rarity – a Gibson SJ-200 LH – Left Handed – Custom Shop guitar in Wine Red, built during 2006 in Bozeman, Montana. The SJ, or Super Jumbo 200 first appeared in 1938 and has been in the Gibson catalogs ever since, though none were built between 1944 and 1946 due to wartime restrictions.

Martin 000-15SM 12-Fret Steel String, 2013

On January 30, 2023 /

The Martin 000-15SM is based on one of the oldest and for a time largest Martin body shapes, first appearing in 1902. The name breaks down to a 000 body with 15 style trim, the S indicating a 12-fret neck and the M, Mahogany. It also has a slotted peghead, which allows for a steeper string path from the nut without tipping the head back further.

Fender Mustang Walnut Stain 24 Inch Scale, 1965

On January 30, 2023 /

Introduced in August 1964 and built until 1982, the Fender Mustang was positioned between the student model DuoSonic and the professional grade Telecaster. Most Mustangs have a 24 inch scale length, but a few were built with a short 21.5 inch scale, all with Rosewood fingerboards. Until 1969, the body was a simple Poplar slab body, and then it received standard – patented – Fender contours. Until 1968, the finish was nitrocellulose lacquer; at that point the finish shifted to the new, heavier polyester coatings.
