Collings CL Jazz Thinline Archtop Electric Sunburst, 2003

Collings CL Jazz Thinline Archtop Electric Sunburst, 2003

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.

Martin 000C Steve Miller Pegasus, 2005

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 J-45 Standard Vintage Sunburst, 2009

On February 15, 2023   /    
Gibson J-45 Standard Vintage Sunburst, 2009

The Gibson J-45 Standard was rightly described as a workhorse in the steel string acoustic guitar field after its introduction in 1942. Used by legions of guitarists for countless gigs, recordings and personal playing, the round-shouldered J-45 was one of the two primary ‘Dreadnought’ designs (the other being the square-shouldered Martin D-body) that influenced many later builders.

GoldTop CL City Limits, 2012 / *No Longer Available*

This Collings GoldTop CL City Limits is special, apparently being the second GoldTop CL personally made and finished by the late Bill Collings himself. This guitar model clearly draws from a the classic pairing of Maple and Mahogany, and this very early Collings Gold Top CL has some subtle shaping differences to distinguish it.

Guild Capri CE-100D Archtop Electric Sunburst, 1965

Here we’re looking at a Guild Capri CE-100D from 1965 in overall good condition, looking like it has been used as intended over the years. Built from 1956 until 1982, the Guild Capri CE-100D was a fully hollow body archtop electric with a Florentine cutaway and a pair of pickups. The CE-100D was the Double pickup version of the single-pickup CE-100; at first, Franz pickups were used, then DeArmond, and in 1963 Guild’s new Anti-Hum pickups were fitted.
