Oskar Graf 10 String Classical Guitar 2006

On January 14, 2022 /

Here we have an Oskar Graf 10-String Classical guitar, built during 2006 in Clarendon Ontario. Graf has been hand building custom, top quality instruments since 1970. It features a Cedar top with Indian Rosewood for the back, sides, headplate and bridge, with Ebony for the fingerboard. The neck and heel are Mahogany, but because of the width of the neck, it is made in three pieces with a narrow center strip.

Gibson FJN Folksinger Jumbo Natural, 1964

On January 14, 2022 /

Created for the folk boom of the early 1960’s, the Gibson FJN Folksinger Jumbo Natural Finish has a few differences from Gibson’s regular dreadnoughts. While it uses the Jumbo body size found on guitars like the SJ, the FJN has a wide 12-fret neck – the nut is nearly 2 inches wide – and is braced for nylon, Silk & Steel, or very light steel strings. Interest in the FJN faded with the folk boom, and by 1967 the FJN was taken out of production.

Collings 0001 12-Fret Steel String Natural, 2012

On January 8, 2022 /

Here is a wonderful Collings 0001 with a 12-fret full 25.5 inch scale neck, built with Sitka Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany. Built during 2012 in Austin and signed by Bill Collings, this guitar is in very good clean condition. While this guitar is now almost a decade old, it has been very well cared for. It’s also been owned and played by someone with highly developed skills, and so the guitar has had a chance to develop its frankly impressive voice.
