The Twelfth Fret recently become a Huss and Dalton Dealer, and this beautiful new Huss and Dalton TD-R Traditional Dreadnought Rosewood arrived yesterday!
The Michael Messer Lightning is a nickel-plated bell brass body, 1930’s style 12-fret single cone resonator guitar, intended to provide the tone and vibe of a vintage blues guitar, and it does this well. You get the vintage look and tone, but with modern playability and reliability at an affordable price. These are great instruments for fingerstyle and bottleneck blues playing. The Michael Messer Lightning has the characteristic attack, projection, resonance and volume of a ‘steel body’ guitar. As expected, it’s bright, but with a warmth and depth that avoid harshness and add a sweetness to the edge. The modern features include an adjustable truss rod.
The National Koa Estralita Deluxe Resophonic Guitar is a single-cone, F-hole reso-phonic design, normally made from walnut. The Koa Estralita Deluxe uses solid Koa for the sides, Koa laminate for the top and back, Honduras mahogany for the neck, and rosewood for the fingerboard. The resonator itself is a 9.5 inch hand spun National cone with maple biscuit. The headstock is faced with a very classy engraved ivoroid, and National branded open tuners with black buttons are fitted. The bone nut width is 1.825 inches, and the scale length is 25 inches. A National hard-shell, arched top case is included.

The Collings 01E is a slightly customized version of Collings’ smallest regular guitar – the 01 – with an Engelmann spruce top rather than the stock Sitka Spruce. In terms of body style, the Collings 01 is derived from a Ditson version of the Martin single-0 guitar.

Here is a rare and wonderful Gibson F-5L Fern Mandolins! These mandolins are a welcome sight, not just because they are great instruments but also because they mean that Gibson’s Nashville production lines are recovering from the devastating floods of 2010. The Gibson F-5L Fern mandolin is a classic, with a carved spruce top, carved flame maple back, sides and neck, elegant fern-style inlays on the ebony headplate, and a beautiful gloss nitrocellulose lacquer sunburst finish.
