~1965 Guild D-50 Bluegrass Special

$2,250
C. 1965 Guild D-50 "Bluegrass Special" #44637 w/ohsc The term "banjo killer" is a bit over-used in my opinion, but at the risk of sounding cliche I'm going to apply it to this 60 year old Guild D-50. This rosewood beauty has a huge voice and while it loves to be played hard it is equally sweet when finger picked, as you'll hear in the available sound file. The guitar has a rich and full...

Stauffer/Martin style parlor guitar 1830s/40 44% off
1830s/40s Stauffer/Martin style parlor guitar This guitar has been through enough work in its nearly two century existence that any maker's mark that might have once existed (stamp, label, etc) are long gone.

1944 Martin D-28

$16,000
1944 Martin D-28 41% off
The back and sides are the kind of beautiful Brazilian that builders today covet but rarely have opportunity to obtain. The red spruce top is of equal quality, tight and even grain throughout the entire width of the top. Typically one would expect a '44 D-28 to have herringbone purfling around the top, which this one does not. During the restoration, the Martin archives were contacted in order...
