Sold2011 Santa Cruz Vintage Artist
Fashioned after Doc Watson’s prototype, this guitar sounds and plays just great with a loud rich Mahogany tone and nice low action. The guitar is in excellent condition but we are rating and pricing it as in “very good” condition as the Sitka spruce top had a center seam repair performed by Santa Cruz Guitars, but without full lacquer work, so it is still a little visible cosmetically if you're looking for it, but it is completely structurally sound. Otherwise, the guitar is as clean as whistle and has a great overall appearance. But it really the feel and tonal characteristic of this guitar that makes it outstanding. It is gig ready with a K&K Pure Mini pickup. It comes with its original hard shell case.
SoldCollings City Limits Dark Cherry Burst
The Collings City Limits single-cut guitar is legendary for it's feel, tone and quality. It is crafted with the finest seasoned maple and Honduran Mahogany and is built for tone in spades! Lightweight, resonant mahogany combined with a carefully hand-set mortise and tenon neck joint bring tonal complexity and sustain to the table. It is sleekly contoured for comfort and style and brings new life to an American classic. A hard shell case is included.

This guitar works equally well for any kind of pick playing and responds great for fingerstyle. It has great harmonics and a rich full bass. It kills in alternate tunings as well.

Taylor was Bob Taylor’s personal small shop label and the few of these guitars that were built are entirely hand made by his most experienced luthiers using the most select materials available. There are some light signs of use in the headstock and neck, but the body is shining and looks great after a professional and nearly invisible repair on the lower bout. This guitar sounds really rich and full and plays like a dream. It is gig-ready with a Taylor Stealth ES pick-up system installed and it’s original hard shell case.

Sold2016 Santa Cruz OMG Italian Spruce Indian Rosewood
It is not often that we have an East Indian Rosewood OMG (Orchestra Model Grand) come through our doors and one in such excellent condition as this. If you have never tried an OMG before, it is like an OM but a little bigger so it has more growl, more punch more boom. One might think after playing it that the OMG stands for "Oh My ..." It is that good. Premium East Indian Rosewood back and sides gives this instrument excellent balance between bass, mids and treble. Having an Italian spruce top, this instrument has extra sparkle in the high-end and a crisp clarity that makes this guitar shimmer. All of this is accentuated by the slightly larger size of this guitar giving it presence and authority with every strum and melody. Little to no fret-wear. Light wear on the pick-guard. No dings nor dents on the guitar itself. We will miss this one when it is gone!

SoldBourgeois OM Custom Legacy Series
This may be the custom guitar of the year! We had a great time selecting all the features and tonewoods at for it with Dana and his crew at their shop. We started by picking and incredible Aged Tone Curly Maple for the back and then Dana found us a gorgeous looking and sounding Bear claw Figured Aged Tone Sitka for the top and said that he could do a nice pale burst on it. We added a Ziricote arm bevel with custom purfling for style and comfort. The neck is a special select piece of Aged Tone figured Maple that they were saving for that special project. All the Ziricote for the binding, fretboard and bridge is up to the same grade as the rest of the guitar. Gold Waverly tuners add just the right accent to the elegant look. This guitar sound as good as you’d expect and it plays like a dream with a short scale length, 1 23/32” width nut and 2.2” Bridge spacing. It comes with a hard shell case and a pickguard loose in the case.

What are the best guitars for beginners?
The best guitars for beginners have to be both affordable and high-quality, so that you don't have to struggle and can enjoy excellent tone. We recommend that all beginners start with Taylor guitars, particularly the Academy, GS-Mini or Baby guitars, as they are affordable, North American made and easily adjusted by a skilled guitar tech. Many of our customers have a limited budget, or want a guitar they don't have to worry about taking to the camp fire. In this case, we recommend Yamaha guitars as excellent entry level guitars. We have found that they stand out from the competing in terms of their build quality, playability and they are remarkably durable. In summary, the best guitars for beginners are Taylor and Yamaha guitars. However we always recommend that beginners purchase the best quality guitar they can afford, that way they can enjoy the experience and have an instrument that they can grow into. And the worst guitars for beginners tend to be old ones, with rusty strings and high action (where the guitar strings are hard to press down). In that case, we often recommend getting a fresh new Yamaha or Taylor to get started. Once you move from beginner to intermediate, we have an entire world of professional, top shelf guitars to enjoy from Bourgeois, Collings, Santa Cruz, Lowden, Huss & Dalton, Preston Thompson and more!
