Sold2024 Froggy Bottom | A-12 Deluxe | German Spruce & Mahogany
Warm and rich, easy to play and with loads of tonal depth. The wood selection on this is second to none, gorgeous Mahogany with beautiful character and a fine German spruce top to add fantastic articulation to that round Mahogany tone. In terms of condition, it is in excellent condition with minimal play time on it, as though it wasn't played much at all. We love a guitar bound in wood, for the aesthetic but also for the longevity of an instrument. The headstock is adorned with the classic Frog abalone inlay with a rosewood headstock veneer and Rosewood (appears to be Indian Rosewood) body binding. To tie it all together there is a fine wooden purfling around the top of the guitar, around the rosette and down the back stripe. Gorgeous!!! Ok, so it is comfortable, it is beautiful and it is in as good of condition as you would ever expect of a gently used guitar but really the beauty of this is the SOUND. Resonant, clear with excellent depth and simply candy on the ear. Get it before its gone!
Sold1966 Martin D-18
The Martin D-18 is one of the most iconic guitars in Martin’s lineup, trusted by legends of music and players like you for nearly a century. This guitar has "the tone"! It sounds incredible and is set up low to play easy with light gauge strings but if you want it to, it will respond like a bluegrass cannon with medium strings. This great playing instrument is in excellent condition having received a neck reset and a brand new Brazilian Rosewood bridge with a nice full saddle. With a non-original hard shell case.
Sold1994 Goodall Koa Standard Cutaway
This a Dreadnought, believe it or not. A dreadnought from Goodall and what a boom this guitar has. It is punchy, crisp and incredibly dynamic with tons of headroom. Enough about the incredible sound, lets talk about how beautiful this guitar is. Originating from a time when James Goodall was still located in Hawaii, this instrument features an extraordinary set of Hawaiian Koa on the back and sides. With exceptional curl from edge to edge of the back it is exactly what we look for in top quality Koa. Beyond the excellent tone woods this guitar is a bit more finely adorned than any Goodall we have ever come across. Not only is there artfully inlaid abalone around the edge of the guitar, rosette and headstock but it also has gorgeous etched Abalone doves at the fingerboard and bridge! Another interesting feature is the sharp Florentine cutaway. Another cool feature are the ebony tuners. Overall condition is good with a few minor cracks in the top that have been glued, a couple dings and dents on the top towards the lower bout and a couple small ones on the back of the neck. Not only is this a fantastic flat picking guitar, it is an incredibly sweet finger picker perfect for bassy blues or lush fingerstyle. With rich highs and deep rumbling bass this guitar covers the full spectrum of tones and is pure ear candy. Comes with a hard shell case.
Sold2025 Froggy Bottom P-12 Deluxe
Tastefully appointed with quilted Maple bindings and a rectangular ebony bridge, this little Parlor guitar punches way above its weight!

It is in nearly unplayed, excellent condition and comes with its original TKL American Vintage Series case.
Sold2011 Collings 290 - Doghair!
This 290 is in excellent condition and plays and sounds as beautiful as it's black dog-hair finished Honduran Mahogany body. It weighs in at an easy-to-manage 7 lbs. 12.2 oz. Named for the scenic 290 highway that winds past the Collings shop though the Texas Hill Country, the 290 is a modern day tribute to the original working man's rock'n roll guitar. Its solid mahogany body and neck are complemented by a Pearloid headstock overlay and two Lollar SoapBar P90 pickups for a tone that shows off an amazing harmonic range and dynamics. It comes with its original hard shell case.
Sold2009 Gibson SJ-200 Custom w/ Abalone Purfling
Thunderous tone emanates from this stunning Gibson SJ. Being a fine Indian Rosewood on the back and sides, this guitar has wonderful tonal balance, rich bass and satisfying trebles! What sets this SJ apart from the rest of the pack is the ornate shell inlays around this guitar. The gorgeous Abalone purfling around the top of the instrument and rosette is striking, but they also added it in the bridge, on the pickguard (little dots in the flowers) and up the fingerboard all the way to a bit at headstock. Being a deluxe model, it has binding around the headstock and down the fingerboard to match the body. Two elements that elegantly tie together this design are the art deco gold tuners and mustache bridge. An interesting element to this guitar that really puts it over the top in elegance is the flamed maple neck, which is sunbursted so the flame just peaks out in the middle of the neck. Overall condition is very good, with one dent in the lower bout of the top and a bit of wear at the back at the lower bout. Frets have medium wear with lots of life left in them. Action is nice and easy to play. Comes with original Gibson hard case.
