NEW ARRIVAL Only made between 1926 - 1931 as a flat top with circular lower bout, this has to be one of the rarest Gibson models around - and arguably the most important. This L-1 is a 00 size, H braced guitar, and only 12 frets to the body which changes the whole...
ON HOLD Gibson’s Studio range gives the chance to buy classic Gibson models in a stripped back format. There’s nothing budget about them, just some of the bells and some of the whistles are missing. With the SJ200 the classic Spruce / Flame Maple jumbo has a...
NEW ARRIVAL The L00 is probably Gibson’s most desirable pre war acoustic, and they’re becoming more difficult to find. This is an old warhorse of a guitar, with the scars to prove it - yet no visible cracks or repairs - and it's survived to become one of the best...
NEW ARRIVAL Tenor guitars have always made me nervous - I guess I’ve associated them with banjos and mandolins, which I don’t play. But picking up a 50’s Gibson archtop (which I’m very familiar with) with a skinny neck and 4 strings (tuned to G D A E) is great fun....
SOLD At first glance, the Southern Jumbo looks like a deluxe J45, with it’s bound fingerboard, split parallelogram inlays and open back butterbean tuners. But there’s more to it than that. The guitar has traditional hand scalloped advanced x-style bracing, which...
NEW ARRIVAL There are few acoustic guitars more wrapped up in music history than the Kalamazoo KG14. It’s the model that Robert Johnson played in his first studio session in November 1936 before getting arrested for a bar room brawl and losing his guitar. When he...
NEW ARRIVAL The J185 is the ideal guitar for someone who wants a J200 but finds them too big and bulky to play. It’s 16 1/4″ wide with a scale length of 24 3/4″ rather than a J200 which is 16 7/8″ wide and has a scale length of 25 1/2″. Not only is the J185 more...
SOLD This is a great example of a 60’s Country Western and, unlike later 60’s examples, the neck is quite full feeling. This gives the guitar an altogether richer sound with greater sustain, but still has that classic mellow Gibson vibe. Visually the Spruce top has...
SOLD The LG3 is the natural topped version of an LG2, like the J50 is to the J45. It was made from 1942 - 1962, and is possibly the most desirable small bodied post war Gibson model available. It’s a 00 size guitar with X bracing, making the guitar extremely resonant...
NEW ARRIVAL Known as “The Workhorse”, the Gibson J-45 body style is among Gibson’s most beloved. This particular Custom Shop example sits at the top of Gibson’s J-45 line, and features a superb blend of tonewoods, giving a rich, strong sound, with plenty of bite. The...
