NEW ARRIVAL The Epiphone Apollo is a little known model, based on the Olympic, but made for the UK market, produced between 1937 - 1939. By 1937 the Olympic had a 15 1/4” lower bout, still with the Epiphone Masterbilt banner logo, with 3 segmented "f" holes, trapeze...
NEW ARRIVAL 30’s Epiphone flat tops are one of the best kept secrets in vintage guitars, and certainly amongst the rarest. The Navarre flattop was introduced in 1931, and was Epiphone’s response to the Gibson Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe. It’s a big bodied Red Spruce /...
SOLD A 50’s LG1 is a rare find indeed. A 00 size guitar with Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, and most importantly ladder bracing. This gives the guitar a quicker attack and quicker fade, and what people consider to be a classic boxy blues sound. Unlike the more...
NEW ARRIVAL In 1995 Gibson produced a limited Special Edition of the J100. The model was already popular as a Spruce / Mahogany jumbo, offering a greater warmth and depth than the better known J200. With the Special Edition, Gibson used an Adirondack top to give a...
NEW ARRIVAL Possibly the most recognisable of all Gibson acoustics, the J160E was made famous by the Beatles, and as such if you want to recreate that unique sound – this is the only guitar that gets you there. There have been various modern reissues by Gibson that...
SOLD The Kalamazoo KG11 is the lesser known cousin of the KG14. Visually it’s very different with a squat dreadnought body shape, and tonally it’s less bluesy but more versatile. It still has all the classic Gibson built depression era Kalamazoo traits, lightly...
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...
SOLD 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 returned...
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 Something special happens when you pick up a really good vintage Gibson. It feels immediately comfortable and somehow familiar. It makes you play songs you haven’t played for years, yet makes you want to start writing new songs. It’s a very involving and emotive...
