NEW ARRIVAL Gibson bought Epiphone in 1957, and moved it to the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1960. Epiphones were then built in the Gibson factory from 1960 - 1969 until being transfered to Japan in early 1970. So buying a 60's Epiphone gets you a USA...
SOLD The 1930’s was a true golden era for Gibson’s archtop line: a period that produced some of the most sought after and famed instruments. Choice Maple and Spruce was abundant, and this guitar is built with stunning pieces of both. Re introduced with this...
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 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...
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...
