GUITARS

2009 New Era Prairie State Style 4 Guitar

Excellent condition - Upgraded 18’’ body, beautiful flamed Cherry back & sides, insane wide grain Adirondack Spruce top with vintage Amber finish, bound body B/W/B/W/B purfling, bound Ebony fingerboard with large block Pearl inlay, Abalone position markers, large vintage style Tortes pickguard, star inlayed Ebony bridge, 1 ¾’’ nut width, three piece Mahogany neck with center Rosewood strip, Pearl & Vine headstock inlay, Waverly oval button tuners and 25.5 scale. Huge booming power with deep soft tone. For those that were unaware that Cherry is a serious “tone wood” on an acoustic guitar, here is a great example. Large low end response that can be felt to your toes, direct midrange that connects in an instant and high end that softly exposes itself in a firm way. Hats off to Tony Klassen for his wonderful recreations of the Larson’s originals as this specimen is outstanding. This instrument shows very little playing wear and a new one like this is considerably more money and the wait is substantial. Priced with vintage style case.

Hooper H-28 Madagascar Rosewood

New - An outstanding example of a complete package of tone, power, balance and sustain. Ken Hooper has delivered again with an instrument full of life and instant response. Deep low end, punchy midrange and piano-like high end with every register distinct and clear. The overall sound is likening unto an instrument made and played decades ago with bold headroom and a brazen voice. Equipped with wide grain Adirondack Spruce top, quarter sawn straight grain Madagascar Rosewood back & sides, varnish finish, Adirondack braces, no tongue brace, Herringbone trim, FWI saddle, 1 ¾’’ nut and bridge pins with Paducak inlay, Waverly “Butterbean” tuners and tortoise grain pickguard. Loaded with the great stuff but more importantly loaded with that awesome sound but it does come with a warning: “Contagious.” This guitar is very “alive.” Priced with deluxe Cedar Creek hard case.

Collings CJ Sunburst Custom

New - Sitka Spruce top, Adirondack braces, 1 ¾’’ nut width, no tongue brace and sunburst finish top. An absolute “booming” monster with full body sound as in the whole body vibrates when engaged. Deep open tone, supreme balance and great response. This very well could be played in any music genre you choose as it is that strong. Two of your senses will work overtime, the “feel” of this instrument and then when you “hear” the sound directed out of the chamber all questions will be answered. Priced with deluxe hard case.
