This Martin O 18 #141739 was gifted to my customer Hiaso Shinagawa by the late Townes Van Zandt in 1980. Hisao who is also known as, the Japanese Bob Dylan, claims an arsenal of 2,000 songs! The guitar got run over by a vending truck at a Farmers Market he was playing at on December 14 2008.I think this one is going to take a little extra time. Click here for more photos.
Tulip Guitar Do you know what this is? I dont.The neck block is the whole arc of the top of the body and is only 1″ deep.The bracing is ladder and the back and sides are Mahogany. Weird. For more photos click here.
J45 1960? What can I say. For more photos, click here.
N.B. Curtis Parlor.The lower bout on this parlor is almost 15″ so it is on the larger size for a parlor. Scale length is 25″ and it is ladderbraced. Top is spruce and the back and sides are Mahogany. We reset the neck added a trussrod, refretted it, and made a repro bridge for it. This thing plays and sounds fabulous! For more photos click here.
