triple-bound sunburst top; small pickguard; Rosewood fretboard with

cleated (small) back cracks, but it's otherwise quite clean. A perfect
songwriting guitar.

T-18 Tiple
(1962, Exc+) Sweet player, this.
Formerly owned by Billy Beeman, part of the original Wagon Masters who
played at Knott's Berry Farm in the 50s and 60s. All original but for
the bridge re-glue, which is structurally fine, if not the most
attractive work. The body is 8-15/16" wide with a 17" scale; 10 strings
in groups of 2, 3, 3, 2. Tuning is generally like that of the ukulele,
but with the octaves on the three lowest groups. Specifications are like
those of an 18-style guitar. Non-original HSC included. $1495

sides and top; Mahogany neck with dots at 5-7-9 frets; Ebony fretboard;
nut and bridge; slotted peghead with original tuning machines; French
Polish finish with some touch up in spots. Original condition but for
the replacement bridge and bridge plate by Marty Lanham, and with better
intonation than the original. The bar frets intonate truly now, too,
thanks to Marty. The guitar is currently strung with extra light gauge
strings, but it is sufficiently braced to handle regular light gauge
strings. George Gruhn appraised this guitar a while back, and it was his
opinion this 0-18K was set up Spanish-style from the factory (not
converted from Hawaiian setup later). What a beauty! Sounds terrific,
too! $4595

OM-28
(1931, Re-topped) This is a special
one, folks. This guitar was owned most of its existence by a family who
lived not far from Martin's headquarters in Nazareth, PA. The original
owner, Rudy G., registered the guitar on 12-30-1931. Long story made
short, the OM-28 went back to Martin for repairs in 1982 and later, in
1996. The second time around, the top was replaced, it was replace with
Sitka. Fast-forward, the OM-28 (along with the original top) was
purchased by our consignor and sent to Dave Musselwhite to have the
guitar fully restored, and the top replaced again, this time with
master-grade Adirondack (with a bit of aging toner applied). The
original top was used for reference, and the bracing is identical to the
original. We are told the pickguard size, while 000-size and not
OM-size, is original to the guitar. The Brazilian in the OM is
beautifully straight, and reminds me of the Brazilian in the 1937 D-28
Shaded top. Mr. Musselwhite removed multiple layers of overspray from
both the body and the neck to reveal the original finish. The guitar
comes with a white Calton deluxe case and also the original hardshell
case. There's a boatload of documentation with the guitar, too, from the
original signed warranty card, to the 1982 and 1996 invoices from
Martin, and the 2012 restoration invoice from Dave Musselwhite. A
complete list of Mr. Musselwhite's work will be given to the
potential/eventual buyer.

McGill Super Steel
(New) Indian Rosewood back and sides, Mahogany neck; Lutz
Spruce top; asymmetrical soundhole; Snakewood bindings; Ebony fretboard
with 1-7/8" nut width; 2-1/4" string spacing at the saddle; slotted
peghead with Cocobolo overlay; gold and ebony Schertler 18:1 ratio
classical guitar tuning machines; Cocobolo bridge and string breaks;
RMC pickup system; Cocobolo end wedge. This is a really great sounding,
dream-to-play-guitar from Paul. He recently sent it home with our
friend (and teacher at Cotten Music) John Mock to be recorded.
More photos to follow, but you can see/hear the guitar right now in this
great video by
John. The song John is playing is his original composition "The
Keeper's Companion." (Note: In the video the saddles are bone, not the
RMC saddles. The guitar has RMC saddles, currently, but Paul says
he could replace them with Graphtec saddles if the customer should want
them.) Case included.

Texas] Another fine custom guitar from Texas luthier Neil Peterson. He calls it
his D-100, and it is in the shape of a d, but it's smaller than a

very easily but still keeps its big voice. Koa back and sides, Mahogany
neck, Engelmann Spruce top; Mesquite rosette; Honduran Rosewood binding

Peterson J-100
(New)
Neil Peterson, of Hill Country
Lutherie (not far from Austin, TX), was introduced to us by a friend of
mine, Warren Peterson, whom I've known for what seems forever. Neil is
Warren's cousin, and Warren thought we might like to see what Neil's
been building the past few years (officially since 2004). Neil likes to
build with traditional tone woods, of course, but he REALLY likes using
woods that are unusual, and often, indigenous to Texas. Here's one of
the guitars he brought by the shop Monday. It's a fine player with a
nifty mix of woods, so we are happy to have it in the shop for sale.
Specs are as follows: Jumbo body (16-9/16" lower bout) of Curly Maple
back and sides; Port Orford Cedar top and Port Orford Cedar bracing;
Mesquite binding with Abalone purfling; laminated Mesquite neck with
2-way adjustable truss rod (with carbon fiber inserts); bone nut; Ebony
fretboard and peghead with Mesquite binding; abalone fretboard inlays;
Tortis Gibson-style pickguard; Ebony bridge with bone saddle; Gotoh 510
gold tuning machines with black buttons; 25.4" scale, 1-3/4" nut width;
2-1/4" spacing at the saddle. This guitar's got lights on it now and
sounds fine, but we're going to string it up with mediums, because, to
our way of thinking, it should have mediums. <g> Come check it out!

nickel machines with amber buttons; elevated pickguard; adjustable Ebony
bridge. We're told (but can't confirm) this mandolin used to belong to
David Grisman, and was traded for a Gibson H-1 Mandola before our
customer purchased it from the dealer. We feel the top has been
refinished, but everything else appears original, including the bridge.
There's some wear on the neck, but nothing major. There's no case, but
we can include a gig bag. $5495
