The previous nine Brazilian guitars were built in 1990 & 1991. This one, due to plant changes, was completed in early 1994 and was made a "One of A Kind" as a 1994 100th Anniversary Issue... #10 of 10. It has a Martin "Thinline" pickup under the saddle and input jack at the end strap pin. No damage or holes drilled. It has been used in the studio for sessions, I have played the Grand Ole Opry with it, as well as some of my videos. A Brazilian Beauty and an Incredible Guitar!

For Sale: Dan Crary Signature Model Guitar - $1,700 USD

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Tue, 7 Feb 2012 15:42 CST

The Taylor DCSM is an interesting guitar. It is the first signature series guitar made by Taylor guitars and represents the result of collaborative efforts between Bob Taylor and Dan Crary. My 1994 guitar has a solid spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides. The top braces are not scalloped, per Dan’s insistence since he wanted a guitar with fewer bass overtones that was easier to amplify in live performances. It has gold plated tuning machines, snowflake inlays Abalone rosette around soundhole. It has a very thin neck that feels and plays great.

For Sale: 1944 Epiphone Zenith Acoustic Archtop Guitar, OHSC - $1,375 USD

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sat, 4 Feb 2012 20:46 CST

Here is a really nice, clean 1944 Epiphone Zenith Archtop in very good condition with the OHSC. Here are all the details. This is a 16” body archie which is a very comfortable body to hold and play due to its depth contours and shaped waist, compared to a dreadnaught. Unlike nearly all of the 16” Gibson archtops, it has the typical Epiphone full scale length of about 25.5”. The longer scale gives it different acoustical properties compared to the shorter string length guitars. As far as I can tell, its all original, lacking only the pickgard and endpin. The glitter heel cap shrunk a little, there has been a slight shrinkage of heel seam/finish; it is minimal and the neck is solid. The action is not high, its quite adjustable due to the floating bridge and truss rod. This appears to have a solid spruce top with walnut back and sides, likely the Epi walnut laminate, and a 3 piece neck which is also in really nice condition. There are no top or body cracks. The binding is in great shape. It has the headstock inlay and black tuner buttons which are not crumbling away. The finish has some of the expected typical finish crazing and checking but its not bad, they don’t show much, and its not flaking off; there are not too many scratches or dings either. The frets were just lightly dressed as they weren’t really on played much and it was set up too. The Brazilian fretboard is in fine condition, no finger pitting. The "Frequensator" tailpiece has the typical crack at the bend over the binding, but its only a 1/4" on the bass side, and it has much of its original plating intact. The original case is in quite good condition and doesn’t smell. The lid strap is still there but its not connected at the lower end. The case still even has its original leather handle, which is probably 80-85% there, and it has the original key too. See more pix at http://s257.photobucket.com/albums/hh203/Brewsterr/ then select the right album. Finally, and most importantly, there is this guitar’s voice. Yowza! Its loud and powerful with a cutting edge to it. This one has a crisp and hot sound that really jumps out. Its great for leads and, besides playing alone, its terrific for being in a crowd as you will be heard. I prefer the archtop sound due to a better balance across the strings and I think they sound better up the neck too compared to most flattops. Just $1,375 for this hot sounding, vintage wartime archtop in VG condition with the OHSC. 48 hr approval, must be returned in same condition. Buyer to cover all the S/I.

For Sale: JUST IN! Collings D1H G - MAPLE! - $4,700 USD

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Fri, 3 Feb 2012 04:34 CST

If you're looking for a Collings that can fill a room, look no further! This has to be one of the loudest acoustics I have ever heard! This D1 features a German Spruce top and Flame Maple back and sides. Simply AMAZING projection! The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, we bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar. Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles. The wide range of woods and neck sizes offered allow dreadnought fans to find a Collings model ideally suited to their playing style and tonal preference. Features Include: Fully adjustable truss rod German Spruce Top Flame Maple back & sides Tortoise-style binding Herringbone trim Simple walnut backstrip Pre-war scalloped bracing Black/white wood nitrate strip rosette Tortoise-style pickguard High gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish Flame Maple Neck Ebony fingerboard and bridge Ebony peghead overlay Inlaid Collings Logo Inlaid dot fingerboard markers Fully adjustable truss rod Bone nut and drop-in saddle Ebony bridge pins and end pin Nickel Waverly tuners

Straight up, I love a great mahogany guitar. Nothing, but nothing sounds like them and without question, the wonderful craftsmen at Collings build the very, very best!

For Sale: JUST IN! Collings DS1H - Vintage Sunburst! - $4,365 USD

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Wed, 1 Feb 2012 18:57 CST

Visually Stunning - Sonically Stunning! We ordered this one in a vintage sunburst done only the way Collings can do it. This is the original 12-fret dreadnought shape, first designed as an oversized Hawaiian guitar almost a century ago. Collings retained the shape and wide neck with slotted headstock from that bygone era, but our DS models are thoroughly modern guitars with a unique sound all their own. The longer body, with the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout, delivers an open, airy tone with smoothness and warmth not typically found in modern, 14-fret dreadnoughts. Whether flatpicked or played fingerstyle, these guitars have lots of headroom and the wide dynamic range invites everything from mellow accompaniment to biting leads. Features Include: Select Sitka spruce Mahogany back & sides Tortoise-style binding Herringbone trim Simple walnut backstrip Pre-war scalloped bracing 1 13/16 Nut width Black/white wood nitrate strip rosette Tortoise-style pickguard High gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish Mahogany Neck Ebony fingerboard and belly bridge Slotted peghead with ebony overlay Inlaid Collings Logo Inlaid dot fingerboard markers Fully adjustable truss rod Bone nut and drop-in saddle Ebony bridge pins and end pin Nickel Waverly slot-head tuners

For Sale or Trade: 2011 Custom Martin HD28V w/ Upgrades (Price lowered) - $2,400 USD

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Wed, 1 Feb 2012 14:54 CST

Up for sale or trade is a 2011 Martin HD28V. I purchased this guitar in May 2011 with hopes of learning to play but I really only have time to concentrate on my banjo playing. This is a beautiful guitar with virtually no playing time (there are no pick marks on the pick guard if that tells you anything) that has been case kept, properly humidified and upgraded with genuine Martin gold butterbean tuners and fossilized walrus bridge pins, end pin and strap pin (This equates to a $360.05 upgrade... yes, I have receipts). These pins are gorgeous with abalone dot inlays. I still have all the original pins and tuners that I would include with the trade. Comes with a very nice Martin Geib style case that came original with the guitar. I'm looking to trade for a Gibson banjo in similar condition. Will consider other banjos (Huber Truetone, Deering, Stelling, Hatfield, Cox, etc.) if the offer is right. No parts banjos or clones. Price is firm.

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 07:53 CST

'68 Martin D18, great flatpicking guitar, recent work by the best authorized Martin guy in the area includes neck reset, new bridge and bone saddle, maple bridge plate overlay, frets, minor crack repairs; this guitar has the small maple bridgeplate; not a boomer, very clear and bright, cuts a mike w/o the overtones; this guitar has been played a lot in its 44 years and has some pick rash near the pick guard and some finish issues on the back lower bout; but it shouldn’t need any work for a very long time. Comes with original HSC which is very nice inside and shows old sticker evidence on the outside, otherwise VGC. $1,900. IF THIS AD IS STILL UP I STILL HAVE THE GUITAR

For Sale: Randy Lucas #24, Brazilian/Adi LD-28 circa 1996 - $6,800 USD

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:12 CST

More photos here: http://s459.photobucket.com/albums/qq318/gfarina55/Lucas/ This is the 24th guitar built by Randy, and it is dated, numbered, and signed under the top. It is a 15-year old Brazilian/Adirondack dread, and it’s the best sounding dread I’ve ever owned or played, hands down. It sounds warm, elegant, and refined like no other dread I’ve played. If it weren’t for my HUGE hands and this guitar’s 1 & 11/16” nut, I would never let it go. I purchased this guitar from the original owner near Randy’s shop in Indiana, and it’s completely open and feels like an “old friend” after 15 years of breaking in. Detailed description: The pre-C.I.T.E.S. Brazilian rosewood back and sides are stunning, especially the sides as you can see from the photos. The wood just rings when you tap it, and I don’t think there’s much Brazilian like this around anymore. The Adirondack top has a subtle, graceful arch across the entire width. No bridge tilt or unhealthy top distortion of any kind. This guitar is on the lighter side, just a bit lighter than my D-18A. The neck profile has a subtle V shape, and it’s a full “vintage” carve, but not as full as say, the D-18A. Randy’s “pocketed” fretwork (the fret ends are hidden) make the guitar a joy to play. The nut width is 1 & 11/16ths, the string spacing is 2 & ¼”. I installed Antique Acoustics “Red Eye” bridge/end pins, which look great w/the light Brazilian rosewood and yellowed binding. Tuners are Waverlies. Condition: Some minor cosmetic flaws, par for a 15-year old guitar. There are some small dings and a 1/2” scratch on the top (treble side of the upper bout--see photos). The hand-sprayed finish is very thin, and not perfect; if you look very closely in bright light you will see some pinpoint-sized bubbles and finish shrinkage around the rosette and in the center seam, but nothing out of the ordinary for a handmade guitar. There is also a hazy white patch on the side where the guitar sits on your thigh (see photos). This is from a humidifier that leaked inside the guitar many years ago. There is no finish checking, and there are no cracks, repairs or structural issues of any kind. The frets are original with minor wear, but plenty of life left in them. Setup: I am a professional musician, and I’m a stickler for a good setup. The playability is excellent w/med-low action, about .008” relief. There's plenty of saddle (I'm guessing just hair lower than 1/8”), w/good break angles. (See photos) Comes with OHSC, original “spec sheet”, and an original photograph of Kenny Smith and Randy Lucas in the shop! $6800 packed in a sturdy guitar carton, shipped, and insured through Heritage. I buy/sell many guitars and have good transactions with other members of UMGF, the Collings forum, and AGF. I’m parallel98 on Ebay w/100% positive feedback, and can provide references if needed. Email questions to shop at geofffarina dot com.

For Sale or Trade: Sigma Martin DR-41 REDUCED - $450 USD

The DR-41 is one of the high end Sigma Guitars made for Martin. It is a dreadnought body with solid spruce top, laminated rosewood back and side, ebonized rosewood finger board and bridge, beautiful pearl ring rosette, binding and fingerboard inlays with tortoise colored pick guard. This guitar is very good condition, hardly any fret ware, straight and true neck, no structural issues, repairs, cracks, splits or breaks... just a few small dings on top and one by the sound hole. It has new strings and comes with a hard shell case. The production of this guitar stopped in 2007... would be a great collector piece. Call or text 407-766-5598.
