Both professionally repaired. The top has no cracks and is in very good condition. This is the real McCoy. Comes with Ramirez molded  hardshell case. $6750

            
           

 

  

R.E. Spain Concert Classical-1981- Brazilian Rosewood and Cedar- This beautiful instrument from one of
England’s finest luthiers, Ray Spain, is a joy to hold and to play.  The construction is top-notch, the materials are truly beautiful, and the sound is stunning, with plenty of volume, great tone and balance. I purchased this guitar in England from a man who bought it new at Ivor Mairant’s MusicCentre in London in 1981. This is truly a fine concert quality instrument. $2950 

 

 William King Classical #36- this is a guitar constructed by a luthier in Austin, Texas who offers a limited number of very high quality concert instruments. This one is #36 and has a cedar top and Indian Rosewood back and sides, with an ebony fretboard. This guitar is really lively and has clear trebles, strong basses, and big volume, while maintaining great balance. My classical guitar teacher commented upon playing it that it would be a great guitar for studio recording due to it's clarity. New, these guitars sell for $4500.  This one was purchased new and played by a student majoring in guitar performance, who is now a professor of classical guitar at a prominent college music conservatory. The finish is French Polish and it has a few fingernail marks and a couple of very minor marks, but nothing major and nothing that detracts from the playability or tone. A truly fine instrument priced at $1950.

 

Juan Estruch Concert Classical Guitar, Modelo 4 Cadea, Garantia F 666, ano 1976. Made in Barcelona, Spain in the shop of Juan Estruch Pipo, signed by the luthier. Solid mahogany back and sides, solid cedar top. This concert quality instrument is in very good condition. I purchased the guitar from the original owner , who bought it at the E. Ferron Luthier music store in Rouen, France. The store's logo is on the headstock and also on a medallion affixed to  the original hardshell case. A pickup was added by the original owner's luthier brother. Plugged in or not, this guitar plays and sounds wonderful. With OHSC, $1350.

           

 

 

  La Mancha Lattice Prototype    This particular guitar is one of a few that Jerry Roberts had manufactured in China in 2004. It has a good deal of volume due to the very light satin finish. The top is solid cedar and the back and sides are Indian Rosewood. The fingerboard is ebony. The bracing in this guitar is more modern than the traditional fan bracing used for centuries in classical guitars. The term “lattice” in the title refers to the internal bracing. The tuners are gold with amber colored buttons.  Wonderfully balanced, yet lots of volume. A concert quality guitar and one of a kind. $1095.

 

 

Ramirez Classical Guitar Model R2 2003

This is a very nice Ramirez from '03. The top is solid Red Canadian Cedar, the solid sides and laminated back are Indian Rosewood, the neck is Spanish Cedar and the fingerboard is Ebony. This is a 650 mm scale guitar with a 2" nut, dimensions that make it very modern and playable. The tone is clear and well balanced and it projects well. New Augustine strings and the intonation is spot on. A wonderful instrument. Comes with the gray Humicase.  $1050

 

 

John Gaunt Classical Guitar- 1976

 I bought this instrument on a trip to England in the Spring of 2010. It is a guitar made by an individual luthier in Maidstone, England, dated 4-3-76, number 3. The top is solid cedar and the back and sides are solid rosewood. The back has a couple of repaired cracks, but otherwise the instrument is structurally sound. Plays easily and has great tone and balance. I like finding these jewels and it is so nice to know that someone has taken care of such  a fine instrument for now close to thirty five years. Nice engraved tuners. This one comes in a modern Stagg case.

With case    $1095

 

 

Yamaha CG-180SA    The CG-180SA was Yamaha’s top-of-the-line mass produced guitar for the decade of the nineties.  This is a beautiful and sonorous instrument. Solid European Spruce top, select Indian Rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard and Yamaha's best tuners. Currently strung with Augustine Regals. The headstock sustained some damage, was professionally repaired, and is slightly noticeable on the back of the neck up near the headstock, opposite the nut.   $555 with it’s original brown  hardshell case.

 

 

 

 

Yamaha No.150 Grand Concert Classic -1966- This was the top of the line, handcrafted guitar, offered by Yamaha as they broke in to the US markets with classical guitars in 1966. The back and sides are made from the finest selected and matched solid rosewood with inlaid wood marquertry trim. The top is made from the finest select close-grained solid spruce. The Ramirez-style top bracing provides a certain acoustical correctness. The neck is mahogany and the headstock is faced with rosewood.  The bridge and fingerboard are done in rosewood and the soundhole is outlined with an exquisite, five-color Spanish-style inlay. The frets are nickel silver and the decorative engraved machine heads are nickel plated with ivory colored buttons. The back and edges have an inlay of black purfling. Length is 38 5/16 inches and the width is 14 9/16 inches. The balance and clarity of this well-crafted instrument reflect the quality of the materials and the meticulous skill of the craftsmen who built it 43 years ago.
 $475
 

 

 

 

Gibson C-100 Classical Guitar -1971- This is a vintage Gibson Classical, a guitar for which Gibson was not really known. But they did make then m and this is a very good example. I bought this is Aspen, Colorado and the story was that a woman brought it in after her husband had passed away, and he had had it for a long time. It's in great shape. New D'Addario strings, Interestingly, the body of this guitar is about one half inch thicker than most classicals. All other dimensions seem about the same. It's just thicker. A cool old guitar. In an old hardshell case that is probably not original. $550.

 

Esteve 1GR3E Classical Guitar$475

This guitar is a full sized classical made by Esteve Guitars in Valencia, Spain. The label inside indicates that it was imported by Fernandez Music in California, and as such, benefits from Ron Fernandez' efforts to individually setup and adjust each instrument that he sells.This guitar has a Mongoy body and a solid top. The fretboard is rosewood and it has deluxe tuners. A beautiful instrument with a full voice. New D'Addario Composites just make it  sound great.

 With gray Humicase, $495

 

 

 Ventura Bruno Classical Guitar- this vintage instrument is in pretty good condition for its' age and plays great. I estimate that it is from the mid-sixties. There are no significant dings or marks, nor cracks or structural issues. I have heard that these are collectible. I bought this from someone who was liquidating the inventory of a music store that went out of business. It has new strings and a fresh polish job on the frets and some Gyser oil on the fretboard. A nice Vintage Classical for the low price of $215.00

 

 

 

 

  

 

 Martin OMC-18 Laurence Juber Signature Model, number 48. This mint condition guitar is one of the limited edition artist models that are limited to rather small quantities and are signed by the artist. With mahogany sides and a beautiful spruce top, a wide nut and increased string spacing, this guitar was built for fingerstyle playing. It has beautiful tone and balance and good volume to boot. Laurence Juber is the modern master of fingerstyle guiter and this is the instrument that he designed for the style. Great crossover steel-string for classical players, due to the wider nut and string spacing.

With Martin-TKL Geib style case. $2999

 

 

 Old Kraftsman Archtop  This guitar was purchased by a friend in 1946 from a Montgomery Ward catalog. This was his first purchase upon returning from World War II. He gave it two me a few years ago because he knows that I love guitars and would appreciate it. When I received it, the neck had pulled off and the top was cracked along the grain. Those two problems have been professionally repaired and this old jazz guitar sounds pretty jazzy. With original wheat-colored fibreboard case, $475.

  

 

Yamaha FG-260 12 String --from the early 70's- This is a nicely kept acoustic 12 string. Spruce top and mahogany back and sides.
