racing stripes we love so well.

HM - 0001 1938 Bronson
Honolulu Master Hawaiian Guitar EXC Well
folks, it just doesn't get much better than this.
16 3/4" lower bout ! 4 1/2" Deep !
1 7/8" nut width 25 1/2" scale length
This thing sounds like a piano !
All original and in
beautiful condition with few solidly repaired cracks on it's bodacious
pearl trimmed spruce
top. Brazilian rosewood
back and sides. Large three piece laminated mahogany
square neck
combined with a nicely radiused rosewood fingerboard and radiused
compensated bridge saddle beg the question: "To convert or not to
convert?" While exceedingly rare and now all original .... this
baby would make one heck of a fine spanish style guitar. Art Deco
abounds here in the engraved fingerboard inlays and on one of the
most 'perfect' Hawaiian
headstock designs ever. Original engraved tuning pegs. Hard shell
case.
Price: $5650.00

KA - 0001 1934 Kay Wood
Amplifying Guitar EXC Extremely rare all
original example from the earliest years of the Kay Musical Instrument
Company in Chicago. It's in beautiful condition and has a great woody
'resonant' sound just picked and really comes alive when you slide that
bottleneck onto it. The
top has a sunburst bound wooden coverplate under which is a
wooden resonating
chamber with a trough that 'feeds' the sound upward to the dual grille
holes. It's a big guitar with a 15 3/4" lower bout and a 25 3/4" scale
length. Nut width is 1 23/32". It is bound top, back and neck and it's
sunburst all over, including the
top and back as well as
the sides and the back of the neck. It sports the patented Stromberg-
Voisinette neck angle
adjuster mechanism that actually allows you to change the neck
angle without steam and glue and all the messy stuff. It has it's
original tuning pegs and
the headstock logo is in
beautiful shape. It has been recently set up John Knutson and is
in fine fettle. This is only the second one of these I've ever seen and
it is an exceptional specimen.
No case but we'll ship securely.

the peghead. Original hard
shell case is in pretty nice shape.
Price: $975.00 Reduced: $795.00
LS - 00029 1939 Epiphone
Electar Zephyr VG This is a rare model in very
nice condition. The tuning
pegs are the same ones that come on 30's Martins with one shaft
slightly bent but working fine. Big chrome cover protects the big pickup and the Master Voicer
control lets you be 'mellow', 'normal', or ... 'brilliant'. The
Epiphone shield proudly resides on the peghead and the original case with the embossed "E"
on the inside is in nice shape.
Price: $650.00
