Tanglewood TAB1CE No. 1

2016-11-07T17:41:00.002-08:00

I made this guitar out of what I believe to be a 2015 English made Tanglewood TAB1CE in outstanding condition. This guitar shows very little sign of use. It has a beautiful abalone inlay on the headstock and has the feel of a Martin. I have finished it with a sound port and chrome tuners. In my opinion this is among the very best sounding I have made to date and I will make more if I can. I got a really great deal on the bass so I am selling it on eBay without a case for $549. At the time of this writing I do have a used hard case available for an additional $75 plus shipping. Sold - Thanks John!

Michael Kelly Dragonfly No. 7

2016-10-30T15:29:00.001-07:00

I made this guitar out of what I believe to be a 2005 Michael Kelly Dragonfly in outstanding condition. This guitar shows very little sign of use and I saw no imperfections while converting it. It has a beautiful mother-of-pearl inlay on the headstock, a gorgeous abalone rosette, and an amazing vine and dragonfly inlaid neck. I have finished it with a sound port and chrome tuners. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful guitars I make and is among the very best sounding I make as well.

Lucida No. 1

2016-10-14T20:12:00.002-07:00

I have been asked on several occasions if I could make a 12 string baritone, or an 8 string baritone, or a baritone with a wider neck. This instrument will do all of these things. I built it for myself as a proof of concept before making more. But it turned out so well that I can’t keep it for myself. Since I got a deal on it, it is likely to be the least expensive of its kind if I make more.

I made this instrument out of a Lucida LG-BS1-G bajo sexto blem of unknown year. It is currently strung as a baritone 12 string tuned A-A. The bottom 8 strings are in octave pairs and the top 4 strings are unison pairs – just like a regular 12 only tuned down a 5^th. It does have a small finish issue at the binding on the top lower bout that I have pictured. It is a color issue – the finish is smooth. It also has a couple of light scratches on the back.

It has a sound port and I can string and set this guitar up as a 12, 8, or 6 string guitar – it’s up to you. I am selling this guitar on eBay for $449 without a case.

Alvarez RB30 No. 11

2016-10-02T11:04:00.001-07:00

I made this baritone from what I believe is a 2002 Alvarez RB-30 NAT that is just beginning to age wonderfully. It does have a few dings on the top that I have tried to picture. They are pretty small but noticeable. It has a scratch or two on the back and on the sides that I saw in reflection while I was converting it but they are insignificant and I can’t picture them. It has beautiful but understated inlays on the headstock and rosette and I have finished it with a sound port and gold tuners. These Alvarez baritones are among the best sounding that I make and among the most praised by their owners. This instrument’s sustain is incredible. I am selling it without a case for $499 and as of this writing I do have a hard case available for an additional $75. Sold - Thanks James!

I made this baritone guitar out of A Dean SB1000 CE of unknown year – it has no serial number. It is CE NS in great shape. It does show some signs of use and a few small flaws but nothing immediately noticeable. It has a nice low action and a sound port. It has beautiful mother of pearl and abalone headstock inlays, gold tuners, and a very nice abalone rosette. It I am selling this beautiful and great sounding guitar without a case on eBay for $449.

Ibanez AEB45-LG No. 2

2016-10-02T10:52:00.002-07:00

I made this baritone guitar out of what I believe to be a lightly used Korean made 1998 Ibanez AEB45-LG in excellent condition. It has one nick in the finish on the top below the bridge at the 6^th string – likely made by a ball end. Other than that I found no flaws. It has a thinner body than many of my guitars but the sound and projection does not seem to suffer from it when played acoustically. This is a beautiful guitar that is beginning to age very nicely. I have finished it with chrome tuners and a sound port. I am selling it on eBay for $399 with no case. As of this writing I do have a hard case available for an additional $75. Vern's Guitar.

Austin BCA3 No. 1

2016-09-04T18:49:00.000-07:00

I made this baritone guitar out of what I believe to be a 2008 Austin BCA3 that is in very nearly perfect condition. I found only small signs of use when I was converting it. This guitar is huge and sounds as good as any guitar I make. I can’t find any information on this model on the internet. I believe that the top is a spruce laminate and the back, sides and neck are mahogany. It appears to have a rosewood fingerboard and rosewood bridge and it has a beautiful mother of pearl inlay on the headstock. I put in a new bone nut and saddle and I have finished it with chrome hardware and a sound port. I it has a Q-PH active EQ preamp that sounds great plugged in.

Michael Kelly Club Custom No. 16

2016-09-04T18:05:00.000-07:00

I made this baritone from what I believe is a 2010 Michael Kelly Club Custom 4N in great condition. The only imperfection I noticed was a hairline crack in the finish just below the bridge. It is not visible without looking for it. Other than that, this instrument shows very few signs of use. It has a beautiful mother-of-pearl inlay on the headstock and a gorgeous abalone rosette. I have finished it with a sound port and chrome tuners. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful guitars I make and is among the very best sounding I make as well.

Luna LAB Tribal No. 1

2016-09-04T14:48:00.003-07:00

I made this baritone from what I believe to be a 2015 Luna LAB30 Tribal in very good condition. I saw no flaws when I converted it other than a very small ding on the top front of the headstock. You might be able to notice it in the pictures, maybe not. This is my smallest guitar to date other than the Alvarez MSB-1s that I have made but it puts out a lot of sound. It can be played anywhere between A-A and E-E like a normal guitar depending on the strings used and whether or not it is played amplified. I have finished it with a bone nut and saddle, gold tuners, and a sound port. I am selling it on eBay with no case for $479. As of this writing I do not have a case that will fit it properly but I may by the time of sale. If I do, it will be an additional $75. Sold - Thanks Norm!

Michael Kelly Club Custom No. 15

2016-08-14T13:27:00.003-07:00

I made this baritone from what I believe is a 2013 Michael Kelly Club Custom 4N in very good condition. It has a finish scrape about half the size of a dime by the end pin that can easily be seen if you are looking at the end of the guitar. It also has a finish chip on the headstock by the tuner for string 1. I have minimized that chip and it is not immediately visible without looking for it. Other than that, this instrument shows very few signs of use. It has a beautiful mother-of-pearl inlay on the headstock and a gorgeous abalone rosette. I have finished it with a sound port and gold tuners. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful guitars I make and is among the very best sounding I make as well.

Fender BG-29 No. 5

2016-08-14T08:57:00.000-07:00

I made this baritone from what I believe to be a 1995 Korean made Fender BG-29 that is starting to age nicely. I bought it as a hulk with no electronics package, no saddle and no tuners. It does have a few nicks and dings but for the most part it is a very shiny black guitar. Unlike the other Fender BG-29s that I have made, this one seems to play very well with a standard A-A tuning. With ultra light strings it should also be able to tune up to a regular E-E tuning. I have finished it with a new EQ package and pickup, a bone nut and saddle, chrome tuners, and a sound port. I am selling it on eBay with no case for $369. As of this writing I do have a used hard case available for an additional $75. Sold - Thanks Alex!

Hohner EAB 65 No. 6

2015-10-25T12:17:00.004-07:00

I made this baritone out of what I believe to be a 2002 Hohner EAB 65 in brand new and unused condition. It was still in the plastic when I got it and has all of the manufacturer’s tags. It has a couple of very small milky spots in the finish that are not noticeable unless you are looking for them. This particular model is my favorite and the model I choose to jam and gig with. It is among my top sounding guitars and I love the neck. The use of the Ovangkol wood also makes this a very beautiful guitar. I finished it with gold tuners and a sound port. I am selling it on eBay for $679 without a case. As of this writing I do have a very nice hard case available for an additional $75. Sold - thanks Jeff!

Tacoma Olympia OB3CE No. 9

2015-10-25T11:35:00.006-07:00

I made this baritone guitar out of what I believe to be a 2002 Tacoma Olympia OB3CE (basically the Olympia brand of Thundercheif) in very good condition. There are a few small dings on the edge of the head stock and a few other dings on the body but nothing that is immediately visible without very close inspection. I finished it with chrome tuners and a sound port. This is one big beautiful guitar. Out of the nearly 200 guitars I have made so far, this model has the biggest, deepest bottom end tone yet with the possible exception of an actual Tacoma Thunderchief. If you finger pick or don’t strum overly hard you can tune this guitar down to G – G very easily with regular guitar strings and it will still sound great. If you play in situations where there is no bass and you plan on filling in by walking the bass line on your guitar, this is the ideal guitar for you. The owner of the others I have made absolutely love theirs. I am selling this guitar on eBay with no case for $599 plus shipping. As of this writing I do have a hard case in good condition for and additional $75 plus shipping. Sold - Thanks Michael!

2015-09-19T14:31:00.001-07:00

I made this baritone guitar out of what I believe to be a 2008 Laguna LAB5CE. It had some dings on the bottom of the back of the neck that I have filled and smoothed. My hands don’t touch them when I play. The guitar is a beautiful highly figured bubinga laminate. It has beautiful mother of pearl and abalone inlays on the headstock and an abalone rosette. I finished it with gold and chrome hardware and a sound port. This guitar is up there with the best sounding guitars I have made and I hope to make more of them if possible. I am selling it on eBay with no case for $449 due to the imperfections that reduced the price I paid for it. Sold - Thanks Keith!

Rogue II No. 3

2015-07-27T12:18:00.002-07:00

I made this baritone guitar out of a damaged Rogue Series II model AB304MPL. It was a hulk when I got it and was more damaged than was advertised. There is a crush at the bottom edge of the top binding and a split on the side at the bottom by the end pin and a crack in the wood there as well. The end pin was pushed in to the side veneer I believe that I have stabilized all of these issues and that with normal use they should not be a problem and they do not affect the playing in slightest. None of the flaws are immediately obvious and can be seen in picture 6. It has a highly figured top, a beautiful abalone rosette and top bindings, a nice low action and a lot of tone and sustain. I have put in a brand new electronics package that features a tuner. This would be a great guitar for someone who wants a smaller body. No longer available - for Sephora.

I made this baritone guitar out of a brand new Ibanez PCBE12MH. Though this is the first one I have made of this model, similar Ibanez guitars have been favorites with my customers. If this is an average Open Pore model I will make a lot more of them. It sounds incredible. It maybe the best sounding out of all the Ibanez guitars I have made and that is saying a lot. This is a beautiful guitar with a nice low action and a very easy to play 32 inch scale. The tortoise shell rosette is a beautiful deep red. It plays well tuned either A – A or B – B with normal guitar strings. I have finished it with a sound port and gold hardware. I am selling it without a case for $499 on eBay. As of this writing I do have a hard shell case for it for an additional $75 plus shipping. Sold - Thanks Jason!

Resonator Baritone No. 5

2015-07-23T11:31:00.004-07:00

I made this baritone guitar out of a brand new No Label resonator bass and it is the fifth resonator baritone I have made. Usually these inexpensive Chinese resonator basses are very solidly made but have fit and finish issues. This one was no exception. I have gone through it and cleaned up the cone seat and made other minor adjustments to make it sound and play its best. I use one regular .013 guitar string and strings out of a set of D’Addario EXL170-12 Regular Light Gauge bass strings for the rest of the guitar. The guitar is strung .013, .018, .025w, .035, .045, and .080 and it works remarkably well. I have it tuned A – A at the moment but have tested it with the following open tunings:

G-C-G-D-E-G – Plays like open G but is really open C

G-D-G-E-D-G – Plays like open D but is really open G

A-E-A-C#-E-A – Plays like open E but is really open A

The top, back, and sides are natural color. The resonator is a spider cone and the saddle is bone. The pickup is a regular under saddle type and not particularly made for resonator guitars but it works well. The down side of that type of pickup is that you cannot adjust the spider without taking the cover off. It sounds great as it is but it would probably “honk” more with a National or Quarterman cone. I have the action set a bit high at the moment for easy open tuning slide play. If you are new to slide I would recommend you keep it there but I would be glad to lower it before shipping if you would like. I am selling it without a case on eBay for $595. For an additional $10 I will include a nut extender that allows the guitar to be played lap style with a tone bar that you will need to supply – there are many styles. For regular slide play you will need to find the one that you like the best. Sold - Thanks John!

I made this baritone guitar out of a brand new inexpensive Chinese no label bass. It was constructed very solidly and has a high gloss finish. It has a very nice abalone rosette and has abalone purling.

I have finished it with a bone nut and saddle, a sound port, and chrome tuners. I am selling it without a case for $399 on eBay.

I made this baritone guitar out of what I believe to be a 2003 Takamine EG512G. The owners of the others I have made love theirs. It has a few small dings on the top that are only visible in reflection and buckle dings on the back that are also only visible in reflection. This is one beautiful guitar that was made in Korea before they moved manufacturing to China. This guitar is among the loudest, best sounding and most beautiful guitars I have made to date and it may very well be the last one I make. It has a beautiful abalone rosette and I have finished it with a sound port and chrome tuners. I am selling it on eBay for $599 without a case. As of this writing I do have a used hard shell case in pretty good condition available domestically for an additional $75. Sold - Thanks Mike!

My 200th Guitar - Martin Sigma No.2

2014-06-01T10:24:00.002-07:00

I made this baritone guitar out of what I believe to be a Korean made1991 Martin Sigma STB-M that has acquired a bit of character over its 23+ years. There are finish cracks along the sides and around the jack and some below the bridge. There are also several small dings but nothing too bad. I can find no official information about this model on the internet but I believe the top is solid spruce and the rest of the guitar is flamed maple with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. I have finished it with a sound port and gold tuners. Even though this guitar shows signs of its age, it is one beautiful and great sounding guitar. Someone is going to love it intensely. Included is a quick connect locking strap for use with the mounted strap locks and the original hard case (a bit rough on the outside but all latches work and the interior is in very good shape. I am selling these on eBay for $549 plus shipping. Sold - Thanks Matt!

Ibanez AEB5E-LVS No. 8

2014-05-31T14:30:00.005-07:00

I made this baritone guitar out of a very lightly played Ibanez AEB5E-LVS. This model of guitar and the other similar Ibanez guitars I have sold are favorites with the people who have bought them. This is a beautiful guitar with a nice low action and a very easy to play 32 inch scale. It plays well tuned either A – A or B – B with normal guitar strings for finger style but plays best tuned B – B if you are a heavy strummer. I have finished it with a sound port and gold hardware. It sounds every bit as good as it looks and is bound to attract plenty of attention. I am selling it without a case for $475 on eBay. I like this particular model so much that I gave one to my dad and he loves it. As of this writing I do have a hard shell case for it for an additional $75 plus shipping.

Kona No. 2

2014-05-31T12:18:00.005-07:00

I made this guitar out of a brand new Kona, I believe it is model KSABNE but the label inside is missing. It still has the plastic on the pick guard and had never been played until I converted it. It did get some scratches and dings on the back somehow but they are not immediately noticable. The action up the neck starts getting high above the 19^th fret but since it is not a cutaway, it’s pretty hard to reach much past there anyway. The sound of this guitar is up there with the very best I make. It is beautiful and has a very nice abalone headstock inlay and I have finished it with chrome tuners and a sound port. I am selling it on eBay for $399. As of this writing I do have a used hard shell case in pretty good condition available for an additional $75 + shipping. Sold - Thanks David!

Breedlove No 5

2014-05-22T17:06:00.002-07:00

I made this baritone out of what I believe to be a 2010 Breedlove Atlas series BJ350/SMe4 in very good condition. I found no noticeable imperfections while converting the guitar other than very slight wear – this guitar has hardly been played. It has a very nice mother of pearl headstock inlay and a beautiful abalone rosette. It features a great sounding and sought after L.R. Baggs preamp. I finished it with a sound port and chrome hardware. This guitar is one of the best sounding I have made and I will make more of them in the unlikely event I can find more of them at the same price. I am tempted to keep this one myself and it and all of my guitars are for sale locally so it may be gone fast. I am selling it on eBay for $699 or make me a similar offer on the Michael Kelly Dragonfly shown on my website and I will keep this one. I have a used Breedlove hard case complete with key available that has an aftermarket handle for an additional $75. Sold - Thanks Bill!
