Featured: Ken Parker Inner Peace Archtop, 2012

His creativity shines through everything from his groundbreaking Parker Fly electric to his visionary reinvention of the archtop guitar. Through countless conversations over the years, I've witnessed his relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation—always seeking better ways to bring musical ideas to life. His knowledge of guitar building runs extraordinarily deep.

Featured: Fender Jimmy Page Signature Telecaster, 2020

"My decades as a professional guitarist and collector have built deep friendships across the guitar community, occasionally allowing me to cherry-pick special instruments like this. Here, we have a Fender Custom Shop vintage-vibed Tele based on Jimmy's own instrument. The White Blonde finish has that perfect Journeyman aging—not overdone, just enough character to feel immediately familiar in your hands. The 7.25" radius and comfortable neck dimensions (.81" at the first fret to .96" at the twelfth) create that authentic early Telecaster feel that's simply timeless..." - Craig

Featured: Circa 12 Fret 0028

"I commissioned this breathtaking 0028 directly from John Slobod, widely regarded as one of the country's premier builders of Martin-style guitars. As a dealer for Circa guitars, I'm particularly proud to offer this spellbinding instrument that represents John's mastery at its finest. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a pristine, master-grade instrument without the typical wait time associated with Slobod's sought-after builds.

Featured: Nik Forster Semi Acoustic Archtop Charlie, 2012

"This preowned 2012 Nik Forster archtop guitar. "Charlie" (as the model is known) is a uniquely designed, hand-carved hollow body archtop. Nik is a great builder, and this Charlie is beautifully made. Every part of this guitar is imbued with Nik's thinking and execution. I think it's perfect for the archtop player who wants to take a deeper dive into the electric world, as its full-body neck adds electric guitar benefits with classic archtop construction.

"The long flamed maple and ebony neck lays over the carved German spruce top and is seated directly on the Sri Lankan ebony bridge. Nik feels that this design provides the player with the response one would normally find on an electric guitar. The acoustic tone of the smaller body is distinctive yet familiar, and its size and weight provide a really comfortable playing experience..." - Craig

Featured: Dantzig Tulsa Korina G-90, 2022

"This Dantzig Tulsa Korina G-90 brilliantly captures what makes the Tulsa model so special—the perfect blend of long-scale shimmer and short-scale grunt. The 2-piece korina body, combined with the 25.5” scale, delivers a remarkable tonal palette that feels familiar yet fresh.

"The P90 pickups are an ideal match for this design, providing clarity with just the right amount of muscle. For Tele and Strat players looking to add some Les Paul power without sacrificing their rhythm sound, this G-90 hits the sweet spot perfectly. Gibson players will find this guitar opens up new tonal territories while still feeling like an old friend..." - Craig

Featured: Sadowsky S-Style Mango

"What really excites me about this Sadowsky S-Style is the unique pickup configuration - three Firebird pickups in an S-style format. It's a brilliant choice that delivers all the chime and clarity you'd expect, but with an added dose of power and midrange complexity, it's addictive. Combine that with Roger's proprietary preamp system and that push-pull tone knob for neck/bridge combinations, and you've got an absolutely stunning array of tonal possibilities at your fingertips.

"The roasted maple neck with its Amazon rosewood fingerboard is another masterful touch. The 12" radius and 1 11/16" nut width provide a perfect platform for any playing style, while the roasting process ensures exceptional stability and a wonderfully organic feel...'" - Craig

Featured: Sadowsky NYC Custom Buckeye Burl S-Style

"Viewing this S-Style beauty for the first time, I was immediately struck by its stunning combination of the mastergrade buckeye burl top against the classic alder body. This is a guitar that manages to blend traditional S-Style DNA with unique modern refinements in an absolutely captivating way.

"Its three P90 pickups serve up a remarkable tonal palette, from classic Strat sounds to snarling P90 powerhouse punch. Sadowsky's preamp and midboost electronics further enhance the sonic possibilities, and the lightweight 6.6 lb body ensures excellent resonance and playing comfort...'" - Craig

Featured: Bill Tippin DST 12 Brazilian Rosewood, 2003

"The Bill Tippin DST 12-string is truly extraordinary. The rare and unique red birdseye Brazilian rosewood back and sides are not just visually stunning, but contribute to an absolutely magical voice that sets this 12-string apart. Paired with a master grade Adirondack red spruce top, the tone is remarkably rich and full-bodied, with a luscious quality that makes every chord shimmer and sustain beautifully.

"Having been recently refreshed by Bill Tippin with new frets and finish, this 2003 instrument plays and looks like it just left Bill's bench for the first time. The elegant mother of pearl and blue abalone neck inlay, along with the matching Martin torch headstock inlay, showcase the refined artistic touches that make Tippin's work so special...'" - Craig

"The 2012 Michi Matsuda 7 string acoustic is a remarkable instrument that showcases Michi Matsuda's exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design skills. This special-order guitar combines traditional elements with modern features, creating a unique and inspiring instrument.

"The M1 body shape’s cutaway offers excellent playability, while the 7-string configuration with a low B significantly expands its tonal range. The fanned fret design (25 1/4" to 26 1/4" scale) optimizes string tension and intonation across all strings..." - Craig

Featured: Kraut OMC Nouveau

"Something remarkable happened when Ray Kraut created this fabulous guitar - in the way it looks (which you can see in the photos) and its stunning sound. Ray has stepped up and created a next-level build for me, a modern OMC monster of a guitar. This beauty is a guitar that enhances whatever you play without limits. Strum like a madman, and it will erupt with every strike. Brush with your fingers, and she'll whisper in your ear. Sonically, it's a 3-D experience. The unique and elegant sound port surrounds the player with an honest and woody tonal mist..." - Craig
