Gibson-made Recording King model M-5 Their "L-5" type, from the Kokomo Collection, this was carefully converted to a bar pickup electric by luthier Rich Hoeg (legendary Modulus custom builder who made all the famous guitars for famous people). It has an original 1939 Recording King Charlie Christian pickup, and bound tortoise shell pickguard, looks dead-on factory original. It was an okay acoustic, but it's amazing as a Gibson-made art deco fancy Chrlie Christian electric - a one-of-a-kind fancy early jazz guitar. It was one of the showpieces of the Kokomo Collection. With original hardshell case...

Dobro Archtop Electric with Bar Pickup No F-holes, a very rare and unusual example, it's a small archtop body - lower bout only 13-3/4" wide, upper bout 9-1/4" wide, 3-1/2" deep, has a huge V neck, 25" scale, arched top and back. Has the earliest bar pickup, that actually goes under the bridge slightly, set up for regular guitar playing (bone nut changed). The output jack is on the bass side of the body, so it's likely this was originally sold as an electrick Hawaiian slide guitar. This guitar is all original except hte nut, has deco plastick headstock veneero with Dobro engraved in the plastic, the pickguard is the same material as the headstock, with beveled edges, the neck is perfectly straight, frets are fine, no problems at all. The whole guitar is very clean and nice. Extremely rare model, just in... View front close-up back back close-up headstock neck bridge |

History Brand L-5CN These were what brought on the threatened lawsuits by Gibson, and they never came to the U.S.A. - has the dead-on Gibson headstock shape, beautifully made, lightweight and responsive, nice wide C neck. Fancy woods and appointments, an historically important guitar that will go way up in value. Sell with original hard case for the same price as the Ibanez L-5C (which are much more common and not as accurate) for... View front-side close-up headstock back-side close-up back close-up |

National Archtop Electric The early one with their first version of the bar pickup in a deco pickup mount, all-original guitar in pretty nice condition, had been set up with a high bone nut and played Hawaiian slide style for decades, no truss rod, so the heavy guage strings have bent the neck up - could have the "heat treatment" to straighten the neck and/or reset the neck, etc., but that's why it's cheap - the only repair is an old crack in the neck heel approximately one inch from the heel cap. These sell for $1,000 - $1,500 when straight, sell with case for... View front close-up back back close-up headstock |

National Tenor Archtop Electric A very rare guitar and the only one I've ever seen. Very fancy pearl inlays on the headstock with the National "Shield" on the back of the headstock. Check out the graveyard dust on this thing, sat for decades in storeroom, is in actually very nice condition, just needs a very deep cleaning. Everything is there except hte bridge, neck is straight and will play very nicely, has a wild looking very early bar pickup - the Tiny Grimes tenor jazz thing... Just in...

National "Memphis Minnie" Archtop Electric A very rare guitar, nice condition. I've seen most of these without F-holes, a few with, this one has F-holes and it looks stock, but my radar beeps that these F-holes were added later - way back, probably in the 1930s. If so, it just makes the price right and affordable - looks stock still. Nice all-original condition and parts, neck is straight, very deco headstock and appointments. A very cool, very rare guitar - I've seen them bring $1,500 - $1,800, sell this example with case for... View front close-up back close-up headstock headstock back |

Sherwood Deluxe Bar pickup archtop electric guitar, made by Kay Co., Chicago. There were many levels of quality, from budget cheapos to pro-quality, and this is one of the nicer higher end pro-quality ones. Big 17" wide body, beautiful highly figured curly maple back and rims, laminated spruce arched top. All factory except changed tuners (years ago) with correct replacements, and the output jack was replaced with the correct type, otherwise it's all still there (rare). This is the guitar that Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup used and had promo photos taken with (this type, not this actual guitar). Has a wonderful completely authentic sound taht new guitars cannot do. The neck is up some, but still palyable - easy to remedy if you want (heat treat the neck for around $50). Rare guitar, just in... View front close-up back headstock knobs |
