This vintage 1934 Gibson Roy Smeck begs to be played, and you can hear the decades of blues underneath your fingertips. In a word, it’s raucous. The neck is sturdy and warm to the touch, with a low action that’s sweet on the fingers and easy on the ears, and it’s got plenty of woody bark as a strummer thanks to the remarkably lightweight combination of Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides. The body has been refinished and has some scratching, and the tuners have been replaced, but this Gibson looks so confident and well-seasoned, you know it’ll be a fun ride each time you sit down to play. This guitar is unstoppable, like an old Ford truck on its second coat of paint.

Add to Compare2006 Gibson L-7 Master Museum Flamed Maple/Sitka
Ren Ferguson has built up a reputation over at Gibson that rivals that of the late, great Lloyd Loar. In 1992 Ren began hand making incredible Master Museum model instruments that receive higher and higher praises with each passing year.
Ren’s artistry and handiwork is evident in every aspect of the build. The Rococo stylings of the piece are seen in the ornately relief carved Sitka Spruce top and master grade Flamed Maple back, as well as the feather plume heel design and hand cut inlay adorning the fingerboard and headstock. This collector piece has excellent, dry sustain and thickness to the voice that make it one you’ll want to play just as much as look at. It is truly a singing work of art.

Add to CompareLate 40s Gibson LG-1 Mahogany/Spruce
Old instruments have a vibe to them that can’t be quenched. They have seen the years and miles pass before them and continued playing, strong as ever, into the modern era. And in the case of this Gibson LG-1, we are particularly glad that it made it into our hands. This ladder braced beauty has a beautiful burst finish that appears to have been oversprayed with a clear coat at some point in its past to preserve its integrity (and since has been played some more!). The Mahogany and Spruce pair perfectly for a boxy, bluesy sound. Try a fingerstyle blues, slide, or ragtime piece on this guitar and you’ll be sold on it then and there! Come get it before Al does!
