1983 Yairi DY 47 Sunburst Guitar - $899 + $45 S/H/I (US only)

This is one of two Yairi sunburst guitars that we currently have in stock. Beautiful sunburst finish, and the binding and bridge pins have aged to a nice yellow color. Overall condition is very good.

There are a few scratches and dings here and there, but nothing worth specifically mentioning. There has never been a strap button installed on the heel of this instrument. It has one repaired crack in the top right at the seam behind the bridge. There is also a crack that runs through the bridge pins on the saddle. This has been glued, but has never seemed to affect the tuning or the fit of the bridge pins. The finish is bubbled on the front of the peghead underneath several of the tuners. New compensated bone saddle and bone nut. Virtually no fingerboard or fret wear. Beautiful guitar, beautiful tone & great volume. No case with this guitar.

1984 Yairi DY 45 Sunburst Guitar w/Case - $899 + $50 S/H/I (US only)

SOLD! This is the second of two Yairi sunburst guitars that we currently have in stock. Beautiful sunburst finish with dark tortoise-like binding. Overall condition is very good with the exception of the scratches on the front (which are only cosmetic in nature).

The top is pretty well scratched up and may have had the finish touched up -- I can't tell. If it has been touched up, it was done very well! The rest of the guitar has only a few scratches and dings and is in excellent condition. It appears to have original bone saddle & nut. Light fingerboard and fret wear. There is a strap button installed on the heel. The picture of the back of the peghead shows some dirt that I failed to see and clean off before I took the picture. I have since cleaned this off. Comparing the tone of both of our Yairi's, I would say they are about equal in volume, but this particular one has a slightly deeper tone quality. Comes with a used hard case.

Used Black Austin AU506BK Guitar - $130 Including S/H (US only)

Looking for a Johnny Cash guitar? This beautiful used Austin may be just the model! The Austin brand is made by the Alvarez company. The guitar is only a few years old, but the binding has a slightly yellowed tint to it, giving it that nice, aged appearance. The overall condition of this guitar is excellent. It has only one ding to mention on the lower side of the top (please see the photo). Virtually no scratches and no other dings. No fingerboard or fret wear. No case.

Used Ibanez Guitar w/TKL hard case - $299 + $40 S/H/I (US only)

Wow! Wow! Wow! Here is a real beauty! This used Ibanez EW20ASNT guitar looks brand new! It has some of the most gorgeous flamed wood I've ever seen on a guitar. I don't see any dings at all on this guitar, and only very, very slight scratches in the finish if I look really hard in the light. No fret or fingerboard wear. I think this guitar spent its life inside the included TKL hard case. Nice abalone inlay around the soundhole. No strap button has every been installed on the heel of the instrument. If you're wanting a full-bodied guitar that has the look and sound to die for, this one is it! You won't be disappointed!

1974 Martin D-18 Sunburst Guitar - $2250 FREE S/H (US only)

This Martin guitar would make a nice player or collectible. With its sunburst finish, it is more uncommon than other Martin guitars.

The overall condition is good. There are scratches and dings consistant with age. There has never been a strap button installed on the heel of this instrument. It has one repaired crack in the top. Nice saddle height -- neck has just been reset. (The pictures were taken before the neck reset, so the saddle appears low in the photos.) Very little fingerboard wear, and virtually no fret wear.

This is really a neat guitar! I haven't seen another one like it, though I know they exist. It has a very nice tone quality, and is loud in volume. No case with this guitar.

This Martin D-35 guitar is in very good condition. Wide grain spruce top, rosewood back and sides, bound ebony fingerboard. Minimal fret wear at the first three frets. There are a few capo marks on the back of the neck. New bone nut and saddle. Light dings/scratches overall, but still a very nice looking guitar. Low action.

The D-35 is normally a rhythm guitar, but also sounds very good for flatpicking. Comes with new generic hard shell case.

This Martin D-18VS guitar is in excellent condition. Medium grain spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge with through saddle. Minimal fret wear. Bone nut and saddle.

Unknown Martin Guitar - $865 FREE S/H (US only)

I believe this is an early 90's Martin D-16H. Has Herringbone rosette around soundhole and herringbone stripe on back, rosewood fingerboard and bridge with abalone snowflake inlays. Nicely aged, fine-grained Sitka spruce top. Mahogany back, sides and neck. This guitar was the predecessor to the D-18V. Coverplate on the neck block was removed when someone installed a pick-up (see photo). This guitar has no serial number or model number stamp. Has a bolt-on neck. Has C.F. Martin & Co. stamp on the back center seam brace (as seen in photo). Has a compensated saddle. There is a cigarette burn on the front of the peghead. Has long stable top crack on the bass side. Has long stable cracks, unprofessionally glued, around most of the sides. All cracks appear stable, but are "ugly." Includes under-the-saddle pickup which is currently installed on the guitar. Unknown brand. (Plugs into the end pin.) Strap button installed on the back of the heel. Tortoiseshell binding. Some scratching and dings overall. Bluegrass action. Loud, ringing, wonderful tone quality! Here is your chance to own a great-sounding Martin for a great price because of the missing information. No case.

Doc Watson Gallagher Guitar w/Hard Shell Case - $1950 FREE S/H (US only)

Beautiful used guitar in fantastic condition. This guitar is on consignment at our shop and is factory marked with serial number 2630. Practically no scratches or wear marks. The only thing to note about it is that there is an extra screw hole in the heel where the neck strap button used to be. A new neck strap button was then added to the side of the heel. This is the only issue the guitar has, and it is strictly cosmetic. It has a wonderful, full tone, and has new strings that were just put on it.
