2005 Gibson Southern Jumbo - Slope shouldered Southern Jumbo from 2005. Tuners upgraded to Kluson style Schallers with an 18 to 1 gear ratio. Factory installed pickup and endpin preamp sounds full and even without any onboard controls to mess up the sound acoustically. Plug it in and go. Belly up bridge and parallelogram markers are a visual blast from the past. Formerly pro owned and set up very nicely. Very minor wear. I don't think Gibson is making this model anymore except for the Kris Kristofferson signature version which is a real shame.

Ralph Prather Handbuilt - I love a good story and this guitar has one. Guitar got traded in to my shop with no information as to what it was. It's signed inside "R.L. Prather Vinegrove KY". It's also dated on the neck block "5-83". Took a lot of research and messing about but I finally located Ralph Prather alive and well and sitting on his porch in Vinegrove Kentucky. This is the 3rd guitar he built out of a total of 6. Ralph wanted a Martin D-18 and couldn't afford one so he decided to build one. He ordered all the best wood he could get, built his own jigs and this is the result. Not a trained luthier the guitar has some rustic charm to it. Chunky neck, no truss rod (like an old Martin) herringbone trim and so on. All I can tell you is it turned out nice. Ralph worked at Fort Knox most of his life and neither he nor I have any idea how this ended up on the West Coast of Canada. Ralph is now 68 years old and still plays one of the guitars he built. Great guitar with an even better story. Cool!! $999.95

Tonemaster - I've been at this a long time and I have never run across one of these before. Kind of a mystery. Although not apparent in the photo, front is VERY lacquer checked.
