Huss & Daltons are <i>fancy </i>guitars and especially popular in the southern half of the country in bluegrass and old-time circles. This one is a TD-M model and thus a copycat of a '30s-style Martin D-18. It's spruce over mahogany, of course, and sounds like <i>the biz</i>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There's not much else to say -- if you know these guitars, you know that they're top-flight and in the same league as Bourgeois and Santa Cruz and the like. As you might expect, it handles and sounds like a vintage Martin.

I've actually had the good fortune to play a number of his instruments over the years, though most have been gypsy-jazz style guitars. This mandocello has some of that styling involved in its design but it also has that sort of "modern, classic archtop" look as well -- especially with the cello-like, pin-loaded tailpiece.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's a flattop instrument with stiffer bracing, however, which gives it, overall, a celtic-like tone. It's brighter, even, sustained, and clean-sounding with a lot of push in the upper-mids. This is the perfect combination if you want this thing to cut in a group mix with guitars and mandolins and whatnot. It's <i>not </i>the perfect combination if you want to have a luxurious, super-mellow, super-warm, <i>cello-like </i>sound. From my experience with mandocellos, you just can't have <i>both </i>of these worlds. You have to shoot for one or the other.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's solid spruce in the top, solid flamed maple in the back and sides, has a flamed maple neck, and ebony board and bridge. The bridge is "adjustable" via shims under the saddle -- a thankful addition. I <i>almost </i>made a fully-adjustable bridge for this instrument because the action had gotten on the high side, but I decided to shave the bottom of the bridge and adjust the saddle with shims instead.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This was a team effort with Ancel -- he leveled/dressed the frets and I did the glorified setup work. I'm very impressed by the neck stability on this -- it barely needed any truss rod adjustment and the neck is thin and <i>very </i>fast. The strings on this (74w-22w or so) are brutal heavy and that's quite an achievement.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is a customer's instrument and not for sale -- at least at the moment!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

So, here's what I wrote before...</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Nick Gregory<span style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;">is a</span><span style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;"> </span>small-shop builder<span style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;">up here in Vermont. He's a friend of a friend and we met just the other day. He's</span><span style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;"> </span><i style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;">passionate </i><span style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;">about his work, that's for sure. This guitar's back, sides, and neck are cut from a walnut tree he felled himself. The other work I've seen of his (an amoeboid electric, for instance) are much like this one -- organic-looking, curvy, and with a lot of odd and interesting features that betray an overactive mind (a good thing) and a focus towards making the instrument accessible and very</span><span style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;"> </span><i style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;">playable </i><span style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px;">(also a good thing).</span></p><div style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">He built this one back in 2015 and it's a little rough around the edges here and there, but I gather it was a bit prototypical when he made it. There's a lot of complicated joints that this guitar needed solutions for, for sure! It's held-up well, though, and the super-stable (and comfortable) neck is thankfully trouble-free. That's the first thing I look for in a small-shop guitar -- can the maker build a good, stable neck? If not, then I don't see the point in being in business building guitars in the modern age -- and <i>believe </i>me, I've seen enough extra-boutique guitars with finicky necks to let you know that there's folks that <i>know </i>and folks that <i>don't</i>.</div><div style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">The top and back are fully-carved and they're set over thin-depth (2 3/8") sides. The top is x-braced, carved spruce while the back and sides are walnut. I almost wish that Mr. Gregory had left this guitar fully-acoustic, too, because its natural acoustic voice is impressive as heck. This thing would go toe-to-toe with any good mid-'30s Gibson or Epiphone carved-top in the 16" body range and at the same time it has better fret access and a smaller profile in the lap. That's some good work, sir. But -- ya know -- having a pickup to jack-in doesn't hurt, either.</div><div style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">It has a 24 5/8" scale and a medium-C neck with 10-12" radius on the fretboard, so to me it feels like "Gibson home base" for the left hand. I like it. There are even little "aircraft carrier" carved-detail edges where the neck runs over the body."</div><div style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">Now, back to our current 2024! Back in 2019 my buddy Rick bought this guitar from Nick and has been using it off and on for gigs ever since. It's gained some wear and tear, lost the original tailpiece (the brass hanger for it broke and the bits went flying), and has survived the rigors of heavy-handed Vermont gigging for years, now, without much complaint. It arrived back here just as playable as it left the last time and only needed a tiny bit of adjustments.</div><div style="font-family: Arvo; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>previously -- a fret level/dress, restring with Chromes in 52w-12 gauges, and some setup-side work.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 5 lbs 5 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">24 5/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 11/16"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> medium C</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 10"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">15 1/2"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 1/2"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">solid carved spruce top, solid walnut back/sides</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ebony</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">rosewood or similar</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">walnut</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Pickups: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Alnico-magnet mini-humbucker (Johnny Smith-style)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 1/16” overall (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">52w-12 Chromes (I think)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Truss rod: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">medium-wider</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Condition notes: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">it shows some small nicks, dings, and scratches here and there throughout the finish.

Variations of this model have been made for a little over a decade but this one's pretty spiffy in its sunburst finish. The pickguard is aftermarket but it's otherwise all-original throughout.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tonewise, it's big and full-sounding with good punch, plenty of bass, and a "round" sound to each string. There's a reason this style of guitar has become increasingly-popular lately. The 12-fret neck joint also pulls the neck in closer to your body, too, so even though it has a longer scale length, it feels pretty cozy in the lap as opposed to a 14-fret dreadnought which pushes your left arm out a bit farther.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It only needed a quick setup and it's now playing spot-on and ready to serve. </p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal;

It has an extreme amount of figured maple throughout the back, sides, and neck and a giant, outsized voice with plenty of depth and also clarity to its sound. Not all J-200-style guitars are like this! Many are more on the midsy side but this one has that nice, big, "stone dropped in a deep pond" sound to it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's also in good order and only needed a glorified setup to get it playing spot-on. It's aged-in nicely and the finish shows as a pretty, buttery-light-yellow color throughout. Do I need to say more?

His loss! This guitar is an absolute dreamboat if you're into the Custom Shop light-relic-style guitars. It handles and sounds like a '60s Telecaster and looks <i>gorgeous -- </i>with nicely-done checking all over the finish on the body.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's basically <i>new </i>with just a few hours of play, more than likely, under its belt. It comes with all of the Custom Shop information and details stowed in the (original, quality) case. The frets show only the tiniest wear and it's ready to go after a quick setup and adjustments in the shop.</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>a quick setup.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 7 lbs 3 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">25 1/2"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 5/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> slim-medium C</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 9 1/2"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">12 3/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 3/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">alder</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">traditional 3-saddle</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">rosewood</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">maple</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Pickups: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2x original single coil</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 1/16” overall (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">46w-10</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Truss rod: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">medium modern</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: inherit; font-style: normal;">Condition notes: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">it's almost an <i>as-new </i>guitar as far as I can tell.

It's a high-grade, luthier-built, lightly-made, great-sounding classical that has a "flamenco twist" to its sound. It's close-grained spruce over flamed maple back and sides, fan-braced, and awfully pretty. It has a dovetailed neck joint (curious vs. normal Spanish-style) and the fella who has it here for consignment said he got it from someone who said they'd paid a pretty penny for it. The provenance is lost, however, so all we know is that it's <i>fancy </i>and a custom-built affair -- which is what it <i>looks like</i>. I'm guessing it's probably an American build (or possibly German) judging by the neck joint style.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It dates probably from the mid-'80s and the finish shows that age in fine-line weather-checking throughout, some buckle-rash to the back-upper-bout, and wear and tear to the back of the neck (probably from leaning it against a piece of furniture or the like). It's got slick trim -- wood throughout, and with lots of nice decorative touches -- and seems to be an instrument that was loved for a time and then neglected for decades.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's now playing spot-on and has plenty of saddle height. The action is currently a hair low (just above 1/16" at the 12th fret) and so it's got a bit of a "flamenco snap" to the sound when played aggressively. The action can certainly be bumped-up for more of a classical feel and sound, though, but I do like the maple back and sides for folk-strumming vibes!</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto;

It's got the ebony board and bridge, it's got the multi-ply binding all over, it's got the rosewood back and sides, it's got the killer two-color, big-block pearl inlays in the fretboard, it's got the countrified pickguard and fancy headstock veneer, and it's got the sound and the punch, too.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This one is in excellent shape and has a good, round, velvety sound to it. The neck is very typical for a Guild of the period, too -- quick and fast and with a flatter fretboard. It's definitely a good guitar for a heavy-handed strummer or aggressive flatpicker.</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>a fret level/dress, restring, and setup.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">5 lbs 13 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">25 1/2"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 11/16"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">slim C</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">16"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">15 3/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">5"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Top wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">solid spruce</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Back & sides wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">solid rosewood</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bracing type: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">x</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ebony</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ebony</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">maple</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3/32” bass 1/16” treble (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">54w-12 lights</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Truss rod: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">medium-wider</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Condition notes: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">it's quite clean and appears all-original throughout save perhaps the saddle.

It's built a little heavier (for modern tastes and functionality) and sounds, really, more "robust" because of it. Larrivee guitars from this age seem to be loved and loved and loved to death by their owners and this one definitely has evidence of many years of use and enjoyment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's got good punch and cut despite its size and has a comfy, fast, modern neck profile. It has almost no decorative touches and the understated look goes a long way to making it approachable and friendly.</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>a fret level/dress, hairline crack repair below the bridge on top (cleats and fill) and another to the treble side of the soundhole (small one, with some finish chip-out next to it), cleaning, and setup.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3 lbs 9 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">24"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 3/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">slim C oval</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">16"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">13 1/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3 3/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Top wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">solid spruce</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Back & sides wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">solid mahogany</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bracing type: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">x</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ebony</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ebony</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">mahogany</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3/32” bass 1/16” treble (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">54w-12 lights</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Truss rod: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">medium</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: inherit; font-style: normal;">Condition notes: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">it has a bunch of minor scuffs and scratches throughout the body and some light dings here and there, too. It originally had a clear pickguard but I removed it because it had gotten gummy, black residue around its edges (it looked gross) and I needed to repair a small 1 1/2" hairline crack under it. The saddle is on the lower side but it's still going strong and stable. There's 1mm depth (sideways) of separation at the back of the bridge and the top -- you can only see it if you slide paper under it. It's no worry but I mention for completeness' sake.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Also: </b>the guitar has an undersaddle pickup and jack installed and a lead that runs to a 9V battery terminal taped up at the fretboard extension area. It has no battery installed so I haven't tested it but I assume it would work. If I had my druthers, though, I would simply replace it with a K&K pickup (passive, good sound, easy to live with) instead -- let me know if that sounds good and I would take whatever is in there either <i>out</i>, <i>leave it</i>, or <i>swap it free of charge </i>for a K&K.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal;

I've been playing a Rickenbacker 4001 bass copy and, of late, have been feeling its weight in my shoulder after a couple hours at practices and gigs, so this 5 lb gadget will take its place until the "next good thing" comes along.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It handles a lot like a mixup of a Hofner Beatle Bass and a Fender Mustang and, while it played alright when it arrived, it did need a lot of straightening-out to be its best. That work included fitting a 1/2" dowel running from the neckblock to the endblock inside which helped stabilize the whole thing (Japanese hollowbody instruments from the time tend to be temperamental at the neck joint when they're bolt-ons), a level/dress of the frets, side dots added, a whole new wiring harness (both pots and 3-way switch were on their deathbeds), replacement knobs (the originals were a little wonky), and bridge modification to a <i>rubber saddle </i>loadout. I also strung it with D'Addario tapewounds.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Yes, it's awesome. Yes, I will get a video of it done at some point. I think the whole thing has a little bit of a Plymouth Barracuda look to it ('60s, not '70s)... or a <i>shark </i>kind of thing going-on. If anyone knows the manufacturer for sure, please let me know.

This style of 12-string made by Harmony had a good run, at least!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While most of these guitars are <i>solid birch </i>in the body, I'm pretty sure this one is ply-birch in the top and back at least. I have noticed that the Sears-sold Silvertone models (with the '70s logo) from '70 and '71 (this has a '70 date stamp inside) seem to have ply birch as opposed to the Harmony/Stella versions of the same thing which tend to still have the solid birch as seen in the '60s during the same years.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Is this bad? Well, heck no! It still sounds largely the same as the older models but it's a little brighter, chimier, and punchier but still has that woody <i>clunk and chunk</i>. It's also more durable and functional -- especially if you plan to take a guitar like this all over the place and thump on it, Leadbelly-style.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Post-repairs, it's been stable in service, plays great, and is ready to serve. The giant neck and flat fretboard may be a turnoff if you're not into, <i>erm -- </i>a classical feel? -- but I don't mind the wide spacing and style when using these guitars in the open tunings they're suited-for. I gauged the strings up a notch vs my normal 46w-10 set so that it can handle detuning a bit with the set that's on it.</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>a neck reset, fret level/dress, new rosewood fully-compensated bridge, new bone nut, cleaning, and setup.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">4 lbs 7 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">25 1/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">medium-big D</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">flat</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">15 1/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3 3/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Top wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">birch (possibly ply)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Back & sides wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">birch (possibly ply)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bracing type: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ladder</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">rosewood, fully-compensated</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ebonized maple or similar</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">poplar</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1/16" overall (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">24w/48w, 16/38w, 11/28w, 8/22w, 14/14, 10/10</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Truss rod: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">medium-lower</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Condition notes: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">it's in pretty good shape for its age but does show minor usewear, scuffs, small dings, and scratches, and whatnot throughout the body and neck.

They're extremely practical guitars and have a number of upgrades compared to "normal" American-made Fenders and, of course, as compared to vintage-style hardware and features.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the case of this guitar, the modern 2-point whammy system is a lot more flexible, rugged, and easier to maintain. The spoke-style truss rod adjustment at the heel of the guitar is also easy to live with. The neck has a bit of a retro flavor to it in terms of the back profile but the shallower 12" radius and modern 1 11/16" nut width give it an "everyone's guitar" sort-of feel.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm a fan of the shimmery, metallic-cream finish on this one, too. It's got just enough iridescence to look pretty great when lights hit it. I know in most of the photos it looks like Olympic White but as the light catches it, it gets a pearly look on all the edges.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A <i>huge </i>bonus with this particular guitar is that the owner swapped the original pickups out for a full set of Lollars! It has two Vintage Blonde single coils in the neck and middle positions an an Imperial humbucker with Fender string spacing at the bridge. The original wiring and its cool switches are all in order, too -- there's an S1 switch on top of the volume knob that lets the bridge pickup be active in any position of the 5-way switch -- and an additional "press-in" button on the pickguard that sends the bridge pickup direct to the jack without any wiring in its way -- a <i>rawk </i>switch, as it were... bright and punchy!</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal;

They were all over stages and television at the time. This one is a quintessential '90s Tak as it's a cutaway dreadnought and features "woodsy" or "folksy" trim in its rosette and backstrip. I like the style of these guitars -- they're a bit like a more-relaxed Taylor in presence, feel, and looks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Anyhow, post-repairs this one's ready to go back out into the fray. It has just enough wear and tear to make it a friendly companion and has opened-up nicely into a full-sounding guitar.</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>a fret level/dress, hairline crack repair (cleats and fill) to a crack below the bridge on the top, cleaning, and setup.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">4 lbs 15 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">25 3/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 11/16"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">slim C</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">12"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">15 3/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">4 7/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Top wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">solid spruce</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Back & sides wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">solid rosewood</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bracing type: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">x</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">rosewood</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">rosewood</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">mahogany</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3/32” bass 1/16” treble (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">54w-12 lights</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Truss rod: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">medium modern</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Condition notes: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">it has average usewear (small scritchy-scratch, pickwear at the soundhole, minor scuffs, etc.) throughout and then a hairline crack on the top below the bridge that has been repaired and is ready to go.

This one, like its other ukes in the Martin lineup, is a Style 1 which means it's a basic, mahogany-throughout instrument with the most basic (rosewood, in this case) binding.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When new, it would have been strung in unison (each course with both strings at the same pitch) like a "super ukulele," but when I work on these I usually restring them with the Worth C8 string set which gives octave stringing for the G&C courses (and, being Worths, gives you a full extra set of the strings in the same set). This gives the instrument more of a charango-style lilt... and it's <i>soooo </i>pretty-sounding.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is a customer's instrument that was in for repair. Jose did a level/dress of the frets and I gave it a neck reset, replaced a missing tuner peg, and set it all up. It was otherwise in good order when it arrived (remarkably). It's a beautiful and rare little thing and I'm mildly-jealous of its owner. If it were mine I might have splurged for a set of Gotoh UPTs at the headstock but that's both non-original in looks and would have added considerably to the cost of the instrument. I like their ease of use over wood pegs, though!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I've modified the bridge only slightly -- I drill a small hole hidden in the string-mounting "slot" at the back of the bridge for these so I can "string-through" the strings and thus avoid excessive wear on the bridge. Traditionally, one balls-up the string ends with multiple knots and then just shoves them into the rear slot on the bridge, crosses one's fingers, and hopes that the slots don't tear-out over time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I find passing the string through the tiny hole in the slot (and thus into the inside of the instrument and protruding through the bridge plate), pulling it out the soundhole, balling the end with knots, and then clipping the end and snugging it back up (and then up to the tuner) means that these bridges last a lot longer and there's a lot less stress put on them as the ball-ends are tensioned-up against the bridge plate rather than the very rear of the bridge. If the owner decides to string "as-normal," the tiny hole is hidden anyway, so both methods can be used without uglying-up the uke.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe9ar1AC_Uisb-YGHqKMGIu02EiS0DEdp712Ko3LlJaKSkBlxS_fGo37NPIpHdmWXfQ5bVC3rZS8YSInSuz798HhGpaoFuES6oIHc5rfkUUKkJEt9jc36BdOcvb_uOOEVtjGifHHKag15spIdVNpm8g2a_HkKGN-ZrfM-CGwIdIMYPmfq4wK29FUukraE/s3738/martin-taro-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It's a Style 202 mandolin which means a spruce top over mahogany back and sides and finished in natural. I've worked on a good number of cylinder-back Vega mandolins, now, and all of them have been stunners when they've been gone through -- they play quick and easy, have superb tone (like the warmth of a flatback, the sculpt/punch of an archtop, and the sweet clarity of a good bowlback), and are eminently suited to Celtic-style ramblings or old-time and folksy/rootsy work.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This one arrived at the shop in pretty decent shape but needed, basically, glorified setup work. Between Jose and myself it got fret seating and a level/dress of the frets, bridge compensation, some minor brace repairs to the back, and setup work done. It's now playing spot-on and ready to serve.</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>a fret level/dress, minor hairline crack repair and brace reglues, bridge adjustments, and setup.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 lb 9 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">13 7/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 1/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">medium-full C/D</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">flat</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">9 7/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 3/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Top wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">solid spruce</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Back & sides wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">solid mahogany</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bracing type: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ladder</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ebony</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ebony</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">mahogany</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1/16" (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">36w-10</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">lower/smaller bar stock</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Condition notes: </b>there's an old hairline side crack repair to the bass <i>side </i>that is basically invisible and just looks like lighter grain.

It's a customer's instrument and was in for a brace reglue but we also leveled/dressed the frets and adjusted the setup at the same time. I'd previously done a quick setup on it and modified the bridge to an adjustable format for the owner (as I recall, anyway).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's a great-looking Strad (these were by United in New Jersey -- or the factory that became United) and features the cool, cream-colored "purfled" top edge that Strads tend to have along with the more-open, older-style voicing that old Gibson A-models tend to have. These are not fancy instruments but they sure do punch way above their value-weight.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSCe6R7JqHSek6EKCmE6lJ4ZDcQ7OS3ZVjV4dsoVOJQR-wl7I7N3pcLGcMwi0gP_66sDP_YfEQSzH_JChB_o7aeISt1cqJwnIUeyV4uUr8dG40EC13uwApfU__GiHxZ49ZQMNSsXa2NcFD4xStpnX-YPPoL8gXjt3uS6gYk6x4n2y3sxB_ey2BQnXOv-g/s4000/strad-strad-02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It's just a retailer's mark. Under normal circumstances, this would be branded "Strad-O-Lin" -- which is how we know most of these mandolins. These were made by United in New Jersey -- or the factory that <i>became </i>United, at any rate.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is an early model with an oval soundhole, purfled edges (violin-style), and an outrageously-good voice. It needed a bit of work -- it got a fret level/dress, brace reglue, new adjustable bridge modified and fit, a new set of tuners, a hairline crack repair, seam repairs, and setup stuff.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The top seems to be flatsawn... pine... maybe! The back and sides are figured maple. It's a player's instrument, for sure, and it sounds just as good as it looks bad -- if that makes sense! It's been a rough traveler for some time, it seems.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXHIV9uxH5HsdO-jtz1sUPUL3GHMlbF87hHAaOEmtBwfUGm0_lgnvVV3BeKonK8BRLY4n_p2DHqRSGvL24HeHi55FwU46lb9XHfy4piW_rBxUtlRlp7u6nGo5s4D9XxE4bs9EJw3W9WF3eUtXRN3gh32lkhubqkPjpjazMxCo09HaQZayGaxbGajEPsbI/s3782/strad-gali-02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It was here for a minor seam repair but it was otherwise playing spot-on and in good order.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkHBLu5VvpFdrqBf0X15EN0VuG76asWmd84JYDLKdmDneZf9xNfIRl8xGd_Pzzjv9rAj0sRSdkJvmgTCiwuWZ-CdNJkh9OiC_qbqXqIR1oK-hJL3-eDedUyGbx1ERQxXSJ506_oadg5H0ftvWVsWTkQ61U52azCZ6NFRKKCbieOW1oNnqNF3Q8PYHWKeY/s3890/lute-8-course-02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

He told me that the poor old bird was falling-apart and, as he happened to be out near Gryphon, he had Frank Ford and Richard Johnston convert the instrument from its round-hole F-4 beginnings into the F-5 you see now (new top, new neck). The job was <i>excellent </i>and, of course, he's played it like a madman because of that.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Suffice to say, instruments get tired the older they get. This one had a collapsed top near the endblock and a ski-jumping fretboard extension to deal with as well as the other usual setup-side stuff to address. The neck angle was still OK so I reset the extension so as to be in line with the rest of the fretboard. I then hemmed and hawed about how to deal with the failing top at the endblock and decided to run a 1/2" dowel from the neckblock to the endblock (pinned under the tailpiece) inside to keep the lengthwise compression from continuing to pull the endblock into the top. It's hidden, fortunately, and makes all the difference.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After that, it got some tidying-up, a fret level/dress, and a good setup and... it's off to the races! I simply did not want to put it down after getting the first few notes out of it. I can understand completely why he wanted this one back in rotation!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Things to love: a beautifully-cut neck, scooped-out extension, celluloid-rotting pickguard holding on by a thread, natural wear and tear to the instrument <i>everywhere</i>, and ridiculous flame in the neck. Oh, and it sounds great, too, of course.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6QKUwVfeo0dxt4m7mWweKtIzGXIKfBB2xndmgMy0bCDbU-Q65_nhCcv1TysLq4xxoHtr2ViX7_uroEuciBED63IgKkNNY6BqGTMIfuWYWfNAnXqIB1jEco83onc7tGvBpTL_HYnU-z3Nq8il2U67QMkUL4thMzCaiRdU4aoTg8OhXUGQc2w8fWvuDuTY/s3907/gibson-f4-f5-02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I've seen a lot of them through the shop, anyhow, and in all sorts of branding. This one definitely has "the look" of a gig-worthy strummer as it's been played-in a lot and has a friendly feel to it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ancel and I tag-teamed this -- I reset the neck and he did the fret level/dress and setup side of the work. It's now playing spot-on and is ready to serve.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I think these guitars are perfectly suited to players who want something sturdy, functional, and practical for day-to-day, rough-and-tumble use but also want to have some bling at the same time. The pickguards on these (with their iridescent flowers) are very cool and these instruments definitely project that countrified, J-200 air... at least from a dozen feet away!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's funny but there's a modern Chinese knockoff J-200 in the shop, a '90s Gibson SJ-200 in the shop, and this guy all at the same time and each guitar is definitely its "own thing" despite having a similar overall body shape and measurements and bracing. These Alvarez models have some of the same vibe but I'd say the honest truth is that this model is more like a blend of a Yamaha FG-180 sort-of sound mixed with the more even, mids-heavy response of a '70s J-200 (vs. the tubbiness of some of the '60s ones). They're good "thumper-strummer" instruments.</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>a neck reset, fret level/dress, new compensated saddle, and setup.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">4 lbs 10 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">25 5/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 11/16"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">slim-medium C oval</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">10"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">17"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">4 5/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Top wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ply spruce</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Back & sides wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ply flamed maple</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bracing type: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">x</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">rosewood</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">rosewood</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3-piece maple</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3/32” bass 1/16” treble (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">54w-12 lights</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Truss rod: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">medium-lower</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Condition notes: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">it has a bunch of pickwear at the soundhole and general usewear throughout the finish -- small nicks, dings, and scratches. The finish has aged to a buttery-yellow color that's pretty nice, too. The plastic parts have aged, a strap button was added at the heel, and the nut may be a replacement from yesteryear, too, though I'm not sure. The tuners work fine but they're not the best quality. The original adjustable saddle was damaged and so my guy Ancel made a new, compensated rosewood one that fits in the (wide) adjustable saddle slot.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto;

He built this a little bit ago but it hasn't been for sale and so it's essentially a "new-old-stock" instrument.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This one features a chambered beech body with a flamed maple "cap." It's a super-curvy instrument with all sorts of contouring and it feels really cozy in the lap. I think it has a bit of a Mosrite feel to its body, in a way, even though it's a thoroughly-modern instrument.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has a Fender-style bolt-on neck, balances well in the lap and on a strap, and definitely has its own distinct <i>presence</i>. The two active EMG 35 TWX pickups are coil-split-enabled via a push/pull pot (though I forgot to show it off in the demo) so you can get "meaty" rich sounds as well as some vintage-like, J-Bass sounds right in the same rig.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So -- overall -- a fast-playing, comfy, stand-out, eye-catching instrument with solid features and and an interesting selection of woods and hardware.</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>a quick setup and adjustments.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 8 lbs 9 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">34"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 5/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> slim medium C oval</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 12"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">12 7/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 1/2"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">beech</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Schaller (gold)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">rosewood</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">maple</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Pickups: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2x EMG 35 TWX active</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 3/32 bass and 1/16" treble (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">100w-45w or close to it</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Truss rod: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">jumbo</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Condition notes:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> it's basically "new-old-stock" and very clean.

It's basically a "new-old-stock" instrument with only the tiniest bit of wear as he built it in recent memory but it hasn't been out in the world for sale.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This one is chambered inside for weight relief, has all sorts of excellent contours which make it feel good in the lap, and it balances nicely on a strap. It features a fairly traditional Fender-feel neck style but the rest of it is heavily modern -- it has two active EMG 35 TWX pickups, a fancy Schaller bridge, and push/pull pot to split the humbucking mode of the pickups to single-coil mode (though I forgot to show that in the demo video).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The back is mahogany and chambered while the top is figured maple. The pickup surrounds and details are figured birch. The neck is maple, the fretboard is rosewood, and it has a figured birch headstock veneer as well.</p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Repairs included: </b>a fret level/dress and setup.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Weight:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 8 lbs 7 oz</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Scale length: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">34"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Nut width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 5/8"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck shape:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> medium C oval</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Board radius:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 10"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body width: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">13 1/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body depth: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 3/4"</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Body wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">mahogany/maple cap</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Bridge: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Schaller adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fretboard: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">rosewood</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck wood: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">maple</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Pickups: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2x EMG 35 TWX</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Action height at 12th fret:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 3/32" bass and 1/16" treble (fast, spot-on)</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">String gauges: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">feels like 100w-45w or similar</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Truss rod: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">adjustable</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Neck relief: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">straight</span></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fret style: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">jumbo</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: inherit; font-style: normal;">Condition notes:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> it's essentially <i>new </i>but has perhaps a little tiny wear in the body here and there from light handling. I'm talking light/can't-see-them sort-of scratches. The finish is between satin and gloss so nothing is obvious at all save a little nick to one of the decorative wedges at the side of the bridge. When this came in the fretboard extension was ramping-up just a bit (causing fret buzz) so we leveled/dressed the frets in that area down a bit to compensate for it. Pretty-much half of the Fender-style bass necks coming through need this work done (it's a design issue with bolt-on necks) so it's a bog-standard thing we do around here. I mention only for completeness' sake.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal;

I'm not sure where it was made but I expect, because it's 1930s and not clearly <i>marked </i>as German-import, that it's likely a US-made instrument -- perhaps it's a Harmony or Jackson Guldan instrument. It just has that feel -- but the weight and build is lighter than I expect for a Jackson.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">All that aside, it's a nice player and has a strong, old-timey, double-stop-friendly, husky sort-of tone.
