This Sullivan is a bit of a rarity- Mr. Sullivan only made several of them as favors for close friends. Features birdseye maple throughout, full electronics. I've had this one for some time now and it's the best electric mandolin I have played. Only problem is that I don't play mandolin that much these days- this is a fantastic instrument for any mando fan. US$4,000

A new Greven! John's really outdone himself with this one. A vintage 14 fret OOO offering in lutz and mahogany, the entire guitar is trimmed in tortis and a cutaway helps with access. You may have noticed the acclaim John has been receiving for these guitars- it's all true. This one has a sound that you wouldn't believe. When a mahogany guitar has this much bass, you have the best of both worlds: a clean, sweet bottom end, and beautiful fat trebles. There is no reason to own an original anymore! This guitar may be the one for you.

An affordable guitar! I've had a number of requests for a good guitar which won't break the bank. After some looking around, I found this deep bodied 12 fret OOO from new luthier Tim Whithers. Tim is currently building part-time and produces guitar which are designed to sound best to the audience. Built from adirondack and brazilian rosewood, this guitar has a dreadnought depth and an arched top and back which produces a focused, projective tone. Trimed with purfling and a bound fingerboard, it has all you need to go out and impress the crowd. A nice lighthouse inlay by Craig Lavin adorns the headstock. There are a number of cosmetic issues, mostly purfling misses/bleed. There is some water marking on the sides which is probably the most obvious cosmetic issue. A small finish crack has been repaired by the purfling.
A good tone, great appointments for US$3,000 ( 1,500 sterling approx).

This one's been over a year in the works, from working out the specs to the execution. It's a real throughbred guitar- very responsive but with good headroom. 12 fret OOO have been considered the ideal platform for fingerstylists, but we chose to go with an The mastergrade European Red Spruce top flexs over Brazilian rosewood to produce a very classic pre-war timbre. The entire guitar is French Polished and the style 45 purfling adds class. If you are looking for a lifetime guitar, let me recommend this one.
