Gene Baker / Fine Tuned Instruments b3 "WOOD" MODEL

The "Wood" model, in our opinion, is one of Gene's greatest achievements. This guitar sounds bigger, deeper and richer than most any 335 style guitar or for that matter, any semi to full hollowbody rock/blues/jazz guitar out there. It's neck pickup truly dwarfs the finest 335 style guitars we've put against it and it's bridge pickup is dramatically fatter, rounder and warmer than that of any other in it's class. This is simply one of the finest sounding instruments available!

Giffin 12-String

This guitar was really a labour of love! Having been a 12-string freak since "Walk right in" by The Rooftop Singers in the early '60s and the wonderful sound of The Byrds - Roger Giffin knew that he had to make the ultimate electric 12 string. It had to have a neck that you could actually play on! It had to have a big, ringing, jangly sound - which meant a  hollow body.  A hollow body, though, usually meant unwanted feedback, so Giffin designed his uncoupled, isolated bridge mount, which effectively cut out almost all unwanted feedback while retaining the full hollow body sound. The neck is not too big, not too thin, the string spacing is accurate and comfortable...

Ribbecke HJG Thinline

"THIN IS IN!" The Thinline is an offshoot of the HJG-1 "Halfling Jazz Guitar" which is the result of over 25 years of Tom Ribbecke's unique understanding of carved top design. True crossover instruments, they combine the sensitivity of steel string guitars, with their flatter soundboard on the bass side, and the articulate sound of true jazz guitars.

Soloway Hollow Body

Soloway's new hollow body is not really a model as much as a new construction method. The only limitations from this design are the need for a top mounted pickup ring for bridge and middle position pickups and the inability to accommodate a trem bridge. Otherwise, it can be used with most of Soloway's configurations. . . 

Thorell FV Premier

Originally commissioned by Frank Vignola, the FV Premier model is the perfect instrument for guitarists seeking versitile and clear acoustic tone not offered elsewhere in the market. Equally at home in a New York jazz club or on stage with David Grisman, this guitar offers an exclusive convergence of gypsy, archtop, and flattop sounds. The Spuce soundboard is hand-carved from a thinner plate than is typical for an archtop guitar, allowing for a lower break angle tension at the bridge and a unique hybrid bracing style (also used on the Thorell Gianina models). . .
