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!

Kauer Argonaut

The Argonaut, the doppelganger of the Daylighter Hollowbody, is the pinnacle of Kauer's Daylighter Hollowbody development. Unlike the traditional Daylighter Hollowbody, the Argonaut features a fully carved (internally and externally) Ambrosia Maple back attached to a hollow Spanish Cedar core. Completely hollow save for a block directly under the bridge and tailpiece to join the front and back together, the Argonaut features 60% more interior volume than a Daylighter Hollow while only growing 3/4" in the center and 1/4" deeper at the tip...

Huge open tone, very woody and hollow, reminiscent of some of Hoboken's finest. This Daylighter's interior is almost completely hollow, save for a block joining the back to the top, directly under the bridge...

Ribbecke Electric Halfling - $4995

Designed with electric blues, rock and jazz players in mind, this evolutionary guitar has, at its heart, a rather sophisticated interior build that is a marriage of archtop and semi-hollow build techniques applied to a body shape that most definitely has some DNA from the mighty Les Paul, the 335, the Testadura and the ES175...

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). . .
