1998 Wayne Henderson D-18 Sunburst, Very Good, Original Hard, $19,999.00

In 1995, Wayne Henderson was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts in recognition of his extraordinary instrument-making. Henderson has built guitars for Tommy Emmanuel, Doc Watson, Peter Rowan, Gillian Welch, and Eric Clapton. He makes only about 20 instruments a year (not all are guitars) and getting a guitar from him is nigh unto impossible—just ask Clapton, who waited ten years for his.

You don’t have to wait ten years for your Wayne Henderson. We have a 1998 D-18 Henderson guitar for sale here at our Portland shop. We acquired this guitar from its original owner who is reluctantly parting with it due to an upcoming move to a tropical climate in which acoustic guitars often don’t fare so well.

This Henderson dreadnaught is in very good condition with only a few minor nicks and some finish wear to show for its 20 year life. It’s been played but well taken care of. Adirondack spruce top with mahogany back and sides. Sporting a dark elegant sunburst finish with abalone trim around the entire top as well as in the rosette, this is a great example of Henderson’s work.
