Intermountain Guitar and Banjo

This is probably one of the last flatiron mandolins Gibson made.  Unlike the earlier Festival Fs, this one has an elevated fingerboard and is quite high grade, made in nashville, perhaps a special order, really a neat mandolin and great sounding, really has that punch.  Quite good shape, the odd ding, original hard case.  this one will not dissapoint.

Here we have a Larson mandolin bearing the Stahl lable.  This is a particularly nice example,  There is one repaired tight back crack and one scratch on the top.  As well as being lovely, it plays and sounds extremely well, comes with the original end loading case.

Here we have an early, we are thinking late 30s, martin 3m in excellent condition, has the desirable fancy fingerboard stuff.   There is one exceedingly tight hairline on the back, hard to photograph. It comes in a very cool original arched semi-hard case

although this is unlabeled we believe this to be Larson made.   It is in super cosmetic and playing condition and has a wonderful big voice, really a fine mandolin in a nice hard case.

Here we have a stunning Knutsen creation in the style of a weissenborn kona style 3, although it is a bit larger.  It is in excellent shape and sounds great, extremely clean with only one tight hairline crack on the back.  non original hard case.

Here we have a gibson made epiphone zenith in near mint condition.  Plays very well, just an issueless guitar.
