In 1949, Earl Scruggs sent his '30's flathead Mastertone banjo back to Gibson for worn frets and fingerboard and Gibson sent it back to Earl with a new fingerboard and the fancy pearl inlays of the day, often called "bowties". One of the several Earl Scruggs models that Gibson issued in the '90's was the Earl Scruggs '49 Classic, commemorating the modified Mastertone which Earl is often pictured...

A fine Brazilian Rosewood Martin 00-28G nylon-string Classical guitar.

Well played and understandably why: It has an ad top, recent neck set. The oversize pickguard and the big cleat on the inside are most likely martin work from the 60's or so, we have seen this many times in the past there is a small added piece of wood on the bridgeplate where the balls of the strings wear the plate, as well there is a little hairline near the healcap of the neck, there are no...

This is one of the finest '0' size guitars we've had, an ornate little jewel,  with a huge sound.  Non laminated 'X' braced, recently given a neck set and set up to by the great Larsonest Tony Klassen.  Plays like a dream and and sounds amazing. one tight hairline in the back, reglued center seam in the top.  Not sure about the originality of the bridge, it is very correct.  Some play wear on...

I believe this little jewel was considered the 'standard model' at the time. Non laminated X braced 24 5/8" scale, full 1 3/4 nut.  It appears to have had a neck set and plays well.  It sustained a little crunch on the lower treble bout on the top, close examination reveals that when examining the pearl and the purfling, there are also a couple hairline tight cracks on back, a couple on the sides...
