Intermountain Guitar and Banjo

Schireson’s Hollywood ukuleles were built by Robert E. Pearson, an English luthier who was once a well-known banjo-uke builder and also had worked for Martin Guitar prior to moving out to California to build for the Schireson Bros. I am not A ukulele player, but this one seems quite good. There are a couple of small cracks in the back that have been addressed.

After being in the vintage guitar business for 40 something years, I’ve seen my share of Mossmans, but never ran into anything like this. Abalone bound body and peg head, stunning Brazilian rosewood.

This incredible Adirondack top 00 is in just amazing condition, even the original case is in perfect shape. It does have the odd scratch or ding, but basically shows no play wear, the frets look as new. It recently received the prerequisite neck reset and is good to go for another 71 years I would think. No issues whatsoever. Feel free to reach out if you would like an in hand description.

This is the second time I’ve owned this guitar,, having taken it back in trade about five years ago. It has received the prerequisite neck reset. It’s obviously been played a great deal, but there are no cracks issues, or anything unoriginal to the guitar. Extremely rare to find an original arched hard case that comes with one of these. Not a great deal to add to this description, please reach...

This is certainly one of the nicest D35s we have ever encountered. Legend has it that when Martin switched over from Brazilian to East Indian, that the first batch over the first year or so came from some old growth East Indian that to the discerning eye certainly seems considerably different than The ensuing years production. This particular guitar was made in the very beginning of 1971 and...

This is of the cleanest almost unplayed examples of one of these. But there are several issues that are not obvious to the eye that need to be revealed. It plays extremely well, as it has had a neck reset. The bridge has been replaced with a a correct size replacement. Two of the braces towards the bottom of the guitar on the back have been replaced. There is a crack on either side suffered in...

Possibly an Original Open-Back Plectrum Banjo from Weymann. 11" Head; 27" Scale. 22 Frets. The neck has something of a Beefy profile: 1 1/4" wide fingerboard at the nut, 1 15/16" where end of fingerboard meets the tension-hoop... the neck is correspondingly generous in shape. Will probably require planetary geared pegs to be brought to its highest potential. Choice of...

Superb original condition, the veritable ‘closet queen’. Huge sound, hard to imagine a nicer example, virtually unplayed.

This Roy Smeck Is probably in the unbelievably nice condition that It’s in because the bridge was gone and the bridge plate overly thin and falling off, so apparently the guitar saw very little use. The bridge has been replaced with old Brazilian that came from the Gibson factory,period correct as is the replaced bridge plate.It has been converted from Hawaiian to standard set up. Two tone bars,...
