Leo Travel
$400
Leo built these fantastic little mandolins for years in the '80s, many sold through Elderly Instruments. It has the standard 13 1/4" scale and has a surprisingly loud voice. The overall length is 21" and the widest point of the body is 4 1/2". The unique feature of this particular Leo is the top which, if I remember correctly, is bookmatched from a piece of repurposed flame Rosewood. I think this...

1951 Fender Custom Shop No Caster
$5,000
I'm selling this for a friend whose daughter abandoned this beautiful guitar and opted (graduated) for Collings acoustics. From the owner: The finish wear on the body is honest and not 'Relic', built in August 1997. The neck is a small "C" with a 7.25 radius. The pickups are 'Twisted Tele', the body is ash, and the guitar weighs 7.2 pounds.
From me: the body color is not faded except for the...

~1940 Martin Concert
$999
I believe this uke was built before the WWll because of the tortoise-shell binding and the Champion Sta-Tite tuners. It sounds great, as a vintage Martin should, sweet and loud. There are a few tight 'cracks' that don't move under thumb pressure and I can't see light through them. There are NO repairs. The bridge has never been reset and is in great shape, as you can see in the pictures. The...

Ludwig Wendell Hall
$2,000
If you made it this far to the description, you will know about this banjuke and its fame. Now, this particular one is as nice as you will ever find. EVERYTHING is right: head, hardware, tuners, finish, action, case (in and out), peghead decal. The resonator is the best that I've seen in any Wendell Hall. I have changed nothing since I owned it, I haven't cleaned it, and haven't even played it....
