New Arrivals.

I've gotten a load of consignment guitars from a collector. All are fantastic guitars befitting players of any level.

Wingert Model E :

This one is exactly the same specifications as our first instrument from Kathy. It is a model E with German and Brazilian rosewood topped off with a cutaway. The model E is a very comfortable guitar to play- perfect for sore shoulders and although it can speak gently, does move when pushed.

This guitar is a superb all rounder, with that signature Wingert tone; clear piano-like bass with distinct mids and highs. Currently available with a Calton case and priced fairly.

Wingert Parlor :

This is a highly customised small bodied guitar made from Adirondack and Brazilian rosewood with a Tung oil finish which gives it an organic feel. The small bodied instruments I have played from Kathy are loud and very articulate without the boxiness you get with many small bodies.

The Adirondack is evenly coloured and the geometric rosette is a nice touch. Engraved, gold Waverlies adorn the slotted headstock. Currently available with OHSC and priced fairly.

Graf Model C :

Oscar Graf crafts wonderful guitars in his Canadian workshop. I have played several of Oscar's Brazilian rosewood models and but this guitar is the 1999 prototype for the Model C and features Koa back and sides with a German spruce top. I am not a fan of Koa, but Oscar's done something different hear.

The tone is super balanced with sweetness but none of the pretentious sparkle that Koa has and the mids are nicely roudned. A B-band USt provides amplification for the sweet, balanced tone this guitar produces. Available.


Somogyi/Martin D28 :

Here's an unusual guitar- it started out as a 1958 D28 made by Martin but on the way to the current owner had been sent to Ervin Somogyi who performed some 'tonework' on it. Amongst other things, he rebraced the guitar, replaced the bridge and now it plays like a Somogyi with a bit more headroom than his usual instruments. If you are looking for a Somogyi but afford the 5 figure pricing, this is a very good alternative. Available
