Acoustic Guitars

Updated 22 April 2006

Solid
spruce top, quasi-rosewood back and sides, fancy inlays and slotted peghead.

Taj Mahal's
National Guitar
Three square-neck
acoustics
1960s Teutonic
terrors.
If you're not scared yet, you should be: terror
from the heart of Bavaria. German's idea of a folk guitar, with a
bolt-on propeller wood neck, goofie string trees and in the heavy metal
bolt-on bridge. These guitars have laminated tops. I have also some
that have solid German spruce tops -- really good guitars.
Silvertone
L-7
with beautiful rubyburst and floating Lawrence pickup. A
typical Fatdog guitar from the 50s. $400
Silvertone
L-7 Neck
Harmony
Herd
Here's the largest herd of Sovereigns on Planet EARTH!
Variations from Regal, Silvertone, Harmony and Harmony Sovereign Deluxe.
For years we called these "the poor man's D-18". These are all
solid woods and straight-braced. The neck reset and pin bridge greatly
improve their sound; the Schaller tuning machines keep them in tune. A
great value for 60s folk guitars at $400 each.
Kay 200s
A fleet of Kay 200s from the 50s and
60s. Solid spruce tops, big figure-8 bodies, 26" scale-length, from
Sherwood, Silvertone, Orpheum and Kay. Straight-braced, and 17"
wide (although they did make some that were X-braced). Rich, thick
sound. Schaller or Gotoh gears. You can be Elvis in Y2Kay for
$400.
Proletarian Lineup
Proletarian
specials from Subway's 50s and 60s bargains. Kay D-size with neck reset
and pin bridge, $160. All solid wood Harmony Classic with
surprisingly good tone, $200. 0-size Harmony with neck reset and
pin bridge. A finger-picking delight, $150. 000 Kay, $150.
Quartet of 000s
Lead Junior Stella 12
$250; Silvertone and Stella 6-strings $175;
Stroboscopic-bound Oahu $250. All have had neck resets and pin
bridges. We have lots of these. These are the proletarian end of the Kay
and Harmony factories.
10-string solid spruce top Quartro-thang.
Don't
know what to do with it, but we've got a bunch of 'em. There's actually
some Portugese instrument like this. $175.
J-200
Beautifiul abalone inlay. Pearl rose
inlay at 12th fret, flame maple back and sides. Solid spruce top.
$300

Ordering Merchandise
I understand your concerns about buying a guitar over the Internet. You
can't put your hands on it. You don't know what it'll look like, what
it'll sound like, how it will feel. Then there are the issues
surrounding shipping anxiety: "Will it arrive undamaged?"
"When will it arrive?" "WILL it arrive?" The
concerns go on and on: "What's the tracking number?"
"Will you ship it today?" "When will you ship it?"
"Can I get it tomorrow?"
Here are five key
points to put your mind at ease:
- Your purchase
will definitely arrive in good, undamaged condition AND in a timely
manner.
- Your purchase is insured against damage in
transit.
- If you don't like what you've ordered, you can
return it within two weeks of purchase.
- You have the option
of a full CASH refund or a trade-in for something else you like. All you
pay is the return shipping, which amounts to about $10 within the
Continental United States.
- You just can't lose.
Policy

Ecstacy" for a week with your new guitar. If the instrument is not
what you expected, then expect a full refund on merchandise returned in
the condition of purchase. Fatdog considers this the backbone of good
