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




Cutaway J-200

Shaded top, 4-band EQ, solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides. $375

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:
