Guitars from Select Builders

We frequently have interesting instruments built by individual makers. Here's a current offering.

Fraulini Guitars

Fraulini Copy of Stahl Style 6 Guitar

This guitar is modeled after the auditorium size guitars of the Larson Bros., and was built specifically at our request by Fraulini Guitars, known for their replicas of great guitars from the 1920s and '30s. This instrument was patterned after a 1929 William Stahl Style 6 and a similar but plainer Stahl from 1933. It features a 15" lower bout, Indian rosewood back and sides, Adirondack spruce top, mahogany 12 fret neck with thick ebony fretboard and slotted peghead, wood marquetry around top and soundhole and down center of back, and hand applied french polish finish. Here are more photos:

Gonstead Guitars

Gonstead All Mahogany Guitar

Sven Gonstead has built a simple but lovely all mahogany guitar with ebony fingerboard and bridge and lacquer finish. The lower bout measures 14-3/8" and width at the nut is 1-3/4." We've had a few of Sven's resonator guitars here, but this is the first of his flattop guitars we've been able to feature here. Here are more detailed photos.

This guitar is no longer available. We hope to get another guitar from Sven sometime soon (he may be sending us a resophonic guitar or two). Please check back.
