Epiphone Triumph Regent Jazz Guitar Carved spruce top and carved maple back, all-original guitar except possibly the bound tortoise shell pickguard was replaced decades ago - looks right, but I believe it's a replacement. Very loud, lively exxample - these can be hit or miss for sound and this one is exceptional. Crack-free with no repairs other than some loose binding fixed in a few (minor) places, the Frequensator tailpiece is intact with no cracks in the hinge, etc., top has no "sag" and the neck is streat, action great. These are still bargains, for an old U.S.A.-made cutaway carved-top guitar. A very cool guitar, with original brown hardshell case. Just in...

Epiphone Masterbilt Deluxe Jazz Guitar An outstanding example of what many say (including Phil) is the best carved-top jazz guitar ever made, period. Has all the cool important appointments - offset headstoch shape, “shell” shaped engraved fretboard inlays, Frequensator tailpiece. It’s been carefully restored by luthier Dave Doucet (he was Matt Umanov’s repair guy in NYC for 16 years). All binding carefully replaced except headstock binding (original), the original finish has been “French polished” to clean up chips, lacquer checking, etc. - not refinished. Looks bone stock and very cool - Dave carefully hand-made a multi-bound tortoise shell exact reproduction pickguard and bracket - look exactly like original. A crack-free example that “has that sound”, very easy to play - an amazing guitar, will go way up in value, sell with originnal hardshell case for...

Kalamazoo Archtop Carved-top F-hole guitar, made by Gibson, very rare version with blonde finish, ambered beautifully with age. Fancier than most with a bound tortoise shell pickguard. Stock and original, just had the neck professionally reset (undetectable), and is in perfect playing condition. The neck is straight as an arrow (rare), has that classic old pre-war sound. A very rare blonde pre-war Gibson-made guitar, for much less money - still a deal. We've seen these priced at $1,800, sell ours with case for....

"Radio Deluxe" Pre-war 16" wide archtop jazz guitar, I have never heard of this brand, and never seen one of these before - and I've been playing/restoring/buying and selling archtops for 40 years - a realy mystery guitar. It is total pro-quality, kind of an early D'Angelico 16" archtop kind of quality - much better than early Gretsch - as good as early Epiphones. The only info I got with this was that the engraved pearl inlays were done by the person that did Gibson's engraved inlays... Nice condition - all-originaly, has a very sool sassy sound - perforct for early jazz. Was in a private collection for decades, now available. Just in....
