Bruce Guitars 0-17 Special | From the workshop of Micah Bruce in Omaha, Nebraska comes another incredible Bruce steel-string guitar. We’ve been big fans of Micah’s work over years and we’re really excited about having his guitars in the shop. This 0-17 features the classic all-mahogany top, back and sides - only here with an aged Vintage White finish that absolutely stands out. Constructed with traditional hide-glue, there’s a direct, warm and focused punch to this small-body guitar. The aged floral rosette is such a lovely, custom touch that was inspired by Micah’s wife’s own floral business, and makes this such a unique, modern build.

Check out Mass Street’s Matt Kappenman walking through the features of this custom guitar, along with a bit of a sound sample as well. More details, photos and pricing are available over on our website. Link in the bio or comments

Same Taylor build quality, consistency and playability with a newly refined sound. This Next Generation 312ce delivers a re-voiced tone with an emphasis on more of a warm, vintage tone that as a shop we really connect with. If you haven't tried out the new "Next Gen" series from Taylor they definitely warrant a strum with fresh ears.

Dating back to 2003, this Bill Davis mandolin is a wonderful, Kansas-built instrument. While this one has already sold over the weekend, before we were able to post it on social media, it was too wonderful not to celebrate and share. Featuring a beautiful flamed maple back and sides as well as an elegantly carved spruce top this mandolin delivers a rich amount of volume with a hearty chop, and plenty of warmth and body to boot.

This Fairbanks F-20 delivers a classic, vintage-spired 00 guitar, built by the small Fairbanks team in Burlington, VT. Founded by luthier Dale Fairbanks, Fairbanks Guitars continue to produce some of our favorite '30s and '40s inspired slope-shoulder builds, with a focused warmth and compressed sound making it the guitar of choice for everything from old-time rhythm to folk and singer-songwriter backup.

A part of the growing Salvage Series from Circle Strings and Fairbanks, this 00-build features a upgraded tonewoods with classic appointments. The name, Salvage Series, is derived from the use of reclaimed spruce tops, harvested from frigid, northern waters. Retrieved from logs originally used in salmon traps in the fjords of Tenakee Springs, Alaska and this reclaimed Sitka spruce is lightweight, delivering a dynamic, focused tone that elevates this build.

Head over to the website for more specs, details and pricing or swing by the shop to give this one a strum!
