New! Froggy Bottom K Deluxe : An exceptionally beautiful instrument from Mr. Millard and his associates in Vermont. For those unfamiliar with Froggy Bottoms model designations, a K model is what the rest of us recognize as the small jumbo. Not so large that the sound seems to never come out of the box, as with some other makers small jumbos, yet having that deep body where the sound wells up inside and springs forth is ear pleasing tones. The body is 4 1/4" deep at the bottom bout, and that's where the  richness of tone come from. The top is master grade Adirondack, while the back and sides show more figure than you would expect in a guitar made in Vermont of Koa wood. The Koa is spectacular in every way. It is mind boggling to try and figure out how somebody in Vermont can obtain Koa that those closer to the state of Hawaii can only dream about. The entire body is bound in Vermont flame Maple which is a beautiful offset to the Koa. The Ebony fingerboard is inlaid with abalone shell diamonds. The peghead is bound and surrounded by gold plated Waverly tuning machines. Of course, being a Froggy Bottom, the sound is definitely equal to the esthetic beauty. With hard case.

2008 Froggy Bottom M RW Deluxe: The style M is a grand concert model with a 15" lower bout. This particular example is a perfect mating of an Adirondack Spruce top to amazingly figured Coco-bolo back & sides. The tone can be characterized by extreme balance,  excellent clarity, that bright, cheerful tone many players refer to as "sparkle". This beauty responds with a full voice even when played with great delicacy. For players who want a full, balanced tone without lugging around something the size of a large doghouse, may we suggest the style M. Its tight waist and rounded lower bout makes this guitar physically more comfortable to play, as well as a joy to hear. K&K Pure Western pickup too! With hard case. $5850 Stock#UGB28821

Used Froggy Bottom P-12: OK, first person to say "cute" goes to the back of the line. But it is apparently a very attractive little guitar. We know this because every person who sees it, even from across the room makes a bee line for this diminutive monster. We say monster, because the Adirondack Spruce top and Rosewood back & sides combination, as crafted by the extremely talented Mr. Mallard of Froggy Bottom, produces easily 3 times the amount of tone, power and volume one might expect from such an instrument. Easily carried, easily played, most wonderfully enjoyed. With hard case. $4250 Stock#UGB29499. photo BUY NOW
