2005 Gibson Advanced Jumbo: (exc) Certainly the most heralded of all the Montana Acoustic Gibsons are the Advanced Jumbo reissues. Based on the '30s Gibson slope shouldeder dreadnought, they even surpass the originalsin terms of playability, and surely compete in the tone and power arenas. A beautiful Gibson tobacco sunburst over Sitka Spruce top, and dark Rosewood back & sides make this Gibson a visual delight as well. With hard case. $2150 Stock#UGB28941 photo
1929 Gibson Nick Lucas: (EXC-) One of the greatest guitar designs of the "golden age" The small, yet deep bodied model, perhaps the first 'signature' model ever made by a guitar manufacturer, was first unveiled in 1928. They were first available with Mahogany back & sides, and then Rosewood, followed by maple. There were 2 distinct styles of bridge. One,as seen here, rather plain with an almost square shape, and the other, more commonly seen, with the extra bridge pin. Also making its play for rarity, are the Grover side gear banjo style tuners instead of the metal buttoned open back style more commonly found. The tone is not common on this version either, it is uncommonly superb. Rich bass that belies its small appearance, excellent balance and lots of rich, warm overtones. A great guitar that you can play anywhere or just carry while Tip-Toeing Through the Tulips. With original hard case. BuffaloBros. price: $12,500 Stock# UGC26004. PHOTO
1946 Gibson LG-2: (VG) The LG-2 has recently been re-discovered by collectors and players alike. The sunburst X-braced Spruce top and Mahogany back & sides, produce the true Gibson tune that fingerpickers, flatpickers and slide guitarists can't resist. We've downgraded the condition due mostly to cosmetic issues and some repaired body cracks. The guitar plays easily and the volume is excellent. With hard case $2950. Stock#UGB26580 photo
2003 Gibson LC-1 Cascade Antique Natural: (EXC) The LC-1 Cascade features Gibson's Advanced-00 body and bracing in a compact cutaway. Also, a solid Sitka Spruce top, quilted solid Maple back & sides, Rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot markers, and a 3-piece flamed Maple neck. Abalone inlaid rosette, multi-layer body binding, gold open-geared Gotoh tuners, and a mother of pearl crown peghead inlay. In addition to the eye-catching looks and quality materials you'll get that crisp, clear Gibson tone with a great setup and comfortable action. The advanced onboard electronics reproduce the natural tone and the full dynamic range of this gorgeous concert acoustic. They don't make these exactly like this anymore, so get it while you can! With hard case. BuffaloBros. price: $2500. Stock# UGC22071* photo
1922 Gibson L-4 Sunburst: (G) It's always a difficult choice as to where to list these Pre-Loar era Gibson archtops. Yes, they do have an arch in the top, but the oval soundhole and very slight arch rely more on flattop design than the instruments which followed the tenure of Mr. Loar as Gibson's in house genius. The year is in question too. The paper label inside, with its un-readable pencilled in number, is quite likely a 1922 when dated by its appointments. But then again, as has been said many times, "The only thing consistent about Gibson is its inconsistency." This is none the less, a great blues machine and has that wonderful strident tone that harkens back to the pre-depression juke joints and rent parties. With hard shell case. $1850 Stock #UGB23570.

1934 Martelle Deluxe V: (exc-) Aha! You say to yourself, the Bros. have made an error listing a guitar without the Gibson name on the Gibson page. Oh no! We say unto you. This fantastic sounding version of the famous Gibson Roy Smeck model was in fact made by Gibson for a Mid-West distributor in 1934. Comparing it side by side with the RS signature model, the only difference seems to be the absence of the Gibson name and the addition of the Martelle name and the word Deluxe stenciled on the peghead. After 1934, the Martelle brand continued to be produced by Regal of Chicago. But this one here, friends and neighbors, is Gibson all the way! You can hear the difference! With hard case.

just in!! 1936 Recording King Carson J. Robison model K: (exc) Carson J. Robison was one of the first "cowboy singers" to appear regularly on the radio. Gibson made many of these "00" sized guitars. Sometimes with Mr. Robison's name standing alone on the peghead, and sometimes with their alter ego brand Recording King. Based on Gibson's L-00 body with a Spruce top and Mahogany back & sides in a dark sunburst finish. Retaining much of the traditional feel and sound, this instrument is not only unique and highly collectable, but is a great guitar in every respect. With chipboard case. $1450. Stock#UGB28899 photo
