Welcome!

APRIL 21: check out our two fantastic Beatles era guitars available now - a 1954 J160E and a 1965 Casino! Both are fab and cool!!!

The 31st Dallas Guitar Show is now history. This was our 31st year to have a booth at the Dallas Show, and we've been to every one since the beginning!

We had some great vintage and new guitars and amps for sale, plus some musical surprises including Clint Strong performing throughout the weekend and demonstrating the new Benedetto Professional Series guitars. A number of area jazz musicians dropped in to play the new Bendetto guitars including Sam Walker, Fred Hamilton, and Nick De Gennaro. Howard Paul, President/CEO of Benedetto Guitars was also with us for the weekend, and he brought some very special Benedetto guitars for sale that are not listed here. Howard also played music throughout the weekend with Clint and other guitarists, and really added a lot to our success.

Sold our Benedetto Bambino (red) to Dean Fearing, who promises to add some jazzy tone colors to the Barb Wires. Go Dean!!!

Also sold our Bambino sunburst to Mike Brandenberger of Big Daddy and the Swelltones, our Benny sunburst to Sam Walker, and our Bambino Deluxe to Mike Minnis. Way to go, guys!

We have access to the whole line of Benedetto products, and our in-hand offerings will feature the Benny, Bambino and Bravo guitars! MORE NEW BENEDETTOS ARE ON THE WAY, so check back with us.

We are now a Henrikson JazzAmp dealer! We have just received one each of the JazzAmp 10-R combos and the JazzAmp convertibles - see our site for more details!

  • 2008 Sadowsky Jim Hall Signature archtop violin sunburst, Brand New, Original Hard, $3,895.00

    Guitar SOLD! The Sadowsky Jim Hall Signature guitar # A 387 is one of the most exciting and satisfying new jazz guitar to be introduced in many years. It was designed and developed in an interactive collaboration between the artist Jim Hall and the maker Roger Sadowsky, and their shared vision and input has resulted in a superb instrument that is versatile, toneful, expressive, responsive, and beautiful. The design of the guitar begins with Jim Hall's D'Aquisto laminate-body acoustic electric but evolves further, making use of subtle refinements that make it extremely playable and responsive to variations in pick attack, volume, and playing styles. Build quality is tops, and Roger has personally set up this guitar before sending it to me. In my opinion, there is no better buy on the market today than the Sadowsky Jim Hall guitar for the musician who wants a top quality, versatile, and responsive acoustic/electric archtop. Nice TKL hard case and new warranty, too! We are an official dealer for these! This is the last Signature model available! SOLD!
