Tonally, it goes both ways. A wonderful fingerstyle guitar (catch the video) but it doesn't stop there. This little beast has the classic old-timey mahogany OO sound with a modern crispness that allows it to be a mighty feisty little flatpicker too.

Bourgeois	Brazilian DB Signature D	From what we've been told by those who really *do* know, the Brazilian rosewood shortage has reached the critical stage and the upcharge for the remaining Brazilian and new Brazilian guitars will be sky high very soon. (Witness the fine new SC model 1934D at $17,995) so we of the "get it while you still can" club have hit up all our favorite builders for some Brazilian orders. The first to arrive will be from the ever-competent wood shop of Dana Bourgeois. (NEW) The always tasteful DB Signature D in figured Brazilian rosewood with premium Adirondack spruce top, figured koa body binding, 1 and 23/32" nut width, fossil ivory bridge pins, rosewood butt wedge and heel cap and HIDE GLUE construction throughout. As one last finishing touch, and to complement the koa binding, we asked Dana to add snakewood knobs to the nickel Waverlies. It is sure to be a great guitar to look at, and might be the right opportunity for someone you love to join the club - the Brazilian club that is. But all of that might just be membership recruitment propoganda. Buy it because it sounds GREAT. Play it and listen to it appreciate. List Price: $8,850	$7,965

A D2H with ADIRONDACK top, VARNISH finish, VINTAGE neck (1 and 3/4" nut width, 2 and 5/16" saddle) and bragging rights as being one of the loudest Collings guitars we have ever heard. While we hesitate to use the old "banjo killer" cliche, we will acknowledge that this guitar makes banjos nervous. If your situation requires a guitar capable of enormous volume, we present this very well crafted bazooka. List Price: $6,950	$6,255
Collings	D2H-G Varnish	Just arrived (NEW) After several years of experimenting with these, we have concluded that a D2H with German spruce top and Adirondack braces has to be among the best sounding and most versatile dreadnoughts that Collings builds. Add to that a varnish top coat and what do you have? Perhaps the best sounding dreadnought guitar in existence. But then, you already knew that. All one could want: 1 and 3/4" nut width, nickel Waverly tuners, 2 and 3/16" drop-in saddle, lovely tight-grain German spruce and a wild looking Brazilian rosewood peghead overlay.

Well, I think you know.... List Price: $6,375	$5,735
Collings	D1A Vintage Now	Just arrived (NEW) For those who appreciate a "slightly" fuller neck profile, the Collings "Vintage Now" neck just cannot be beat. 1 and 3/4" nut width, 2 and 4/16" saddle spacing, slightly thicker profile. We find this neck adds a certain fullness to the tone, it just does. And then there is this: This one has EXCEPTIONALLY FINE Adirondack spruce, for those who care about such things. Just look at those amber waves of grain! That's some good wood. But then I do not have to tell you that. List price $ 4,875	$4,387
Collings	D1 custom	Just Arrived (NEW) For store stock: People are always asking Moe what is the BEST BUY in a Collings dreadnought? Well here is Moe's standard answer: A lightly built mahogany D1 with 1 and 3/4" nut width, built without TONGUE BRACE and with ADIRONDACK braces. Face it, Adirondack spruce is a $1000 option and while it is "the Holy Grail of Tonewoods", it is not appropriate for a picker with a light touch. While all us macho types like to think we "need" Adirondack spruce, truth be told, most of us just do not. The Sitka topped custom D1 is warm and loud, with the added stiffness and headroom provided by Adirondack braces. This guitar can be set up low for a strummer with light gauge strings, or for a flatpicker with medium gauge strings. It can be the dreadnought you've always wanted - the one you actually play! This custom guitar also has the increasingly popular VINTAGE NOW neck and bridge. It is all the guitar most of us really need and it is ALL Collings for only $3,875 list and $3485 here at AMW. A LOT of guitar for the money. You could pay a lot more and get less.	SOLD

Collings	MT2 Quilted maple custom Sunburst Adirondack top	Just arrived!! (NEW) A custom heavily QUILTED MT2 with maple back and sides in dark SUNBURST finish with Adirondack top, tortoise bindings and nickel hardware. Upcharge for the quilted maple makes the list price: $4,000 SOLD	SOLD
Collings	MF5-V Custom Birdseye maple - Varnish	(NEW) We sell twenty or thirty Collings mandolins each year and we like to think we get a bit smarter with each mandolin. About once a year, we ask Alex at Collings to help us build something very special and attempt to snag the ultimate Collings mandolin - based on what we've learned (and thankfully, what Alex has learned as well.) The wood search always takes a long time, then the build takes a longer time. This year's project is *almost* finished and Alex sent me some recent production photos and said he expects the mandolin to be "spectacular". We trust him. Crazy-good birdseye maple, dark amber finish, wide nut, tortoise binding, reserve stock Engelmann spruce, nickel Waverly tuners, super-deluxe custom engraved tailpiece, varnish, deluxe model. One to be proud of. Thanks to Alex for the scintillating in process photos. Update: The mandolin has arrived, and it is indeed, spectacular. One of our best customers said the pics should come with a disclaimer: May cause blindness!	$12,850
Collings	D2-G	Just arrived (NEW) As good as the standard sitka-topped D2H is (and believe us, it *is*) we find that a German spruce top adds just the right amount of sustain, sparkle, complexity, and fullness to an already great guitar. If your style requires a guitar that has fat singing trebles, maximum sustain, extreme clarity and focus and the ability to handle high capo positions and open tunings, we think German spruce makes the difference. We've tweaked this one in the old "D-21" style (no herringbone, tortoise binding rather than ivoroid, Brazilian headstock overlay) and were careful to include ADIRONDACK spruce bracing for even more headroom. This guitar has the 1 and 3/4" nut width and just looks and sounds TREMENDOUS. List: $4,375	SOLD
Collings	D1A Sunburst	Just Arrived (NEW) Just in the nick of time, the model on which we hang our hats, the venerable Collings D1A. We've had over 100 D1As now, and the sound is consistently great. It is the sound we hear in our heads when we think "guitar". This one all dressed up with sunburst finish and a CW style pickguard, 1 and 3/4" nut width, and the Style 3 backstrip. How's that sound? List Price: $5,350	$4,815
Collings	OM1	Just Arrived (NEW) A lightly built mahogany OM1 with 1 and 3/4" nut width, built with ADIRONDACK braces and no fretboard inlay. It is all the guitar most of us really need and it is ALL Collings for only $3,750 list and $3,375 here at AMW. A LOT of guitar for the money. You could pay a lot more and get less.	$3,375
Collings	OM1 custom	Just arrived (NEW) Here's another Sitka topped Collings OM1 with just a little something extra: Light build, standard scale length, 1 and 3/4" nut width, NO tongue brace, style three backstrip, and Adirondack braces. Nothing too exotic: just lighter and slightly feistier than your typical Collings OM1. Does everything well, and has good manners. And really pretty to boot. $3,850	$3,465

An OM2H-A! List Price: $4,825	$4,342

She's warm, she's deep, she's purty. She's got a modern radiused top and compensated bone saddle and bolt on neck and should survive to serve your grandchildren's children quite nicely. List price: $10,350	$9,315
Huss & Dalton	TDR custom - Adirondack top	(NEW) The classic traditional dreadnought. No one builds a finer traditional dreadnought than Huss & Dalton. This big old rosewood powerhouse is positively magnificent with big "vintage" tone to match. Big open locomotive bass and strong trebles. A mighty fine bluegrass rhythm or strumming guitar. This one was ordered with drop-in saddle instead of the standard cut thru saddle and without any aging toner so the beautiful Red spruce (and it *is* beautiful) shines like the sun. Huge sound with great clarity. This could be the anchor of a hot bluegrass picking session for sure. If you are looking for a great bluegrass dreadnought and if you haven't tried one of these, your search is not yet complete. Bang, zoom! Ka-channnggg! This guitar really has what it takes. List: $4,250	$3,825
Huss & Dalton	TDR custom Honduran Rosewood Bearclaw Italian Spruce top	(NEW)The TDR is the classic traditional dreadnought. No one builds a finer traditional dreadnought than Huss & Dalton. Over the years we have been asked to spec the loudest dreadnoughts that will cut through a Bluegrass jam. We have found consistently that Honduran rosewood (even moreso than Brazilian) provides the ultimate in cut and volume. H&D have a particulalry good feel for the Honduran, and a particularly good supply. We generally top the Honduran guitars with Sitka, but have been persuaded by the good people at H&D to try the slightly stiffer Italian Red spruce for even more volume, increased sustain, and complexity of tone. This one was ordered with drop-in saddle instead of the standard cut thru saddle and without any aging toner so that the subtle bearclaw figure in the Italian spruce could show. Honest: If you are looking for the ultimate bluegrass dreadnought and you haven't tried one of these, your search is not yet complete. List: $5,250	$4,725
Huss & Dalton	TDM custom - Adirondack top	(NEW) Another classic traditional dreadnought. No one builds a finer traditional dreadnought than Huss & Dalton. To this big old mahogany powerhouse, we added a tortoise bound headstock for a nice finished look. Other than that, this guitar speaks for itself. Classic mahogany dread. List: $4,350	$3,915

Recent Arrivals - USED GUITARS
Bourgeois	D-150 "Plantation D"	Just arrived (USED) A remarkably clean 2003 "Plantation D" (D-150 custom) from Dana Bourgeois. The Plantation D series was a batch of guitars built to satisfy the player who wants a dependable high end Bluegrass flatpicking guitar with very traditional appointments and straight quartersawn Brazilian rosewood. This particular guitar has dead-straight Brazilian rosewood and very even grained Adirondack spruce. The guitar has a powerful Bluegrass tone and has a comfortable 1 and 3/4" nut width and 2 and 5/16" saddle spacing. The guitar also features an abalone rosette and gold Wavery tuners. Priced to sell quickly, and here on CONSIGNMENT	$4,950
Bourgeois	VVMD Very Vintage Mahogany D Hide Glue Custom VARNISH	Just arrived (USED) We've been having so much fun with these custom hide glue Country Boys.

At 4.0 pounds, it is everything we had hoped for. Dana's varnish guitars are now on a par with the other top varnish guitars.

Bourgeois	Custom OM Pao rosewood	Just arrived (USED) A custom Vintage OM with 60+ year old Pao rosewood back and sides, with premium Adirondack top, black/white top border, fancy cocobolo binding, 1 and 3/4" nut width, pyramid bridge. With the rapidly diminishing availability of Brazilian rosewood, all the builders are looking for appropriate substitutes for their premium guitars. About Pao rosewood, Dana says "Pao Rosewood is an african wood that looks a bit like Honduran Rosewood. Tonally it's in the same general category as Brazilian, Madagascar, Honduran Rosewood and Cocobolo. Within each of these species there is considerable variation in tone qualities, with condiderable overlapping between species. A good set of Pao can sound a lot like Brazilian Rosewood, or can have something unique that is rarely found in Brazilian." The first one of these was shown at IBMA and drew these comments: "This guitar was the sleeper of the show. You might imagine at a Bluegrass Show, an OM wouldn't get much attention but the 60+ year old West African Pao Rosewood set used on this guitar made it LOUD and rich and one of the loudest and best OM's we've heard. Dana had a few sets of this fine *old* wood, and would like to find more! The sound is full of detail without being boomy at all - Brazilian style overtone with a thick sustain.	$3,250
Bourgeois	OMC European Spruce top	Just arrived (USED) A remarkably clean "near mint" OMC guitar - in natural finish. A superior fingerstyle guitar with complex tone and lots of sustain. 1 and 3/4" nut width, pyramind bridge, gold tuners, nickel Straplock-style strap button.

It excels at open tunings and DADGAD, but sounds good any old way you use it. $4,695.00 List new - this one in "near-mint" condition, and you can have it for a song. Priced to sell quickly. ON CONSIGNMENT Check out the YouTube video of Raymond Morin (Pairdown, Work and Worry) playing this guitar.	$3,250

Collings	DS2HHRA Custom	Just arrived Just in on consignment (USED) a recent (2008) Collings DS2H HRA. That's "HR" for Honduran Rosewood and "A" for Adirondack spruce. Honduran rosewood is very dense and heavier than Brazilian with a unique tone that is both articulate and cutting like mahogany and reverberant like rosewood ("wet" and "dry" at the same time?) You know what we mean. Other than that, it is a premium DS2H with 1 and 13/16" nut width and slotted headstock. Oh, did we we forget to mention the beautiful *torch* on the headstock? Shame on us. The woods for this guitar come from Old Standard - known for supplying the finest Adirondack and Honduran in the industry. The best available woods. Would list for $6,700 today. Now: $4,750 and could pass, essentially, for new. NOTE: NEW Lower price. The guitar is now officially a "steal". Call soon!	ON HOLD

We can't decide where to start (or stop) gushing about this guitar. It is beautiful, that goes without saying (so why do we keep saying it?) but the sound....oooh...have you played any ten (make that eleven) year old Collings guitars? Ooooh. Forget anything you've thought or heard (or read) about new Collings being slightly "stiff" and wrap your arms and ears around a decade old Collings. They will have to send a search team out for you, because you will lose yourself in that guitar. Trust us. Collings KOA CJ with Adirondack spruce top, 1 and 3/4" nut width, dalmatian pickguard, abalone rosette, style three backstrip, ivoroid binding all over, and gold Waverlies.

Flammang	RS-35	Just arrived (USED) (EXC. +) Another fine used Flammang guitar from a great customer. We've had this guitar for a couple of weeks now. We apologize for not getting it listed sooner, but we just could not seem to put it down long enough to take pictures. It is *that* kind of guitar - one that catches you by surprise and makes you remember why you started playing guitar in the first place. True to the Roy Smeck tradition, this is a "jumbo dreadnought" with 16" lower bout that delivers HUGE tone, with big round bottom, but also plenty of sparkle. It is built like a football player, with big round shoulders and a 12 fret neck. The guitar has presence to spare. Perfect for that Jackson Browne singer-songwriter type, or fingerstyle blues in drop-D (watch out!). It has the 1 and 3/4" nut width, Adirondack top (hide glue) and a custom Cedar Creek case. We cannot say enough good things about it. If this guitar size fits you, this could well be the one you've been searching for. Honest, just Killer! The guitar is here ON CONSIGNMENT. NEW LOWER PRICE! Check out the YouTube video of Raymond Morin (Pairdown, Work and Worry) playing this guitar.	$2,950
Flammang	EL (black)	(USED) (EXC. +) Another fine used Flammang guitar from a great customer. Here comes our coolest Flammang yet. It will be the "EL" model (think vintage Gibson LG-1. Think short scale blues guitar. Think Robert Johnson. Think fast!) You know how good these are.

It's black all over, with mahogany back and sides and a tight grain sitka top. It has the 1 and 11/16" nut width and a 2 and 3/16" saddle spacing. It captures a vintage vibe with the refinement of a modern flawlessly sculpted guitar. A dry blues box with champagne class presence and sustain. It has a custom Calton flite case with it. It is rightly priced at $3,750 with the Calton. It is ON CONSIGNMENT. Note: The Calton case has been SOLD. The guitar is available with a "standard" used case now for $3,250. NEW LOWER PRICE.	$2,950

A very pretty sounding, devilishly artculate Goodall CJ, topped with stiff (Master Grade) straight and clear Adirondack spruce, gold mini-Schaller tuners with ebony buttons, light abalone rosette, maple binding, and diamond fretboard inlay. HUGE sounding guitar with zing, sparkle, and sustain. Nice to the power of thrice. Used, but you'd barely know it. It has been extremely well kept, the condition is excellent ++.

Beautiful woods, fine sound. Here on CONSIGNMENT. Read the story of the wood HERE	SOLD
Huss & Dalton	CM Custom KOA	(USED) One of the finest guitars to ever grace our humble tone emporium was this one about which we said: "OK you are Huss & Dalton - you've built a thousand guitars, you've turned a corner, what do you do for # 1001? You go down to the wood room and pick put the choicest pieces of koa and cedar you can lay your hands on, visit the abalone stash, and set out to build the guitar of a lifetime. Here it is: Serial # 1001 (2004 NAMM show guitar) Custom CM, rare and exotic AAA grade koa back and sides, AAAA Cedar top, 1 and 3/4" nut width, pyramid bridge, rosewood body binding looks great against the koa and dark cedar. Deep bodied auditorium (non-cutaway) 12 fret (24.9" scale) guitar. Might be the best guitar we have ever handled. SOLD - headed to France!" When Huss and Dalton turned another corner (2000 guitars) we asked to reserve serial #2001 for this guitar where we've re-visited the koa/cedar theme and ordered this one with the same neck, the same cedar/koa combination, but we've gone with a solid headstock (with koa knobbed gold Waverlies thank you very much) and rosewood binding all over and left off the abalone top border. Warm and plentiful - an amazing fingerstyle guitar. Almost classical-guitar like, but with the cool snap and sizzle of steel strings. A deep thinking person's guitar. An immediate favorite. Can be flatpicked moderately, but honestly, it prefers your fingers to your plectrum. Traded back here on a smaller guitar.	SOLD
Lowden	F 22	Just Arrived (USED) - This fine sounding circa-1992 Lowden F-series guitar features mahogany back and sides with a Cedar top. The curvacious mid-size "F" body features a 1 and 3/4" nut width on a 15 7/8" (lower bout) 4 23/32" depth box and a 650 mm. (25 19/32") scale length. The tuners are gold Gotoh's with amber buttons and an early Hiscox Deluxe Liteflite case. Handmade in Ireland - and posessed of great uniqueness and charm. The guitar has an active under-saddle B-Band pickup which was professionally installed. This guitar has been played professionally for the last few years. Priced to sell quickly! ON CONSIGNMENT.	$2,650
Randy Lucas	LOM-21	Just arrived (USED) (EXC.-) Another fine heirloom-grade used guitar for your consideration. Built by highly regarded luthier, Randy Lucas , this "21" style pre-war style slot head Brazilian Orchestra model. She's got old growth Brazilian rosewood, Adiondack spruce top (no tongue brace) with Adirondack spruce and advanced forward-shifted (1" from soundhole) bracing. Her fabulous neck has the perfect 1 and 3/4" nut width and a 2 and 1/4" saddle spacing. Just like the Merrill guitars we have encountered, this Lucas just nails the vintage vibe. It feels and sounds like a handcrafted Martin from the 1930's. Warm and rich, with exceptional attention to detail. Classic vintage voice with nicely figured Brazilan rosewood fret board and bridge. The back and sides are what we'd normally expect to see rated "AA" grade with 90% straight grain and a few worm holes. Tortoise binding, Waverly three-on-a-plate engraved bronze tuners, slotted peghead, cut thru saddle, herringbone rosette and center strip (no herringbone purfling on top - accurate for 21 style) fossil ivory bridge pins and end pin. Cosmetically, this fine guitar has some player wear, a few deep dings, and significant finish checking from some cold weather at late night jams at a fire hall in Oklahoma. Tonally, this fine guitar has very few equals. If you like 1930's Martins, you'll love this (1997) Lucas guitar. Trust us: VERY fine PRE-WAR sound with one of the most pleasing modified-V necks we have ever felt. The case is a beat up generic OM case. We can discuss case options. The guitar is rightly priced at $6,950 with the beater case. Or $7,450 with a used Calton OOO case. ABSOLUTELY No exports! Brazilian rosewood guitars can be sold within the continental USA only.	7,450
Mossman	1973 Great Plains Brazilian	Just arrived (USED) (1973) Always a pleasure to get one of these rare and special guitars. A "pre-fire" (the Mossman factory had a devastating fire in 1975 which destoyed the company's considerable stash of Brazilian rosewood) Great Plains model. 1 and 11/16" nut, low profile neck, 4/32" action at 12th fret, medium tall saddle, ivoroid binding, herringbone purfling, recent fret replacement (new frets have little to no wear) and GREAT bright, strong, Mossman sound. Very good condition overall. Many dings, typical belt buckle rash, capo scars on the neck. So what. They guy (or gal) who wants this guitar will not be a living room "ding-counter", she'll be a contest level picker whose shoes are still muddy from Winfield (where, by the way, Mossmans were made). It can be said, so we will, that Stu Mossman was 20 years ahead of his time, with some early innovations: bolt on neck, low profile necks, mortoise and tenon neck joints, and an attention to quality that was not prevelant in other American guitar factories in the early 70's - which many regard as the "DARK YEARS" for certain American brands. Mossman to the rescue. These guitars are keepers and are a flatpicker's dream come true. A good solid example in a totally beat (original) case. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT Bluegrass guitar. ON CONSIGNMENT. No exports. Brazilian rosewood guitars can be sold within the continental USA only. Great Price!	$4,900
National Resophonic	Style O Brass	Just arrived (USED) - The classic. Nickel plated brass style O. The one to have. Excellent condition, includes case.	SOLD
National Resophonic	Model 97 Tricone Surfer Girl	Just arrived (USED) - Very rare, a recent model 97, nickel plated brass Tricone with classic painted surfer-girl scene, and Highlander pickup. A neck mounted strap button has been removed and plugged. Other than that, this guitar could pass for NEW. It is cool. $3,000	SOLD
National Resophonic	El Trovador model with Hot Plate	Just arrived (USED) - Nice! A recent El Trovador, sold new here last year. Wooden resonator with National HOT PLATE pickup system (Jason Lollar Telecaster pickup) installed. Excellent condition, near-mint really, and the pickup sounds fantastic. A great gigging resonator.	$2,650
Santa Cruz	H13 Brazilian	Just arrived (USED) Santa Cruz makes a few models that really do stand out, and chief among them we believe is the H13, their deep OO with 13 fret neck joint reminiscent of the uber-cool Nick Lucas guitars. This one is a mighty special example with very high grade Brazilian rosewood, fine European spruce, Brazilian rosewood fretboard and pyramind bridge and slotted headstock, veneered with more Brazilian. It has the highly desirable 1 and 3/4" nut width, a low-ish profile neck, 3/32" action at 12th fret, 25.4" scale, multi-color herringbone purfling, and cocobolo body binding. What else could one ask for? One of the many nice things about the H13 is its versatility. This is one of those do-it-all guitars. Now, will it keep up with a Tony Rice model for flatpicking? No. Is it as clearly a fingerstyle guitar as the finest OO? Debatable. But does it do everything extremely well? And is it comfortable to boot? Absolutely. This guitar is in excellent condition overall. Words are inadequate. It is worth a road-trip to experience it, but here we offer the next best thing: a YouTube video of Raymond Morin (Pairdown, Work and Worry) playing this guitar. ON CONSIGNMENT. No exports. Brazilian rosewood guitars can be sold within the continental USA only.	$7,950
Santa Cruz	H14 Mahogany Top	Just arrived (USED) A very nice sounding (used, circa 1998) Santa Cruz model H, one of our favorite SC models here. This is a 14-fret all mahogany model H with 1 and 11/16" nut width, C profile neck, slotted headstock, abalone torch inlayed on the headstock, and nickel Waverly tuners. The action is high: 9/64" low E at 12th fret and 3/32" high E. The saddle is low, with 1/32" showing at the high E portion of the saddle. So it's a high action, sweet sounding, string thwacking blues guitar. There is a fair amout of relief in the neck, about .013" at the 7th fret, so we could probably lower the action *slightly* with a truss rod adjustment if that would suit you. But we want to be clear: the guitar has higher action than you might prefer. It sure is pretty though, and it sure sounds good. It is a very pleasant blues standard scale (25.5") gutiar that is also perfect for open tunings or bottleneck. The condition is VG++ based on the high action. Cosmetically, the guitar has minimal fret wear and is very clean except for some very slight finish bubbling around the bridge (fairly common on these guitars) Includes original case. SCGC model H Serial # 487. It is here on CONSIGNMENT (Sorry, No Trades)	$2,950
Santa Cruz	FS Rosewood with Cedar Top	Just arrived (USED) Rosewood and Cedar model FS, 1 and 13/16" nut width. A medium scale (25.375") fingerstyle guitar with style. Indian Rosewood with Cedar top, Brazilian rosewood back stripe and body binding, cutaway, FS style narrow peghead, high end Gotoh 510 tuners. This guitar has had some stage use, and has some scars to show for it - mostly on the (soft cedar) top. Nothing too serious, just cosmetic, and the honest play wear gives the guitar some visual character. Price includes original SCGC case.	$2,950
Tippin	SJ Koa	Just Arrived (USED) (EXC. condition -) OK! As handcrafted guitars go, Bill Tippin of Marblehead, MASS builds some of the finest. This is an SJ model, with cutaway, in flame koa. We are guessing the top is European spruce. We are waiting for a reply from Bill Tippin with an accurate description of the age and specs of the instrument. One thing we are not guessing about is the sound. It sounds fantastic, as all Tippins do. It is special and it is ON CONSIGNMENT.	$5,900
Smart	A-5	Just arrived! (USED) by Lawrence Smart of McCall, Idaho - a very fine blackface 1995 A model mandolin. Ivoroid binding on top and back, gold hardware, Schaller tuners. Smart #57. These mandolins are highly desirable, and difficult to find. This one is sixteen years old and has become quite a hoss. The blackface shows some wear, some wear-thru from a posted pinky, and has no tailpice cover. The case is a standard formed TKL style.	$4,900
