Gibson LGO
I found this small bodied Gibson in Bill's Music store in Catonsville, Maryland around '73 or '74.
I paid $100 around 1973 for this... 1965, Gibson, LGO sn. 300848.
It has ladderback straight bracing and is all mahogany . It didn't have any bass to speak of yet is was a real player. I played this one to death as my ultimate 'bedroom guitar'. The frets were getting worn nearly flat and the intonation was way off so... I was wanting something more and I had the M 36 which eclipsed it totally. I eventually sold it through Rob Martyn
Bought it new, I sold it in the spring of 2004.
Tacoma PR18 ltd
This was more than just a parlor guitar, I really liked the boat-shaped chunky neck!
It' was a great finger-picker and blues guitar! After a while, wanting a small bodied guitar to play with as I had the L-GO and to be a sturdy replacement for the Gibson L-1. This one is Brazilian laminated veneer with solid top, neck and head binding and ginko leaf inlays.
Martin M- 36
three - piece rosewood back. A really B - I - G guitar that I used playing for contra dances in the Philadelphia area ! Finally, I decided that this was one size too large for me but, I did get my Martin.
Larrivee Parlour Guitar
sn. 033142 all Mahogany body, spruce top, mahogany 12 fret neck bound in black with ebony slab fretboard side makers only - not drilled for end pin Larrivee inlaid on ebony veneer headstock. This was an early on when they just came out... I played a few at Guitar Center and picked this one out of the herd.
Larrivee Pete Anderson PAM-03
Solid flame maple painted guitar.I bought it from Fred's Music in PA on e-Bay... GREAT DEAL! when Larrivee had just announced that this model was discontinued... Too expensive to make super flamey yet painted like a plywood guitar. This guitar had really incredible sustain...but lacked bass... I sold on eBay to Japan to get the Jumbo.
Vintage guitars are next! M-36
