Swinging with this Vintage Kay K6970 Swingmaster Sunburst! It originally came out in the late 50’s, and made for a short time as a high-end, thinline hollowbody, before being updated. Serious Kay fans and collectors look for the original model, which is what we have here.

The body is a thinline (2” deep) full hollowbody with a single rounded cutaway and double F-holes. It’s made of curly maple laminate for the top, back, and sides, with a spruce top. It has an easy to play slim profile neck, made of steel reinforced maple and topped with a rosewood fretboard. The result is a very resonate guitar, which sounds great the moment you pick it up and even better when you plug it it,

Dual super sensitive magnetic pickups bring vintage tone that is clear and rings beautifully, especially on chords, but with enough bite for lead playing. You get a 3-way selector switch as well as seperate tone & volume controls.

Another preowned acoustic from the wall this is a Pre-Owned Cort Modern Black Trans Black Acoustic ! We’ve never had one of these in here, and as soon as we picked it up ourselves, we were kind of blown away. This is a great sounding, smooth playing and visually enticing acoustic - and at this price, it provides value beyond what one may expect.

This Cort Modern features a resonant Grand Concert body style that is perfectly compact but still provides dynamic tones with warm lows, rich mids, and articulat highs with a Venetian cutaway for complete access to the entire fingerboard. And thanks to its innovative dual side-positioned sound ports you get projection directed right at your ears so you can hear every nuance your playing even when played softly. In addition it also projects up to fill the room for your audience as well. Since there is no soundhole on the top this allows the entire top to vibrate giving you maximum resonance. This is a truly evolutionary design. The top is a Master Grade European Spruce Top with solid Mahogany with hand-scalloped X-Bracing for maximum stability and resonance.

Happy today we got this Used Modern in Natural! This Suhr Custom series guitar was a spec build for CME. It’s a stunning example of American craftsmanship, designed for both aesthetic appeal and exceptional playability. Its natural finish showcases the beauty of the wood, while the Modern body shape, crafted from a two-piece black limba, provides a unique visual and tonal character. The top of the guitar is made from selected figured walnut, measuring 3/16” thick, which not only enhances its visual allure but also contributes to its rich sound. The entire body is finished with a glossy sheen, giving it a polished look that is sure to catch the eye of any musician or collector.

Showcasing this sweet Chena Trans Black Winter Solstice Finish Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar! Enjoy the coolest of semi-hollow tones with this Knaggs Chena in the striking Winter Solstice finish. This is Joe Knaggs’ unique vision of the hollow-body electric guitar. The Chena features expert craftsmanship and high-quality components to create a hollow-body with a soul.

This Knaggs features a carved Tier 1 Curly Maple top over a thick, chambered Mahogany body. This construction provides the resonant, airy quality of a traditional archtop but with the sustain and feedbackbusting of a solid-body instrument. The Winter Solstice finish perfectly shows off the deep, figured grains of the maple giving the guitar a look that is both icy and elegant. It features a mahogany neck with a classic “C” profile and an ebony fingerboard adorned with Knaggs’ signature morning star inlays. The 24.75” scale length and 12” radius offer a familiar, comfortable feel for players used to vintage specs, while the Influence bridge system, designed by Joe Knaggs himself, increases string vibration and harmonic transfer to the body. This is an instrument that feels incredibly alive in your hands, vibrating with every note played.
