Practically new antique oil finished Gliga Gems II violin purchased this summer.

Comes with case, bow, slightly used rosin, and certificate. Email me and I'll provide a price for shipping plus insurance. I've sold a guitar and a banjo through these classifieds and everything went perfectly.

Want to Buy: Wasburn WD18SW

eric@banjohangout.org — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:07 CST

I came across a Washburn WD18SW (a solid sapele body) approximately two years ago, fell in love with it, almost bought it, then discovered it had a broken truss rod... One of the main reasons I listed a specific model was because I am looking for a guitar that has a deep warm sound to it like some mahogany or sapele tops have. I am looking for a guitar like this as an alternate guitar to play slide and blues on, since my primary guitar is slightly damaged and probably would not hold up to any adjustments. the best way to reach me is through email: psychedelicfeathers AT yahoo.com

For Sale: Gold Tone Metal Body Resonator Guitar - $300.00

eric@banjohangout.org — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:33 CST

Gold Tone Resonator Guitar Metal body round neck For slide blues but could be played as a dobro I bought this guitar brand new on ebay as grade B - damaged. The neck was coming loose from the body. It had been built at the factory with a dowel stick construction. The dowel stick was breaking away from the neck. I rebuilt it like a banjo neck/rim connection. With a block of wood inside the body and two neck bolts that go through the block of wood and are secured with nuts inside the body - just like a banjo. I guarantee/warranty this neck reset for one year. If it loosens at all, I will repair it at no cost or refund your money - your choice. It plays very nicely. I've tweaked the string action so that it is easy to fret. As usual, if you don't like it, I will take it back. You pay shipping both ways. No case

For Sale: Be careful when dealing with this man in instruments! - $0.00

eric@banjohangout.org — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:14 CST

This is a warning to anyone dealing instruments. Be very careful if dealing with a man named Justin Clabo. When i first posted my Mike Long guitar on here for sale last week, a man named Justin Clabo from Sevierville TN emailed me about the guitar. After emailing back and forth for a week, he told me he wanted to see the guitar and had cash to buy it. I agreed to meet him in Chattanooga TN. I live in south Mississippi and it was a 6 hour drive for me and my wife, who wound up making a small vacation out of the deal. I did it to help him out, so he could actually play the guitar to know if he wanted it. It was only an hour and a half from where he lived. Not only did he not show up, but failed to respond to anymore emails, or answer and return phone calls. I was out $75 dollars in gas and $50 for a hotel that i just went ahead and got so i didnt have to spend twelve straight hours on the road for just a guitar. I have learned my lesson about this situation and if anyone is interested in my guitars or instruments they will have to go by pictures unless they want to drive to me to look at the instrument. I was at fault but i have little to no respect for someone who lies like that. If he contacts you for instruments do NOT agree to meet him somewhere. Although he may show up he obviously had no respect for my time or money.

For Sale: 2005 Martin D-18 GE - $2,250.00

eric@banjohangout.org — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:32 CST

This is an exceptional sounding, near mint condition D-18 GE. It was ordered from the factory with ebony buttons. It's one of the very best sounding D-18's I've ever had my hands on from any vintage. It has a beautiful, wide grained Adirondack spruce top, 'forward X' scalloped bracing, small maple bridgeplate, ebony fretboard and bridge, and the old style 'Martin' stamp on the back of the peghead. If you're interested, you're welcome to bring any guitars on over and compare. I've personally compared this one to a couple of the Martin D-18 Authentic guitars (which list for $8849.00), and wouldn't trade this guitar for either This guitar is like new, and comes in the original Martin hardshell case. New it list for $4599.00-this one is $2,250.00 plus shipping (if applicable). I can put it in one the new 'Guardian' fiberglass guitar cases for an extra $125.00. Add 3% if using PayPal. thanks!

For Sale or Trade: PRICE REDUCED 1942 KAY O-100 UPRIGHT BASS - $3,000.00

eric@banjohangout.org — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:03 CST

PRICE REDUCED FROM $3500.....For those of you that follow bluegrass music, this 1942 Kay O-100 bass, serial number 10425, has a history. I bought it several years ago from the former bass player with Kenny Baker and Josh Graves. It's in VG+ condition. A neck heel repair from 30 years ago is stronger than beforehand. Beautiful, highly figured Brazilian rosewood fingerboard has pearl position markers on the side for accurate intonation and and ease of playing. I had a "Timeless Timber" non-adjustable bridge fit to it and with new HeliCore strings, this bass plays and sounds great. Comes with new nylon carry bag and K&M stand. I'm primarily a banjo player and this fine instrument needs to be in the hands of a bass player who can do it justice. $3,000 (or I would consider even/partial trade for good Gibson five-string banjo)

For Sale: The Texas Toe Tapper! - $65.00

eric@banjohangout.org — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:30 CST

Ideal for solo guitarists, banjoist, mandolinists (sitting or standing), keyboardists and percussionists wanting to add another element to their overall sound.

Stomp boxes have become popular with multi-instrumentalists such as John Butler Trio, Terry Allan Hall, Luka Bloom, John Lee Hooker (possibly the first to use one back in the 40’s), Chris Smithers, and many others.

Designed to be plugged into a bass amp, active subwoofer or PA, the Texas Toe Tapper has an amazing range of usable sounds. With a little EQ tweaking the sound can be sculptured to your taste.

The pickup on the Texas Toe Tapper is entirely passive, so there is no dead batteries to worry about or "wall warts" to trip over during a live performance!

One average stomp produces about -7 dB of gain, which is about the same as an electric or bass guitar, so this means it is suitable for direct input into a bass amp or other hi-Z unit, but might need a preamp or a DI to boost it's signal into a lo-Z mixing board. The output jack is a mono 1/4" (guitar) output, and is unbalanced.

Your Texas Toe Tapper was lovingly assembled right here in Texas and while I usually paint them light grey (shows less dust from your shoes), you can order them in any color at no extra charge!

8 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 1 1/2"

Here's what some satified customers have to say about their Texas Toe Tappers:

For Sale: English-style top-tension Mandolin - $250.00

eric@banjohangout.org — Mon, 9 Nov 2009 10:27 CST

Top-tension Antares mandolin, four courses of 2 strings. Nifty looking. Sounds like a mandolin with more "heft" in the lower end, "ring" in the higher registers. Imported (Japanese), well-made. I've had this mandolin -- bought brand new -- for about eight years and only played it once or twice when I first got it. Pristine condition. There is no case, but it will be shipped like a tank.

For Sale: Taylor 600 Special with Expression System Pickup - $1,150.00

eric@banjohangout.org — Mon, 9 Nov 2009 09:51 CST

I'm selling the first Taylor I ever owned! Purchased brand-new back in May of 2003, this is a 600 special, meaning it's a full dreadnaught body style. According to Taylor, they made these in the summer of '03 to boost sales, basically taking the standard guitars and adding some visual appointments typically only seen on custom-shop Taylors, and offering them for a good price. Spruce top, maple back, sides, and neck with cocobolo accents. This is one beautiful guitar! I call it my "cowboy guitar" because it reminds me of those fancy Martins, since it has beautiful abalone body inlay around the whole soundboard and the sound hole. I'm only selling it because I recently purchased a second Taylor (GS with Cedar Top), and promised my wife I would sell this one if I bought a different one. So sad to see it go! It's completely structurally sound and in great shape, with just two issues of note: first, it had to be sent back to Taylor and repaired when the corner of it hit the stage hard one Sunday, resulting in some minor damage to the finish and a nearly invisible hairline crack in the soundboard, down at the base near where you plug in (about 3" long). It was repaired by Taylor, and the repair was done very well--they do good work. It's completely sound, and re-finished so the crack won't widen or anything in the future. The other issue to note is the tuners--I had the bright idea of polishing them one day, but made the mistake of using a polish that took the goldish plating off the tuning heads. I realized my mistake after doing one, but figured I might as well do all 6 after that! So the tuners have nice, shiny silver heads, with gold posts and tuning assembly boxes. Other than that, it's in awesome condition, and sounds great plugged in since it has Taylor's amazing expression system pickup in it (3 microphones, actually--sounds like a well-mic'ed guitar, not a tinny piezo job). Also, you may notice in the "live" photo that the guitar has a John Pearse guitar armrest on it--I love these things! You can read more about them here on Janet Davis' site (where I purchased it.) Supposedly these are removeable (they just stick to the soundboard) but I've left it on because I like having an armrest. I'm asking $1300 OBO for this. It's a very unique guitar that was selling for $2,600 at Guitar Center when I bought it--please give it a good home!
