Fender® Custom Shop '51 Nocaster Reissue

This one, from Guitar Gallery Music & Sound, is a relic.  Nicely reproduced wear, very authentic looking.
The Nocasters have great raw sound.

Check out this video from Guitarsnoop.com, where the 51 Nocaster is compared to an American Standard:

Look at that Maple top, just beautiful.  These guitars sound and play unlike anything you've tried.  If you've never played one, you're really missing out!

Here's the man, Don Grosh himself, demo-ing one for you:

Taylor GC5

The GC 5 has always been one of my favorite small bodied acoustics.  The Mahogany back & sides, and the Cedar top just work so well together witht the short scale.

This one comes from Piccolo's Music in Montana:

Collings SoCo "Dog Ear" Custom

Wow!  Check this out from Custom Shop Guitars:
http://www.customshopguitars.com/custom_shop_guitar_003.htm
http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/customshopguitar.html

I love P-90's, and I REALLY love those Dog Ears!  Collings makes such fine instruments.  I never heard one of these in person, but I casn only imagine it sounds at least as good as it looks!

I can't seem to find a video of this guitar being played... so if you have one, and would like to share, I'd love to see & hear it!
