some beautiful guitars... the Lowden F50 is giving me serious, serious GAS

[Bluedog Guitars]

That F50 is really something beyond special, royd. That one I'll really regret selling, but I'm ordering the same one in the S size for myself as the F is just a bit big for me.

[blaren]

Order a Halcyon from these guys!!
You can get them to order you anything you want not just Parlour size.

I dont know how they compare to a $10,000 Lowden but...I've had and tried a MILLION high end acoustics and...at $999...or ANY price really...I've never had or even HELD/played an acoustic better than my Halcyon AJ with adi over rw.

[Bluedog Guitars]

Here's the new Huss & Dalton OO guitars we just got in the shop.



The sunburst beauty on the left is the Crossroads in Mahogany and Sitka ($3400 CAD) and the pretty little blonde on the right is the T-OO14 Custom in East Indian Rosewood with a Red Spruce top ($4250 CAD).

[Bluedog Guitars]

And a few more new arrivals at Bluedog...

First, something to expand your tonal palette: a stunning Baritone by Anthony Karol of Ontario. Both Bruce Cockburn and Tommy Emmanuel own one of these Karol Baritones!

This Karol Signature Baritone, tuned B-B, has Honduran Mahogany back and sides with Sitka top, Adirondack Spruce bracing, mini-armrest, soundport and K&K pure mini pick-up. SOLD



The next guitar is from Morgan Guitars right here in North Vancouver (Morgan's David Iannone was Jean Larrivee's last true apprentice many years ago). Morgan Guitars are true 'player's guitars', played by everyone from Sarah McLachlan to Jim Byrnes to George Canyon to Stephen Fearing.



This guitar is a very special one-of-a-kind Morgan Concert Cutaway in 20 year old local Flamed Maple with a Sitka Spruce top, ebony binding, black herringbone rosette, B-Band pickup and the first-ever blue Morgan logo on the headstock!

We LOVE how this guitar sounds, how it looks, and how it feels to play!

Bluedog price: SOLD

[Bluedog Guitars]

Lot's of new guitars have arrived! Most haven't made it onto our website yet, though they are on Facebook.

Karol Signature XL Baritone Custom-Built for Tommy Emmanuel
This guitar was originally custom-built for Tommy Emmanuel, but because it has Brazilian Rosewood and Abalone in the rosette, another one was built for Tommy so he wouldn't have to worry about travelling with those restricted materials. Bruce Cockburn also owns one of these Karol Baritone Guitars! This one is in African Mahogany with a very rare Curly Sitka Spruce top, K&K Power Mix pick-up, Soundport, Mini-Armrest Bevel & Tweed hardshell case. $6000

Please give us a call at 604-971-2893. More guitars arriving soon, including a 1 of 2 handbuilt dread by Frantisek Furch in Macassar Ebony for Musikmesse 2001...

[jlwoodall]

I'll take one of each, thank you very much!

What a beautiful selection of guitars!

[Anthony7]

Some beauties you got there!!!

Being in North Van, you have to add Webber to the list, no?

[Bluedog Guitars]

Thanks! We're really proud of our luthiers and their fine work! We just met David Webber recently and hope to add his fine guitars to our selection soon. Like many of our builders (Michael Dunn, Shelley D. Park...), he is more well- known internationally then here at home. That is the humble Canadian way, eh?

[Bluedog Guitars]

Here's a very unique one-off Halcyon Parlour specially built for Bluedog! This Parlour has Mahogany back and sides, Sitka Spruce top, and Koa binding and rosette. Big open sound from this pretty little guitar! $999 plus $128 for the hardshell case.

[Bluedog Guitars]

Very Rare Frantisek Furch D-26 SE 2001

Here's a very rare guitar (1 of 2) handbuilt by Frantisek Furch for Musikmesse Frankfurt 2001, featuring Macassar Ebony back and sides with a Sitka Spruce top. While Furch is a name well-known in Europe, Stonebridge is the name of his factory models in North America.

The guitar built after this one is for sale in Europe at AGF Sponsor TFOA for $3750 Euros but as this one is located in Vancouver, our price has to be much lower: $2895 CAD

There is also some pick damage on this guitar, along with a few dings and marks on the binding, front and back - photos available by email.

[Bluedog Guitars]

Here's a fine like-new guitar by Vancouver ex-Larrivee custom-builder, Heath Thomsley Hales. This is a satin-finish OM in Koa with Sitka Spruce top, ebony fretboard and bridge. $1495 CAD - new hardshell case extra, required for shipping.



And this 1956 Gibson CF-100 is still for sale and wants to go home for Christmas - one of 1670 made! Finish crack only on top. $4720 CAD - new hardshell case extra, required for shipping
