1. Wilborn L00 Sitka Spruce / Cocobolo / Pickup -2012 Hiscox case Waverly tuners LR Baggs Anthem Pickup $4000 AUD / $2950 USD "Based on a mid -1930’s Gibson L-00, this short scale, 14-fret guitar is a pleasure to play. A small body makes it easy to hold, but my top secret bracing allows the top to really flex, creating a sweet, fat sound. Though the original L-00 is often described just as a “Blues Box”, my version has more range. Finger style players as well as flatpickers love this instrument. This model is my personal favorite studio guitar. I love the proportions and feel of this model. 1.75″ nut width. 16″ radius on the fingerboard". condition is 8.5-9/10. there are no blemishes, finish cracks and just a couple of finger nail marks. 2. Wilborn OM Engelmann Spruce / EIR (New with warranty) $5500 AUD / $3900 USD "This is the most versatile guitar size. Based loosely on the Martin O.M., this guitar is big enough to handle a large ensemble jam, and sweet enough for a gentle fingerpicker. It has a rich, warm quality to the midrange, a tremendous bass, and a sparkly, yet articulate, high end. With a Sitka or Lutz spruce top, and East Indian back and sides, the Orchestra is the benchmark guitar to compare all others to, and is comfortable for players of all sizes. 25.4″ scale length is standard. A 16″ radius on the fingerboard. 1.75″ neck at the nut". 3. Wilborn Dreadnought Old Sitka / EIR / Pickup (New with warranty) Bevel Waverly tuners K&K pure mini pickup Hardshell case Sound port $6500 AUD / $4750 USD "The iconic instrument of bluegrass and flat-picking. A big round body with lots of power and drive. Mine is a lightweight version of a prewar Martin, with bracing adapted to give the guitar a more present midrange, and a warmer high end than is generally associated with the Dread. My version has a little bit more depth to the body for an explosive rhythm sound, and a very out-front lead tone – a real “Banjo Killer”. I love this model with Mahogany back and sides. 25.4″ scale length. 16″ radius on the fingerboard, and a 1.75″ width at the nut". 4. Wilborn Archtop Bearclaw Sitka / Quilted Maple / Pickup (New with warranty) Carved Top and back Sound port Gotoh 510 tuners Custom Cedar Creek Case $9000 AUD / $6600 USD This is a one of a kind custom. Top sounding guitar with a 5 star finish to match. Shipping is usually around $200 worldwide. Last edited by miggicc; 05-26-2016 at 01:47 AM. |

That archtop looks like my favorite of all time, a round hole Gibson L-4. Yours is so pretty it just about makes me want to cry. A fine example of superb work, functional art for sure.
