Steve Swan Guitars
High Quality New and Used Acoustic Guitars
Pre-1950 Martin and Gibson instruments coming in January.
Among the prewar Martin guitars coming in November is a A great sounding refinished 1939 D-28 that is both stage and recording studio tested. I had a chance to play this guitar briefly about 6 years ago and found it to be warm and rich from decades of play.
Among the vintage Gibson instruments expected in January is a 1951 Southerner Jumbo and a special order 1954 Gibson L-7C with added 1958 single P-90 pickup harness, 1954 knobs.
