ACOUSTIC GUITAR - LAW SUIT ERA
$800
This guitar was made by Sugano Gakki. I purchased it from Lewis Music Store in Russel Street Melbourne in the late 1960's. I was told that it was a copy of a Martin D42 and that the manufacturer had sent a few to Australia to demonstrate their skills in making quality guitars at affordable prices. I now know that this resulted in the term 'law suit guitars' in America. I cannot be certain of the year of purchase but know it was before I entered the workforce full time in 1970. I paid for it on lay-by with earnings from a weekend job.
The guitar has no markings other than a serial number inside the body (500410 or 599410) and a stamped "Made in Japan". Research has not discovered anything further.
I have owned it since new. The case is original. There are two tiny indents on the body (see pic). Otherwise, this 60 year old guitar is in near new. condition. It has not been played for over 40 years (see photo of pick guard). My dream of becoming the next great folk singer never happened but life did. I just kept carrying it around with me through places lived, marriages etc.
I live in Tasmania but can freight at buyers expense.

- Gibson Hummingbird Cherry Sunburst 2001 Dreadnought Acoustic GuitarThe best rock 'n' roll acoustic ever made. The square shouldered Gibson Hummingbird in Cherry Sunburst has got more swagger than Jagger. Solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides. I've owned this one since 2010 and recorded 4 albums with it. It's sick. 1 3/4 inches at the nut makes it great for fingerstyle but even better for strumming big open chords, with a slim fast neck to boot. TONNES of mojo in the sound - big warm woody mids with plenty of bottom end and some clean warm tops. I rep$5,000NegotiableOld Beach, TAS•7w
