#5665. OMS 12 Fret Slot Head with an Italian Spruce top and Curly Koa back and sides. Kate at Maple Leaf was very particular when she ordered this guitar. The Cocobolo body binding was hand- picked to tie together the look of the rich deep browns of the fingerboard, our Tile Rosette and the pickguard with the beautiful colors in this set of Koa. The Snakewood buttons on the 3-on-a Plate Waverly tuners are the perfect. 1 3/4 nut with plenty of power in the 25.5 scale. Call our friends at Maple Leaf Music to hear about this one. It isn't just a looker, but a big, rich sound.
#5603. The NEW "0 Classic". Indian Rosewood and European Spruce. Our newest model is a short scale with 14 frets to the body. Knowing our guitars, you'd expect complexity and balance but the suprise comes from the power. This guitar belies its size. Check it out here.

Here's what Brian Wolf of Acoustic Music.org says about this guitar:
"About the time it felt like the world was ending I started thinking of the things I loved. There was my wife and children, my cat and my old Martin 00-17. I was reminded of how the simple ‘17’ series guitars issued in the late 20’s took off around 1933, another time in our history when it felt like the world might be ending. The 00-17 was a guitar of lasting value at an amazing price. Well the world didn’t end, and I’m not sure it will any time soon.
At winter NAMM this year we tossed around the idea of a ‘Recovery’ model type of guitar built in the tradition of the all mahogany guitars of the 30’s. I sent Dana my 1944 00-17 and said, “make us a guitar based in spirit of this guitar that you would be proud of”.
Dana built us this guitar and it is everything we hoped for with a few surprises, like sustain that goes on forever and a damped down tubby bass that makes you dream of New Orleans on a warm summer day."All Premium Mahogany. 14 Fret , 25" scale. Tortoise binding. To round out the vintage look: Ivoroid logo, dots, Vintage style Waverly Tuners, and a fantastic price to match the perfect simplicity of the design.

#5598. The D-150. Beautiful Adirondack and Brazilian. Triple Bound Ivoroid purfle everywhere. Gold Waverly Tuners. Beautiful Certified Fossil Ivory hand made bridge pins. Abalone rosette. If you would like to see some really great close ups of this D-150, go to Mandolin Brothers' listing. Right down to the matched peghead veneer this guitar is evidence of the care and attention put on every detail of our guitars. What other small shop can boast that the guy who has his name on the headstock is so involved he actually picked out the head veneer ! That's micro-management used for the good! Great pics: http://mandoweb.com/Instruments/Bourgeois-D-150+Brazilian+Rosewood/147.aspx
Give Mandolin Brothers a call to learn more.
