For sale is my 2005 Paul Sheridan concert guitar. This has been my concert instrument for the past three years. The scale is 648 mm and features an elevated fingerboard, a very light, lattice-braced, western red cedar top and beautiful, laminated padauk arched back and sides. Additionally this guitar features Schaller machine heads, ebony fretboard, a matching padauk bridge, and a 20th fret extension.
There is one small one inch crack on lower bout that was there when I purchased the guitar. The crack has not worsened in that time and is barely noticeable. A picture of the crack has been included in the attachments.
The first thing you discover about this instrument is that it has a beautiful, clear, and powerful sound that offers a broad range of tonal colors. The guitar plays like a dream as it is very responsive and gives the performer plenty of sound with a very minimal amount of effort. Paul's new instruments are being sold at $9000 AUD (about $8900 US), base price. My asking price is $6000.
Any inquiries can be sent to Hart Wells at hartwells77@yahoo.com.

Here
is a superb 2006 Thomas Humphrey "Millennium" model guitar in fabulous condition. The spruce soundboard,
with a hint of bearclaw in the lower bout, is in almost new condition with the
most minimal playing wear and only a couple of tiny marks. The grain varies
from rather wide on the sides to very tight at the middle seam. The back and
sides are Brazilian Rosewood in nearly perfect condition.
This guitar is from the last 2 years of Tom’s
production and has the trademark quality of tone that the Humphrey Millennium
is known for - a powerful, "hollow" and very focused sound which
makes these instruments particularly well-suited to the concert stage, where
added projection is welcomed by both the audience and the player. I have
listened to this guitar played in a
concert hall, back to back, with other great concert instruments. In addition
to having great volume/projection, it has a warm beautiful tone, which compared
very favorably to that of traditionally braced guitars by Dean, Ambridge, Marvi
and Byers.
The neck measurements are all standard.
The nut = 53mm, action height at 12th fret is 4.2 mm on the bass
side and 3mm on the treble. The action on this guitar is perfect and a joy to
play, and of course, it has the raised fingerboard, which makes playing up high
remarkably easy. It has the original Gotoh tuners with black Florentine buttons.
I am, I believe the 2nd
owner. The first one was a steel string player/collector who, since he hardly
played this guitar, decided to sell it after about 5 years.
This is a fabulous example
of Tom Humphrey’s late work and would be a great instrument for a serious
collector or concert performer. Included is the
original GWW hardshell, chestnut/alligator, vinyl case in great shape.
Feel free to ask questions; I’m happy
to tell you anything more I know about this guitar. I'm am asking $ 20,000. Alan Johnston 612-618-1345

Alan Chapman Classical Guitar
Made in early 1978 by this Well-Known Massachusetts Luthier as a Special Order for its Current and Only Owner
Norwegian Spruce Face
Grenadilla Sides and Back
Ebony Fretboard
Quarter sawn Mahogany Neck
Hand-made Alan Chapman Rosette
Tuners replaced in 2002 by Herb David Guitar Studio of Ann Arbor, MI (now d.b.a. Ann Arbor Guitars)
Hard-shell Case
Appraised in 2002 for $5000.
This was Alan's top-of-the-line design at the time and produces deep basses and clear, present trebles with its nicely aged spruce face.
I'm playing very little classical these days, and this guitar deserves a good home where it can be appreciated! A few nicks in finish near bridge and tuners but otherwise clean.
Asking $3500.

A fellow GFAer writes (edited to protect identity):
I have my (guitar) listed for sell on your site. I thought it would be nice to let the other members know of a scam I have seen twice (two different guitars) which goes as follows. Usually the English being used does not sound quite right. The scammer will say they want to buy your guitar without asking much about the instrument. Once the price has been agreed to and usually they don't care if they have to pay full asking price, they will not be able to send cash or check but will want to go through PayPal. They will not want to use standard shipping such as UPS or FedEx and will want to use some "pickup" service. They will tell you that the pickup service requires advanced payment ($980 in this case) and will only take it via Western Union (or the type) and that they cannot pay them themselves but will "add" in the appropriate amount if you will pay them. Then comes the hook...they claim that they have made the payment to your PayPal account and you get a couple of emails that look like they might be from Paypal...but they are not. If you look closely the PayPal url is from a foreign country and there has been a "temporary hold" on the funds until the guitar is picked up. You will have to use your own money for the "pickup" service. This should be a big hint. I talked to PayPal and this is a very well known scam. Don't get caught. Please pass the above along to my fellow members. It is easy to get caught up since we all want our guitars to sell, but when it sounds to good to be true and outside the country and you have to send money before getting money...RUN!!!

A very special custom guitar built by Kris Barnett in Atlanta. Label says 12/09, but it was completed in early 2010. Lattice bracing, elevated fretboard, soundport, cedar top, Macassar Ebony (rounded) back, sides, fretboard and front of head, 20th fret, armrest (held on with natural magnets, and tailpiece. Ebony tuners were upgraded from builder, Custom built Hoffee carbon-fiber case (purple with leopard print interior). There is a small crack in face (lattice bracing...) which is in a non-threatening spot (above soundhole towards player's head). It was repaired by master builder Gary Lee over a year ago and has not increased in size. I am just downsizing my collection (economy, kids going to college, etc.) and going electric (!). The guitar can be heard on my recording (first 14 pieces): All We Know is Now, which is on Itunes and CDBaby.This was recorded only 5 months ago. $3,500 keithcalmes@rocketmail.com

Very good shape, like new. This guitar was built for the famous concertist Turibio Santos. Spruce Friederich guitars are incredibly rare. This one is an exceptional model as it's like new and for its performance.
This model is the 'grand concert' featured with double-sides. it has a spruce top, Indian rosewood sides (both inside and outside), and the back is Indian rosewood as well. This guitar was never repaired or modified, in its total original condition. Dominique Field recently touched it up. He redid the neck French polish, reftretted it and cleaned the original polish all over - which has aged but still in excellent condition. This guitar is powerful and musical and it will always be an amazing instrument for concerts. On top of its general qualities, it is very flexible and lyrical as were Friederich's guitars back in the 70s.
This guitar is currently located in Paris at Dominique Field's shop. Shipping will be performed by Dominique Field which is a warranty of proper handling. Asking price is $39,000
