MATON CUSTOM BUILT BB1200 SEMI-HOLLOW BODY 

Maton built this guitar for me in 2005.  A beautiful semi-hollow body electric that combines a great look with classic tone. The Queensland Maple body, capped with Victorian Blackwood, and a Rock Maple neck copied from my ’68 Telecaster, capped with ebony finger board gives max sustain, a beautifully warm and rounded tone, but still with plenty of bite.  The Lollar Imperial Humbuckers (N 7.6K B 8.4K) can be split to single coils giving a huge palette of tonal options.  Grover Rotomatic tuners, 500K CTS split coil pots, Tonepros Nickel Tail Stop and Bridge, Ivory body with cream binding complete the picture.  It is in pristine condition for a 20 year old instrument as it has never been toured and only used in recording projects.  Comes with Maton strap and case.

1946 KING ZEPHYR TENOR SAXAPHONE

All original, beautiful honey patina lacquer in remarkable condition.  Matching body and neck serial numbers.    Double socket neck is tight with no movement, triple hole strap hook. These later Zephyr’s were essentially the same as the classic early post-war S20 horns, the only differences being cosmetic changes to key guards, neck bracing, and octave key.  Depending on choice of mouthpiece these ‘45 horns are known for their smoky, dark sound, that is well spread across its range.  It comes with an early Ralph Morgan 9* hard rubber mouthpiece and BG ligature and cap.  Played hard it simply roars yet has a velvety smoothness when gently coaxed.  It is a players horn, great for someone wanting to step up to a true vintage classic.  Sold with BAM Flight Case, HCouf Hard Case, and stand.
