Stanford Guitars - Vintage styled powerhouses
The Stanford line includes fine European guitars by Furch and the small-shop Chinese "Performer" series aimed at the "Blueridge" market. Email for a .pdf of our current stock & prices, or call and chat.
The Furch made guitars are simply superlative. As the recent purchaser of an OM20P stated: " --- balanced, ultra smooth, responsive-- it's like I'm listening to a beautiful sound system and can hear every instrument in the orchestra--- smooth bass. Craftsmanship -- just gorgeous and tastefull simplicity. The instrument just seems to ring and sing to me."
Currently we have a slothead rosewood OM, a mahogany OM, and a beautifully balanced mini-jumbo F10P in stock. Here's an example of an RD5Vin.
The lower priced excellent imported Stanford Performer series guitars are very well made and offer:
- Available in Dreadnaught, round shoulder & OM
- Traditional looks
- Fine solid woods
- Nicely done scalloped bracing (except OM)
- Relatively deep neck
- 1 3/4" nut
- 25.5" scale
- Bone nut & saddle
- Beautiful workmanship
- Modest prices
- Quite a few demo guitars available - reduced!
These aren't really jazz instruments, but I like them. Very nice standard copies of the classic designs, with much better bracing and tone than the typical imports. Much better! Nice trade guitars of good wood, like the fine American trade guitars that were built during the early part of the 20th Century. A performance bargain. Remember when a scalloped brace guitar with good craftsmanship actually cost a good deal of money? See a harmony central review here.
Traditional craftsmanship is demonstrated in the accurate and careful hand-carved interior bracing - nicely following pre-war Martin specs, careful detailing, 1 3/4" nuts and secure necks make for real playability, adjustable truss rods, and thin finishes. Really lively wood used is simply wonderful. Openback Waverly style tuners. Nice nice feel to them. $35 shipping, return if you don't like.
