(Guitar No. 1, top left to bottom right)

Peabody Rambler DeLuxe.  Brand new build.  This is our large body square-neck guitar in our affordable Rambler series.  Bookmatched solid birch sides, birch laminate top and back.  Some specs:  Our very own RLR Spider, U.S. spun cone, ebony capped maple bridge insert, bone nut, internal baffle, chrome hardware, rosewood fretboard and headstock overlay, cream binding top and back, hand-buffed gloss lacquer finish over our very popular Vintage Sunburst.  All the tone and volume most anyone would ever need, at the very affordable price of $2250.  Hard-shell case or Access Stage 3 gig bag (your choice) included.
(Guitar No. 2)
“Reverse” CoverGirl R-Body Pro Model.  Another brand new build!  FYI, our standard CoverGirl usually consisits of figured maple top and back, with mahogany sides.  This one is the “reverse of that, with the top and back being made of Honduras Mahogany, and the sides are figured maple.  We have worked the staining and sunbursting of the sides so that they look great against the natural mahogany color of the top and back.  This is our classic R-Body size and shape guitar.  We know how to build great tone and volume into our R-Body guitars, so don’t worry about this guitar not being as big as our larger Peabody Series guitars!  Some specs:  RLR Spider, U.S. spun cone, ebony capped maple bridge insert, bone nut, internal baffle, chrome hardware (fan cover plate and Grover #305-C tuners), ebony fretboard and headstock overlay, tortoise-white-black binding top and back, hand-buffed gloss lacquer finish.  The neck matches the body nicely too, a bit of a custom affair, being made of five plies, including maple, narra, and walnut.  This guitar puts out a sweet sound, tremendous sustain, all in all, a real fun guitar to play!  $3250.  Hard-Shell case included.

(Guitar No. 3)
Peabody CoverGirl Pro Model.  Yet ANOTHER brand new build!  This is our classic “CoverGirl” model, in the larger Peabody size.  The top and back of this guitar are made of very actively figured Birdseye Maple.  The sides are book-matched Genuine Honduras Mahogany.  The neck matches nicely too, also being made of mahogany, with jet-black ebony fretboard and headstock overlay.  More specs:  RLR Spider, U.S. spun cone, ebony capped maple bridge insert, bone nut, internal baffle, chrome hardware (poinsettia cover plate and Grover #305-C tuners), jet-black ebony fretboard and headstock overlay, classic white-black-white binding top and back, hand-buffed gloss lacquer finish over our very own CoverGirl Sunburst.  This guitar offers an extremely well balanced tone, all the way from the lowest bass note to the highest treble.  No lack of raw power when needed, thanks to our large body and our unique internal construction techniques.  Fear banjos no more!  $3450, hard-shell case included.

(Guitar No. 4)
Peabody Pro Model Custom Build.  This guitar is built with book-matched East Indian Rosewood back and sides, and a Red Spruce top.  The body was then bound in tortoise-white-black celluloid, top and back, for a stunning look.  The neck is solid mahogany, with ebony fretboard and headstock ovelay.  We hate to cover up beautiful wood like this, so we have finished this guitar in a hand-buffed, high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish.  Some more specs:  RLR Spider, U.S. spun cone, ebony capped maple bridge insert, bone nut, internal baffle, chrome hardware (including poinsettia cover plate and Grover #305-C tuners).  Subtly refined tone is what you get with this blend of woods and our construction technique.  All the volume you would ever need, but oh-so-responsive for delicate playing.  A thing of beauty is a joy to behold!  $3650, includes your choice of hard-shell case or Access Stage 3 gig bag.

(Guitar No. 5)
R-Body Pro Model Custom Build.  The wood we had on hand was the inspiration for this guitar.  This particular guitar is actually built from three different varieties of walnut, those being:  Claro Walnut, Eastern Walnut, and Bastogne.  The top is spruce.  More specs:  RLR Spider, U.S. spun cone, ebony capped maple bridge insert, bone nut, internal baffle, gold plated hardware throughout (including fan cover plate and Grover #305-C tuners).  The performance of this guitar is simply amazing.  Maybe I am a sucker for walnut reso’s, maybe it’s the blend of these different woods, the way we build, or maybe all of these things put together.  This guitar rocks!  Very loud, yet also great at slower frilly, trilly stuff too.  To top it off, this is just a beautiful guitar to look at too.  Your choice of a hard-shell or Travelite case, $3450.   We even have a bit of a video clip to show you how this guitar looks and sounds…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbJqQRsS9G8&feature=share&list=UU5beu4CRA7tswL7Od2u0GFg

Our customers have been asking for this for a long time.  We have been so busy building stringed musical instruments that we just haven’t had time, but now we have our very own ball caps, in stock, and ready to ship!

We looked at over 100 different caps before we found one that we really like.  We think you will like this one too!  It is from the Platinum Series, made by Outdoor Cap.  It has our “RedLine Acoustics” logo embroidered on the front of the cap.  This is a top quality cap, sort of an oil-cloth feel to it (without being oily!).  It is dark brown in color, slightly distressed, for a soft, comfortable feel, and a very nice look.  One size fits most.

Order yours now for only $15.00, plus $5.00 shipping/handling charges (U.S. orders only).  Contact us for shipping prices outside of the United States.

For today’s RedLine Acoustics “Deal of the Day” offering, we have a very nice, yet very affordable mandolin, “The Loar” LM-600-VS.  We don’t think you’ll find a finer instrument for the price than The Loar LM-600-VS. Featuring a solid hand-carved top and back, a one-piece hand-shaped maple neck, and finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, the LM-600-VS is a great mandolin at a great price!

Some of you may know that our parent company, Cumberland Acoustic (www.cumberlandacoustic.com) makes fine reproduction mandolin bridges.  We have been putting our bridges on these “The Loar” instruments, and it always results in improved performance of the mandolins!  We have installed our own U.S. made Cumberland Acoustic bridge on this mandolin, and have also included an overall set-up, which includes professional fret-leveling, fine tuning the nut slots, truss rod adjustment, and even some minor tweaks to the tailpiece.  Our Pro-Style set-up really takes these mandolins to the next level of tone, volume, and playability, and we have done all of that to this very mandolin (at a fraction of our normal price for this upgrade).

This mandolin is a fine choice for a near-beginner, or experienced player.  It offers a very high performance-to-price ratio, with an unbelievable price for a very nice F-5 style mandolin. The Music Link offers a variety of mandolins, and this one is right up at/near the top of their product line-up.  Outstanding tone, plenty of volume, and very easy to play.

Welcome to today’s “Deal of the Day”.  Here is another non-RedLine Acoustics instrument.  Today we are featuring an R.Q. Jones resophonic guitar.  Rudy has been building resophonic guitars since the 1970′s, and his guitars have become sought-after collectibles.   Don’t miss this fine example of Rudy’s work!

This particular guitar is built out of mahogany, and includes the slotted-style headstock.  The fretboard is made out of ebony and had mother of pearl dot markers on it.  This guitar has a fan cover plate on it, with chrome hardware throughout.  The bridge insert appears to be made of hedge-apple wood, or what some call bodark, osage orange, etc.

It is my understanding that many of Rudy’s resophonic guitars were made of walnut.  This one, with its book-matched mahogany construction, and slotted headstock make it one of the more rare RQ Jones guitars out there.

This guitar is in great shape, especially for its age, with no apparent flaws, cracks, or other defects.  It plays well, and has the voice and tonal characteristics that made these guitars so popular.

A hardshell case, which also shows normal signs of wear, is included with this guitar.

DOTD Special Price:  $2200

If you are looking for a bluegrass mandolin, it’s hard to beat one of the good ones from Gibson, and this one, right here on today’s “Deal of the Day, is one of the good ones!   Today we are showcasing a very unique Gibson F-5 Distressed Master Model Mandolin.  This fine instrument has several features that make it a one-of-a-kind find, such as: custom finish work (Varnish Finish in Hot Caramel color), block inlays in fretboard, slightly larger frets, antique gold hardware (yes, those top quality Waverly Tuners), mother of pearl truss rod cover, and the Master Model specific pickguard.  I might add that the highly figured maple on the back, sides, and neck are gorgeous too!

This mandolin was originally built for a member of the mandolin building team at Gibson.  He played it and recorded with it, but he also took great care of it, as it looks to be in “as-new” condition, even though it was built in 2008.  Performance-wise, with the Adirondack spruce top and varnish finish, the sky is the limit when it comes to tone and volume.  Plenty of both (tone and volume) and a top quality set-up make this mandolin a pure joy to play and to own.

Price-wise, this mandolin is a real bargain for the true connoisseur of mandolins.  The closest equivalent mandolin that Gibson is now making is the Skaggs Distressed Master Model F-5 has a list price of $25,544.  The lowest “street price” we were able to find  (if you can find one for sale) is right around is $23,000.  You can have this one-of-a-kind collectible beauty for only $17,500.  This includes a reproduction Loar-style case, the same case that came as standard equipment with all Gibson Master Model F-5 mandolins.

So, to repeat, for those that like to scan right to the bottom for the price:

Retail Price for comparable mandolin, if bought new:  $25,544
DOTD Special Price for this very gently used mandolin:  $18,500

Welcome!  For today’s “Deal of the Day” offering, we have our very own RedLine Acoustics RL-45 guitar.  We built this guitar in our shop just on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee.  We use design and construction techniques that were used back in the early 1940′s, when these slope shoulder large body guitars were first introduced.  As you probably know, some of these older original guitars are highly sought after, and quite valuable, even if they are tattered and torn from years of playing.  If you are a fan of these guitars from the days of old, we feel you will just love our RL-45′s.  Great tone, a well shaped neck, and a very easy-to-navigate fret scale and string spacing make this guitar a pleasure to play, to hear, and to look at!

Folks, at this price, you can’t go wrong!  This really is a nice guitar, at about the price you would have to pay to add a pick-up to your existing guitar!

For today’s ONE DAY “Deal of the Day” offering, we are spotlighting a bit of a unique version of our own Advanced Parlor Guitar.  This guitar differs from our standard Parlors in that the neck joins the body at the more traditional 14th fret.  Most of our Advanced Parlors are built with a 13 fret neck.  Bet you didn’t know that!

Anyway, this is a very versatile guitar.  Its slightly smaller size makes it a joy to hold and play.  You will find your way around the fretboard quickly on this expertly set-up 24 3/4″ scale neck.  Due to the slightly modified body shape, and added body depth, this guitar puts out a surprising amount of volume, with very nice tonal characteristics. Further, we are offering this guitar at a VERY attractive price.

Book-matched Honduran Mahogany back and sides
