Hi, as some of you may know, I have closed New Hope Guitar Traders. While my love of guitars continues, my business of buying and selling them has not. Thank you all for your interest and support over the years. Like you, I will continue to make music for many years and with great joy. Jay

At this point, I think I have caught up with the video series. I hope to have more unique instruments come my way and will post videos when they do. Thank you for all your kind comments on this series.

This is a high end Regal carved arch top round hole guitar from the 1930's. It is not for sale. I thought some might find it interesting.

This is a 1979 Guild S-60 3/4--very cool with its 22" scale.

This shows a very interesting harmony made Dixon arch top from the late 1940's. The appointments are attractive and unique.

This is an actual Josh White Ovation. As I explain, the earlier guitar I posted as a Josh White has the same model number and very similar specs. This one is the real deal and is an homage to a great player, actor, and activist.

Well folks, I thought an update was in order since we missed the Philly Show for the first time in forever. It was all due to a bout of back surgery that has had put a significant limit on guitar trading and New Hope Guitar Traders. We are, however, on the mend and all will be well as we enter 2012. I also wanted to let you know that I now have an actual Ovation Josh White and will post a video soon.
