Exceptional condition. Only has bare hint of strings touching the frets and no dings, dents or scratches.
     Sunburst slope shoulder guitar with long scale and 1 3/4" width at nut. Built in the tradition of pre-war "Advanced Jumbo" guitars, it has advanced scalloped hand-tuned bracing.
     Master grade quarter-sawn old growth Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and Adirondack Red Spruce top. Ebony fingerboard and peghead overlay, with beautiful delicate handcut abalone inlay pattern and JWalker logo in peghead. Ebony bridge with 'cut through' saddle. Ivory saddle and nut. Ebony pins. Very nice "late '30's" style sunburst. Firestripe pickguard. Finely crafted wooden bindings throughout, with multiple bindings on top edge with outside flamed Maple layer, flamed Maple single binding on back. The fingerboard binding can hardly be described, as Mr Walker "insets" the outer flamed Maple strip very cleverly into the side of the fingerboard without the Maple showing at top of fingerboard. Peghead is multiple bound with black outer bindings. Abalone soundhole rosette.
     This is a very powerful guitar... Lots of presence and power, with excellent balance, attack, sustain and projection. It is set-up very well and needs nothing.
     * Remember - John Walker was a key player when Gibson re-issued the "AJ" guitar in 1990. I would suggest that he may have more experience with building "AJ" style guitars than just about anyone.

     New.
    Very high-grade Adirondack top and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. Maple bound on top, back and peghead. Mahogany neck with radiused Ebony fingerboard and pearl dot inlays. Nickel Waverly tuners.

Nice parlor sized guitar. Engelmann Spruce top, Maple back and sides. 1 3/4" nut width. 24.75" scale length. Demo/sale price...

     New (Demo). No signs of any careless handling or player wear on the instrument. This guitar has two very polite lines of finish checking that are difficult to spot.
     Extremely highly figured Maple back and sides. Mahogany neck. High grade Englemann Spruce top. Beautiful blonde finish. Multiple ivoroid binding around top and back edge, with black line showing on top, back and sides. Headstock and fingerboard are bound with ivoroid.  Ebony fingerboard, peghead overlay and bridge. Abalone JWalker logo inlaid in headstock. Abalone cut diamond inlays in fingerboard. Unbleached bone nut. Fossile ivory 
"thru-saddle". Boxwood bridge pins and endpin. Complex "zipper" wooden marquetry back strip in center of back. Gold Waverly pre-war style open-back tuners. 1 3/4" width at nut. 2 5/16" pin spacing at bridge.
     This is a uniquely designed parlor guitar. 9 1/2" width at upper bout, 13 1/2" width at lower bout. 3 3/4" depth at upper bout, 4 3/4" at lower bout. Typical of guitars hand made by John Walker, it has a very nice 'pop' at the attack of each note and great balance.
     This guitar would cost six or eight hundred dollars more if John Walker hadn't deemed it to be sold at a discount because he took it to shows for product display. It would be an excellent choice for anyone who loves beautiful looking guitars that also sound beautiful.

     New. Sunburst. 1 3/4" width at nut. Very nice Honduran Mahogany back, sides and neck. Adirondack Red Spruce top. Ebony fingerboard, bridge and peghead overlay. Small pearl dot inlays in fingerboard. Ivoroid bindings on top and back of body and along fingerboard. Nickel Waverly pre-war style open-back tuners with metal buttons. Bone nut and intonated saddle.
     The sunburst is very nice. John Walker has earned a solid reputation for his fine sunburst finish. The playability is very good and the sound is great!
     * This instrument is a new one that John Walker has kept in his shop as an "example" guitar to show to people coming to his shop. Today the price is a few hundred higher for one of these, so take advantage of a great one at "yesterday's" pricing.

     New. Mahogany back, sides and neck, with select Sitka Spruce top. Shape and size of guitar are similar to a "J-185" spec. 25.4" scale length. Rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Nickel Waverly tuners with ivoroid buttons. Body and fingerboard bound with single ivoroid binding. Small pearl dot inlays in fingerboard. Fingerboard is radiused similar to Gibson radius.
     The coloration of the guitar is very nice. The Mahogany has the perfect brown shade. Back of neck shows the shading John is getting known for, especially for the gradated "bee-sting" at bottom of back of peghead.
     This is a very fine sounding guitar - quick, sure response with great depth and balance and projection.
    

     New.

Nickel Waverly tuners with Ivoroid buttons. Ebony peghead overlay with JWalker logo inlaid in pearl. Ebony bridge and pins, firestripe pickguard.
     Huge depth and presence in the lows and highs. This guitar has a very nice tone. The bass is big and bouncy, and the highs are crystal clear.

     Very good tone with a lot of deep, growling resonance.

     New. Sunburst traditional slope-shoulder guitar. 1 3/4" width at nut. Highly select Mahogany back, sides and neck. Very nice Adirondack Red Spruce top. Ebony fingerboard, bridge and peghead overlay. Nickel Waverly pre-war style tuners with Ivoroid buttons. Small pearl dot inlays in fingerboard. Ivoroid bound body. Traditional fire-striped pickguard. Ivoroid end wedge.
     This is a fine guitar for beauty and for sound. Typical of John Walker guitars, the fit and finish are highest form of hand lutherie.

     Exc(-) Condition. Here we have the first ever guitar that John Walker put his name on. Sure... by the time this guitar was built, John Walker had built many great handmade Gibsons in the Custom Shop and guitars for Stephen Anderson, but this is the first that was named a "Walker".
     There are areas of stray pickmarks on the top, and a few dings as well, but nothing major at all. The back and sides are really clean. Neck is in great condition with no fret wear.
     Adirondack top with single tortoise-shell binding. Curly Maple back and sides have really great figure. The whole guitar body is finished with hand-rubbed shellac. Mahogany neck with blank Ebony radiused fretboard. Ebony peghead overlay with "JWalker" inlaid in Pearl. Gibson tuners with black buttons. Fire-stripe pickguard. Comes with original composite straight-thru saddle on the guitar, as well as a new Walrus Ivory saddle in the case.
     This is a really phenomenal sounding guitar. This is one from the personal collection of Greg Boyd, and we have been changing our minds about putting it up for months because the sound is so good. The tone is all there, great lows and highs from the first fret to the last.
     John Walker is one of those rare Luthiers who can use Maple to it's full potential. Many Maple guitars can sound quick, but also thin. Walker's Maple guitars let you hear the Maple as a "special treat", where you can "feel" the mids and lows bouncing deep off the back and the highs have a beautiful "pop" attack and clear, sweet tones.
     This guitar would cost over $5000 with the spectacular Maple and the Shellac finish...
     There is no serial number, because this guitar was made before SN 001.
     Set-up is great, action is great, no problems, no repairs.
     * I wish someone would remind me why I am selling this guitar... Oh yeah, i remember now... taxes, bills, more instruments to buy for the store, etc...
