My Guitars

	1925 Joseph Nettuno Grand Concert:  This instrument is most likely the product of the same shop that made the hand-built Galianos (some Galianos were factory Schmidt instruments, sold through the same shop).  "Galiano" was the house brand of a small shop in NYC, owned and operated by John D'Angelico's great uncle, Raphael Ciani and Antonio Cerrito.  It has a 26.5" scale length, ladder braced, and it is very loud and has a great tone!  I primarily use this guitar for bottleneck playing.
	1920's Stella Grand Concert:  This is an Oscar Schmidt made guitar with a 26.5" scale length.  The ebony Fretboard and ebony bridge are replacements.  This guitar is ladder braced, and it is also very loud and has a great tone!
	1985 Franklin Prairie State:  This is a great all around guitar.  Everything sounds good on this guitar.  I ordered this guitar direct from Nick after taking lessons from Stefan Grossman and playing his Franklin.
	1988 Franklin OM Cut-away:  This is truly an unbelievable guitar.  It explodes with sound and tone.  Nick made this guitar with Brazilian Rosewood that was cut at the Martin factory in 1964.  It also has a wide un-bound fingerboard (1.8"), Franklin's unique cut-away, and custom fretboard inlays.
