September all brings about the sighs that mark the end of summer. One yearly ritual involves new beginnings. A lovely short movie, "The Heart of a Teacher" by Paula J. Fox, celebrates all of the teachers who shine light on the path. Many thanks...

New Song, Old Guitar
Feast your eyes upon a very special instrument - a rare, vintage walnut and spruce Earthwood Acoustic Jumbo Guitar, certified Serial Number #816. This is the guitar that started my songwriting in earnest. Made by Ernie Ball (yes, the string guy) in the late 60s/early 70s,I bought it in 1972 in Saratoga Springs, NY, from the guy who worked in the music store because it was the first "steel string" guitar that didn't hurt my fingers to play. The action is low, the neck is narrow and it is incredibly playable. It’s quite beautiful and in great condition. It has great stage presence...and lots of experience.
For me, "it’s time for a new song"…and I’ve decided to sell it. Why? Because I don't play it anymore and it deserves to be played. Of course, I still play my Taylor 514ce and love it up one side and down the other! It's the guitar that suits me now...and it's time for Earthwood to be loved in a new musical family.
I'm writing this today with the ardent hope that the Earthwood's next owner is among my readers...
Here's a bit about the pedigree of this fine instrument from an article about Ernie Ball's guitars:
"In 1972, after tireless work designing and building prototypes, Earthwood guitars and basses were introduced. The Earthwood name reflected Ernie’s emphasis on qualities that were natural, and it was also applied to a new line of strings that featured a brighter, more powerful 80/20 metal alloy. Earthwood strings were an immediate success, and generated enough revenue to support the unprofitable instruments.
"From the beginning, Earthwood was plagued with production and personnel problems. Ernie laments: “I didn’t want to spend my life with this hassle, so on a Sunday in 1974, I had the locks changed and shut down the operation.” A few years later, Dan Norton, a friend and employee, convinced EB to reopen the Earthwood shop. The installed a skeleton crew that turned out around found instruments a day. Ultimately about 2,000 Earthwood basses, guitars, mandolins, and baby guitars were built. The instruments are now collector’s items, sound after for their clear, rich tone and fine craftsmanship. Production ended in 1985, to allow the company’s talent to focus their efforts in a new direction."
If this Earthwood guitar is calling to you, contact me through this blog. I'll be so happy to hear from you!
