20.01.2022 WHAT'S NEW? TWO new model "CORT" guitars which are really excellent-(see photos). WHY? It's in the hand work and also in the materials The top/soundboard is made from book-matched ADIRONDACK SPRUCE. Why is this timber so special? Adirondack or Red Spruce as it's also called comes from the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York and the Appalachians. It is a slow growing wood and the number of tops that can be got from one tree is limited-hence its high price and demand fo...r high end guitars, mandolins etc. Used by many famous guitar maker's such as C.F.Martin (USA) pre-war 1940 D 18 dreadnoughts- & Gibson in their pre-war guitars, mandolins and arch-tops in what is called the 'Golden Era' of instrument building.. Today high end makers like Martin,Collins Santa Cruz etc use Adirondack in their speciality models. Santa Cruz's new 1934 D model had a price tag of US$18,500-00! WHAT MAKES THIS WOOD SO GOOD FOR SOUNDBOARDS? The answer- it is an extremely strong and stiff wood of all the spruce types, plus it has the highest cross-sectional strength. Many also feel that it is the superior wood for guitar tops and that some modern day guitars built with Adirondack are superior in tone to their pre-war counterparts. The result is a rich and clear sound with excellent sustain due to the stiffness in the top and tight cross grain. CORT MODEL L300V- $799-00. This is an 'OM' (Orchestral Model) size body acoustic. Similar in shape between a '000" and Grand Auditorium-smaller than a dreadnought. Features; Book-matched quarter sawn Adirondack Spruce. Solid Mahogany Back. Scalloped X-bracing. Grover Vintage -Butter Bean shaped- Tuners. Genuine Bone Nut & Saddle. Equipped with 'Fishman" Matrix under-saddle Pickup with internal preamp and sound-hole mounted rotary Volume & Tone Controls. Finished in a nitro antique natural gloss. Tortoiseshell pick-guard. The Sound-a full tone packed with vibrancy and sustain. CORT MODEL EARTH 300V- $799-00. As above but with Dreadnought body with a nitro Vintage Sunburst finish. Complete also with, as above, 'Fishman' Pick-up/Eq system. INVITATION to come and try these new CORT models out! For a limited period I am offering a SPECIAL PRICE of $639.00 for the OM model and $679-00 for the Dreadnought model. (Another new Cort acoustic with fitted Schertler (Suisse) sound-hole pickup arriving soon-that's another story!!) Andy MacFIE, MACFIE MUSIC. 173 Elizabeth Street, Hobart. Ph-62349987.

19.01.2022 As I've pre-empted in the following announcement, I am now making its official that MACFIE MUSIC IS CLOSING and I'm retiring after 36 years.It's taken a lot of mind racking and sleepless night to come to this decision. I wish to pass on my heartfelt thanks all my past and present customers, many who've become friends over the years, and wish you all the best for the future and in your music lives. I'll still dabble with repairs and maybe run a few agencies from home office. I...f I can help in the future send a message to my personal Facebook page.So grab yourself a bit of MacFie's stock-there will be Specials-until closing at Easter as ALL STOCK MUST BE SOLD. Also I will have shop fittings-guitar hangers/slatwall hangers, desks, filing cabinets,chairs etc and even a piano for sale.I hope to see many of you soon to thankyou personally. I'll miss my customers and day to day contacts, like earlier this week when a darling little girl came in to be fitted for her first violin-I'm going to miss that. I've had some wonderful years and times meeting Robert Godin of Godin/Seagull guitars fame, also Chris Martin of C.F.Martin guitars in USA, Bill May of Maton Guitars, Tevor James of Trevor James flutes in England and even had Billy Connelly in my store! I've also had the pleasure of selling well made and superb instruments. I'll also say here how lucky I've been having lovely staff working for me over the years-Glen Tweedie, John Bushby, Annie Parsell,James Dobell, Nigel Hope, Aaron Powell and of course my beautiful ladies, Emily and darling Crystal. Kind Regards, Andy MacFie See more

I've fitted it with a low- weight hybrid nylon, rope core set of strings. The inlay work is sensational. Price is $2,500-00 The second guitar is an early 'Maton' Coolibah Model #FT6, (serial #254) from circa 1953. This is one of the first models fitted with an adjustable truss-rod. It also plays.
