There are a lot of vintage and rare guitars being sold at The Fellowship of Acoustics, but we also have an ample supply of solid, standard models. As 2024 draws to a close, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at which standard models were the most popular this year. Mico and Milo take you through the top 5 and let you hear why these guitars are so popular and sold often.

This special edition of the most popular GS Mini is one of the limited edition models by Taylor and features updated specifications. Compared to the regular model, this anniversary edition has a torrefied Sitka spruce top with natural finish.

Deering Goodtime Banjo OB 5
The Goodtime Banjo, the entry-level model of the Goodtime, but with a high standard of quality. Light weight and fine playability are the main ingredients for this Goodtime banjo.
Eastman E1OM Orchestra Model
This E1 OM model is a perfect rendition of the classic Orchestra Model with a Sitka Spruce top and Sapele body. This guitar distinguishes itself from other guitars in this segment by using only full-mass woods. This adds to the sound and will also make the guitar sound nicer the longer you have her. To finish it off, the guitar also makes use of Nitrocellulose lacquer, this allows the wood to resonate freely.
