• 1948 Gibson L-5

    Guitar '48 L-5s with rosewood fingerboards are almost always considered less desirable than all the others with ebony. This could have been a special order but more likely what you might call a "transition" model, although they're all ebony before, and after '48. The serial number puts this guitar in very late '48 which makes sense since by '49 they'd switched back to ebony. In addition to the spectacularly clean condition, and the ebony 'board, it still retains the script logo, not the block logo which predominates after '47. Very comfortable neck profile with 1 3/4" nut and optimal neck angle, so it easily sets up with low action, or higher in minutes, and the sound is rather great, for real.

  • 1970 Martin D-18

    Guitar Immaculate, nearly flawless Martin D-18 from 1970. It's had one owner since new, was bought locally and played minimally by a family member of mine. Action sets up low / plays easy, and sounds like you'd expect for one this old, or actually even one a decade or so older. Fully original and ships with correct, original hard shell case. *More pics and details coming -

  • 1965 Fender Jazz Bass - rare Ash body and Padauk fingerboard

    Guitar '65 Fender Jazz Bass, body refinished natural, otherwise original except for later '60's saddles & upgraded strap buttons. There are a couple small additional holes near the original ones for the bridge cover plate, no idea why. Frets worn but entirely playable. Now for the fun part - the body is Ash and the fingerboard is Padauk - both original and rare as hell on this model, and the result is an unusually great sounding Jazz Bass. The neck pickup measures just under 7K and the bridge pickup measures 8K, so this is a very powerful sounding Jazz Bass too. Neck is very healthy, truss rod seems to have never been turned. Later Fender case.

  • 1960 Rickenbacker 450

    Guitar 1960 Combo 450, clean and stock other than the bridge cover missing as usual. This is one of the earliest 450s from 1960, the year they upgraded the electronics, copleting the changes to the model that started in 1958, and now included the cresting wave body, gold anodized conforming pickguard,and stamped metal head stock logo. To most Rick fans this was the best iteration of the 450. It sold well and this one has the most sought after, original black finish in great condition. The original frets are in excellent condition as is the fingerboard. Manufacturers code on the pots is 137 (CTS), and the date code is 6006, which is the 6th week of 1960. Includes original case in very fine condition.

  • ‘76 Gibson Byrdland original special order ebony

    Guitar '76 Gibson Byrdland with rare special order black finish - had to be a special order, there are so few out there, also check out the unusually beautiful inlays, in addition to the nearly perfect gold plating, and the rich color that the binding has turned over nearly 50 years of being so well taken care of. Ok, it's just cosmetics, but cosmetics are a big part of the allure. "Perhaps" more important is that this one plays beautifully and the only thing better sounding would be one 10 or 15 years older and much more expensive. Extremely fine original condition other than the pick guard missing, the original mounting bracket is in the case pocket, along with the original pickup covers that were swapped out for nicer ones (and could be reinstalled and re-plated if desired). Ships with crazy clean correct original case.

  • 1959 Fender Bassman

    Guitar ‘59 Fender 4x10 Bassman 5F6-A. Looks very good, sounds very great. Legendary guitar amp, notorious killer for harp, and NOTHING sounds better for bass at moderate volume. Changed capacitors & handle, AC cable upgraded to 3- prong. Transformers, speakers and pretty much everything else original and quite good sounding: the amp’s last owner made sure that anything not right, or not up to spec, was expertly taken care of, and it sure sounds that way.

  • ~1987 Rickenbacker 381-12
