Extremely fine conditional and all original '66 Dan O' with original case. Plays very well also.

Custom PRS GG 4 string bass in excellent condition, only minor signs of wear, small chips, scuffs etc. Includes pro gig bag, more details and pics to come -

One of the very first guitars built at the new Bozeman Montana facility in 1991, the Southern Jumbo was a faithfully designed and executed reissue of the original 1942 model. The first small batch were "virtually hand-built by master luthier Ren Ferguson" - to quote the authors of the excellent Gibson's Fabulous Flat-Top Guitars, who by 1992 was joined by John Walker, another of Gibsons top builders. Just like the originals, they had a 24 3/4" scale, unbound fingerboard with twin parallelogram inlays, and tapered & scalloped top braces. Most notably, just like a small group from the 1st batch in 1942, a very small number were built with Rosewood back and sides, instead of mahogany. To most flat top aficionados, this combination of design, construction, and materials represents the pinnacle of Gibson flat top production from this period, just as it did in 1942; not only did it mark a sharp turn-around in Gibson flat top production at that point in time, more than any other model it led the way forward in Gibson's re-emergence and return to high quality and consistency. This is the 11th one built, out of a total probably numbering not much higher than that. She plays and sounds exceptional and is in overall extremely fine condition, both structurally and cosmetically.

Original & complete, this one owner Rick 365 OS is about as nice as it gets in all respects. Even has the original Rick-O-Sound Stereo / Mono splitter box. Strong pickups, strong color, and strong 9+ condition.

HOLD.

Just in - fifty years new.

Early Mosrite Celebrity - '66 - in amazing condition. All original - apparently including the pickguard and headstock ornament - and case. Plays unreal, etc.

1946 ES-125. First year / first variant with non-adjustable P-90, all mahogany body and trapezoid inlays. Amazing condition - how about, "near mint for it's age"? Just a few very small marks here and there. Original hard shell case in wonderful condition. Plays and sounds completely great, only changes are newer tuner buttons and 1 strap button added. It doesn't get any better than this for a first series 125.

Stock '73 LP Custom with cherry sunburst over mahogany neck and body, overall excellent condition other than appearance of the logo and inlay on headstock due to finish having turned darker than usual. Original small Fretless Wonder frets in exceptional condition, original case in average condition. Weight is just under 10 pounds.

Very close to new condition, 2001 '52 Reissue Tele with original case, certificate and it's light too.

Here's a pair of 'em, 2000 & 2010 D-35, both original and in exceptional condition with hard shell case.

Original 1969 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe in excellent plus condition with original hard shell case. First year of production with one piece body mahogany body and mahogany 3-piece neck. No work needed, set up & ready to go,

1974 Fender Jazz Bass, sunburst body, maple 4 bolt neck with rosewood fingerboard. Excellent condition, sound and playability, no work needed. Includes period correct hard shell case.

Still in new condition, recent issue Cliff Bordwell 6 string bass; killer custom made bass, plays unreal and sound amazing.

1957 Blonde ES-175, 1st year for PAFs,100% original and very close to new looking - the pics don't do it justice. Beautiful original correct case in exceptional condition too. Other than a couple small marks on the top of the headstock - see pics - the guitar basically looks new, with the added bonus of the lacquer barely yellowing, so the wood looks very fresh and very close to the way it did the day it did leave the factory, and the binding has barely yellowed at all, so there's no unsightly contrast as we usually see ( seriously - the yellowed binding always looks great on sunburst Gibsons, on very new looking blondes, not so much.) And oh - by the way - the neck and neck set are perfect on this one, as are the frets, it's one of those '50's Gibsons that set up so amazingly well. Zero wear to the fingerboard and close to none on the frets. In 40 years I've only ever seen one or two others as nice. Detailed pics coming -

Near mint condition and 100% original 1967 Fender Princeton Reverb Amp with original foot switch, cover and Jensen speaker. Sounds great - reverb is very smooth too.

I shouldn't really call this near mint, but it's way beyond excellent, and that's the nearest descriptor available on Gbase, so, how about "near mint for an amp for it's age". Yeah. That's better. Sounds just as it should too, kills, actually. *Original cover in excellent condition included.

The best Steinway pianos were made in the '20's, this one was made in 1924. I've had it for many years, to the best of my knowledge it's in excellent condition. Local pickup only, WILL TRADE FOR GUITARS WILL TRADE FOR GUITARS WILL TRADE FOR GUITARS WILL TRADE FOR GUITARS WILL TRADE FOR GUITARS.

Late model Rickenbacker 360-12 in brand new condition with original case.

Gorgeous River Blue Custom 24 with birds and 10 top - really more like an 11 top - made in the original factory, looks brand new.

Early - mid '30's Rickenbacher Ken Roberts model. This is the second electric spanish guitar. Or maybe not; there are several others known to exist, half a dozen anyway, so this then is one of the very small handful of these that were made, this quite possibly being the first of those, not long after the prototype in 1932. To be accurate, the brand name on the prototype was different, though it derives from the names of some of the same folks that became the Rickenbacher company, and it also wasn't as catchy a name; neither of which is nearly as important or interesting as the departure that these few guitars represent, from any previous concepts or attempts to electrify the guitar, and all that were to follow. To be fair, the significance of this guitar isn't nearly that of the prototype, which definitively marked a water shed moment in the direction and influence of the guitar on nearly all popular music forms. Then again, it is half the price..

Another outstanding J-45, this one's from 1964 and is in extremely fine condition, with a brilliant cherry sunburst finish that has even more red in it than appears in the pics. 1 11/16" nut width and upgraded from the original plastic adjustable bridge & saddle to the far superior wood bridge and traditional saddle, which has about 900% more contact with the bottom of the slot that it's seated in, which some of these shipped with originally. A GREAT sounding J-45 in close to near mint condition.

Superlative & scarce 1944 Banner J-45 in exceptionally fine condition, rare original maple body and neck with spruce top. Hands down the best J-45 I've had the pleasure of playing, no doubt owing to the maple. Rare for '44, this one's got a truss rod - that's never been turned. Hard to say which is cleaner, the guitar or it's original hard shell case. This one's got it all boys, as good as it gets for a J-45. The maple back, sides and neck are unusual for Gibson, at least on flat tops. It's really only a few of their best known, top of the line models, like the J-200 ( other than the first 100, which were rosewood ) & Nick Lucas ( other than the less desirable versions ), that used maple for those components. Yup, just those. No others. Oh yeah - except for all of the greatest Gibson archtops ever made, that is; the L-5, Super 400, Byrdland, Johnny Smith, Citation, & Trini Lopez ( kidding ). But wait - weren't the '20's F-5s made of the same materials, including nearly all of the Loars? Point is, some folks look down on the small number of original Banner J-45s that were maple, which must suck for them; for the same reasons and in the same ways as all of these other Gibson instruments that used these same materials, the maple J-45s are exceptional guitars. You'll rarely find an early J-45 in this condition ( sorry about the reflections ), on top of the sound and playability of this one.

Like new 50th anniversary Firebird V with original case, unsigned Warranty card. Very nice.

'87 / '61 reissue SG, excellent condition and Tim Shaw pickups. No issues, plays great, ships with hard shell case.

1982, so first year of production and also the time period when Tim Shaw pickups prevail. Black, too, and original case. These first reissues were Korina, just like the originals.

Two circa 1965 Hofner Beatle Basses, two different looks for some reason, hopefully one appeals to you.

2005 but still looking new, crazy figured maple!

As in two of them ( 2006 & 2007 ). It's plural man. Anyway, this seems to be the trend here lately; late model guitars that look like they never left the factory. Or something like that. New / unplayed condition, one with F holes, one without. It's a great look either way, no?

Ultra clean and all orig. Rick 325 John Lennon with case. *Also 2015 Rick 325, looks new.
