One of the nicest guitars I have take in a recent trade is this 1967 Telecaster. The Trader inner told me it is from 1967... but the guitar has all 1966 features. This one is light weight at seven pounds one ounce. It is in excellent all original condition except for a very comfortable re fret. The guitar feels light and the neck has more of a 1965 feel to it shape wise. The original case is...

This one would qualify as a rarity. I do see one every now and then but usually with the dark grill cloth. The 1 x 15 was more popular with the professional musicians who could actually afford one of these very expensive top of the line amplifiers. Eventually the compact 1 x 12 Showman model was phased out around 1964. This is a nice all original example with some normal wear but still attractive...

This is a bold one, it really has a lot of visual information happening. There is some finish checking but it seems real good beyond that. I have not seen many of these, you would think I could remember that. Also one available in Blue Burst.

When I bought this guitar about five or so years ago I leaned it against my desk and it greets me every morning when I arrive at my shop. It may not be a greeting as nice as a dog or puppy but I have found it cheery none the less. This is a very light weight V. The neck has a wider feel than most and the guitar has very little wear of any kind. You could use this for playing music or just to...

Here is a new twist on an old Jazz Bass, this one has a very straight neck. The neck is flat, just as the earth once was (look it up!) long ago. The bass is complete and original. There are no repairs or missing parts and you can scrimmage around on the fingerboard as much as you have the time for, it is a delight.

Since 1958 Gibson has made so many versions of this design. Many of them are great. I will offer the thought that this is the best version of the Flying V guitar. It is light weight. It stays in tune. It is attractive. This one is an early one. It is very complete and all original but has a repaired crack behind the nut, see picture. This is a very clean guitar with also its nice original purple...

Back in 1960 a 15 year old guitar player named Danny Gatton asked his 16 year old guitar playin buddy Jack Casady if he could fill in at a paying job on bass guitar for a few weeks. Jack had never played the bass. A few years and miles later Jack had the first Alembic bass. Find out what all the fuss is about with your very own ALEMBIC bass. This one is from 1981 and has the somewhat preferred 32...

This mid 1960s Gibson made Epiphone bass is still in nice condition with no issues. This is the same model bass Marshall Grant played on the Johnny Cash "Live at Folsom Prison" album so it must be good. This one is all original with the original soft case.

I had never seen or heard of this model until I ran across this bass. It seems to be an exceptionally rare model. I was able to find a picture of one that sold a few years ago that was a later model, also white. The EB 3 Custom model is an EB 3 model bass, but without the vari tone selector and it includes factory gold parts. Mine is original except the strap buttons and has a big headstock...

Great looking and sounding Texan with unusual dark sunburst and Gibson Country Western style pickguard. This one is circa 1967.At the moment I have 8 or 9 of these rascals here at the shop. FACT ...the 25 1/2 inch scale length of this model combined with the slope shoulder J 45 style body is an ideal combination, so this is the model guitar any sane picker should have at least six of to be...

Rare guitar in original unaltered condition. The finish and all parts are original and there is not much wear on this guitar of any kind. If you are a fan of this model (I am) it seems like many have been personalized in some way but this one still has the potential to be YOUR dream machine... to do as you desire.

This amp has is 100 percent original. The white Victoria amp cover is also original and I have only ever seen a picture of a cover like this one, it is very rare. This Deluxe Reverb is a very early Fender Electric instruments model from early 1964. No service or modifications have been done and the amp is working.

Painted brown, see and be seen.

Part one of a series... A few years ago I spotted this guitar at a Dallas guitar show and was rather put off by the appearance and continued my brisk stroll, as one would. Fast forward to later, my friend Will at Thunder Road guitars proudly displayed this travesty at his guitar show booth as I continued in my ignorant, ignoring ways. When even later I casually did pick up the guitar in a quiet...

This is a pretty clean example with still much color. There is part of a vibrola tailpiece attached to this guitar that was either added later or at initially Gibson. There are no cracks or breaks or major damage and the guitar is easy to play... if you have had lessons or been trying for years like I have.

This may have been the first dual speaker guitar amplifier ever offered to the public. This is an important breakthrough design and it set the standard for the future. This amp has the original tweed. It also has the original transformers. The speakers and grill cloth are not original. All the tube sockets are original but the pre amp tube on the end has an adaptor for a more modern sounding 9...

You have something in your eye. It is a Fender Jaguar. This one was refinished by Tony at Schroom Custom Guitar works here in the Bay Area. The parts are original except the pickguard. I think the arm may be original with a replaced tip. The neck and body are both refinished. This is an early model with clay dot inlays.

Nice looking amp that has been serviced by Sal Trentino about 20 years ago. This amp is original except on speaker from late 1964 that say bandmaster on the magnet, it is the same model speaker as the original one.

Jimmy Edmonds is a Virginia based luthier who builds a limited amount of guitars every year, perhaps 30. This guitar is modeled after and has the specifications and features of a circa 1936 D 18, that is a Martin model guitar. This one is still in excellent condition. His guitars are known by some in the acoustic guitar fan base and can be researched on ine if that is your kind of thing. Or you...

This model with the Island Koa top was made in a limited amount and this one is still in nearly unused condition, including the original hang tags and case. The guitar has a KOA wood top. The weight on a digital scale is 7 pounds 14 ounces. More information is available, please call or email.

Circa 1930s.This one is kind of unusual . The guitar has dual controls.It is also painted gray.The serial number is B366.The badge is missing from the headstock.The original case is included and also this is being sold as a set with the companion Rickenbacker amp, as shown.

Sometimes when I see a guitar for sale I get pretty excited about the guitar and then I buy it. This is one. This is a sort of rare very early example of the new improved Duosonic model, one of the first to have the longer 24 inch scale length. The neck is an "A" neck with a 24 inch scale, the later Duosonics were available with a "B" width neck. The Duosonic II and Musicmaster II were introduced...

Since I have such passion for vintage Danelectros, it is no surprise that I ended up with this grand prize. Copperburst is the color of choice, it really says "I am a Danelectro person" and this one is a really nice example.

When you purchase this early 1953 Esquire you get a little more black and a little more guard. These Black-guard Esquires do really have that great look. This guitar weighs seven pounds, one ounce. It feels light. The pickup reads at 6.22. The guitar has had an expert refret. It is original otherwise including the original poodle shaped case, still in excellent condition.

This one has a big sound, big tone and big dimensions. The recent owner of this Bassman amplifier really likes 12 inch speakers and I can relate to that. This amp has a custom made top quality 4 x 12 cabinet with four vintage Jensen C 12N speakers. The transformers are original.

All original example with a good size neck, showing some finish wear.

This one is still in nice original condition. One could have the theory that this model is the perfect size and shape for most outings… Fender amps with two 12 inch speakers are what I like the best every time. The pro reverb with 45 watts of rated power… is a good choice. This one has some minor wear but no modifications or major damage.

This just came out of an estate and is still dusty but has been tested and is working. The transformers date 1966 and the tube chart is stamped March of 1967. The amp has some wear but is still in decent condition over all. Its circuit looks very original as well. We are very experienced shipping Fender amps.

Nash guitars started in 2003 according to their website. I think this is perhaps an early example of their work but I can not be sure. This guitar has features and the look of an early Stratocaster from 1955 or 1956. The paint color and neck and body dimensions seem to be influenced by the Fender Stratocasters of that time period. The original owner has had this a long time but does not remember...

Fine highest quality recent 6120 Model. The dice knobs and pick guard are included but not on the guitar at the moment. The guitar has been expertly re fretted and is still in nice condition.
