1955 Fender Stratocaster

Call
Here’s a super clean and fully original 1955 Fender Stratocaster in Sunburst! This example was very well-kept, and the finish has a beautiful luster to it. For a one-piece ash body, the guitar has a very comfortable weight to it, and the grain itself is wonderfully framed by this Sunburst finish. This nicely figured neck stands out on this piece, and it has aged to a gorgeous golden shade. In...

This particular bass sounds exceptional, with such an intensely full boom with each note. Even unplugged, you can tell this instrument fully resonates with whatever is being played.

1965 Gibson Firebird III

Call
This 1965 Gibson Firebird III in its original Cardinal Red finish features a lefty, or “Non-Reverse” neck! Towards the end of 1965, Gibson was trying to use up their remaining parts from the Reverse Firebird model in preparation for the Non-Reverse line that year. There were a few leftover lefty neck blanks for Gibson to make into right-handed guitars with the quirk of having the...

1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard

Call
Campbell’s Soup Company, eat your heart out! We are honored to offer this incredible 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard in its original and nearly unfaded Cherry Sunburst finish. While some 1960 tops tend to be on the plainer side, this particular example shows some very subtle flame and nice mineral streaking, giving it an almost 3D effect when moving it in light. This beauty has everything one...

1959 Gretsch Double Anniversary Tenor (6118)

Call
How cool is this fully original 1959 Gretsch Double Anniversary Tenor in its Smoke Green finish?! We’re so glad to have this rare piece, as we’ve not seen another example quite like this one, with two original 4-pole Filtertron pickups and an original “Anniversary” plaque on the headstock. The finish itself is in excellent shape, with some very minor playwear, and some binding rot to the back...

1964 Epiphone Coronet

Call
This well-maintained 1964 Epiphone Coronet comes in its original Cherry finish! This Gibson-made Epiphone is built with the same high quality woods Gibson was using at the time, with a single slab of mahogany for the body, and a nice tight-grained piece for the neck. The “batwing” headstock has to be one of the coolest shapes of any Epiphone guitar of the time! The finish on the guitar is still...

1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard

1965 Gibson SG Special

Call
This 1965 Gibson SG Special in its original Cherry finish features a factory Ebony Block! The majority of Gibsons fitted with an ebony block left the factory in 1962, but we’ve seen factory-installed tailpieces later into the 1960s. This guitar was favored by its former owners; not only evidenced by the playwear throughout, but because it also features an engraved truss rod cover with what we...

1968 Gibson EBS-1250

Call
Here’s an incredibly rare, custom-ordered 1968 Gibson EBS-1250 in factory Black! Of all the double-necks Gibson offered, the EBS-1250 was the most scarce, with shipping totals barely over 20 from 1958 to 1968. The most notable EBS-1250 player is likely Elvis Presley, who famously used one in the 1966 film Spinout. This particular example was certainly played as evidenced by the light wear...

1969 Gibson EMS-1235 (Byrdland Appointments)

Call
This custom-ordered 1969 Gibson EMS-1235 looks stunning in its original Sunburst finish with factory Byrdland appointments! This guitar is referred to as a “Double Mandolin” in Gibson literature, but this particular example was ordered with an Octave neck and Byrdland scale guitar neck. This is surely the only one of its kind that we’re aware of from this era, and we’re certainly lucky to have...

1962 Gibson Les Paul/SG Custom

Call
Here’s an incredibly clean 1962 Gibson Les Paul/SG Custom in its original Polaris White finish! What makes this one even rarer? The factory installed ebony block tailpiece that so beautifully contrasts the white finish. The Polaris White finish itself has only very subtly yellowed, and there’s hardly any playwear to the paint besides a couple of marks. Despite these original “fretless wonder”...

1961 Gibson Les Paul/SG Custom

Call
This 1961 Gibson Les Paul/SG Custom looks drop-dead gorgeous in its original factory Black custom finish! It’s just insane how slick and beautiful this guitar looks, and it’s in excellent overall condition too.

1954 Fender Stratocaster

Call
What’s not to love about this road-worn 1954 Fender Stratocaster?! It’s so early, its serial number is located on the Tremolo cover plate. We’re lucky enough to have several of these early “Salesman Sample” Stratocasters, but this one has one of the best vibes. As we’ve mentioned in our blog, these Trem Cover serial numbers were the first 200 Stratocasters made. These examples were given to...

1964 Gibson Firebird V

Call
This entirely original and incredibly rare 1964 Gibson Firebird V in Pelham Blue/Inverness Green is mind-blowing, as it barely has a scratch on it! In addition to being super clean finish-wise, the guitar itself is a fantastic instrument, with an exceptionally comfortable neck, virtually unplayed frets, and a huge tone from the two mini-humbuckers. In our opinion and experience, the initial shade...

This 1953 Fender Esquire in its original Blond finish is another incredible example from Fender’s Golden Age of Blackguards! This Esquire has everything you’d want in a Blackguard, with a nicely aged and patina’d finish, a comfortable full neck with beautiful figuring, and original components. The neck has been played in for a super slick and broken-in feel, and the overall sustain is nothing...

1952 Fender “Nosquire”

Call
Here’s a super cool one! This completely original 1952 Fender “Nosquire” comes in its original Blond finish! Although we can’t be sure why, this guitar left the factory with a simple “Fender” spaghetti logo decal, rather than one bearing the Esquire model name. This could be due to a simple mistake or could have been possible if they had run out of Esquire logos at the time. Regardless of the...

1953 Fender Telecaster

Call
A personalized 1953 Fender Telecaster in Blond is always enough to grab our attention! This Blackguard had been fitted with a few personal touches from who we assume to be the original owner, Larry Lee! On the bass horn, you will find two spots where mailbox stickers with the initials “L L”  were affixed, and at one point the pickguard was decorated with paint. While we do not know for sure who...

1950 Fender Broadcaster

Call
If you always wanted a piece of Fender history, this beautiful 1950 Fender Broadcaster will scratch that itch!

1951 Fender Nocaster

Call
Check out this fully original, well-loved 1951 Fender Nocaster in its original Blond finish! In the Fall of 1950, Fender received a strongly worded telegram from Gretsch demanding they drop the name “Broadcaster” from their new solid-bodied guitar model since Gretsch was already using the “Broadkaster” name. To avoid wasting the decals already produced for the model, Fender simply...

1966 Gibson EMS-1235 Special

Call
This extremely rare 1966 Gibson EMS-1235 in Cherry with Gold Hardware is fully original! We’ve seen a bunch of original Gibson double necks with an assortment of neck combos, but this one has got to be one of the coolest! On one side is an eight-string mandolin neck, while on the other is a four-string tenor guitar neck. This unique guitar was custom-ordered to meet the original owner’s...

1969 Fender Telecaster

Call
At first glance, this might look like any other Rosewood Telecaster. However, this original 1969 example is actually a Fender prototype featuring an Ash body painted to look like Rosewood! As outlined in an accompanying letter written by Fender legend Bill Carson, there were a few issues with the initial production of the full Rosewood Telecaster. Due to finish issues, availability, and the heavy...

1965 Gibson Thunderbird II

Call
This original 1964 Gibson Thunderbird II in Sunburst once belonged to Cheap Trick bassist Tom Petersson, and it certainly feels like the caliber of bass that a rock star would use! The Thunderbird was Gibson’s first bass to utilize a 34” scale; a scale length popular with Fender basses. The neck-through design and strong bass pickup make this instrument sound incredibly rich and full-bodied, with...

1964 Gibson Firebird III

Call
Check out this completely original 1964 Gibson Firebird III in Sunburst! Gibson’s neck-through-body design is on full display with these Sunburst models, as the 7-piece laminate center is visible the whole way through. As a bonus, this example has some beautiful figuring in the mahogany! This particular guitar was kept well over its life, and even the metal pickup rings and mini-humbuckers still...

1965 Rickenbacker Rose Morris Model 1997

Call
This 1965 Rickenbacker Rose Morris 1997 in its bright FireGlo finish looks and sounds incredible! Rose-Morris was a massive UK-based instruments distributor throughout the 20th century. In the early 1960s, they struck a deal with California-based Rickenbacker to bring their instruments to England. Rose-Morris models most notably feature an “F” hole where all other Rickenbackers featured a “Cat’s...

1963 Fender Stratocaster

Call
This 1963 Fender Stratocaster in Burgundy Mist Metallic is truly a stunning guitar to look at, and it sounds and feels even better! Like all of the other Custom Color finishes, Burgundy Mist was used on several different model cars of the time, and remains one of the rarest to find on a Fender guitar. This particular example has the typical Factory Refinishing code stamped under the pickguard....

1956 Fender Deluxe

Call
’50s Fender amplifiers are among the gold standard for vintage American-made tone, and the Fender Deluxe is one of the most desirable models from this era. This 1956 example has been well-kept over its 60+ years, is still cranking out great tones, and has been serviced to make sure it will continue to sound great! The amp starts to break up with just a bit of volume, and the gain sounds so...

1957 Fender Princeton

Call
If you’re looking for vintage gain in a smaller package, this 1957 Fender Princeton is the one for you! This amp has been well maintained over its long life, with a new speaker, full capacitor replacement, and 3-prong cord conversion. Despite this, the sound of this amp is simply incredible, with channel 1 providing a gritty, over-the-top distortion while channel 2 has a slightly darker and...

1957 Gibson ES-225TD

Call
This 1957 Gibson ES-225TD comes in its factory original, custom ordered Walnut finish! Gibson did not formally offer this finish until 10 years later, making this so rare to see on a guitar this early. Contrary to the finish’s name, this is still a Maple body, just stained a dark brown shade that makes it look closer to walnut. Spec-wise, it features the model’s more desirable two-pickup...

1963 Fender Precision Bass

Call
With an original sparkle finish, this 1963 Fender Precision Bass in “Candy Apple Red Sparkle” is an incredible piece! As we’ve written about before, most of these original Sparkle finishes were outsourced to local automotive and furniture shops as Fender was unequipped to paint using such thick flakes. This particular bass is in fantastic condition, with a couple of chips to the body...
