Mocha Brown on alder body with its original finish, capturing the classic vibe of the ‘70s. The neck is a standout—round and substantial, but perfectly balanced, like the"just-right" fit *(that Goldilocks likes). It has a comfortable feel that suits any playing style. Equipped with Seth Lover-designed Wide Range humbuckers, this Telecaster delivers a distinctive Fender tone—clear, crisp, and...

Sinister Red—the latest evolution in Fender’s American Ultra series. This Telecaster boasts premium features, starting with a select alder body and a sleek contoured back for enhanced comfort. The quartersawn maple neck with a Modern "D" profile offers a smooth, fast feel, complemented by a 10”-14” compound radius fretboard with Ultra rolled edges and medium jumbo frets for easy...

1x12” combo in brown, wheat grille with gold chevron badge, attractive two-tone brown and cream control panel, 18 watts from a pair of 6V6s, all-tube including the rectifier, Oxford speaker, two channels with individual volume controls but a master tone, and Magnatone’s famous pitch-shifting vibrato. Reasonably clean and appears to be quite original - covering, grille cloth, Schumacher...

Ebony, maple top on mahogany body, bound ebony fretboard with trapezoid inlays (an unusual but attractive combination), "Pro" truss rod cover, dual soapbar P-90 pickups speed knobs, metal-button keystone tuners, has a newer bridge, some buckle rash but in generally fine shape, no breaks, a late '70s Norlin Les Paul so a little chunky but manageable. An uncommon model, plays and sounds great, and...

1×12” combo in a hardwood cabinet that appears to be padauk, and sporting the iconic Boogie wicker grille. This appears to have been factory-upgraded with a loop mod. We initially thought it was a Mark II-C+ conversion but this still has the RP-9A preamp board. Otherwise this is a pretty clean early example of a no-EQ Simul-Class Mark II, with a pair of 6L6s running in class AB and a pair of...

The MF mandolin is a mandolin that dreams are made of. Fully carved Adirondack Spruce top and choice Eastern Flamed Maple body. These have that rich woody tone that only a F can give you. Braced with tone bars, dovetail neck joint and compound radius ebony board. 13 7/8” scale. We upgraded this with a beautiful gloss top and ivoroid binding. It of course sleeps at night in a deluxe hard case if...

Natural, solid Honduran Mahogany top back and sides. These are getting hip as the last of the pre ’38 Martins that are affordable. The 17’s typically have a gloss finish that the later 15 series did not. It has all the features Martin lovers want. Like a 1 3/4” nut, scalloped top bracing and a chunky neck with a V profile. Countless other makers have copied these features and will likely...

There is just something about the directness of the 14 fret 00. When you have Adi over mahogany, even more so. Ebony board and bridge, modified V neck, scalloped X bracing, 24.9" scale, 1.75" nut width, bone nut and saddle, sunburst finish. Just a great little guitar, and amazingly well-appointed for the price. Comes with a new hardshell case.

Natural, rebuilt sides. What happens when Grandpa sits on your precious 000-18? Well first you bring the old guy back into the retirement home with no dessert. Then you call someone like Willie’s Guitars to fix it. We originally were fixing this for the customer. But, after regluing the broken sides became impossible, the customer sold it to us. Honestly, it’s been in the shop so long we...

With original alnico 8” speaker (reconed). First off, we just serviced it (new 6V6 tube included) for $124. Sounds great. More clean headroom than tweed Champs yet great growl when timed. All stock too. Light, durable, and something you’d use every day.

Natural, this looks amazing and is a great-sounding used Collings with a warm midrange and clear top end. Other features include 24 7/8” scale, Sitka Spruce, Walnut back and sides, ebony fingerboard with gold MOP dot inlays, 1 3/4” nut width, 2 5/16” string spacing, traditional package features including: ultra thin nitro lacquer finish, traditional scalloped pre-war X top bracing with no tongue...

1x12” combo in black tolex, 22 watts from a pair of 6V6s, all-tube preamp, two footswitchable channels - “vintage” and “burn”, terrific tube-driven long-spring reverb, and an excellent 12” Eminence Lightning Bolt speaker. Like a Deluxe Reverb in form factor, power, and clean tones, but with a very flexible master volume channel that goes from mild overdrive to heavy crunch. Portable and...

Latte Burst, nice flame top, light at 8.8 pounds, 50's neck profile, bound rosewood fretboard with trapezoid inlays, stock Burstbucker Pro humbucking pickups, in good shape with just a couple of small scratches on the back, it came from the factory without a pickguard but there is one included in the original hard case.

Cherry Sunburst, lightly faded, EX++, comes with the COA and all tags and it's nice and light at 8.6 pounds. As you might know, the R0 has a slimmer neck than the R9 or R8 models.. But this one feels medium big and has a nice flamey maple top with nice curl. It's a perfect find if you’re lucky enough to get a real vintage burst. There are some light scratches on the back but is cleaner than most...

Offset-contour alder body with nitrocellulose lacquer paint-over-paint finish, Fiesta Red over 2-Tone Burst, medium aging, good weight at 8.4 pounds overall, 4-ply tortoise guard that really pops with the body color, C-profile maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, 1 5/8" nut width, 10" radius, 25.5" scale length, 6105 frets, clays dots, Lollar Special JM pickups, and tremolo bridge.

In great shape, sounds...

Clean and straight, cool early ‘60s cosmetics with the blonde tolex, wheat grille and brown panel and knobs but a raised logo. All-tube standalone spring reverb, one 7025, one 12AX7, and a 6V6 (unlike the hard-to-find 6K6 in the originals.) Single input and output, controls for dwell, mixer, and tone, model 6G15 per the tube chart. Looks and sounds great, these add a hard-to-describe but...

Ivory, 23” scale, unbound Brazilian rosewood fretboard with dot inlays, single hilo tron pickup, single volume and tone control, sounds great, missing pickguard, lots of finish checking top and back, great couch guitar, quite resonant unplugged, cool vintage Gretsch, comes with a non-original Gibson soft shell case.

Gun Metal Blue on alder body, great looking and hard to find finish, Is original except for newer pots and Duncan Antiquity pickups. Rosewood fretboard with medium jumbo frets, C neck profile, three ply pickguard, some nicks on back and pick scratches on and around the guard, very nice early American Standard Tele.

Sunburst, poorly refinished. Solid spruce top on maple body, 16” wide, 24 3/4” scale, single bound body. Late 40’s style script logo with tapered headstock. Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with crown inlays. The frets are worn but playable. The tone is loud with great projection. We decided not to replace the frets or refinish the body but sell it as is. Enjoy it for a few years before you...

Candy Apple Red, EX-, can’t see any dings or scratches anywhere. It’s very clean for a 22 year old Strat. Rosewood fretboard with abalone pearl dot inlays, two Noiseless Strat pickups, one humbucker in bridge position, LSR nut, locking tuners. The humbucker is perfect for someone wanting a bit more warmth. Comes with an upgraded black tweed hard case.

Head only. Late “blackface” 50-watt tube amplifier, sounds great for bass but is most famous as an aggressive but articulate guitar amp. AB165 per the tube chart, solid-state rectifier, a pair of 6L6 output tubes, two channels (“bass instrument” and “normal”) with identical controls, four inputs, bright switches for each channel. All-original save for upgraded three-prong mains cable and some...

This is a really good sounding nylon string guitar, very warm and resonant after years of faithful service, comes...

Natural,VG+, It seems so long ago that Martin commemorated the 100th Anniversary of the Dreadnaught guitar. The original was then a colossal sized guitar labeled Ditson. We remember seeing that very first Martin Ditson here at Willie’s. It is now in the Martin Museum. H for herringbone trim, most of the time that means scalloped braces. Yes, this has those thinner scalloped braces for more rumble...

Wine Red, factory nickel hardware. Very clean and all-original, including the Tim Shaw humbuckers and the third-generation brown-lined Protector case. Interesting late Norlin production - sandwich body went away in the late ‘70s but the three-piece maple neck was still being used in the early ‘80s, and the “Made in USA” stamp and volute are still present, although the volute is relatively small...

Natural, Sitka Spruce top, mahogany back and sides, rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, 1 9/16” nut width. Just out of the shop with a fresh neck reset. Has one repaired top crack and finish checking all over. Has that famous warm small bodied Gibson tone that works so well with singers. Comes with a non-original hard case.
