This is a re issue style guitar from Gibson with early style nickel parts. The original tailpiece is on the guitar but there are holes from a stop tailpiece that has been Removed. Other than that, this guitar is in excellent condition and has a nice vintage style.

Attractive double bound guitar bound for your front door. This one has had a lot of modifications to make it look older and act newer. The original pickups, bridge and tailpiece are included but have been replaced. The pickups on the guitar are TV Jones powertron models. The plastic parts are throwback late 1950s style and the guitar does have a vintage look.

Super clean all original example with the original crisp and complete hang tag. The tip is broken off the pick guard but is included.The case is nice but missing the handle. This guitar has hardly been used and is delightful.

This one is super clean and near mint with the original paperwork. The amp is all original with no modifications. There is a small stain on the grill cloth.

The sunburst color of this guitar is very subtle. This ad is very subtle. The condition of this is crack free but there is binding missing at the end of the fingerboard. The guitar sounds great like a normal Hummingbird sound.

Clean all original Fender Electric Instruments model. I think this has had some service work done. There is a small snag in the grill.

If you are near your computer you can find testimonials online (not by me) regarding the guitars of Texas luthier Jamie Kinscherff. This one is my first rodeo and the guitar is really impressive in every way. This is a well made great sounding twelve string. The guitar was ordered by the original owner who also had the top refinished professionally later to natural, it was sunburst. This one is...

Creston guitars is a one man made to order custom builder located in Burlington VT. His guitars are artful and of the highest quality not unlike the one being offered here. The finish on this is three tone sunburst over gold metal flake, this looks really good. The pickiups on this guitar are Gemini gold foil pickups also made here in the USA. This is an exciting one of a kind instrument.

Creston guitars is a one man made to order custom guitar builder located in Burlington VT. This Telecaster style guitar was commissioned by a fellow with very specific and refined design ideas. The results are in and they are breathtaking! The pickups are Jason Lollar pickups with dual volume controls guide is an exceptional instrument.

Original rare custom color Blond over ash body pre cbs Jazz Bass, this one has a very figured all the way up maple neck. The neck has been refretted with larger frets, this has been to many gigs, it seems. There are two extra screw holes from a removed thumb rest. The original but worn hard case is included..

Circa 1934 Gibson L 00, bound on top, sunburst, neck joins body at 14th fret. This one I would describe as intact, free of major repairs or damage just having normal wear. The neck has been re set and the guitar is refretted. The tuners are on gold metal plates so seem like period correct replacements to me, they are old. There are no larger or extra tuner related holes I can see.

In 2014 Fender built a scant 1954 of these “Limited Edition” guitars. But… this is a great product. Of all the recent non vintage Fender guitars this is a very well made and well designed instrument for the guitarists that have an appreciation for vintage guitars. The case is even a fine replica of the 1954 center pocket tweed case.

This guitar just came in a trade. More information may be added soon. The guitar has some patina to the original finish, it has yellowed, in a nice way. The neck was just re set here in town by Alan Pearlman. I think the nut was also replaced. The last owner thinks the bridge plate is original, I will try to confirm this. There are no top cracks or repairs, I think there is one on the back.

This is a very early one with transformers dated 1967. The amp is in excellent original condition and was built for the overseas market with a rare factory adjustable voltage feature on the back. A more recent footswitch is included.

This is a rather unique looking guitar, custom ordered from the factory circa 1993 with a 1 3/4 nut width. The Academy is a semi hollow (or semi solid… you decide) model not unlike a Gibson ES 335. The original owner switched the original Schaller pickups and installed Seymour Duncan pickups. The original Schaller pickups, bridge and tailpiece have also been replaced and are included. The maple...

Heritage guitars are top quality instruments built in Kalamazoo in the original Gibson factory. Most are Gibson influenced designs, this one is a Les Paul style instrument. This one left the factory with no pick guard or holes for one. The currently installed pickups are Seymour Duncan, one is missing the cover. Includes original case.

Light weight guitar by 1978 standards that weighs 7 pounds 11 ounces. This is a fun one. The saddles have been changed to brass saddles and I also would say the bridge pickup has been changed. This guitar is comfortable and has some playing wear on the back.

This is a sharp guitar. If you reading this you may have some idea that these are rare but too many are in poor or modified condition. This one is still pretty good. It has the original case too. The Beach Boys backstage pass on the case raises some fun questions. I never have seen those guys with a V… but I still like their music. This V has never been broken. There is a pickguard repair around...

Nice looking amp with a recent cap job. This one has the original transformers and a later Oxford speaker installed. There are two small plugged holes in the back of the chassis and a remaining XLR plug also in the back. Every thing works good and looks good here with this one.

Small great sounding guitar made from an interesting material Taylor guitars calls Urban Ash. The guitar has a factory installed Taylor pickup with the low profile controls on the upper bout. Included is the original heavy duty gig bag.

Early 1975 model. The transfromers are from mid to late 1974 and the speaker is from the 5th week of 1975. The current owner of this was informed that this is the original speaker and it is the correct speaker for this amp. The transformers are a few months older. The amp works perfect and sounds great. I would have to say that about any Deluxe Reverb ,this model never lets us down and the size...

All original custom color Jazzmaster, and this one is a slab board from 1962 with a matching headstock. All the finish and parts are original. This one was painted White over sunburst at Fender before it left the factory in 1962. I have seen some Black and Dakota Red guitars over sunburst but not many White over sunburst. These white 1962-1963 Fender guitars are usually sent out with no clear...

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...

I guess I have to say left handed even though it is obvious. This is a rare left handed model, one of the many rare ones. This one has the four bolt neck with the rosewood fingerboard. This model switched to three bolt neck plate around mid decade. The finish is original but has some wear on the front so it looks a little dull. Or perhaps it needs cleaning. This bass is original except it does...

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.

The bass is very complete and original. The body is refinished red. It is darker than Candy Apple Red but in the same realm. The slab board rosewood neck is in excellent condition showing very little wear of any kind. I think it is not refinished but there is somewhat an orange peel look on the headstock. The neck is wide and flat very typical for this time period. The neck date is none.

This one has a very wide neck, wide at the nut. It feels great. There is overspray on the back of the neck from about the 3rd fret up to the headstock. It can be seen in the pictures. I think it is a well done repair but damage is hard to see. When I got this one, it had different tuners. I have installed the correct tuners, some screw holes can be seen, some not. Abe Lincoln was born in a log...

Later 1962 model with a refinished body, the neck is not refinished. The arm and the case are not original and this one is original otherwise. The neck shape seems medium, not small. The pick guard has a Dick Dale autograph on it. Dick Dale was a big fan.

I think I could look at this guitar all day. That might happen anyway. This is a stock not modified or damaged all original example. I think this color is rare too. The headstock shape is still the 1970s version, not blunt

So much has been said or written about these gold pick guard basses. I need not to say much. This bass is all original with a very straight neck. The only thing missing is the original case. There is some normal wear. Non cheese doodle model.
