SN 83588. Light as a potato chip, this 1943 Martin D-18 was built in the heart of WWII when steel was being prioritized for the war effort but Martin’s supply of tone woods was still second to none. At just 3.5 lbs.,...

This banner-era LG-2 is a shop favorite. Built in 1943 in Kalamazoo during the height of wartime shortages, it’s a great example of Gibson ingenuity—thanks in no small part to the “Kalamazoo Gals.” This one is an...
Description Up for sale is a 2008 Rickenbacker 660 in its original Jetglo finish. I’ve always liked this model and thought the Jetglo w/ gold guard and truss rod cover was a slick look. Features of this guitar include...
Natural, solid mahogany top, back and sides, with neck reset and refret. Pre 1938 Martins are in high demand. The Martin factory made their best guitars during the great depression. This has forward shifted, scalloped...
Cherry Red, heavily faded. Had a recent neck reset so it plays very well and you save $450 for the repair. These were a mainstay guitar in the 70’s as Gibson acoustics of the era had double X braces and it wasn’t...
Cherry Sunburst, these are rather rare with factory original pickups and they have a nice vibe. Has a two piece maple top over a mahogany body and unlike most Les Paul Studios has a see through finish so you can see the...
Silver Metal Flake, a very hard finish to do. Looks to be a Fender neck with a slab rosewood fretboard and C neck profile. Has a Bigsby tremolo too. The neck pickup is an SCN Noiseless Tele pickup, the bridge pickup is...
Sunburst with a replacement top of old flamed maple. It’s refinished of course but with original aniline dye as used in late 50’s Les Pauls. You can see it around the edges of the top. We first saw this guitar about 25...
Natural, who doesn’t love a triple O made in the original Martin factory? Has a Sitka Spruce top, Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard and has been freshly refretted (you’re welcome). Also sports a recent neck reset. This 000...
Midnight Blue, a rather hard to find 335 variant. Imagine if someone at Gibson played in a punk rock band and designed a 335. Who needs F holes? Still has a semi-hollow laminate maple body but black binding and black...
Natural, Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, sent through our shop for a neck set and all open cracks repaired. There are many cracks on the back. Let’s count them. Ok, done, there are 9 cracks on the back, now repaired....
Polished Pumpkin finish, with Fender style headstock. Solid spruce top, Grand Concert 000 size. Has a recent neck reset. 25.4” scale, 1 3/4” nut width on a big neck, bound “b” grade Brazilian Rosewood fretboard with...
Natural, this was played and played and has a repaired headstock, a rectangular patch by the strap button, a repaired seam crack and a repaired crack at the arm rest area. Oddly, after decades of gigs it has no strap...
Three Color Sunburst, double bound body. A nice light cool looking MIJ Telecaster with upgrades. They include Custom Shop Twisted Tele pickups, new tuners, new pots and a new bridge. The serial number was on the old...
Natural, refinished long ago. Has had a recent neck reset. These have become very sought after guitars. They are 14 3/4” wide, 25” scale and a single layer of binding on the top. Honestly we’re guessing the date on...
Sonic Blue, a well done refin, with the original green guard and pearl dots, L plate and original bridge. We had Lindy Fralin rewind the middle pickup to match the other two original pickups, which meter at 6.82k on the...
Black, maple neck and fretboard, with Fender Custom Shop Nocaster pickups installed. Cool old Teles are increasingly hard to find. This one is in original black with a cool detail. Under some paint chips you can see...
Sunburst, rosewood fretboard, refretted (you’re welcome), with a gorgeous ash body and rare rosewood board. Plays and sounds great with great sustain and remarkably good pickups. The body looks like a one piece but on...
Black, EX-. Look at this guitar. It has a vibe with the yellowed plastic and binding. This was an interesting era for Gibson as in 1976 Gibson started making solid body guitars in the new Nashville factory. Kalamazoo...
Sunburst, owned by Sheryl Crow and used as a stage guitar from 1999 through 2011. This is a Hank Williams Jr. model with Sheryl’s pickup system she used at the time with the jack and strap button separate. Sheryl Crow...
Natural, Blonde, single string tree era. A light fantastic sounding Tele with the original bridge pickup. However, the pots are changed and has a rout for a humbucker under the bridge pickup and the neck pickup area is...
It’s sculpture really. We’ve seen some ugly sculptures in galleries for three times what this costs. Made by Valco for Gretsch. Sculpted in a Deco shape with a Gumby headstock and easy to read racing stripe fretboard...
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,...
Sunburst, laminate spruce top and laminate maple back and sides. Big 17” body with a later Tele pickup (possibly MIJ). This is what Arthur Big Boy Crudup played. He wrote “That’s all right Mama” and “My Baby Left Me”...
