1953 Martin D-28 “Mystery Top” Brazilian Rosewood In 1953 Martin made some D-28’s not using the Sitka that was standard at the time, which people describe as “Mystery Top” guitars. This is one of those guitars. This is play ready..all the usually needed work has been done to this one by Dave Strunk. Includes old Martin case with decals from the different locations...

Super Clean Near Mint example from original owner. These are classic 14 watt amps, with the wrap around grill - none cooler! This is the earlier example, with the control knobs on the back, arranged vertically. To my ear, this model is little more solid sounding than some of the other Valco made amps, which almost break up too much. Vintage Guitar has a great article on it's cousin, the 6169...

This is a wonderful 1956 D-28 with a recent neck reset, that is ready to be played. The beautiful straight grained Brazilian Rosewood on the back and sides is a rarity, and the type you don’t find on new guitars. I purchased this D-28 from the original owner. He sent it back to Martin in 1978 for a top replacement, after the top cracked. The return to Martin has been verified with...

Perfect hardware donor for that $2,000 1955 Stratocaster or Telecaster case that needs a handle or other hardware, or even better for your 1955 Fender Champ Lapsteel, which is what this came from. No mold or mildew smells. Much better than the cardboard cases these usually came with. $30 Shipping, No Sales Tax outside of Idaho. Interior dimensions roughly 31" x 8" x 2 1/2 deep on the bottom...

No Sales Tax if sold out of State...1970’s to early 1980s Hondo II HDLP-2W in a cool artic white type color…kind of a Randy Rhodes knockoff Les Paul Custom (except his had a natural top). Has the original Dimarzio Pickups that these came with. This includes a Gibson Les Paul red lined case some time in the 70’s era. The guitar seems to be all original with the exception of some of the pots, and...

This is a 1964 Fender Reverb Tank Unit in Brown Tolex that has been painted black. Back in the 1960’s, when the Black Tolex amps came out, musicians wanted to stay current, and some painted their amp tolex from brown to black. This has all Pre-CBS features. As hard as the coolest of all Reverb Tanks, the rough white tolex with Oxblood grill cloth, are to find….I thought this would be a perfect...

This was purchased from the original owner’s family in Southern Colorado… electronics are all original other than replaced three prong power cord and one replaced capacitor to the left of the filter caps. This one was played, and it sounds fantastic. No sales tax if outside of Idaho. Harvard’s are very desirable Fender amps. They have a very unique sonic tone among Fender amps. As every...

Beautiful nicely figured example of a vintage Martin 0-18K in great shape. Ebony fretboard, bar frets, 1 7/8” at the nut. This is not a conversion from a Hawaiian setup to standard Spanish like many of these on the market. This guitar came stock with a round neck contoured for acoustic playing, and is not a Hawaiian conversion. Beautiful original brass tuners. Original bridge with crack...

Brown Tolex Amps are some of the best Fender made, this rare 6G11 Vibrolux is no exception. These are rare under the radar amps, because they are seldom seen for sale. The louder you play this, the better it sounds. Original foot-switch included. 3 prong cord and cap maintenance performed years ago by the famed "Brown Soun" in California, with a bias trim pot added, this one is ready to play....

Beautiful Brazilian Rosewood back and sides that rivals the best Martin 0-45 from the 1920’s, and a body that measures almost exactly the same as a 1930's L-00. This is a perfect example for an L-00 conversion, or a fine guitar on it's own worthy of restoration. Brazilian Rosewood has straight grain with the rich chocolate color, great for an x braced conversion, a new build, or restoration....

Probably the cleanest Guild Aristocrat in existence. Virtually un-played condition. Original Guild Hang Tag, along with retail guitar store inventory “tag” still on the guitar from 1960. You will not find a cleaner M-75 anywhere. A true museum piece, one of, collector piece gem. Many sellers loosely use the term "mint", which should mean "as it left the factory" ...this is as close to that as...
