1957 Gibson J-50 ADJ

$7,999.99
No sales tax for customers outside California. This guitar is pretty amazingly special - the cleanest 50s Gibson acoustic I've ever seen, a 1957 J-50 ADJ. The guitar came to us from the grandson of the original owner.  It was very well kept for certain.  The original shape is in remarkably excellent shape, showing one area where some water got to it at some point.  The guitar must have been...

2022 Gibson ES-335 Murphy Lab 1961 Reissue Ultra Light Aged

$4,595
No sales tax for customers outside California. This is a killer ES-335!  It weighs just 7 pounds, 9.5 ounces too. The neck is on the slimmer side, measuring .82" thick at the first fret, and it has a 1 11/16" wide nut.  It plays perfectly, and the ultra light aging treatment is just right.  We checked the truss rod to make sure there is room for future neck relief adjustments. The guitar...

1977 Fender Jazz Bass Pickup with Cover and Screws

$239.99
No sales tax for customers outside California.   This pickup arrived here in a heavily altered Jazz bass, so I separated it out, knowing that someone would need it to get their bass right.  It worked perfectly in the bass. The cover is original, as are the mounting screws.  The bass had a P bass pickup in the neck position, so I can't say if this was originally a bridge or neck...

1975 Fender Precision Bass Neck

$1,400
No sales tax for customers outside California.   This P Bass neck came to us on an aftermarket body with some changed parts, so I had to separate it from the rest of the instrument so it could be better used on another instrument. the wood shows some beautiful birdseye grain. The bass played really well, it just had the heaviest aftermarket body with routes and changes.   The truss...

1970 Fender Mandocaster Electric Mandolin Near Mint

$2,359.99
No sales tax for customers outside California. This Fender Mandocaster is in immaculately clean cosmetic condition.  It clearly was used very little. The serial numbers on these instruments don't mirror any others used by Fender, so there is no way to accurately date if from the serial.  So, going by features is the way to go.  Based on the logo, this item is from 1970 or later.  The case...

1968 Jensen 15" speaker P15LL reconed 8 ohm, not 16

$199.99
No sales tax for customers outside California. This speaker came to us in a cabinet that included this and a 10" speaker, which was a really cool combo that combined the richness of this 15 and the presence of the 10". This speaker was reconed at some point before it arrived here.  An 8 ohm cone kit was used - the speaker was originally a 16 ohm unit. Measured Ohms: 9.2 Speaker Code:...

2014 Nash S63

$1,800
No sales tax for customers outside California. This is a particularly good Nash Strat.  Others I've played felt a bit stiff, and they were heavier.  This one is a reasonable 8 pounds with good feel. It's a great looking guitar too, with more realistic relic wear than others I've had.   The guitar is all original with a nice set of Lollar pickups.  There are no issues or repairs.  The...

The original baffle holds one 12" and one 15" speaker.  It was loaded with a couple alnico speakers when it cane in, and it sounded really cool.  I like the size too - big enough to hold two killer speakers but not too enormous to tote...

1967 Fender Bandmaster AB763

$859.99
No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California. This Fender Bandmaster head came in in need of a tune up.  The original transformers and signal caps are there, making it a great base to start from.

2014 Gibson 1960s J-45 ADJ Custom Shop

$2,095
No sales tax for customers outside California. This Gibson J-45 ADJ is a 1960's reissue from the Custom Shop.  It just came in and got through our system quickly, and I think it is probably going to move out just as fast. The guitar plays perfectly with killer action.  The nut is 1 3/4" wide, which caught us off guard.  We triple checked to make sure, because the standard spec for Gibson...

1951 Harmony H50 Archtop

$1,195
No sales tax for customers outside California. This Harmony H50 walked in with a friend the other day and we were smitten with the coolness.  There is just the right amount of wear, giving this piece some real character. The guitar has had a refret and a neck reset, but otherwise appears to be very original.  The cutout in the pickguard around the pickup looks altered.  It just looks a little...

1969 Kay KH-90T "Wildwood"

$659.99
No sales tax for customers outside California. This Kay KH-90T is a variant that mimics Fender's Wildwood guitars and directly resembles with Teisco's EP-90T. Funky looks and cool sliding faders for controls in place of pots make this guitar stand out.   We were able to get it set up nicely too.  It doesn't play like a 60s Gibson ES-335, but I bet it plays better than you think! We...

1988 Dobro Hula Blues Duolian Resonator Round Neck Guitar

$999.99
No sales tax for customers outside California. This run of Duolians by Dobro were quite popular, and justly so.  The instrument sounds really good and plays well too.

No sales tax for customers outside California.   Finding an intact, vintage Hummingbird pickguard is  just about impossible, until now!   The pickguard has some slight curve/curl to it, but nothing that you can't work with in getting it applied to your guitar.  I do recommend having a luthier help you with the application if you are at all wondering how you might pull it off...
