Willies American Guitars

Black, with P-90 pickups. Willie’s was one of the largest Hamer dealers in this era. These had a clever three piece neck with the grain from the two outside pieces going in opposite directions providing extra strength. The wood selection was also superior. Frank Untermeyer, one of Hamers partners now ovesees the global supply of wood for Martin guitar (he’s still a bad ass). The point? Hamer USA...

Cherry, mahogany body, short 30.5” scale, unbound rosewood fretboard with dot inlays, nice rounded neck profile, two humbucking pickups, two volume and one master tone control, this has been played and shows playing scratches on back and some on front, but no breaks, nice and light at 7.9 pounds, comes with the original hard case.

Sunburst on flame maple top, 24 3/4” scale, flamey maple back and sides, bound rosewood fretboard with double parallelogram inlays. This guitar was upgraded to the preferred Kent Armstrong pickup, as the original 2003-era pickups can be kinda weak The Armstrong is a well-loved upgrade. It also has added volume and tone pots and knobs. The hardwarde is gold and the guitar is in good shape but does...

An early Carr Vincent with classic (2) 6L6 power tubes. These are simple and durable with a classic ‘60s-style pre-amp circuit and output (power section) that is closer to ‘50s tweed era Fenders. Very rich clean tone with footswitchable drive and boost. The power is 33 or 7 watts, using an integral power attenuator,  an ideal combo for gigs and practice. These are classic American amps built with...

Natural, cutaway body, Western Red Cedar top with herringbone trim, Indian rosewood back and sides, unbound ebony fingerboard with dot inlays, LR Baggs pickup, in good shape with one ding on the top, no cracks or repairs, sounds real good with a warm mid-range that works well played fingerstyle or with a pick. An excellent US-made Breedlove acoustic electric. Comes with the manual and the...

Factory red tolex, closed-back 1x12” combo with a Celestion Classic 80, two independent channels with original footswitch, and comes with factory casters. A very strong 80 watts from a pair of EL34s and in our opinion one of the best implementations of channel switching on any amp, ever. The clean channel sounds like a blackface Super or Pro Reverb - tons of dynamics, volume, and clarity, and the...

Very clean and all-original, with footswitch and all papers, the only (minor) issue is the missing footswitch cable, easily-sourced. 50 watts from a pair of EL34s, tube rectifier, two independent channels with six modes, channel-assignable dual rectification with Recto Tracking™, independent master, gain, and EQ controls for each channel, bold/spongy “variac” switch, buffered FX loop, hard bypass...

Clean, all-original and in fine working order. 22 watts, 2x6V6, 1x12” combo with its great-sounding factory Italian Jensen loudspeaker, two channels, tube-driven spring reverb and optical tremolo, clean and rich at lower volumes, great edgy grind when cranked. It doesn’t get more classic, versatile, or useful than a Fender Deluxe Reverb. All-tube, made in Corona, California, USA.

Antique Heritage Sunburst, the antique is unique with the bound 335 style headstock inlay. Has some nice flame with a lightly tinted lacquer to give it an aged look. In very clean condition with a nickel hardware, ’57 Classic pickups, one piece mahogany neck and a rosewood fretboard. This never had a pickguard but these came with one in the case. It’s nice and light at 8.7 pounds. Also has the...

Natural, spruce top, koa back and sides, striped ebony fingerboard with abalone pearl inlays, abalone pearl rosette, gold tuners, 1 11/16 at nut, beautiful solid Koa back and sides, very nice 20 year old Koa Martin.

The humbucker is perfect for someone wanting a bit more warmth. Comes with an upgraded black tweed hard case.

PRICE REDUCTION This amp made for Duke Robillard, one of our heroes. Duke Robillard - Roomful of Blues and the Fabulous Thunderbirds - is a master player. I would never miss a chance to go see him. One day Duke came into Willie's and traded this amp and his reissue Gold Top for a vintage piece he "had to have". We sold the amp to local legend Randy Anderson (he played with Joey Molland on our...

One of the more versatile and useful small heads of the last few decades, the THD UniValve is a single-ended amp that will take any octal-base output tube without rebiasing which, coupled with the integral finely-adjustable power attenuator, gives it an incredible array of overdrive varieties. Volume, bass, treble, and "attitude" controls, power attenuation knob, noise reduction switch, lo/hi...
