❌SOLD❌ Gibson Memphis ES-335 Custom with Bigsby Sunburst, 2009

On February 3, 2023 /

Dating to April 23 2009, this Gibson Memphis ES-335 Custom features beautifully flamed Maple and a factory installed Bigsby B7. I think this is one of the best looking 335’s I’ve seen for some time, and the dual-roller Bigsby is far enough back from the bridge to provide a relatively shallow break angle. This shallow angle really improves the smoothness of both arm movement and return to pitch.

❌SOLD❌ Gretsch 57 Duo Jet VS Bigsby Cadillac Green, 2000

On February 2, 2023 /

The Gretsch 57 Duo Jet VS (Vintage Select) with Bigsby sports a Cadillac Green finish and gold plated hardware, reflecting 1957 design choices. Dating to March of 2000, this Gretsch 57 Duo Jet is in great shape with very little actual wear. There is slight oxidization in wear areas of the plating – particularly the arm rest and Bigsby handle, but virtually no fret wear.

❌SOLD❌ Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean 6119 Walnut, 1967

On January 25, 2023 /

Currently named the ‘Tennessee Rose’, the Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean 6119 first appeared in 1958, and for 1961 gained the closed, thin ElectroTone body. Chet Atkins had been urging Gretsch to take steps to reduce feedback on their hollow body designs, especially after Gibson introduced the center-block ES335 in 1958.

❌SOLD❌ Airline H78 Thinline (Harmony) Cherry, 1965

On January 19, 2023 /

The Airline H78 Thinline was built for the Montgomery-Ward company by Harmony from 1965 to 1972, as a re-branded version of the Harmony H78. Indeed, it seems that the only difference is the head plate and logo!
Harmony, purchased by Sears-Roebuck in 1916 and owned by them until 1940, was at one point by volume the largest guitar maker in the USA, which also meant in the world.

❌SOLD❌ Yamaha Revstar RS720B with Bigsby Sunburst, 2021

On January 10, 2023 /

From its launch in 2015, the Yamaha Revstar line has included a number of high quality instruments that don’t quite look like anything else. The model seen here, a Yamaha Revstar RS720B (the B specifies a Bigsby B50 and Tune-O-Matic bridge), seems to have been dropped from the 2022 lineup but appeared in the 2018 USA Yamaha Guitars catalog.

❌SOLD❌ Gretsch 7655 Chet Atkins Tennessean Shaded Cherry, 1974

On December 9, 2022 /

This Gretsch 7655, a Chet Atkins Tennessean in a shaded cherry finish, dates to October of 1974 and appears to be in very good, clean and original condition. This guitar is from the Baldwin era and was built in Booneville, Arkansas. In 1958, Gretsch launched the original Tennessean as model 6119, placing it below their very popular 6120 Chet Atkins model. The ElectroTone (sealed) single-cutaway body was thinner, and at first it had one Filter ‘Tron in the bridge position.
