❌SOLD❌ Fender P Bass Rosewood Board Sunburst 1963

On February 11, 2021 /

Here we have a beautiful Fender P Bass, Rosewood fingerboard model dating to 1963 or late 1962, showing a lot of honest play wear from years of use in Toronto jazz clubs. Leo Fender started shipping the ground-breaking Precision Bass in October of 1951. In 1954, it gained the new ‘Stratocaster’ style body contours. In 1957 the new two-coil hum-cancelling pickup and larger headstock and this is the form that has continued to present time. In mid 1959 Fender, seeking more market share in the Jazz crowd, added a Rosewood fingerboard to the Precision bass to match the 1958 Jazzmaster.

❌SOLD❌ Gretsch Chet Atkins 6122 Country Gentleman Walnut, 1967

On January 25, 2021 /

The Gretsch Chet Atkins 6122 Country Gentleman appeared in 1957 with the 6119 Tennessean, bracketing the popular 6120 model. These were the first of Gretsch’s thin body designs, and unlike Gibson’s new 3xx models, were fully hollow – no center block. Gretsch’s approach to feedback suppression was different, with the sealed ElectroTone body offering some resistance. Chet Atkins himself promptly switched from a 6120 to the Country Gentleman as his primary studio guitar.

❌SOLD❌ Gretsch Chet Atkins 6122 Country Gentleman Thinline Archtop Walnut, 1963

On October 15, 2020 /

Here we’re looking at a Gretsch Chet Atkins 6122 Country Gentleman built during 1963, the same year as Harrison’s. This fine example is in very good condition, and is original except for the addition of a Gibson style, gold plated tune-o-matic bridge in place of the rocking bar bridge. The finish is worn on the neck where it’s been played – the frets are original and have expected wear – but the guitar has been well cared for and the finish is in overall good condition.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Brad Paisley Road Worn® Telecaster®, 2017

On March 12, 2020 /

The Fender Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster takes its cues as a signature model from one of Paisley’s main guitars, an original 1968 pink Paisley Tele. The initial appearance of this model is striking – it’s shiny, silver sparkle finish is hard to miss, and complements the silver and black Paisley pickguard. The one-piece Maple neck is much like many 1950’s models, and its 9.5 inch radius fingerboard and full profile is surprisingly comfortable.

❌SOLD❌Gibson J45 Slope Shoulder Dreadnought Sunburst, 1963

On February 21, 2020 /

he Gibson J45 Slope Shouldered dreadnought, or Jumbo, was introduced in 1942 to replace the J-35, which had been built since 1936. It has remained in production ever since, and its rich warm tones make it a great match with a singer. Intended as a ‘working man’s guitar’, the Gibson J43 Slope Shouldered model was very similar to the J-35, but for the most part has stiffer, stronger and taller bracing shifted slightly back from the soundhole and a rounded neck profile.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Junior Cherry, 1962

On December 3, 2019 /

Gibson first introduced the Les Paul Junior with their 1954 model lineup as their lowest price student model, with one pickup and no frills. It kept that position until 1959, when it was bumped by the Melody Maker. From 1954, the Les Paul Junior had a profile very much like the Les Paul itself – it looked like the Les Paul’s Mahogany back, just without the carved Maple cap. For 1958, Gibson was shifting to double cutaway bodies, reflected in the brand new ES-335, and the Junior also got a double cutaway treatment.
