❌NO LONGER AVAILABLE❌ Fender American Vintage 1965 Jazzmaster Sunburst, 2013

Here we have an early release, 2013 American Vintage 1965 Jazzmaster in three tone sunburst, the yellow-red-black scheme found on so many 1960’s Fender models. This instrument is in very good, all original condition and the case includes the unopened bags of ‘Case Candy’, hang tags, strap and Fender documentation. For this series, the finish is nitrocellulose lacquer, and this is settling nicely.

❌ SOLD ❌ Gibson Les Paul Artisan Guitar, 1977

❌ SOLD ❌ Gibson Les Paul Artisan Guitar, 1977

The Gibson Les Paul Artisan was built during the middle of the 1967-1986 Norlin period. The body uses the Les Paul Custom theme of bound, carved three-piece maple cap, on a bound mahogany back, but also uses a three-piece maple neck (five if you count the ‘wings’ for the headstock width). The ebony fingerboard and headplate are both bound, and as mentioned both the headstock and fingerboard feature a hearts-and-flowers mother of pearl inlay and script logo set that clearly draw from classic Gibson banjos. The Artisan is one of the very few Gibson guitar models to use this type of inlay pattern.

❌ SOLD ❌ Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee HH Model Black, 2012

❌ SOLD ❌ Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee HH Model Black, 2012

The Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee HH is a very straight ahead guitar – just like Albert Lee is a straight ahead guitar player. They both do exactly what is required in new creative ways, and do it exceptionally well. This Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee HH dates to January 12, 2012, and combines the striking, angular yet comfortable mahogany Albert Lee body with a solid rosewood neck and fingerboard. Locking tuners, a Music Man trem bridge, a pair of humbucking pickups with selector switch and master volume and tone controls round out the hardware.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Bronco Guitar Fiesta Red, 1974

❌SOLD❌ Fender Bronco Guitar Fiesta Red, 1974

The Fender Bronco was built between 1967 and 1980 as a single pickup, 24 inch scale student guitar. It featured a slab alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and a simple trem bridge. This example dates to around 1974 – it’s possibly a bit earlier – and is in largely original, and good, condition. The pickup has been changed, but other parts seem original. The finish, likely Fiesta Red is in quite good condition. This guitar has actually been played, as there is some wear to the end of the fingerboard and that’s usually from strumming with a pick. Fretwear is light to moderate. The original trem arm is long gone.

❌ Sold ❌  Fender Telecaster Thinline Guitar Natural, 1978

Here we have a 1978 Fender Telecaster Thinline, from the second variation produced 1972-1980 at Fullerton, California. For this version the stock Tele pickup set is replaced with a pair of original design, humbucking pickups designed by Seth Lover, and the ‘Ashtray’ bridge shifts to the ‘Hardtail’ model like that found on trem-less Strats. The pickguard has been enlarged to enclose the bridge pickup. This example carries the classic one-piece Fender Maple Neck, with Schaller-designed tuners and the innovative Micro-Tilt 3-bolt neck attachment.

❌ SOLD ❌ Lado Falcon Custom Electric Solidbody Zebrawood, 1983

❌ SOLD ❌ Lado Falcon Custom Electric Solidbody Zebrawood, 1983

The Lado Falcon is a quintessential 1980’s guitar, pairing sustain and clarity with visual effects and playability. These guitars, like those from BC Rich and other builders, provided serious alternatives to Fender and Gibson models. The Lado Guitar Company was founded by Joseph Kovacic and for many years was based at 920 Kingston Road in Toronto. The next tenant was the brand-new Guitarists’ Pro Shop run by Grant MacNeill and Dan Charman named The Twelfth Fret. Lado moved to larger quarters in Scarborough, and in 1981 to a much larger facility in Uxbridge, Ontario, about 74 kilometers north of Toronto.
