Here is a rarity – a neck-through Washburn Falcon Wing with Indian Rosewood top, built in Japan during 1980. The ‘Wing’ series was introduced in 1978 as Washburn’s entry into electric guitars, and this model was built until 1982. This example appears to be in good, largely original condition.

❌SOLD❌  Gretsch Malcolm Young Signature Jet G6131-MY Natural

The Gretsch Malcolm Young Signature Jet is really something special, based on a 1963 G6131 Jet Firebird with the modifications the late Young made over the years. That guitar can be heard in Malcolm’s hands on almost all of AC/DC’s albums delivering an unmistakable sound.

❌SOLD❌ BC Rich NJ Eagle Bolt-On Black, 1984

❌SOLD❌ BC Rich NJ Eagle Bolt-On Black, 1984

Here is a BC Rich NJ Eagle, a bolt-on design built under Bernardo Rico’s direction in Nagoya, Japan in an effort to bring his designs to a wider market. This example dates to around 1984, and while it’s not quite the same as the hand-built, through-neck US BC Rich models – which is impressive. This is a really good feeling and good playing guitar.

❌SOLD❌  B.C. Rich Wave NJ Series RWG-2 Black, 1983

This B.C. Rich Wave RWG-2 neck-through model was built under the direction of Bernardo Rico in Nagoya, Japan in 1983, following the end of the ‘B.C. Rico’ name. The B.C. Rico and B.C. Rich NJ Series line of guitars was Bernardo Rico’s response to Japanese builders copying his distinctive B.C. Rich designs at much lower cost than his hand-built US models.

❌SOLD❌ Gretsch Nashville 6120DSW Archtop Electric Western Orange, 2003

❌SOLD❌  Gretsch Nashville 6120DSW Archtop Electric Western Orange, 2003

Based on early 1950’s models, the Gretsch Nashville 6120DSW model is probably the iconic Gretsch with its G brand in the top and ‘Western’ motif inlays. A fully hollow guitar with tone bars and a soundpost for support, the DSW designation indicates that Dyna Sonic pickups are installed, and the Western decorations are used.

❌SOLD❌ Ibanez 2461 Johnny Smith ‘Lawsuit Era’ Archtop Electric Natural, 1975

❌SOLD❌  Ibanez 2461 Johnny Smith 'Lawsuit Era' Archtop Electric Natural, 1975

Here we have an Ibanez 2461 Johnny Smith style, full body cutaway archtop, built in Japan likely during 1975. The model was built until 1977. Typical of the early 1975 period, it has no serial number – these started appearing on the back of the headstock late 1975. It is largely original, though it has a slight modification – the output jack was a mini-plug mounted on the pickguard, and this was removed and a standard 1/4 inch jack installed to the lower treble side.
