❌SOLD❌ Fender Pre-CBS Stratocaster Sunburst, 1964

On May 18, 2022 /

Here’s something we see fewer of – a Fender Pre-CBS Stratocaster in Sunburst, with a body date of 9/63 and neck date of March 1964. This type of ‘date mismatch’ has been common in some periods of Fender production. The factory would build and finish a larger number of bodies and store them, with the necks built closer to the sale and delivery date. The potentiometers date to 1963.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Firebird Studio Vintage Burst, 2017

On May 18, 2022 /

The Gibson Firebird Studio was a simplified expression of the original Firebird V design, using a set neck, full-sized humbuckers and ‘Non Reverse’ headstock. It seems to have been discontinued in the recent past. In a number of ways, the Firebird Studio is a mixture of the original ‘Reverse’ Firebird aesthetics and ‘Non-Reverse’ construction techniques.

❌SOLD❌ National Raw Steel 12 Fret Reso-Phonic Guitar, 2020

On May 15, 2022 /

Part of the NRP ‘Raw Series’ line, the National Raw Steel 12 Fret Reso-Phonic guitar delivers a vintage-style look and sound in a modern and more affordable package. Here we’re looking at a National Raw Steel 12 fret model, with a label date of 06/20 for June of 2020. It is in overall good condition, with the wear and oxidation expected for a raw steel finish. It plays well, and has the unmistakable National tone, volume and presence.

❌SOLD❌ Martin & Coupa Guitar, 1840s

On May 13, 2022 /

Here is another rarity – an 1840’s Martin & Coupa guitar, built in Nazareth PA for John Coupa at 385 Broadway (Upstairs!) in New York. It is extraordinary that an instrument like this Martin & Coupa guitar could be in all original and playable condition, complete with its original “coffin” case, over 160 years after its production! To give a little chronological perspective, this instrument would have been delivered to its first owner by stagecoach and riverboat 20 years before the American Civil War.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!! Fender Jazz Bass V American Standard Sunburst, 2016

On May 12, 2022 /

The Fender Jazz Bass V, as an American Standard version, was built from 1998 to 2000, then from 2008 to 2016. The American Standard name was dropped in 2017 to be replaced by the American Professional line. Despite being listed in catalogs as the “Jazz Bass V”, the “V” does not appear on the headstock logo of this instrument. The five-string bass seems to have appeared in 1965 as the short-lived Fender Bass V.
