❌SOLD❌ Fender Stratocaster Natural Finish, 1972

On July 23, 2018 /

For most of the time since its 1954 introduction, the Fender Stratocaster has been very popular and has been available in a myriad of colours, though natural has not always been one of them. The first versions were often sunburst or translucent white, but automotive based colour schemes followed quickly.

Fender Stratocaster HardTail Black, 1973

On June 24, 2018 /

This Fender Stratocaster guitar features the classic finished one piece Maple neck, with the new from 1971 3-bolt MicroTilt neck and hex-key ‘Bullet’ truss rod adjuster at the head. The MicroTilt and Bullet adjuster are extremely practical features, allowing rapid adjustments to the guitar’s setup, without disassembling it. Many earlier Fender models have damaged pickguards from truss rod adjustments with the neck on – a flat screwdriver would frequently be used and dig into the pickguard.

Sold! Fender Telecaster Thinline Guitar Natural, 1978

On April 23, 2018 /

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.

TESTIMONIALS

I Wish I Would Turn 60 Every Year!

I had the biggest surprise of my life for my birthday: the guitar of my dream (I tried in Madrid last October). I never thought it would be mine. It is an EXTRAORDINARY FLAMENCO GUITAR; the sound is just amazing.

Simply Over The Moon Playing this Beautiful Herringbone!

I want to first thank Nevin who has spent time with me over several visits explaining the ins and outs of acoustic guitars. He has always been patient with, I’m sure to him, obvious questions and also full of really interesting information. Thank you Nevin, and thank you also for your diligence taking my Lucille in on consignment. Hope to hear from you soon on that!

I have been simply over the moon playing this beautiful herringbone the last few days.

Many thanks also to Brian who saw me standing there, guitar in hand and wondering what next and wrapped everything up very nicely and clearly. Anyhow great day as always when I visit you.

Thank You For Your Help And Patience.

I want to send you this happy mail and thank you for your help and patience. The Saratoga is ringing and plinging and has accepted me as her user. My fingerpicking is improving and I am happy in every way.

Next year I will buy a good open back banjo and I mean to buy it from you. I don’t find the Saratoga to be ideal for claw hammer so we must look into the matter. Maybe a fine top end instrument already used and treated with songs? Greetings from Norway!

1967 Gretsch Brought Back To Life!!

I came to Twelfth Fret with an all original 1967 Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean which I had purchased online. The guitar was barely playable, would not tune and was just a very expensive disappointment. After a consultation with Scott, he came up with a plan to see if this guitar could be brought back to life. After great communication, Scott put his skillful hand to work and gave me back one of the greatest guitars I have ever played!
I went from totally disappointed with this guitar, to it being one of my favorites. I don’t know how Scott did it, but unbelievable. Great communication throughout the process, incredibly skillful work, and most of all just a real desire on Scott’s behalf to bring this thing back to life as best he could. I went from having totally given up, to very boastful to own this guitar. Completely blown away.
