Reduced! Gretsch 6120DSW Nashville Archtop Electric, Orange 2003

On September 21, 2020 /

The Gretsch 6120DSW Nashville reproduces the 1955 6120 models whose popularity was led by Chet Atkins. These are named Nashville because the license agreement with Atkins lapsed in 1980 with the end of Gretsch production. Atkins signed a new agreement with Gibson in 1981, and in 2007 Gretsch was able to renew the relationship. The Gretsch 6120DSW Nashville model, with a few changes – primarily the Chet pickguard, Gold Bigsby with vintage handle, aluminum vs brass nut and pickups by TV Jones rather than Seymour Duncan – is now called the G6120T-55 Vintage Select Edition ’55 Chet Atkins®. The core of the guitar and other hardware are the same.

Gibson SJ 200 Standard Sunburst, 2017

On September 14, 2020 /

Here is a very nice Gibson SJ 200 Standard – the SJ standing for Super Jumbo – in Vintage Sunburst and built during 2015 in Bozeman, Montana. The name has varied over time, starting as the SJ-200 from 1938 to 1954, then abbreviated to J-200 until 1999 when it became the SJ-200 again. This model has been a favourite with a wide range of guitarists, from Gene Autry to Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend to Tex Ritter.

Jerry Jones Neptune Shorthorn Bass 4 Copper, 2006

On September 9, 2020 /

The Jerry Jones Neptune Shorthorn Bass 4 draws from a classic American design by Danelectro, and was built in Nashville from 1981 to 2011. At that point, Jones retired and liquidated his shop. Danelectro was operated from 1946 to 1969 by Nathan Daniel and from 1966 to its close was owned by the MCA record company. Specializing in mass produced, low cost but decent quality instruments and amplifiers, Danelectos were largely available through catalog stores like Sears & Roebuck and Montgomery Ward but often under other names including the Sears brand Silvertone.

Gibson Les Paul Standard Pelham Blue, 2016

On September 8, 2020 /

Here’s an unusual find – a very good condition Gibson Les Paul Standard in Pelham Blue, built as a 2016 model and dating to the last day of 2015. The Gibson Les Paul Standard appeared as a 1958 model and introduced Gibson’s new humbucking pickups. Prior to this, the Les Paul had been available in several forms – the Les Paul, Les Paul Custom, Les Paul Special and Les Paul Junior. All of those used P90 pickups except the Custom, which carried an AlNiCo ‘Staple Top’ pickup in the neck position.

Gibson Les Paul Deluxe GoldTop, 1970

On September 2, 2020 /

Built from 1969 to 1985, the Gibson Les Paul Deluxe GoldTop was a renaming of the Les Paul Standard, but used the original P-90 body route and a pair of mini-humbuckers mounted in modified P-90 covers. This allowed for a low cost refresh of the model, co-incidentally using up parts Gibson had on hand. Initially introduced in 1952, the Gibson Les Paul carried the GoldTop finish, a pair of P-90s, and a trapeze tailpiece.

Sold! Gibson Sheryl Crow Southern Jumbo Sunburst, 2012

On September 2, 2020 /

The Gibson Sheryl Crow Southern Jumbo is based on the original 1942 version of the SJ, introduced as an upmarket version of the J-45 slope shouldered dreadnought. The Gibson Southern Jumbo or SJ is based very closely on the classic J-45, but with more decoration. It was launched with the J-45 in 1942, but marketed, as the name suggests, to musicians in the American South – south of the Mason-Dixon line. The key differences are in fingerboard binding and position markers.
