❌ SOLD ❌ C. F. Martin D-21 Steel String Guitar, 1967

On May 1, 2018 /

The C. F. Martin D-21 Steel String Guitar is less common than its classic D-18 and D-26 brethren. Drawing on the same Dreadnought body design, the D-21 combines D-18 level decoration with the D-28 wood choice of Rosewood for the back, sides and headplate. In 1967, the word ‘Rosewood’ almost always meant Brazilian Rosewood, and this D-21 uses avery nicely figured set. By 1969, Martin had stopped offering Brazilian as an option. This C. F. Martin D-21 is fresh from being maintained and set up in our repair shop and it plays very well.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson L-00 Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 1936

On April 30, 2018 /

This very nice example of the Gibson L-00 Steel String Guitar dates to 1936 and is in good working order. It was recently set up in our shop and thoroughly inspected. All the braces are intact and tightly glued in place. At some point in its life, it’s had a neck reset, and possibly at that time the sides, back and heel were oversprayed with a clear lacquer. This would have been done partly because Gibson’s production method installs the neck to the body before finishing, so a removing the neck to reset the dovetail causes finish damage.

❌ SOLD ❌ Gibson SG ’61 Reissue Cherry Red, 2007

On April 30, 2018 /

The Gibson SG ’61 Reissue is a very practical guitar. It’s got all the key elements – an interesting shape, good balance, tonewood choice that provides a wide-ranging rich tone, light weight and full sound from a pair of humbuckers. First introduced as a new version of the very poorly selling Les Paul model, what became the SG appeared at the end of Gibson’s license agreement with Les Paul and co-incidentally with Paul’s divorce. Not wanting to further complicate that legal matter, the license agreement was ended and the 1960/61 Les Paul was quickly renamed the SG, for Solid Guitar.

❌ SOLD ❌ Fender Precision Bass Sunburst 1966

On April 30, 2018 /

Here, we have a very nicely preserved Fender Precision Bass, with a neck stamp reading 5 OCT 1966 C. This bass appears to be in largely original condition, even with the pickup and bridge covers and finger rest. There is some belt buckle wear on the back, but otherwise the finish is in very good condition considering its age. It’s lost some of its gloss and gained a soft patina. The decal is in very good condition – often these dried out and flaked. The plating is mostly worn off the volume control knob, but the tone knob didn’t seem to get quite as much use.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Stratocaster Hard Tail Black, 1975

On April 30, 2018 /

The Fender Stratocaster Hard Tail Black was produced in tandem with its much better known brother, but it was never as popular as the trem bridge version. This version appealed mostly to players who wanted the extra sustain, snap and ‘spank’ from a fixed bridge – as with a Telecaster. The Fender Stratocaster Hard Tail was finally discontinued in 2010 due to low sales. Here we have a Rosewood fingerboard Fender Stratocaster Hard Tail dating to 1975, and built at the Fender plant in Fullerton, California.

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

On April 26, 2018 /

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.
