❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Special Tobacco Sunburst, 1977

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Special Tobacco Sunburst, 1977

Introduced in 1955 as an intermediate model, the two-pickup, single cutaway Gibson Les Paul Special’s main difference from the GoldTop Les Paul was the lack of a carved Maple top. This model followed the entry level, single P-90 pickup Les Paul Junior that appeared in 1954. Both models used ‘slab’ Mahogany bodies, Mahogany necks and Rosewood fingerboards – at the time, Brazilian Rosewood.

❌SOLD❌ G&L L-1000 Bass Translucent Teal, 1981

❌SOLD❌  G&L L-1000 Bass Translucent Teal, 1981

Here we have a G&L L-1000 Bass in Translucent Teal finish, built during the mid to late part of 1981 in Fullerton, California. The G&L L-1000 is a fully passive bass that can be regarded as a successor to the ground-breaking mid-1957 Precision Bass, which replaced the original single coil pickup with a new, dual-coil, hum cancelling model.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson SJ Round Shoulder Dreadnought Sunburst, 1957

❌SOLD❌  Gibson SJ Round Shoulder Dreadnought Sunburst, 1957

Making their appearances in 1942, the Gibson SJ Round Shoulder Dreadnought, and the classic J-45 share much and their differences are largely cosmetic. Responding to the increasing demand for larger and louder guitars at the close of the Depression and start of WW2, the Gibson SJ Round Shoulder dreadnought – the Southern Jumbo – and the J-45 immediately met a positive reaction.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster Surf Green, 2016

❌SOLD❌   Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster Surf Green, 2016

Introduced in 1991 after several years of consultation and development, the Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster has a number of features tailored to Beck’s playing style. In particular, the trem system components are selected and adjusted to allow the smoothest string movement and best return to pitch, without going to a full double locking trem system. Here we’re looking at a Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster in very good, clean condition, built during 2016 in Corona California and sporting a Surf Green finish.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Super 400 Archtop Electric Sunburst, 1954

❌SOLD❌  Gibson Super 400 Archtop Electric Sunburst, 1954

The Gibson Super 400 strode above most others when giant archtops roamed the earth, and is still one of the largest production guitars made. Making its introduction in 1934 as the ‘Super L-5 Deluxe’, the non-cutaway model was quickly joined by a cutaway model, initially named the Super 400 P for ‘Premiere’. The ‘400’ designation was originally a reference to the price.

SOLD!! Gibson Les Paul Triumph Bass Natural, 1973

SOLD!! Gibson Les Paul Triumph Bass Natural, 1973

A wonderful rarity – a Gibson Les Paul Triumph Bass in natural finish! Introduced in 1971, the Triumph bass followed closely the Les Paul Bass, introduced in 1969.   The construction of the Gibson Les Paul Triumph bass is perhaps closest to the original Les Paul Custom, in that aside from the fingerboard, it’s entirely Mahogany including the carved top. No Maple cap! However, that’s where the similarities end, as the Les Paul and Triumph basses have low-impedance pickups and extra controls.
