Lefty Vintage Guitars

Welcome to Lefty Vintage Guitars, a site specializing in buying, selling, trading, and consigning high-end lefty guitars. I have been collecting vintage guitars for over 20 years, including Fender and Gibson electrics and acoustics primarily from the 1950s, and 1960s. I also collect high-end modern era lefty guitars, including Gibson Historics and Fender Custom Shop guitars. The rarer, the better!

Please browse the Sold Gallery and Showcase Instruments to get an idea of the wonderful guitars I have acquired and sold to happy clients!

I have established a broad network of invaluable contacts in the vintage guitar business. Please let me know what you are looking for, and I'll do my best to find it! Also, I am paying the highest prices for clean lefty vintage guitars. Let me know what you have; I'll be happy to work out a deal you will be happy with. I do want to mention that I buy righty guitars on ocassion as well, especially those that can be easily converted to lefty, including Fender Strats and ES-335/345 guitars.

I also have a section showcasing rock concert photographs I have taken over the years, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck, Bad Company, Peter Frampton, and others. Take a look; maybe they'll bring back some memories!

Please feel free to contact me anytime by phone at: 941-374-7418 or by e-mail at: alex57@comcast.net. I love to talk guitars!

LEFTY 1969 Fender Tele, Near Mint Condition!
LEFTY 1973 Gibson ES-355TDSV w OHSC, Amazing Condition!LEFTY 1973 Gibson ES-355TDSV w OHSC, Amazing Condition! LEFTY 1969 Fender® Tele®, 100% Original with OHSC, Near Mint Condition, super clean example and impossible to find lefty vintage Tele® in this condition! Dates are: F252952/neck plate, 3JUL69B/neck stamp, 304 6545/pots(typical late 65 pots, along with 1966 pots that Fender® used right through the late 60s).

No mods or changes; true unmolested survivor guitar! Has some minor case wear and a few nicks, dings, and scratches; owner has lightly etched his name under low E tuner on back of headstock(no big deal, but I did want to mention it). Has "Telecaster®" on the headstock, just like a few 69/70 Teles on the lefty guitar database:http://www.lefty-guitars.de/navigation.html (a 69 & 70 Tele® are shown with similar decals). Overall, really super nice condition and ready for you vintage Tele® collection!

As far as Fenders go, I'm usually more into Strats and not so much Teles......... until I played this guitar. Has tremendous tone with well-defined bottom notes and a high end that really cuts through. I was very pleasantly surprised! VERY resonant guitar that reminds me of my early 60s Strats. Totally blows away my mint 67 Tele® Custom I had a few years ago; this Tele is a TONE monster!

Has just been inspected and set-up(including a fret leveling) by Scott Freilich of Top Shelf Music: take the risk out of buying a lefty vintage instrument and grab this great Tele® before it's gone!

As an added bonus, the guitar comes with an original 1969 Fender® catalog and price list, both in EXC condition!

LEFTY 1987 Fender Custom Shop Tele, 1st-Year Custom Shop! LEFTY 1987 Fender Custom Shop Tele, 1st-Year Custom Shop! LEFTY 1987 Fender® Custom Shop Tele®, Blackguard, 1st year Custom Shop, one-owner guitar with all paperwork, strap, cord, bridge cover, OHSC, COA; EXC condition. Very rare lefty guitar; when you open the case, the unmistakeable smell of Nitro hits you just like a pre-CBS Fender; you'd swear this was a 50s or 60s Tele! This is a very LOUD guitar unplugged; just amazing!

Has some very useful upgrades, including a 4-way switch(parallel & series capability), and an out-of-phase toggle switch. The original 3-way switch and pots(dated 137 8614) are installed in a replacement control plate(also with an out-of-phase switch) which is in the case. Also has the original control plate(intact) in the case. Currently has compensated brass saddles installed for more accurate intonation; original saddles are in the case. Has an EXC pro refret with medium frets for easier bends; the new frets show no wear. The guitar plays VERY well!

Has the original Fender® Custom Shop oval red logo with "John Page" in both the neck pocket and bottom of neck. Also has the red oval C/S logo on back of the neck. Has just been inspected and set-up by Scott Freilich of Top Shelf Guitars; this guitar needs nothing and is ready to go!

The 1st year Custom Shop Fenders are very special guitars, and this is no exception; totally unreal Tele!
