1968 Fender Candy Apple Red Jazzmaster with OHSC, EXC!

1968 Left Handed Fender Jazzmaster, original Candy Apple Red finish, very clean condition, OHSC(typical righty case for 60s lefty Jazzmasters/Jaguars; it’s actually a no trademark logo 1966 case). The neck pickup has been recently rewound by Lindy Fralin, inspected and set-up by Scott Freilich of Top Shelf Music, now plays and sounds unbelievable!

Scott has commented:
It’s a really nice guitar. As nice as most of the earlier ones I’ve played except for slab boards. I have to totally agree; very nice example of a lefty vintage Jazzmaster, and it’s a custom color as well!

1971 Gibson ES-150DC with late 1960s Features, EXC & 100% Original!

This is just not a vintage Gibson guitar that you see in lefty. In fact, I have never seen a left handed ES-150DC, and you may never see another one ever again! It’s also in the seldom seen Cherry Red finish-most of these were Walnut or Natural.

The ES-150DC is a model that Gibson introduced in 1969, and production ran from 1969-1975. It is a hybrid guitar which may be considered a double-cutaway ES-175, or a deep body(3 inch depth) ES-335. Add a master volume and you have a very unique instrument!

This particular guitar has some late 1960s features: the neck has NO volute and inside you will find an Orange Label, and it’s even a no union made label! The back of the headstock has the Made in the U.S.A. stamp, and pots date 137 7114, so technically it’s a 1971 with the latest date being from 1971.

1974 Fender Strat, Stag Pole, 100% Original with OHSC, Near Mint!

Left Handed 1974 Fender Strat, Sunburst Finish, Maple Neck, Staggered Pole Pieces, OHSC with trem bar, Near Mint one-owner guitar. Very nice vintage lefty Strat, last of the stag pole Strats, this guitar was not played much at all as evidenced by the lack of fret wear; in fact, the neck looks new!

Has some nicks and scratches on the body, but you have to look close to see them. There is no wear to the wood, even on any of the three sides-please see pics. This is a real survivor/time warp Strat that is an unmolested, original guitar. Has that great Strat weight at only 7.5 lbs; plays and sounds as good as any 70s Strat I’ve had!
