1958 Gibson ES-335, Museum Quality!
Sometimes you just shake your head and wonder in amazement; this is one of those times. Simply stunning DOT Neck 335 from 1958; this is the finest vintage guitar I’ve ever acquired! 100% original with OHSC, factory stop, looks unplayed, 9.8/10 condition, just a spectacular vintage instrument. Charlie Gelber at OK Guitars had a chance to look it over, and said it was the 2nd or 3rd finest 335 he’s ever seen out of more than 200 ES guitars that he’s owned.
And it has THE neck PUP; no guitar I’ve owned can compare. Neck PUP/7.62K, Bridge PUP/7.97K. Tremendous resonance, perfect weight around 7.5 lbs. Nice full 58 neck, plays unbelievably.
Left-Handed 1956 Fender Tele, 100% Original, EXC Condition with OHSC, Extremely Rare Vintage Lefty!
Left Handed 1956 Fender Tele, 100% Original, OHSC, EXC Condition. This is an extremely rare, desirable, and unmolested lefty vintage guitar-I have only seen 2 other lefty Teles from the 50s! Body is dated 1954, neck is dated 7-55, pots are Stackpole 304620(20th week of 1956), neck plate is 113xx. Fender probably made a run of a few lefties from 1954, so they used what bodies were available in later years from that original inventory, something we’ve often seen with Fender lefty vintage guitars from the 50s and 60s. Has Lefty markings on bottom of bridge PUP, bridge PUP cavity, and bottom of neck(see pics).
As is consistent with the other 2 lefty 50s Teles, the bridge is stamped in the 196x range(1960). This is something mentioned in THE book on Teles: AR Duchossoir’s The Fender Telecaster on p.70(a detailed discussion of bridge plates) and on p. 78(the use of random serial #’s in dating bridges on the earliest Teles).
Lefty Gibson Historic 1959 Les Paul, 8 1/2 lbs, New & Unplayed Beauty!
This was the best top from a recent group of Left Handed 2013 Gibson R9 Les Pauls; Iced Tea color, VOS finish, Nickel hardware, COA/OHSC with all tags & paperwork, original factory shipping box, Brand New/Unplayed.
It has a really beautiful figured top that features great complex flame with tremendous movement. And when you pick it up, you know right away it’s the perfect weight for a Les Paul: 8 1/2 lbs, or 8lbs, 8 oz to be exact. One of the nicest left handed Historic 1959 Les Pauls I’ve gotten in!

LEFTY 1958 Fender Strat, 100% Original with OHSC, Amazing Strat!
I’ve been thinking of the appropriate adjective to describe this 1958 Strat. I haven’t been able to come up with just one word, so I’ll just call it Pure Dynamite! This is simply one of the best Strats I’ve ever had the privilege of playing, including my favorite 1961 Slab Strat. I didn’t think that I would find one that rivaled the 61, but this guitar is the one!
It has an unbelievable neck PUP(my favorite PUP on a Strat). The Tone is mind blowing and mind altering all in one: clearly-defined notes on the wound strings, deep mids, and musical highs without the ice-pick effect, all in a hugely resonating 3-D experience that prevents you from putting this one down. You know the Otis Rush line, I Can’t Quit You Baby, I think I’m gonna put you down for a little while; he’s obviously not talking about this guitar, because you Can’t Put it Down….Not Even For A Little While!
