1964 Gibson ES-330, deep unfaded and vibrant Cherry red finish, Nickel hardware, 100% original with OHSC(Excelsior latches & Marigold interior), EXC condition, tremendous guitar. Another spectacular lefty ES-330; last of the Golden Era Gibsons and impossible to find in all original condition!
LEFTY 1965 Fender® Sunburst Strat®, OHSC, EXC condition. All original except for replaced nut, currently has 5-way switch(original 3-way in the case), bridge pickup has been rewound but is original, trem cover is missing. Take the risk out of buying a lefty vintage guitar: this Strat has been thoroughly inspected, examined, and set-up by Scott Freilich of Top Shelf Music, one of the most knowledgeable vintage guitar luthiers in the country(www.topshelfmusic.com).
This is one of about 6 lefty ’65 Strats I’ve seen from mid-65 that came with the F plate(typical for that period); this one is F125xxx.
LEFTY 1969 Gibson SG Special, 100% original in EXC condition, OSSC. True 1969 guitar: No volute, no “Made in USA” stamp, ser #836xxx, pots date: 1376934. Very nice example, survivor guitar, strong unfaded Cherry Red color, no breaks/cracks, unmodified Maestro tailpiece.
This guitar has been played but not abused, some worming on back, body has moderate wear, frets have some wear but plenty of life left. Includes original softshell case.
This is an untouched, 100% original 1965 Blonde Fender® Strat® with OHSC, a true time capsule and survivor guitar! It’s not everyday you find an unmolested vintage Strat®, especially in the highly desirable and very rare Blonde over Ash custom color finish. I believe I was the first person to ever turn a screw on this guitar; every screw was nice and tight, with all solder joints untouched. It was like a religious experience taking this guitar apart, Oh Hallelujah!
This Strat® has been sitting in a closet and unplayed for most of it’s life. It’s now ready for a new owner looking for a highly collectable Custom Color Strat® that will only appreciate in value. Overall condition: EXC+, with some buckle rash on the back. Some dings and scratches, but I would call it EXC+ or 8.75/10.
Here’s a beautiful factory stop 1964 ES-335 that’s a verified one-owner(80 year-old gentleman) with a very strong, deep red color and very nice grain. The red color is even stronger than on my 1960 ES-345 or 1964 ES-330. This guitar is in very fine condition with very little overall wear and is a sight to behold! It also has the perfect medium chunky neck that the 1964s are known for. The Brazilian rosewood fingerboard is dark, yet light enough to display some really nice figure.
The guitar is housed in an 1958 Case Company case that originally went with the owner’s “other” ES-335; yes, a 1958 ES-335. That guitar is long gone, and after seeing and playing this guitar I can understand why the owner kept the 1964! Other than the case, the guitar has been professionally inspected and authenticated and is 100% original.
Insanely rare and ultra cool Lefty 1961 Fender Tele with a Sunburst Custom Color, EXC condition, 100% original with OHSC and ashtray cover. The original lefty brown case is even nicer than the one for my 1961 Strat! How rare is this guitar? This is the ONLY lefty slab board Custom Color Tele I have ever seen; may be the only one on the planet! This guitar is MUCH more rare than a slab Strat – there is no comparison!
This Tele has a real nice blend Sunburst finish typical of 1961, strong unfaded color, Dark Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, frets have moderate wear with plenty of life left, has some nicks/dings with only a few spots on the edges down to the wood(see pics), the volume pot has wear but still very functional, and the bridge pickup is truly outstanding! This guitar has a tremendous resonance and plays really, really well. Nice weight around 7.5 lbs. If you’re a lefty player into vintage Teles, you MUST own this guitar!
