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.
