This little baby is sweet! All original, plays great with almost no fret wear, sounds exactly like the little Rock & Roll machine you know it is, and it's clean as a whistle! One little ding is just about the only thing that let's you know it was even used. No stories, no issues, come to us from the original owner, and it still has the original chipboard case.
You know you want it...]]> Mon, 14 May 2012 22:03:04 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/fender-fsr-strat-2009-natural?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=fender-fsr-strat-2009-natural&utm_content=3064838&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/fender-fsr-strat-2009-natural?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=fender-fsr-strat-2009-natural&utm_content=3064838&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

Check out this awesome little delta blues machine! Made in the good ol' USA by Harmony. Hard to get an actual year, but having the old style stenciled Stella logo with no other markings probably puts this somewhere in the late 40's - early 50's. Made from all solid birch, top back, and sides. Huge, chunky, baseball bat neck looks straight and plays nicely with medium/low action and sounds especially nice in open tunings.
No case, but you'll probably just want to walk around with it slung ove...]]> Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:49:27 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/aloha-royal-ukelele-natural-mahogany?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=aloha-royal-ukelele-natural-mahogany&utm_content=3057038&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/aloha-royal-ukelele-natural-mahogany?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=aloha-royal-ukelele-natural-mahogany&utm_content=3057038&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

Beautiful sounding vintage Uke. Solid Mahogany, plays really nice, and looks to be in very good condition. Possible bridge re-glue as there is some residue on the top, but everything is stable and solid.

Very cool and very tweakable, Japanese made Boss Phase shifter.
Two modes and enough Depth to make you seasick. Everything from cool 70's swish, to wobbling Leslie tones, and... it's green.

A little under the radar, these little Japanese made beauties are tone monsters! Simple, amp-like and full of tone. Overdrive & Level controls, what more do you need.

Wah, Wah... I don't need no Wah Wah... Sorry George, I think you do ; )
Very clean, all original, pre- Dunlop, Cry Baby Wah Pedal made by Thomas International Corp. I couldn't make out any pot codes so going on the memory of the original owner it was purchased from, were saying mid to late 80's. Definitely not later, could be earlier... the important thing is that it sounds great!]]> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:01:16 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/dod-overdrive-preamp-250-1981-yellow?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=dod-overdrive-preamp-250-1981-yellow&utm_content=3049104&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/dod-overdrive-preamp-250-1981-yellow?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=dod-overdrive-preamp-250-1981-yellow&utm_content=3049104&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

One of the best overdrive pedals ever made! IMHO : )
Warm, tube-like saturation, and great for pushing an already overdriven tube amp into absolute tonal bliss, droplets of harmonics falling all around you... Sorry, lost myself there. They sounds great!
Purchased from the original owner, one is from 1981 ( missing two screws on the bottom) and the other is from 1982 ( has all the screws)

We just love these funky little European guitars from the '60's. This one was made in Germany circa 1963. Purchased from a guy who got it from the original owner, really solid, nice chunky C shape neck that feels so comfortable and plays great! Really clean, original condition, sounds fab!

Classic mid 60's Fender, for under $2K!
I love these little gems. Plays great, nice low action, clean all original condition with a little honest playing wear, lacquer checking, and sounds fabulous. Comes with original hard shell case in nice condition, all latches work and the neck strap on the inside is actually NOT broken!]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:18:16 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/yamaha-pacifica-electric-12-stri-cherry?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=yamaha-pacifica-electric-12-stri-cherry&utm_content=3026533&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/yamaha-pacifica-electric-12-stri-cherry?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=yamaha-pacifica-electric-12-stri-cherry&utm_content=3026533&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

Looking for a cool inexpensive 12 string electric?
This thing is a great sounding guitar, and (I believe) no longer available. Beautiful transparent cherry finish, gold hardware and plays great!
Purchased new in the mid to late 90's and barely played, this is in pristine, almost unplayed, condition and sounds fabulous.

This is a very cool example of a very unique design by Taylor Guitars.
A wide range of tunes from acoustic to a '50's style archtop electric.
This particular guitar has only one owner, who played it very sparingly in his apartment, has no visible wear at all, and features a very rare body made of African Tonewoods.
Comes with the original case.]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 06:29:17 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-les-paul-robot-2010-blue?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-les-paul-robot-2010-blue&utm_content=3026529&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-les-paul-robot-2010-blue?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-les-paul-robot-2010-blue&utm_content=3026529&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

The first electric guitar with robotic technology allowing, not only automatic tuning, but a whole spectrum of alternate tunings, available at the touch of a button. Pretty freakin' cool!
Features include 490R & 498T Alnico humbuckers
Still retaining the classic Les Paul look with a very groovy blue burst finish, this thing has barely been played, had one owner and is just waiting to be put to good use.

The first Paul Reed Smith guitar to feature a stock Bigsby B-5 tailpiece and Grover tun-o-matic bridge. Solid mahogany body, alnico pickups, classic PRS 24 1/2 inch scale and wide fat neck design make this a modern classic with roots in the past and eyes towards the future. Purchased new and barely played at home, it's practically mint!
Yeah!]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 05:44:13 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-60s-tribute-sg-special-2011-cherry?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-60s-tribute-sg-special-2011-cherry&utm_content=3026526&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-60s-tribute-sg-special-2011-cherry?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-60s-tribute-sg-special-2011-cherry&utm_content=3026526&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

This has got to be one of the coolest things Gibson has done in while.
At least, on the lower end of the price spectrum.
Classic styling, P-90's, satin cherry finish, and this one comes with a Gibson hard case instead of the gig bag. Nice!
The original owner barely played it and it's just begging to rock out.

Terrific bottom end and clear highs ring out of this carbon fiber designed cutaway acoustic from Composite Acoustics.

Yes, we do love our MXR pedals here.

Three tubes (one 6V6, one 5Y3, one 12AX7) one knob.
What else do you need?
Sounds fabulous. Pretty clean and chimey until about halfway, then she gets a little nasty, and I mean that in only the best possible way.
Great chunky overdrive with lots of bite. The ultimate recording amp.

Vintage MXR pedals just rock!

Super sweet example of one of Gibson's best selling solid bodies.
The classic Melody Maker! Solid Mahogany body, with a glued in Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and great sounding little single coil pickup.
Not as loud & bold as their famous P-90, but pretty damn cool in my book.
Plays great, nice action, almost no fret wear, really clean, sounds great and comes with the original alligator chipboard case.]]> Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:00:28 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/eko-500-3v-1964-red-sparkle?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=eko-500-3v-1964-red-sparkle&utm_content=3001923&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/eko-500-3v-1964-red-sparkle?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=eko-500-3v-1964-red-sparkle&utm_content=3001923&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

I mean, really... how frickin' cool are these things?
Classic 1960's Italian design. Vibrant red sparkle front with a beautiful white pearloid back. A little bit of rust around the bridge area which can probably be removed if need be. Missing the tremolo arm (easily available on EBay) and one changed tuner (original is in the case)
Comes with a non original hard case.]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2011 21:42:16 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/danelectro-dc-1-1960-black-1?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=danelectro-dc-1-1960-black-1&utm_content=3001922&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/danelectro-dc-1-1960-black-1?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=danelectro-dc-1-1960-black-1&utm_content=3001922&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

Another 60's classic from Neptune, New Jersey!
Non original knobs, but otherwise all there. Nice low action and that killer, unmistakable tone that you can only get from a vintage lipstick pickup.
Pretty much a "Jimmy Page Model" with one less pickup and at least half the price!
The black finish appears to be original although there is a copper undercoat, which isn't uncommon for these.
If you're looking for a great playing example of one of these, look no further. ]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2011 21:33:36 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/eko-model-100-mascot-1963-sunburst?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=eko-model-100-mascot-1963-sunburst&utm_content=3001917&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/eko-model-100-mascot-1963-sunburst?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=eko-model-100-mascot-1963-sunburst&utm_content=3001917&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

A very neat little archtop made by EKO in Recanti, Italy circa early 1960's.
Lots of lacquer checking and little chips in the finish, but it's all cosmetic and doesn't affect playability, which is excellent.
A whole lotta Italian mojo this thing has!
Plays great with really nice action and cool tone.
Comes with a not original chip case.

Have you ever wished that cool looking vintage Vox Teardrop bass didn't have that tiny little neck and played more like a Fender?

A beautiful example, all original and in excellent condition.
No repairs, cracks, or issues of any kind. Plays nicely, it could use a bit of fret filing on the ends, but otherwise perfect. Sounds amazing!
Come with what appears to be an original gig bag in so, so condition, but you're gonna want to get a hard case to keep this in anyway.]]> Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:20:51 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/kay-value-leader-bass-1960-sunburst-1?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=kay-value-leader-bass-1960-sunburst-1&utm_content=2976307&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/kay-value-leader-bass-1960-sunburst-1?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=kay-value-leader-bass-1960-sunburst-1&utm_content=2976307&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

What we have here is a classic slice of vintage Americana.
Built in 1910 by the Bacon Banjo Company of Groton, Connecticut USA
All original except for the skin. The skin was stretched 2 years ago, done period correct. Could use a little cleaning up, but is fully functional, plays well, and sounds fabulous.
Comes with a chip case which looks old but I'm not sure if it's original.
A great price for a classic American instrument]]> Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:43:50 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/silvertone-1413l-1965-blue?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=silvertone-1413l-1965-blue&utm_content=2961851&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/silvertone-1413l-1965-blue?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=silvertone-1413l-1965-blue&utm_content=2961851&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

Check out this little blue beauty! Made by Kay of Chicago to be sold in the Sears catalog. This thing sounds fat, has super low action, and
(did I mention this?) it's blue! I don't see too many of these around in this condition, and especially in this color.
It matches my vintage powder blue medical cabinet, perfectly, so I'm not really in a hurry to sell it. ]]> Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:50:24 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-melody-maker-1963-sunburst-4?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-melody-maker-1963-sunburst-4&utm_content=2960532&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-melody-maker-1963-sunburst-4?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-melody-maker-1963-sunburst-4&utm_content=2960532&utm_campaign=manhattan-vintage-collection New Gear

An awesome example of what Gibson could do for the budget conscious player in the early 1960's. Solid mahogany body, rosewood fingerboard
(probably Brazilian) on a glued in neck, great sounding single coil pickups.

Here's a rare bird! A TG-25 Tenor guitar with a factory D'Armond pickup.
Evidently, this version was braced differently (to reduce feedback) than the standard model as it was to be used primarily as an electric. Set up to play, and sounds amazing!

Here's one you don't see too often. A 1988 U.S.A made, Fender Stratocaster with a factory equipped Kahler tremelo system, complete with locking nut.
Guitar appears to be all original except for replacement knobs, (were Gotoh tuners stock on this model? Not sure) and includes the original, black, molded Fender case.

Looking to put a little chime in your life?
I give you... a genuine Framus Electric 12 string made in Germany!
Plays really nicely with a wide comfortable, soft "C" shape neck that won't give you that Rickenbacker cramp (in your hand or your wallet!)
and boy does she sound sweet!
Not sure exactly what year this is, but I'm guessing mid to late 60's
Another cool "vintage on a budget" piece for a real player.

As a dabbler in the Lap Steel world, these old Supros are among my favorites. The pickups are really warm and sound incredible when overdriven through a nice tube amp. There was some type of repair done to the plastic pickup cover, and the logo is gone, but otherwise in nice shape. The action is a bit high (LOL) Comes with original case AND legs.
(stand out front with the lead singer, no more hiding in the background)
