With the right setup, ready to rockabilly or bluegrass all night long. I cannot ship, so in-store sale only.

Recent neckset by the Martin factory. Plays and sounds great. Only downside is the guitar strap reaction on the back, and a small reaction spot on the top. Top is very nice, as are the back and sides. No cracks, all original.
Non original hard case (Martin thermo-plastic).]]> Fri, 11 Nov 2011 20:36:24 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/martin-d-18-1953-natural-2?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=martin-d-18-1953-natural-2&utm_content=2971726&utm_campaign=the-string-collector http://www.gbase.com/gear/martin-d-18-1953-natural-2?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=martin-d-18-1953-natural-2&utm_content=2971726&utm_campaign=the-string-collector New Gear A sweet guitar, marred only by much strap reaction, from long ago, on the back, and a tiny spot, barely noticeable, on the top. Crack-free, and a recent neckset by the Martin factory. Plays and sounds very nice. Non-original Martin thermo-plastic case included, or a good quality regular dreadnaught case, your choice.]]> Fri, 11 Nov 2011 20:36:24 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/heritage-h-150-2011-vsb?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=heritage-h-150-2011-vsb&utm_content=2971722&utm_campaign=the-string-collector http://www.gbase.com/gear/heritage-h-150-2011-vsb?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=heritage-h-150-2011-vsb&utm_content=2971722&utm_campaign=the-string-collector New Gear

A very nice factory second, at a great price. An over-zealous bufffer operator made a tiny error. I am sure he regrets it, and doesn't make very many. However, it's your gain. $1795 plus shipping buys it, and the original factory case is included in the price. Great Seymour Duncan '59 pickups included.]]> Fri, 11 Nov 2011 20:28:15 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-eb-2-1969-cherry?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-eb-2-1969-cherry&utm_content=2960586&utm_campaign=the-string-collector http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-eb-2-1969-cherry?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-eb-2-1969-cherry&utm_content=2960586&utm_campaign=the-string-collector New Gear A very nice bass, but it is marked "BGN" on the back of the headstock.
Most likely because of a fumble by someone in the factory. See the pictures for an illustration. Only the back is effected, top and neck are excellent. Very little fading of the cherry finish, and very little play wear.
Sounds good, plays better. All original, including the soft case.
Buy it for $1495 with free shippiing via UPS, in the CONUS.]]> Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:47:55 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-eb-2-1969-cherry-1?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-eb-2-1969-cherry-1&utm_content=2960587&utm_campaign=the-string-collector http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-eb-2-1969-cherry-1?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=gibson-eb-2-1969-cherry-1&utm_content=2960587&utm_campaign=the-string-collector New Gear A very nice bass, but it is marked "BGN" on the back of the headstock.

All are in very nice shape and in playable condition. I am asking $450 to $750. Two have original chipboard cases, and the other has a newer chipboard case.]]> Tue, 04 Jan 2011 18:09:30 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/kalamazoo-gibson-oriole-1937-tan?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=kalamazoo-gibson-oriole-1937-tan&utm_content=2804156&utm_campaign=the-string-collector http://www.gbase.com/gear/kalamazoo-gibson-oriole-1937-tan?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=kalamazoo-gibson-oriole-1937-tan&utm_content=2804156&utm_campaign=the-string-collector New Gear

A rare Gibson Kalamazoo Oriole lap steel, with the original case. Very nice condition and playability.

Decked out with the Lollar P-90s, this little light-weight gem really rocks.
At right about 8 pounds, it will be easy on your body, too.
Sounds great.]]> Wed, 11 Aug 2010 19:40:53 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/heritage-h-535-2010-wine-red?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=heritage-h-535-2010-wine-red&utm_content=2698940&utm_campaign=the-string-collector http://www.gbase.com/gear/heritage-h-535-2010-wine-red?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=heritage-h-535-2010-wine-red&utm_content=2698940&utm_campaign=the-string-collector New Gear

Another beautiful factory second at a righteous price. Seymour Duncan's sweet Seth Lover pickups, chrome hardware, factory hard case included.

A beautiful example of an early early 50's Gibson flattop. Years and years ago, the top was oversprayed by Gibson, and included the bridge. Don't know why, but the bridge is original, saddle replaced with Micarta. At the same time, I believe they reset the neck. I am the second owner of this guitar, having brought it from the original owner, as I did the Gibson CF100E also listed on my website. Very unusual, as it has a natural top. I have seen one other 50 SJ with a natural top...]]> Sat, 12 Jun 2010 15:59:16 Z http://www.gbase.com/gear/morgan-monroe-m-15-2008-mahogany-natural?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=morgan-monroe-m-15-2008-mahogany-natural&utm_content=1834386&utm_campaign=the-string-collector http://www.gbase.com/gear/morgan-monroe-m-15-2008-mahogany-natural?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_term=morgan-monroe-m-15-2008-mahogany-natural&utm_content=1834386&utm_campaign=the-string-collector New Gear Nice D sized flattop, with a good sound, especially for this price range.
Mahogany back, sides, and neck, with a spruce top. Great finish and fret work make these guitars a terrific buy. All solid woods]]> Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:34:30 Z
