1964 Gibson ES-355

Call
This 1964 Gibson ES-355 is gorgeous in its original Sunburst finish paired with gold hardware! Gibson replaced the sideways vibrola with a “Lyre” vibrola after 1962, and by 1964, the neck profile moved towards a comfortable rounded C shape. This guitar beautifully showcases both of these specs, and they feel and sound wonderful! We love the meaty sound of these balanced humbuckers. The former...

1965 Gibson ES-345 XII

Call
How cool is this original 1965 Gibson ES-345 XII in Sunburst with a factory installed large crown inlay on the headstock?! This is the first ES-345-XII we’ve seen, as they normally used ES-335 specs with the 12-string configuration. The original owner might’ve figured the bigger headstock needed larger ornamentation, and the large crown definitely stands out more than the standard sized crown...

1975 Gibson Les Paul Standard

Call
This 1975 Gibson Les Paul Standard in its original Sunburst finish may very well be the only Les Paul with full-sized humbuckers shipped that year! The 1970s was an interesting time for Gibson, with the Standard disappearing from catalogs from 1972-76. Most, if not all, Les Paul’s made during this time were labeled “Deluxe” with a waterslide decal on the back of the headstock, but the option for...

1975 Gibson Les Paul Custom

Check out the Brazilian Rosewood top on this original 1975 Gibson Les Paul Custom!

1963 Fender Stratocaster

Call
This 1963 Fender Stratocaster is just ridiculously cool in its original Blue Sparkle finish! This well preserved example shows thick blue sparkles complimented by some hints of green to give this gem an “aqua” appearance.

1965 Fender Stratocaster

Call
This 1965 Fender Stratocaster comes in its original and rare custom color, Teal Green Metallic! 1965 was the first year Fender offered this shade as a custom color option after it appeared on Ford and Lincoln vehicles in previous years.

1965 Gibson Firebird III

Call
Don’t let the patina fool you; this original 1965 Gibson Firebird III is not green – it’s aged Silver Mist Poly! This guitar was very clearly played in smokey bars or exposed to sunlight in some way, as the aging of the clear coat is shockingly consistent! You can still see traces of the silver showing through in some of the wear spots throughout the guitar. Even with the wear, this piece...

1968 Fender Telecaster

Call
The wear and patina of this original 1968 Fender Telecaster’s Blond finish reminds us of that 50s Blackguard feel but for only a fraction of the price! This instrument was someone’s pride in joy and most likely spent some time in smokey bars to give the Blond finish an incredible patina. The neck finish is played down for a silky smooth feel, and the frets still have plenty of life left. Fender...

1967 Fender Jaguar

Call
If you love the look of CBS-era appointments, then you’ll love this 1967 Fender Jaguar in Candy Apple Red. Famously, this custom color saw two iterations of undercoats under a translucent red top coat.
