1961 Gibson ES-335TDN Natural
Exceptionally rare Gibson ES-335TDN from 1961, in stunning original condition.

Here, we are touching on something that is almost sacred for all those who have Gibson deeply at heart. Since its introduction in 1958 as the founding model of a new generation of "made in Kalamazoo" instruments, the Gibson ES-335 unanimously represents the quintessence of the semi-hollowbody electric guitar, no matter the musical habits of those who play them. For good reason, it is the culmination of an entire...]]>

An exceptionally beautiful 1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom which belonged to Richie Faulkner, in very good condition.

This Black Beauty comes straight from the second period of Les Paul production, which started again in 1968 after a 7-year hiatus. True to its lineage, this instrument sports the Gibson logo with the 5-piece split-diamond inlay on the headstock, the block inlays on the ebony fretboard, its two Patent No. labeled humbucker pickups with that classic 60s Gibson sound, and of cours...]]>

A nice Di Mauro St-Louis Blues “petite bouche” jazz model, made in Paris in the 1940s.

Presented in the catalog as a model designed especially for professionals, the St-Louis Blues is Di Mauro’s response to the 14-fret jazz guitars produced by Selmer, nicknamed “Petite Bouche” because of the small oval mouth on their top.

This guitar was built by and bears the stamp of of Antoine di Mauro, one of the great names in Parisian lutherie of the first half of the 20th century – like many fell...]]>

A beautiful Special Chorus De Luxe jazz guitar, made by Antoine di Mauro in Paris around 1950.

The Chorus is probably the most recognizable of the models produced by the Di Mauro family, which found it's way into the hands of countless French musicians throughout the 40s and 50s, from Henri Salvador to Jacques Brel, including a young Sacha Distel whose first guitar is said to have been a Chorus. Back in the day, they were a more affordable alternative to the Selmer-made instruments, althou...]]>

Splendid concert guitar built by English luthier Paul Fischer, bearing its original label on the bottom, signed and numbered #501, manufactured in Oxon, United Kingdom in 1983.

Here is a guitar full of grace and refinement, very light-weight and made from sumptuous woods. After working alongside luthier David Rubio, several of whose guitars produced during this period of collaboration bear a "P.F." mark, Fischer founded his own workshop in 1975, where he continued in the tradition of 20th ...]]>

1954 Gibson Les Paul Junior
1954 Gibson Les Paul Junior, in exceptional original condition.

Here is a Junior in a condition which is increasingly uncommon to come across, from the first year of production, one of the most simple yet elegant electric guitars ever designed. As its name suggests, the Les Paul Junior was the starter model in the line bearing the American musician’s name in the 1950s, with a single P-90 pickup in the bridge position and a simple combination bridge/tailpiece stop-bar. For Gibson, the goal ...]]>

1977 Jacques Favino Gitan #560
Superb Favino model n°10 Gitan bearing a Jacques Favino label, manufactured in 1977, in very good condition.

This instrument was created just a few months before Jacques Favino’s gradual withdrawal from his workshop in 1978, after three decades of self-employed activity as a luthier-artisan – times are changing in the street workshop de Clignancourt, as evidenced by the signature of his son Jean-Pierre Favino on the label established in the father’s name.

Less then 2 years after the creation of the Filter’tron, Gretsch starting equipping their seminal 6120 model with this new breed of pickup as a remplacement for the DeArmond single coil used up until that point.

An exceptional Gretsch 6130 Round Up, in very good condition.

A true cowboy’s guitar that has a lot more to it than what first meets the eye. First of all regarding the aspect of the guitar, one could say it would be perfectly suiting in the hands of a rodeo halftime show performer: the nicely aged Orange lacquer finish, the bridge saddles reminiscent of the shape of spurs, the belt buckle adorning the tailpiece depicting a scene of riders returning to camp at sunset, the leather strap eng...]]>

1969 Fender Telecaster, in very good condition.

This late sixties model has been superbly preserved since it left the Fullerton factory over half a century ago. We find on the guitar a number of characteristics tying it to the beginnings of the CBS era, which started 4 years earlier when the audiovisual giant bought up Fender: the new logo in black and bold letters which, according to Fender lore, was designed in order to facilitate the legibility of the brand name on television screens, t...]]>

Fender Telecaster Factory Bigsby from 1968, in very good original condition.

A fine example of a late ’60s Telecaster with a factory fitted Bigsby tremolo, perhaps one of the more interesting ideas CBS was able to implement after its acquisition of Fender three years prior. Paul Bigsby had designed a version of his « True Vibrato » specifically for the Telecaster as early as 1953, but Fender did not adopt it at the time and it was not until 13 years later that CBS-Fender brought it up to d...]]>

1969 Fender Esquire, in excellent original condition.

This beautiful and rare model comes from the same line as the Fender Telecaster – the two are almost identical, with the exception of their electronics. Where the Telecaster has 2 single coil pickups, the Esquire only has the bridge pickup with an alternate wiring scheme: in the 1st position of the selector, the signal passes through a fixed low-pass filter with the volume control, in the 2nd position the signal passes through a volume ...]]>

1965 Fender Stratocaster left-handed model, certainly a unicorn among the already scarce L-serial Fenders of the mid 60s.

Stunning 1964 Fender Stratocaster, in very good original condition.

Today, the mere mention of an L-series Stratocaster is enough to arouse the desires of all fans of this model, both for their nostalgic aspect since they are the very first Fender guitars to be directly imported into France in the early ’60s, and for their prominence in a period that would see the Fullerton-based manufacturer be taken over by broadcast-giant CBS in January of 1965, marking the end of small-scale manufactur...]]>

This guitar may seem rather unusual to modern day musicians, but this format stems from a long line of instruments, of which harp-guitars may be latest representative.
