1982 Fender Stratocaster

$1,895

There are a lot of Strats in the world but this has gotta be one of the cooler ones. Not only does it come in a great custom color but it's an early "Dan Smith" era Fender. Dan Smith is a big name in Fender land, having steered their ship into the modern era. He was brought in to help them regain their early magic and managed to do just that. He introduced both the AVRI line and helped return...

~1985 B. C. Rich STIII

$995

At the turn of the 80s the Super-Strat craze was in full effect, with everyone and their mother throwing their hat into the game. But when it comes down to playability and just plain bad-assery none could match what was coming out of Bernie's shop in California. This ST III still plays as fast as anything out there with tons of frets life left. It looks like it got some heavy whammy use as one of...

1972 Gibson LES PAUL CUSTOM

$4,495

The Les Paul Custom is hands down the "most" electric guitar ever. The most elegant. The most playable. It's also the meanest and can handle anything you throw at it. They have varied a little in features over the years but no doubt that the early 70s LPC's are totally genius. T-Tops pickup ARE the sound of late 60s and 70s and these sound killer. There are no breaks or cracks but the tone pots...

H.S. Anderson Apple Guitar

Call

If you're checking out this HS Anderson you probably already know the pedigree. This "Apple" is no guitar to laugh at, it's all business when you lay some licks on it. Full 24-5/8" scale, wraparound bridge, maple body, maple neck and dark rosewood board. It rings out like the very best guitars do and you'll be hard pressed to put it down. Original hard case included.

1959 Fender Precision Bass

$4,995

When Fender updated the Precision bass in 1958 they probably thought they were just making a couple of tweaks. Instead, they created what has been one of the defining instruments of the 20th century and beyond. For many, there is no substitute. 60 years is a long time for an instrument to be orbiting the sun and going in and out of bars night after night. Along the way it lost of its original...

1970 Fender Stratocaster

$12,995

It's not every day that a collector's grade, real-deal 1970 Stratocaster walks in your door! The sunburst is killer. The pickups positively sing. It's early enough that it has a 4-bolt neck and is free of the dreaded "bullet." Plus it has stamped steel saddles and staggered pole pickups. All these little details are important ingredients in the tonal cocktail of Leo's most famous creation. And...

1968 Gibson ES-345

$5,995

What an all around beautiful guitar! Truly, the photos don't do it justice, and the tone of this vintage Gibson ES-345 is to die for. The 345 is their amazing semi-hollow 335 with some very note-worthy upgrades. Not only do you got the standard manufacturer upgrades like gold-hardware, and the oh-so-classic split parallelogram inlays, but the 345 has some extra tricks up its sleeve. Most...

1967 Fender Coronado XII

Call

The lush sounds of a 12 string cannot be matched, and a vintage Fender is hard to resist, making this Coronado quite the guitar. It is an interesting piece of history as Fender's first archtop, first hollowbody, and first guitar to feature a more Gibson control layout. It's just about as clean of a 50 year old guitar as you'll find. The only real wear is some marks in the lacquer from a guitar...

1966 Gibson Melody Maker

$2,995

Here's a cool vintage Gibson that you don't see every day. The Melody Maker went through a few different iterations over the years but none was cooler than the iconic SG shape (and there's no cooler color for an SG than Pelham Blue). If you're a Gibson nerd like us you know most of these done up in Pelham Blue Metallic have natural necks so this is a bit of an oddball. Like a lot of players I...

~1960 Kay Swingmaster

$1,295

Lovely old Kay hollowbody. This old Swingmaster has the great "Kleenex box" pickups, some fancy checkerboard binding (which really highlights the great body shape), and a killer tobacco burst finish. It's got a big but not too big 15.5" lower bout. Full 25.5" scale.

Silvertone Silhouette 1478

$795

There's no doubt that Harmony/Silvertone borrowed a little from Fender's Jaguar and Jazzmaster when creating the 1478 Silhouette. Not only does it have a similar off-set body shape but it comes with a very surfy vibrato that is perfect for adding color when you need it. The pickups are also Fender-y, but a much more raunchy variety. These silver-foils are the archetypal garage-rock pickup. This...

~1960 Kay Swingmaster

$1,195

For as long as you hunt, you'll always find new variations of Kay guitars. This vintage 60's Swingmaster is a real gem. It has a great sounding set of "Kleenex box" pickups and the checkerboard binding is always a classy touch. The headstock shape is pretty unique too, kind of in a Supro vein. Full 25.5" scale neck and a big-but-not-too-big sized neck. We had a fight here as to whether this one...

~1960 HOFNER H173

$795

There's almost no better representation of quirky 60's guitars than this oh-so-cool Hofner Model 173. Yep, the body is indeed wrapped in a textured white vinyl tolex similar to what you find on an amp. Suuuuper cool. The vibrato is very surfy, similar to what you'd find on a Fender Jazzmaster or Jaguar so you can get things very dreamy and spacey. Surfy is also a pretty good description of the...

1965 Fender Jaguar

$9,995

When you buy a vintage guitar, you're buying more than a guitar. Every nick, scratch and mark is an echo of an epic gig, a marathon songwriting session, and hours in the garage. Its story and yours merge, as you write the next chapter (and if your name is "Murphy" then you might be related to a former owner). A lot of guitars of this vintage get modded time and time again, but this awe...

1965 Epiphone Wilshire

$3,495

The Gibson-built Epiphones of yesteryear are still some of our favorite vintage guitars to be found. They were only around for what seems like the blink of an eye but they had so much style and tone that we still keep coming back to them. The Wilshire comes loaded up with a very nice sounding set of mini-humbuckers that have all the bite of a full sized humbucker just without some of the bottom...

1965 Epiphone Coronet

$1,995

Epiphone's mid-60s Coronet is a work of art. This one evolved from the earlier version, making the body a little curvier, and adding the cooler-than-cool "bat-wing" headstock. Original pickup and wiring harness (pots date to early 65). Kluson double-line strip tuners. The body was painted over and sanded back, and probably over-sprayed again at some point along the way. Great vibe to it though....

1965 Epiphone Coronet

$2,595

Epiphone's "bat-wing" Coronet is one of the coolest electrics ever rolled out. It's one of Gibson/Epiphone's first double cutaway designs and can be considered a curvier, sexier LP Junior. It shares many feature with the LP and SG Junior of the day with its wraparound bridge/tail, single P-90 pickup, and all mahogany construction. It's also one of their earliest production models with a 6-in-line...

~1960 HOPF Saturn 63

$1,495

The Hopf Saturn is where old meets new, taking a good amount from traditional German lutherie and marrying it with an eye towards the atomic age and outer space. Yep, it's a fully hollow archtop with a great looking vintage sunburst, totally covering in chrome and metal trim with a funky off-set body shape. And it all works! The coolest thing might be the clear plexi headstock overlay where the...

1960 Silvertone Model 1429

$1,295

The vibe and attitude of an old Harmony or Silvertone just can't be replicated. You've gotta get the real thing. You've gotta go back to the source. With our shop being located in Chicago, the former department store/mail order capital of the USA, that source is our backyard. We've certainly seen our fair share of these over the years and never get tired of them. If a design works, it works, and...

1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior

$8,995

What a perfectly sublime example of the electric guitar as its most pure! This real-deal vintage Gibson TV finished Junior is a glorious example of the no-muss-no-fuss, instant satisfaction of a single pickup guitar plugged into an amp. No breaks, no repairs, no mods (do side dot fret markers count?), just attitude and responsiveness. As is pretty common on these, some new strip tuners were...

1981 Gibson Flying V Bass

$5,495

The cleanest example you will find! It's "new old stock" with original case, paperwork, and the protective plastic is still on the pickguard. There is some yellowing of the finish and there are some marks on the headstock from a hanger but it is otherwise as good as it gets. This beauty would be the centerpiece of any collection. PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR TO PURCHASE.

1975 Fender Precision Bass

$2,595

1975 Fender Precision Bass Black

1978 Fender Jazz Bass

$2,495

This is one of those indestructible Fenders that can double as a weapon! It's got some weight to it. Nice natural play wear throughout. Typical 70s/80s upgrades: Duncan/Basslines Quarter Pounder for some extra kick along newer pots and a brass nut. Nice and low action, plays real easy. We'll set it up however you want. Super vibey and full tone. Sustains for dayyyyys.

1971 Martin D-18

$2,495

After only a few minutes with this beautiful sounding D-18 you just can't put it down! It's as rich and soulful as they come with a very comfy soft-v shaped neck. It responds just as nice to a delicate touch as when you're really laying into it. The spruce/mahogany combo is our favorite on a dreadnought. There are no cracks or breaks to be found and the neck is in good shape, straight and with...

2003 PRS Single Cut

$1,895

This guitar is a great player with a very industial look. The pickups sounds great too. Be the first one on your block with a pewter PRS.

2012 Gibson Les Paul Standard

$2,195

Is there a more iconic guitar out there than Gibson's amazing Les Paul Standard? Probably not. They're still making them as good as ever and this 2012 Cherry Sunburst model is a dream and will definitely scratch your itch for a good LP. It's some nice and tasty flame in the top and has a comfy medium "60s" C shaped neck. There are some scattered marks in the paint but overall it is very clean. No...
