Roland Alpha Juno 2

$449

Used in good condition. Comes with power cableAh the 80s... the era when synth manufacturers decided we only need one knob. Despite the lack of immediate control over parameters (unless you had the PG-300 or some other modern 3rd party controller) the Alpha Juno series are great sounding synth and often get over looked due to their interface. Single DCO (Digitally Controlled analog Oscillator)...

Roland EF-303

$249

Used in good condition. Item works well but the cap to the power button is missing. Using a pen or small screw driver you can easily push it in though.Late 90s-early 2000's was an interesting time for electronic music. The rise of the GROOVEBOX! And leave it to Roland to make a sequenced groove based multi effects processor, that is also a bass synth, drum machine, and vocoder.

E-MU Systems Proteus

$99

Used in good conditionIf you need dynamic orchestral sound... or just want to recreate the X-Files theme... this is the rack module for you!

1991 Gibson SG Special

$1,095

Here's a real one of a kind Gibson SG that might just be possessed by the devil. This one dates to 1991 which was a really great time period for Gibson. They might not still be around today if not for the quality of these guitars. This one is pretty rare with an ebony fingerboard and maple neck. The TOM and tuners looked to be more recent but the pickups and pots are original. The pickups both...

Alexander Marshmallow

$199.99

“Marshmallow?” That’s a silly name for a pedal, we know.But it totally fits. Sweet, fun, and probably best consumed in small doses, our Marshmallow makes weird gooey sounds with your favorite instruments.At its heart, Marshmallow is a pair of pitch shifters that we combine and modulate in interesting ways with a variety of magic tricks. Want smooth chorus? No problem. How about juicy organ...

~1950 Silvertone Aristocrate Model 1365

$1,595

With our shop being located in Chicago we certainly see our fair share of Silvertones, Kays, Harmony's and the like. There seems to be an inexhaustible supply of variations of the form too. This Aristocrat is a big one (17" lower bout) and while we've run across a few sunburst ones, we've never before seen one in silver metallic, and it's a stunner. The clear coats of lacquer have given it a...

2014 Fender 1956 NOS Stratocaster

$5,995

Definitely the best Strat in our shop, and maybe the best of the last 5 years (and that's including countless vintage Fenders and boutique guitars). Yep this one comes from Master Builder Jason Smith and instantly impresses. The guitar is super lively and light weight... there's definitely some good wood here. Modern 9.5" radius and the most buttery smooth and easy playing action. Medium sized...

Partscaster T-Style Baritone

$895

Just as the title says this is MIM Tele with some nice upgraded parts. I don't think Warmoth is doing these 30" baritone necks anymore so this is your chance to get one and on a totally kick ass guitar. It has been custom fitted to this body. Hand wound pickups from a local luthier. Really nice color on both the body and neck. It really looks vintage. Compensated bridge saddles for better...

Tiptop Audio Mantis

$299

Used in good conditionWith Mantis, we took our years of experience with Eurorack to create a low-cost case that makes the Eurorack modular synthesizer look, work, and feel like a professional instrument. Mantis is an instrument that is at home on stage, touring, or in the center of the studio.Mantis has two rows of 104HP for you to rack your modules. It comes fully powered and assembled, just...

Korg Minilogue

$359

Used in really good condition. Comes with box and power supplyOne of the most affordable and portable analog poly synths out there, and most importantly...it sounds great! Two analog VCOs with wave shaping for each of the wave forms are fed into and analog Lowpass VCF and the accompanied with features like arpeggiator, polyphonic sequencer with 4 modulation lanes, and delay make it pretty...

Korg Monotribe

$179

Used in good condition. Comes with power supply.One of the first budget friendly options Korg made for the recent analog resurgence. There is a mono synth, and simple drum machine on board and it has a built in speaker and can run on batteries. Pretty fun little travel synth!

GJ2 Hellhound

You know it's killer if it's got Grover's name on it. This is a killer take on the classic T-style guitar. Hot pickups. Big frets. Compensated saddles. Locking tuners. Killer all around axe.

1963 Gibson J-50

$3,495

Now here's a guitar you just can't put down! Yep, this Gibson dread does not disappoint. Great neck, nice size and the paint is perfectly broken in so it feels great. It has that characteristic Gibson "chunk" when you lay into it that no other guitar seems to possess. It still has the original adjustable bridge which gets swapped out on a lot of guitars. We love em... if it was good enough for...

Electro-Harmonix Cathedral Stereo Reverb

$149

Used in good condition. No power supply includedLush and spacious sound stereo reverb with some familiar classics that EHX has given some more features to tailor the reverb to your liking

Caroline Guitar Company Somersault

$199.99

From seasick wobbles to glitchy bleep-bloops and “I think I can” huffs and puffs, the crazy sounding stuff was actually the easy part for us. So once you’re done maxing out different settings to hear what kinds of bizarre wowie-zowie sounds you can make with this thing, we encourage you to explore the subtleties of how each control interacts with the others, and the remarkable range of sounds...

2015 Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass

$699

If you missed Fender Japan's Aerodyne bass the first time around, don't make same mistake twice! This is one of the best and most original takes on Fender's other classic bass. It's got a P-bass pickup for added punch. It's got a super contoured and sleek body. It's also super light so you can rock this thing all night long. 7.7 lbs! It's in great shape with the worst of the wear being a couple...

Ensoniq ESQ-1

Used in really good condition, some minor skuffs on the body. Battery has recently been replaced.Winning combination of digital oscillators through analog filters and tons of modulation! There is also a polyphonic sequencer that can run multiple voices or external gear.

E-MU Systems Emulator II

$3,995

Bueller? Bueller?Everyone has probably heard or seen this sampler at some point in their life (whether they knew or not) Probably most famously used by Depeche Mode, but its was the prime choice for many bands in the 80's. It had great sounding sample libraries to cover most of your bases. Or you could sample your own sounds in. It recorded at a whopping 8-bits with a total of 17.5 seconds. That...

2018 Gibson Custom Historic R8 Les Paul

$4,500

This 2018 Historic R8 Les Paul has got to be in the running for best guitar in the shop. Rare cherry red, factory relic'd, nice and light and resonant (8.8 lbs), and it's a Custom Shop so you know it plays like butta! Neck tapers from 0.90" at the 1st fret to 1.05" at the 12th. Super vibey and reminds us of George Harrison's famous "Lucy" Les Paul.

~1960 Silvertone U1

$895

An all time classic that needs no introduction. This single pickup U1 is just about as good as they get, and super clean as well. There's a subtle dusting of metallic powder or sparkles in the paint and it has been customized with the initials of a long-ago owner. Frets in great shape too so this one can go right to work.

1989 Gibson Explorer

$1,895

This might be my favorite guitar in the shop right now, and we've got some pretty amazing stuff. It's always hard to articulate when a guitar just has that "it" factor or what sets it apart from the rest. You're just sitting there, on the internet, where I get to hold this amazing guitar in my hands. It's got plenty of real-world wear throughout, a testament to its "number one" status. This is...

1975 Gibson Les Paul Custom

$3,995

Everyone should own a Les Paul Custom. It's the guitar that can do it all. It crazy to think that Gibson stopped making them at one point. This one has certainly gotten out there and lived in its 40+ years. There are small marks and light scratches but nothing major. As with a lot of guitars of this vintage it has evolved with its owners. The gold hardware was swapped out and the pots date to '76...

~1960 Danelectro Bellzouki 12-String

$1,995

The 1950's and 1960's will always be the golden era of the electric guitar. Not because the guitar has faded at all, but those were the "wild-west" days of the electric solid body, when no one really knew what it was, so it could be "anything." Anything went, and so went Danelectro with some freaky designs. Some became standards, and then there's the Bellzouki!This one looks about its true age...
