1980 Hondo Chiquita Travel Guitar

$695
This guitar plugged into a VHT Pitbull 50-watt combo, got me yelled at within 30 seconds. It could be my typically not-so-good playing or the fact that my neighbors are probably tired of hearing me play "Walk All Over You," by AC/DC. In any event, I was well-pleased with the crunch and punch this guitar gives off and I shut everything down, happy with what I heard and with two sets of grumbling...

2022 Gibson '56 Reissue Les Paul, Murphy Lab

$4,695
We have fallen in love with the relic guitars that are coming out of the Murphy Lab of late and it appears that Tom and his midnight elves are working overtime to produce some really outstanding guitars. We chased this particular Les Paul for a good minute and it was well worth the wait once it arrived at the Elk cave. In both looks and performance, it exceeds expectations from the first...

1981 Vantage VA900B

$945
Since I'm in Florida, I don't get the full eclipse blackout, but we do have a weird haze that has quieted the birds for a while. It's ironic that on this day, I'm listing what is referred to as "The Devil Bass" from the Matsumoku factory in Japan. If there's anything those guys did well, it was to produce odd and unusual instruments. This particular bass does not disappoint. Folks, we do not...

2022 Fender Jeff Beck Signature Stratocaster

$1,600
Every once in a blue moon, I'll get writer's block and cannot come up with a description other than "plays like butta" or "the pickups sound all jangly and sparkly." Such was the case with this Beck Strat and so, when all else failed, I went back to the source. I plugged in "Wired" and went to work cleaning and restringing this guitar. By the time I was through "Head For Backstage Pass," I was,...

2013 Fender Telecaster Thinline Select

$2,850
If you had told me that I could have a handful of Tele Thinline thunder at only 6 lbs, 3 oz, I probably would have shaken my head in disbelief, but but with this offering, my disbelief has been proven unfounded. This is one exceptional guitar and with the addition of the flamed Maple top, it has more snap than an unpaid lion tamer. Those highly sought-after bell tones are ever present along...

1998 Taylor AB-3

$3,295
1998 Taylor AB-3 11% off
If I could use one word to describe Robert Taylor's AB bass series, it would be exquisite. These basses represent, in my opinion, the pinnacle of his guitar-making abilities and I'm personally glad he used a bass guitar to exhibit his vision and skills. These are incredible instruments that are among the most innovative and expressive in his arsenal of inventory. This AB-3 is an extraordinary...

1997 Fender CS 50th Ann. Diamond Dealer Relic Stratocaster

$6,195
Throughout Fender's storied history, there have been several periods that one could argue were their best. If you are a 1950's fan, you might say that those '50s guitars were the best that Fender ever produced while a '60s guy might argue that his '63 Strat is the complete bombaroonie. I, instead will make the argument that the Cunetto Relics produced between 1995 and 1999 were some of the finest...

1997 Rickenbacker 660/12TP Tom Petty Signature

$6,550
1997 Rickenbacker 660/12TP Tom Petty Signature $300 off
If you're around my age and you think back to who was on the radio during your high school years, chances are Mr. Petty would be near the top of that list. He, along with the likes of The Eagles, Aerosmith, Bob Seger, Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd rang in those hazy days of '70s Rock and we listened to many of their songs over and over and over for years. Sadly, Tom is also on the list of artists I...

Kendrick Texas Crude Gusher, 50-Watt

$2,095
You are seeing this rare Texas Crude 50-watt Gusher as we purchased it- with the channels jumped. I plugged it up and was immediately impressed- this amp has more than its share of balls. But, to be sure it did what it was supposed to do (and because bass players don't know squat about two-channel guitar heads,) I called in the calvary, the one known as "El Jefe" and had him put the amp through...

2017 PRS McCarty 594, 10-Top

$3,295
"Attention to detail." If you can say one thing about Paul, it's that he pays great attention to detail and that attribute is heavily reflected in the craftsmanship and sheer beauty of this McCarty 594. I know Paul in a peripheral manner: my business partner and I have, in the past found and bought 2 Custom 24s, serial numbers 5 0001 and 5 0002. Even at that very early stage in his career, Paul...

2019 Fender '60s Vintera Stratocaster MIM

$825
Maybe one of these days, Reverb will add the term "near mint" to their description choices because this Vintera Strat is about as close as you can get. It's like that perfect beautiful woman that walks down the street- no matter how hard you may try, you just cannot find a single flaw in her and yep, she's "perfect." That doesn't happen very often in life, but this guitar is exactly like that...

1985 Schecter Genesis Bass

$1,050
As I was looking at a booth full of Alembic, Modulus, Fodera and other high-end basses, I asked the guy, "Do you have any '80s or '90s basses? You know, just simple Rock basses that aren't five figures?" The guy almost smirked at me, but said, "I got a couple under here you might want, " and reached under his table. He pulled out this Genesis bass and the '77 Ibanez Black Eagle bass you'll soon...

2023 Steinberger Spirit XT-2 Bass, Lefty

$399
2023 Steinberger Spirit XT-2 Bass, Lefty 10% off
We purchased three new Spirits at the Fall Philadelphia Guitar Show and they are all beautiful and quality guitars. This lefty XT-2 bass was the third piece. They are "as neu" and have never been sold to the public- we are merely the temporary caretakers. Talk about getting the full Steinberger experience at about 1/10th the price of an American-made guitar- these will all do that for...

1995 Fender CS Cunetto Relic '57 RI Mary Kaye Stratocaster

$5,200
Weight- 7 lbs, 12 oz Neck depth at 1st fret- 0.908" Neck depth at 12th fret- 0.994" I will venture to say that in the world of reissue Fenders, the Cunetto relics rank at the top of the list. The realistic treatments applied by Vince Cunetto set them heads and above the rank-and-file Custom Shop guitars made during that period. A perfect example of the above would be this incredibly...

Gibson Gen 3SG Case

$145
Gibson Gen 3SG Case 24% off
Here's the case you need if you want to ship or house your '80s Gibson SG. It has been cleaned and detailed as much as possible and the case is structurally sound. The plastic latch nib on the butt end of the case has broken off and it looks as if there was an attempt to reglue it, but alas, it's no longer there. That said, the other two latches work correctly and keep the case closed as...

1994 Fender Custom Shop 40th Anniversary Stratocaster

$9,295
1994 Fender Custom Shop 40th Anniversary Stratocaster 23% off
In terms of the many Stratocasters we've seen come out of the Custom Shop over the years, this 40th Anniversary example ranks right at the top of the list. It is obvious from first glance that every inch of this instrument was thought out and constructed at the highest level of dedication to craft and it's fairly rare to own a guitar that's so beautiful, you are afraid to play it. It is special...
