"You are looking at a very cool vintage piece. This is the Roy Bachanan owned/played/signed '52 Fender Telecaster. 25.5" scale. 1 5/8" nut width. 7.8 lbs. Roy Buchanan is one of the most important guitarists of the last several decades. His gorgeous earthy tone, his fiery blues, and fantastic Tele bends have inspired legions of guitarists everywhere. To get our hands on one of his actual guitars was such an incredible experience. You can feel the mojo coming off this one when you hold it in your hands. This is such a gorgeous example- pine body, perfectly played in...this beauty absolutely resonates bringing forth Buchanan's infamous Tele tone. As this was one of Roy's personal guitars, he modified it a bit- '67 Tele neck with jumbo fretwire, 80's pots, brass nut...all done while chasing the perfect tone and feel. When you plug this in, you immediately get that 'worn in sneakers' vibe- immediately comfortable with that great earthy tone Buchanan is known for. From nashville cleans to overdriven blues- just an incredible piece of history and an amazing player. This auction includes the Fender tweed hardshell case, paperwork from the the gentleman that personally purchased the guitar from Roy, and Roy's signature right on the top bout of the body. This is an amazing opportunity for a fan, collector, or player..."

1979 Gibson THE LES PAUL Holy Grail Extremely Rare Limited Edition



via this auction where you'll find more pics.

"Here is the holy grail. For sale is one of the rarest Les Pauls you'll ever see. This is literally THE LES PAUL, and this one has all the bells and whistles. This has, hands down, the best craftsmanship you will ever find on a Les Paul. Over the course of the three years these were in production, only 77 were made. 59 of those were in natural finish, and only 18 total in wine red finish, making this an amazing find. This is still in unplayed condition with the original protector "chainsaw" case and the original Gibson paperwork included. This is number 66 out of 77 total. The last 11 they made were natural finish, meaning this was the absolute last The Les Paul made in wine red finish. This boasts a carved flamed maple top, maple back, all rosewood plates, rosewood pickguard and knobs, rosewood outer bindings, red-stained inner bindings, gold-plated hardware, ebony-rosewood-ebony fingerboard, abalone block inlays, pearl button tuners, pearl plate on back of headstock with limited edition number, and 2 super humbucking pickups. This is quite possibly the most impressive Les Paul you'll ever come across. The back of the headstock is stamped second and I honestly could not tell you why, nor did Gibson ever say why anything they stamped second. Your guess is as good as mine, because this is perfect in every way..."


Vintage 1964 Gibson SG in Cherry w/ Hard shell case

"This guitar is one of those great SG’s that comes along just every once in a while. From the serial number we can attribute her date of manufacture to 1964.This SG is cherry red, and has that unmistakable Angus tone.

These pickups are just plain screamers. They read 7.20 k ohms for the neck pickup and 7.21 k ohms for the bridge pickup. The potentiometers are date coded for the 52nd week of 1965…perhaps this guitar was held back.

The body of this guitar is in very nice shape. A few dings here and there, but nothing substantial. There was a minor repair done to the heal of this guitar. It is barely visible to the naked eye and does not affect the playability at all. The

cherry finish is still very beautiful and has some nice checking on the face.

The neck! The neck of this guitar is awesome. It is not one of those flat skinny necks, yet it is not one of those baseball bat necks either. Just perfect and plays like butter. The original frets, tuners, and truss rod all work as intended. All the plastic, as well as the Maestro vibrato are original and work as intended. There are 2 screws which the heads have been sheared off on the low E side of the vibrato lyre tail-piece. It does not affect the sound or the playability.

The guitar weighs in at a scant 7 pounds and will ship with a later hard shell case."


1959 Gibson Byrdland Jazz Guitar



via this auction where you'll find more pics.

"Up for sale today is this awesome rare 1959-1960 Gibson Byrdland Guitar with PAF Pickups. The guitar overall is in excellent 100% original condition. Serial #A34xxx. The frets and fret board are in very good condition with plenty of life and play left. Pickups sound great and overall this guitar is a tone monster. The gold plating has worn on the pickup covers from normal play. I don't think you will find a nicer sounding or looking guitar for the money. If tone matters, don't miss out on this one. The sunburst body is in great original condition as can be seen in the pictures. Guitar has tons of vintage mojo and there are no major body/neck cracks or breaks. There is some shrinkage on the neck binding that has resulted in a couple of cracks. Please see pictures. Comes complete with original Gibson Hardshell case w/ key and original hangtag with matching serial #, directions for the bridge, pickups and directions for placing the bridge. The case is made by Lifton and features the famous pink interior. It is in solid condition but does have some duct tape around the edges..."

Vintage 1961 Gibson Les Paul SG Guitar in Cherry w/ OHC

"This all original and very minty 1961 Gibson Les Paul/SG Standard features the classic sideways vibrato and two screaming PAF (Patent Applied For) pickups. It will ship in its original and rare brown with pink lining hard shell case. At 48 years of age, this rocker still has the same original vibrant cherry finish that it was born with…it hasn’t faded to brown as many of these guitars have done.

The two blistering PAF humbucking pickups give this guitar the killer sound that you just can’t copy, especially with any new guitars. They read 7.66 k ohms for the bridge pickup and 8.45 k ohms for the neck pickup, both measured at the output jack. As you know, the potentiometer date codes are on the sides of these potentiometers. We were able to see only one date code clearly, and it reads the 40th week of 1961. The solder and all electronics are original and untouched.

This is one of the finest examples of a 1961 Les Paul /SG we have ever seen. It has a few very minor scratches, but they are hardly noticeable. The tuners and truss rod work as was intended. The neck is straight and fast and has that beautiful flat profile that makes these guitars such great players and so sought after. The all original frets are almost new…it’s truly amazing."

"We purchased this very nice example of a 1954 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top from actor, martial artist, and musician Steven Seagal. This baby has everything …it’s all original, has two screaming P-90’s, a great neck, and will ship to you in its original Lifton, brown with pink lining, five latch hard shell case. There is no provenance accompanying the guitar.

This guitar is all original. The tuning machines and truss rod work as was intended. The frets are original and have some wear but there is still plenty of playing time left. There is some very typical checking in the finish on both the front and back. Overall, this is a very nice looking guitar.

This classic Gold Top has two very well matched screaming P-90 pick ups. The neck pickup reads 7.60 k ohms and the bridge pickup reads 7.79 k ohms, both measured at the output jack. The potentiometer’s date codes are on the sides so we could only clearly see one of them which reads the 19th week of 1953. The solder joints are factory.

This Gold Top weighs in at 8 ½ lbs and will be professionally packed with care."


Vintage LEFTY 1970 Fender Maple Cap Stratocaster Guitar Sunburst w/OHC MINT!!


via this auction where you'll find more pics.

"Here we have an almost new, virtually unplayed left- handed 1970 Fender Stratocaster in a vivid sunburst finish. As if that wasn’t rare enough, this one owner guitar has got a maple-cap neck as well. FYI…a maple-cap neck is very similar to a Fender neck with a rosewood finger board. The maple neck is routed to accommodate the truss-rod and then the maple finger board is attached to the top of the neck. There is no “skunk” stripe that is normally found on all maple necked (fingerboard) Strats.

What can we say? This guitar was given to the original owner when she was still a young girl by her father. She had been doing well with the acoustic guitar and her Dad figured that an electric would be the next step. After trying it for a very little while she realized the electric just wasn’t for her and so…back in its case and under the bed it went for the next 40 years.

This guitar has all of its case candy…the Fender warranty/instruction booklet, key for the case, two inspection slips, Fender cable, and Fender leather strap. There is no noticeable fret wear other than a tiny bit on the first fret. The neck is straight and the truss rod and tuners work as was intended. The body is immaculate but for a small dent on the back of the guitar about one inch below and slightly to the right of the tremolo cavity cover. There are some very minor scratches.

The electronics in this southpaw are untouched. The pickups read 5.47 k ohms for the neck pickup, 5.60 k ohms for the middle pickup, and 5.55 k ohms for the bridge pickup, all measured at the output jack. Two of the potentiometer codes read 21st week of 1970 and one reads 14th week of 1970. This beautiful guitar weighs in at 8lbs 4 oz. The plastic Fender badge on the case has had the little tail of the “r” cracked off. Other than that, the case is all original and quite minty."
