72 Tele Thinline

$5,950.00

If you're a Tele player and have wished for humbuckers on your guitar, your ship has just come in. Here's a very rare lefty limited edition 72 Thinline Tele with CuNiFe humbuckers. Super fun guitar. Fender sez: "1972 saw the introduction of a new Telecaster® Thinline model that took Fender’s venerable workhorse guitar into bold new territory in both sound and style. Most prominently, two big new high-output humbucking pickups designed by famed pickup maker Seth Lover were housed in a curvaceous new pickguard, below which was mounted a bobbed Telecaster® bridge.
The Limited Edition ’72 Tele® Thinline honors that year’s model, featuring a hollow two-piece select alder body with f-hole and Relic lacquer finish. The quartersawn maple neck has a ’60s-style “oval-C” profile, topped by a 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with 21 jumbo 6100 frets.

The pickups are wound to the original spec, with 12 adjustable “cunife” (copper-nickel-iron) magnets—just like the originals—for hum-canceling high output grit. Other features include a pearl pickguard, three-way blade pickup switch, bobbed Tele bridge, Schaller® “F” tuners, bone nut, and “wing” string trees. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity."

Condition: Relic; Body: Ash; Neck: Quartersawn AA flame maple, AAA rosewood fingerboard, 60 Style Oval C profile (.850 – .920), 9.5 radius; Nut: 1.650; Color: aged pink paisley; Pickups: Wide range CuNiFe humbuckers; Scale: 25.5; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course)

2012 Hummingbird TV

$3,595.00

Here's a well cared for 2012 Gibson Hummingbird True Vintage in excellent condition, classic sound, lovely "Cali Girl" case (brown with pink lining), gold tulip tuners and a VOS finish. Hard to find a lefty like this in such nice condition. Has aged and opened up nicely. Unmistakeable Gibson tone. Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square shouldered acoustic, the Hummingbird was embraced by everyone from Keith Richards to Gram Parsons and quickly became a staple in folk, country and rock. I love the short 24.75 scale on this guitar, the bass is big and round and the guitar has that unmistakable Gibson sound. Sitka top, mahogany back and sides, rosewood bridge and fretboard, parallelogram block inlays, and a gorgeous heritage sunburst. Built in Bozeman, Montana. A classic. Condition: Excellent; Top: Sitka; Back and sides: Mahogany; Neck: Mahogany, rosewood fretboard; Nut: 1.725; Width: 16; Depth: 4 3/4; Scale: 24.75; Binding: Ivoroid; Purfling: w/b/w; Rosette: w/b/w

Huss and Dalton
T-OM R torrified

$5,515.00

Here's a new Huss and Dalton Traditional OM in east Indian rosewood with a thermo-cured (torrified) sitka spruce top, Gotoh 510 tuners and a handsome tweed case. Always one of my favorites OMs, and the build quality is second to none. Everybody knows that like a fine wine, well-kept acoustic guitars get better with age. The passage of decades cures the wood through exposure to light and air. Huss and Dalton now offers sitka spruce that has been “torrified,” or exposed to a careful heating process that achieves the same results that occur naturally over time. The wood appears darker, as vintage guitars do, and it is lighter and stiffer. But how does it sound? Amazing, in a word. Condition: New; Top: Sitka spruce, torrified; Back and sides: East Indian rosewood; Neck: Mahogany; Nut: 1 3/4; Width: 15 1/8; Depth: 4 1/8; Scale: 25.4; Binding: Tortoise; Purfling: b/w/b; Rosette: b/w/b; Lefthanded guitar (of course)

Gibson
59 Les Paul HM

$8,995.00

This 2022 70th Anniversary R9 started life as a regular Gibson Custom Shop Historic, but was sent to Historic Makeovers to be completely reworked into a masterpiece. It received their Deluxe package, finished in aged black with a Brazilian rosewood fretboard, and was delivered in August of 2023 to the original owner, who liked it so much he is now doing a trio of 58/59/60 Historics in matching finishes, so this one has become available. A Gibson aged R9 with Brazilian goes for almost $20,000 new ... so save yourself a ton of money -- and get a more nuanced and correct build, to boot. "The Deluxe package includes a re-carved top to vintage spec, reshaped neck to vintage “C” shape, and use hot hide glue to install a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with correct binding ledge and inlay routs. We inlay the fingerboard with our exclusive 1950’s style cellulose nitrate inlays, and install frets. The fingerboard and guitar body are bound with our Royalite binding and the fingerboard binding edges are rolled. The guitar is completely refinished with aniline dyes and unplasticized nitro-cellulose lacquer in a vintage correct finish. The package includes a Vintage Patina with weather-checking and aging. We also re-stamp the serial number in a correct 50’s typeface." We can pretty much guarantee that you are not going to see another guitar like this one. With original Lifton style hardshell case, hang tags, 70th Anniversary badge, and both Gibson and Historic Makeovers certificates of authenticity. Original tuners were replaced with Grovers. Condition: Aged by Historic Makeovers; Body: Mahogany; Color: Aged black; Pickups: Custom Buckers; Scale: 24.75

2023 LTD 51 Tele HS

$3,895.00

You don't have to look further than Keith Richards' fabled Tele to hear the benefits of a humbucker in the neck position. Here's a gently used Limited Edition Fender Custom Shop 51 Telecaster HS relic. Fender's description:

Combining authentic Fender feel with a favorite player’s modification, the Limited Edition ’51 HS Tele Relic adds fat, high output sound to the traditional twang of a Tele. The hand-wound ’50-’51 “Crushed” Blackguard single-coil bridge pickup is joined by a Seymour Duncan® Seth Lover SH-55 humbucking neck pickup for a one-two punch of tone. We customized a dual-stack HS Tele wiring to create the perfect sonic balance between the two, incorporating 250k/500k potentiometers on the volume and tone controls to ensure compatibility. The two-piece off-center ash body wears a Relic flashcoat lacquer finish, giving it the look and feel of a well-loved instrument that’s seen many a stage and tour bus. Sporting a dark tinted Relic flashcoat lacquer finish, the riftsawn maple neck sports a “10/56 V”-shaped profile that’s ideal for all playing styles. For ultimate comfort and playability, we topped the neck with a 7.25”-9.5” compound-radius fingerboard and 21 50085 medium-vintage frets. The vintage-style Nocaster bridge features compensated brass saddles for authentic Fender tone and superior intonation. Other features include a 3-way pickup switch, single-ply Black phenolic pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and round string tree.

Collings
002H Traditional

$7,800.00

I love 00 guitars -- the tonal balance and perfect size for sitting on the couch or performing. Here's a beautiful 12-fret Collings 002H with the Traditional package. With Collings’ typical terrific projection and great volume, this guitar will amaze you with its voice. Beautiful build, 12-fret, slotted headstock with Waverley tuners, a gorgeous style 2 sunburst, Traditional package, short scale, pre-war scalloped bracing, Traditional neck carve, ebony fretboard and bridge, and tortoise/wood binding. Impossible to put down. Lifetime warranty and hardshell case. Serial # 3397 Collings sez: " The new Traditional Series variations of our classic 12-fret 00 take a vintage-inspired approach to voicing and construction designed to produce a strong fundamental response and open feel, with rounder highs and less overtone complexity compared to the signature Collings sound. The combination of an open slotted peghead, shorter 24 7/8" scale length, and pyramid bridge paired with our ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish and newly redesigned neck support make for a woody and articulate voice that exemplifies everything we love about the T-Series. With a longer upper bout than its 14-fret counterpart, the 00 offers rich, balanced tone with excellent note separation, making it a fine choice for fingerstyle guitarists, singer-songwriters, or anyone else looking for a balance of comfort, volume, and responsiveness."

58 Strat relic

$4,850.00

Here's a sweet 58 relic Strat in natural blonde with my personal favorite Fat 50s pickups. Fender sez: 1958 was the final year of the original one-piece maple neck before Leo Fender switched to a glued-on “slab” rosewood fingerboard, which significantly changed the look and tone of Fender instruments. Many players swear by the one-piece maple for its tone and stability, which is what makes 1958 such a sought-after year for the Strat. The ’58 Strat Relic is a nod to that year in all its glory, with several custom mods. A two-piece select alder body wears a Relic lacquer finish, while the resonant one-piece quartersawn maple neck has a comfortable 1954-style “soft V” profile, 9.5 fingerboard radius and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets. Custom Shop hand-wound Fat ’50s pickups are connected to Vintage Modified #2 wiring with Tone-Saver bleed circuitry and five-way switching, creating a thick, balanced tone at any volume. Other features include a single-ply eggshell pickguard, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity. Condition: Relic; Body: Alder; Neck: 5/4 quartersawn maple 54 Strat Soft V (.850-.980), 9.5 radius; Nut: 1.650; Color: Natural Blonde; Pickups: handwound Fat 50s; Scale: 25.5; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course)
