Here's a Fender Custom Shop NOS 51 Tele in Nocaster blonde, 51 modified NoCaster wiring -- first position is the bridge pickup and you can use what is normally the tone pot to blend in as much neck pickup as you like. Position 2 is the neck pickup, position three is also the neck pickup with some of the highs rolled off, not the dull vintage "bass" setting, but very tasteful and useful, great with overdrive. Pro tip: Park the pickup selector between the first and second position and get both the neck and bridge pickup together. Big ol' 51 U neck carve, but this one is still nice and light ... just under 7 pounds. Fender sez: Experience the legendary tone and vibe of the 1951 Nocaster® with this meticulously crafted reissue from the Fender Custom Shop. This Time Machine model features a lightweight 2-piece select ash body finished with Offset Seam in Aged Nocaster® Blonde for that coveted vintage look. The rift sawn maple neck has a comfortable 1951 "U" profile that feels just right in your hands. For classic Tele® twang, it's loaded with Custom Shop Hand-Wound '51 Nocaster® pickups. The 3-position blade switch gives you bridge pickup alone, neck pickup alone, and neck pickup with a preset deep rhythm tone. Additional controls include a master volume, bridge/neck blend (in position 1), and knurled chrome knobs. From the nitrocellulose lacquer finish to the 3-saddle bridge with brass saddles, this Tele® is spec'd out just like the originals. It comes complete with a deluxe hardshell case so you can take your vintage-accurate tone machine anywhere. Feel history come alive when you plug in the '51 Nocaster® NOS from the Fender Custom Shop.

It’s probably safe to say that I’ve helped more lefty customers build their dream Paul Reed Smith Private Stock guitars than anyone else. (I can build one for you, too.) Way back when (2013), I managed to convince the Private Stock department to build me singlecut guitars, paying the development cost to do so, and ordering three out of the gate. This one was the first ... an SC-245, with a gorgeous one-piece quilted maple top, in aquamarine, with a solid Brazilian neck, Brazilian fingerboard, Brazilian headstock veneer, and stone azurite chtysacola inlays with 10 karat gold outlines. The pickups have been upgraded to the venerable 58/15 LTs, and they are individually splittable by pulling the tone controls. Nice and light, just under 8 pounds. With original case, which has some miles on it. The guitar is in nice condition, some light play wear and a couple of small dents on the pickup covers. A little piece of lefty Private Stock history. Getting these singlecuts built opened the door to building five Hollowbody 2 guitars, and now they will make me pretty much anything. Condition: Excellent; Body: African ribbon mahogany with a one-piece quilted maple top; Neck: Sold Brazilian rosewood, Pattern carve, Brazilian fretboard; Pickups: PRS 58/15 LT; Scale: 24.5; Lefthanded guitar (of course) -

Here's a new Collings I-35 LC Vintage in aged jet black. I’ve been lucky enough to play some very fine electric guitars, but in my mind there isn’t a finer semi-hollow guitar out there than the Collings I-35. And now they've made it even better: Collings sez: "After several years in development and numerous prototype iterations, we are excited to introduce an I-35 like you've never experienced before — the new I-35 LC Vintage. Drawing inspiration from the best instruments of the 1960s, our newest offering in the I-35 lineup provides an exceptionally loose and organic feel, achieved through a ground up reworking of everything from its laminate and center block recipes to its neck construction. Custom Throbak pickups and Bumblebee capacitors bring its open, acoustic response to life, expanding its versatility and proving that, although it looks every bit the part of a time-tested instrument, its appeal is more than just skin deep." Semi-hollow construction: In order to achieve the loose feel and dynamic response of a long-played vintage instrument, we fully reengineered our laminate and center block recipes for the I-35 LC Vintage. Electronics: Era-appropriate while delivering clarity at every volume is a set of Throbak ESG-102B humbuckers tweaked to a custom Collings spec specifically for the I-35 LC Vintage, all complemented by a set of Luxe Bumblebee capacitors. Aged Finish and Hardware: Every I-35 LC Vintage sports our aged finish and aged hardware, an in-house developed process designed to give a truly time-worn look and feel. An altered truss rod curve and carefully chosen materials specific to the Vintage based on grain orientation, weight, and density are just a couple of the aspects that contribute to its expressive and organic feel and tone. Vintage Appointments: Gold or black reflector top knobs and a wide-bevel 3-ply pickgurard complement the aged finish and hardware and three vintage-inspired color options. They just don’t get any better. Lifetime warranty from Collings and a deluxe hardshell case. Serial # I35LC252475 Condition: New, aged; Body: Maple laminate; Neck: Mahogany, rosewood fretboard, 12 radius; Nut: 1 11/16; Color: Aged jet black; Pickups: Throbak; Scale: 24 7/8; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course) -
I don't get a lot of basses here, but I like this one a lot, it's a 1975 Fender Precision bass with some modifications. Structurally it's fine, cosmetically in very good condition, some honest dings, wear and chips as you would expect on a 5o year old instrument, a Fender USA gold bridge (original nickel bridge is in the case), gold Schaller tuners, gold knobs and La Bella nylon tape wrapped strings. This one is a player, and it's set up beautifully and sounds great. Custom pickguard has a small crack near one screw hole. Holes remain from the removal of the original tuners, which no longer accompany the bass, as well as where the thumb rest was removed (also absent). Original knobs are included. This one's a player bass, at home in the studio or on the road, and it has that classic P Bass sound in spades. Love the strings, super comfortable and have that deep vintage tone. With case which looks to be the original, plenty of wear but still serviceable. Condition: Very good; Body: Alder; Neck: Maple; Color: 3 color burst; Scale: 34; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course) -

1967’s Summer of Love and Flower Power movement influenced mainstream fashions worldwide, and Fender was on board with its new Paisley Telecasters. Oddly enough, the guitars became more popular with rockabilly and country western players (they were adopted most famously by Tele master James Burton) rather than the flower children that helped inspire them. These guitars have earned a special place in Fender history, and the Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1968 Paisley Tele models are faithful recreations of those original instruments. The two-piece select alder body wears an NOS lacquer finish with WLS undercoat over the famous Paisley or Blue Flower motif.

1966 was the first full year of the larger headstock on the Stratocaster—a significant enlargement that notably changed the look of the guitar and, many believe, enhanced its resonance. Under new CBS ownership since the previous year, Fender production was still top notch, and the company was still producing highly sought-after, high-quality instruments.

The two-piece select alder body wears a polished but slightly aged Deluxe Closet Classic lacquer finish, while the quartersawn maple neck has a ’66 “oval C” profile, 9.5”-radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo (6150) frets for classic comfortable play.
