Here is a brand new Collings 470 JL Julian Lage signature model, in a lightly aged antiqued sunburst finish. The guitar is a true hollowbody with trestle block construction, with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer hand-rubbed to a gently worn patina (no dings or dents). Pickups are Ron Ellis Ellisonic, and a Bigsby vibrato completes the vintage vibe. Marvelous instrument. Collings sez: "The success of the Collings OM1 JL combined with Julian Lage’s love of electric guitars meant a second Collings-Julian collaboration was inevitable. But following such a highly praised signature model with yet another meant leaving nothing on the table. From its organic beginnings, the process envisioned by both parties was something designed and built from the sound up. The Collings 470 JL is the result of years-long conversations, engineering, testing, tweaking, playing, and listening. And then doing it all over again until it was right. From first sketches through plugging in the final prototypes, every aspect of this model inside and out is the result of a unique approach, technique, and style - both from the builder’s and player’s point of view - culminating in a one-of-a-kind electric guitar experience. In collaboration with our friend Julian Lage, we proudly present the Collings 470 JL." Terrific guitar. Ameritage style hardshell case.

This Fender Custom Shop ‘60s Rosewood Telecaster Closet Classic electric guitar re-creates the iconic all-rosewood Telecaster first produced in 1968 as a special run made for artists like George Harrison, Steve Cropper and other luminaries. It was a regular production run guitar from 1969 through 1972. More understated in voice than the typical ash/alder/maple Tele, it’s a guitar that quickly became legendary. A chambered body with a maple block keeps the weight reasonable (rosewood is a heavy wood), while adding sustain, and the Twisted Tele pickups supply just the right amount of attitude. Pearl dots, Schaller F key tuners, a satin finish and 6105 frets. With hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.

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.

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) -

Here's a Fender Custom Shop 59 Vintage Custom hardtail Strat in NOS sonic blue with a mint green pickguard and nice dark rosewood fretboard. One of my favorite color combos. Fender sez: "1959 saw the advent of several important feature changes to the Stratocaster® including a slab rosewood fingerboard with clay position dots, a three-ply mint green pickguard with 8, 9 or 10 screws depending on the month it was built, and a metal spacer added to the string tree. This hardtail version would have been on the rare side, which ups the collectability and cool factors.

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. The rift-sawn maple neck has a ’60-style “oval C” profile, topped by a round-lam rift-sawn maple fingerboard with 7.25”-9.5” vintage compound radius and 21 medium vintage frets for a comfortable feel up and down.
