Here is a gently preowned 2024 Fender Custom Shop American Custom Strat in amber natural. Love the wood grain on this guitar. Built in April 2024. Save some bucks. Great guitar. As-new condition except one teeny dent on the back of the headstock that I can't even get to show up on camera. With case, COA, strap, etc. While Fender's Custom Shop is widely known for their vintage re-creations, the American Custom Series is the Fender of modern times - and then some. With striking finishes combined with contemporary features and detailed craftsmanship, new American Custom models are not only beautiful to behold, but also highly functional in a pure Fender fashion. Here we have a beautiful American Custom Strat with an ash body, roasted maple birdseye neck with a 9.5-12 compound radius, 6105 frets and a comfortable slim 60s Style Oval C carve (.790 - 9.30), strap locks and a contoured heel. A striking aged amber natural finish shows off the grain and is nicely accented with a tortoise pickguard, shell inlays and nitro lacquer. Handwound Custom Shop Fat 64 pickups have vintage mod #2 wiring, a bone nut and 57 style deep body contours. She sings. With hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity. Condition: Mint; Body: Ash; Roasted birdseye maple , AAA rosewood fingerboard, 60 Style Oval C (.790-.930), 9.5-12 compound radius; Nut: 1.650; Color: Aged amber natural; Pickups: handwound Custom Shop Fat 64; Scale: 25.5; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course) -
I love small bodied acoustics, and this is one of my favorites. This C10 from Collings offers great tone in a small, comfortable package. Crisp trebles, substantial lows, and beautifully balanced. A great blues guitar, strumming guitar, and equally responsive to some dynamic finger picking, thanks to its narrow waist and small upper bout for focused response, and pre-war scalloped bracing. This example is customized with a 1 3/4 nut, tigerstripe pickguard and a gorgeous dark sunburst. Ebony fretboard, pins and bridge, bone nut and saddle. Collings says this is the ideal guitar for players who switch between electrics and acoustics, because the neck carve is the same rounded profile that you’ll find on the venerable Collings 290 electric, and the heel is small and rounded for excellent access to the upper frets. I agree. Big tone in a small package. Bravo. Lifetime warranty and hardshell Collings case. Serial #34753 Condition: New; Top: Select sitka spruce; Back and sides: Mahogany; Neck: Mahogany, medium-fat C neck carve; Nut: 1 3/4; Width: 14 3/4; Depth: 4 1/4; Scale: 25.5; Binding: Grained ivoroid; Purfling: b/w wood; Rosette: Ivoroid; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course) -

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.

Pearl dots, Schaller F key tuners, a satin finish and 6105 frets. With hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.

Here's a Fender Custom Shop NOS 52 Tele in Nocaster blonde, with Fender's "flash coat" lacquer finish and 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. Also includes an extra Fat 50s modern Tele control plate if you prefer the more modern 3-way switching.

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. This guitar features a hand-selected two-piece alder body and a rift-sawn maple neck with a 1959 "D" profile, a vintage compound-radius (7.25" - 9.5") AAA rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium vintage frets.

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 sez: “Gibson Custom Shop’s 1959 Les Paul Standard is not just a tribute to those priceless original models — it’s a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop’s expert team — a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans.” Condition: Gloss, near mint; Body: Mahogany; Color: Iced tea burst; Pickups: Custom Buckers; Scale: 24.75 -
