ELECTRIC GUITARS

1960's Danelectro Vincent Bell Bellzouki ..........Model 7010, 12 string electric guitar. This is a cool instrument in very good vintage condition with a good bit of weather checking in the finish and normal play wear for an almost 50 year old instrument.  The exception is that there is a chip out of the bridge(see the closeup pic) where the slots for 2 of the strings are missing.  The fix(es) would be replacing the bridge(obviously), cutting 2 new slots in the existing bridge, or simply playing it as a 6 string(or a 10 string!). This guitar appears fully original otherwise.  The Bellzouki has a place in guitar history as the first mass produced electric 12 string guitar, predating Rickenbacker's famous 12 string models.  Designed by Vincent Bell, with his raised logo on the body, this instrument features the famous Danelectro "lipstick" single coil pickup and a "teardrop" shaped body in tan to brown sunburst finish.  The body is built on a Poplar frame with 1/8 inch masonite covering.  The reinforced, bolt-on Maple neck has a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard with an aluminum nut and dot markers.  The bridge is the typical Dano chrome steel plate(adjustable for height) with a Rosewood saddle.  The electronics consist of the single “lipstick tube” single coil pickup, a 3-way tone selection switch, a master volume, and a master tone control.  One on-line review(a comparison test between electric 12 strings (including Rickenbacker & the Fender XII) said:  "The neck profile on the Bellzouki is nicely oval and the fingerboard radius quite flat.  The nut width is also wider than any of the other guitars in this comparison which, when combined with the 24 1/2 inch scale length, makes playing a bit easier while not being a chore as on some acoustic 12-string guitars.  The lipstick tube pickup yields a wonderfully complex sound.  It’s bright, but it doesn’t jangle the eardrums and nerves quite as much as the other models.  The tone control toggle’s effect on the guitar’s sound is subtle and does not provide much tone shaping.  The master tone knob is more effective.  With only one pickup, the Dano is the least versatile of the bunch, but the rich sound more than makes up for any shortcoming in that area.  It’s amazing that a guitar so “cheap” can sound so very good."  A good used gig bag is included...........SOLD

Danelectro Silvertone U1 Black..........Model 1417 electric guitar, same model as the Danelectro U1, in the Black finish. This vintage instrument appears to be 100% original and is in very good to excellent vintage condition, with some edge wear and scratches, but less than expected wear for a nearly 50 year old instrument.   The serial number dates 1960 and the one pot you can see the code on is 24th week of 1960.  Included is a recent used chipboard case.  The description from the 1960 Sears Catalog:  "Thin steel-reinforced necks make fingering easier for you.  Single Pickup Guitar. Modern headpiece. Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. Solid center body. Adjustable bridge.Tone and volume controls plus tone switch."  Specs include the famed 3/8" thick Masonite body with a poplar frame comprising the sides/neck/bridge blocks, the single "lipstick" pick up, "dolphin" headstock, raised Silvertone logo, three way "tone" switch, and tone & volume controls.  One expert says, "These guitars sound rich and multi-dimensional, yet quite twangy and lively - completely unlike the popular Korean reissue Danelectros."  Famous musicians from Eric Clapton to Jimmy Page to Elvis Costello, and many more have all used Danelectro guitars at some point.  This Danelectro-made Silvertone would make a great addition to any vintage guitar collection............$699

Danelectro Silvertone U1 Copper..........Model 1417 electric guitar, same model as the Danelectro U1, in the Bronze(Copper) finish. This vintage instrument appears to be 100% original and is in very good to excellent vintage condition, with some neck wear and scratches, but less than expected wear for a nearly 50 year old instrument.  Please see all the pics below.  The serial number dates 1960.  Included is a good  used gig bag.  The description from the 1960 Sears Catalog:  "Thin steel-reinforced necks make fingering easier for you.  Single Pickup Guitar. Modern headpiece. Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. Solid center body. Adjustable bridge.Tone and volume controls plus tone switch."  Specs include the famed 3/8" thick Masonite body with a poplar frame comprising the sides/neck/bridge blocks, the single "lipstick" pick up, "dolphin" headstock, raised Silvertone logo, three way "tone" switch, and tone & volume controls.  One expert says, "These guitars sound rich and multi-dimensional, yet quite twangy and lively - completely unlike the popular Korean reissue Danelectros."  Famous musicians from Eric Clapton to Jimmy Page to Elvis Costello, and many more have all used Danelectro guitars at some point.  This Danelectro-made Silvertone would make a great addition to any vintage guitar collection............SOLD

Fender American Vintage Series '62 Jaguar.......... Reissue in the rare and no longer available Dakota Red nitrocellulose laquer finish(only offered in the Fender catalog on this model from July 1999 to 2002).  Includes the original deluxe Fender brown tolex hardshell case with vintage gold interior, Fender paperwork, trem arm, and even the cover for the bridge.  Fender says about this model, "As the distinctive early-’60s offspring of the equally distinctive Jazzmaster® guitar, the Jaguar guitar became an enduring favorite that has successfully spanned many decades and genres, be it ’60s surf, ’70s punk, ’80s new wave, ’90s grunge and beyond ...This Fender design classic paired brighter pickups with a shorter (24”) scale length. The trio of sliding pickup selector switches, rotary volume wheels on the upper bout, and chrome hardware and tremolo lock are all signature Jaguar traits, and the removable Fender Mute is a built-in string-damping device created with surf bands in mind."  This guitar is in exceptionally fine condition with a a few light surface indents/scratches & 2 tiny dings on the back, the top in near mint shape, and the neck with one very light indent.  All very minor stuff - it looks, sounds, and plays great.  The new list price on the USA '62 Jaguar is $2,360.00 and it sells for $1,889.99 at the big box stores and internet discounters(and you can't get it in this cool, rare Dakota Red finish) ..........$1,349.00

Fender American Standard Telecaster.......... Crimson Red Transparent finish over a beautifully grained Ash body(a $190.00 list price option).  This was the first year for the new American Standard Telecaster having been introduced by Fender in January 2008.  Included is an upgrade of the case to the top-of-the-line Fender deluxe black tolex hardshell case with plush lined interior(sells for $139.99 at the internet discounters). Please see all the pics below - the Crimson Red finish is darker than I was able to show in the pics of this instrument so I added the last pic - a stock picture from the Fender website to give you an idea of the true color of this guitar.  Fender describes it this way, "The new American Standard Telecaster still has the hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for playability, tone and stability, and now includes great new features including:
* A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles mounted to a stamped-brass bridge plate for increased resonance and sustain.
* A new neck treatment—tinted for a richer presentation, with the Rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky, comfortable satin finish.
* A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance."
The tuners on this Tele have been upgraded to deluxe locking tuners - same as the tuners on the American Deluxe model & with no modification to the headstock.  Other features include Master Volume & Master Delta Tone™ controls(“Delta Tone” system includes high output bridge pickup and special No-Load tone control), sharper ‘52 style body radius, modern “C” shape Maple neck/Rosewood fretboard, 3-ply black pickguard, Bi-Flex truss rod, and 22 Medium Jumbo Frets.  This instrument is in near mint condition with just a some extremely light surface  scratches you have to hold close and turn in the light to see.  The new list on this model is $1,779.99 with a discounted price at the big box stores and websites of $1,349.99 - add the upgraded locking tuners($74.99) and deluxe case($139.99) and it would cost $1,564.97 to duplicate this guitar new
 ..........SOLD

1997 Fender Lonestar Stratocaster ..........Cool and no longer available Teal Green Metallic finish.  This Lone Star Strat model was produced by Fender USA from 1996 to 2000, after which it was renamed the American Fat Strat Texas Special and finally discontinued in 2003.  This Corona, California, USA made Lone Star Strat is NOT to be confused with the current Mexican-made model of the same name. Features 2 Texas Special pickups and a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbucker at the bridge, a modern “C” shape Maple neck(Satin Polyurethane finish), Fender/Schaller deluxe cast/sealed tuning machines, Maple neck/fretboard with dot markers, and white pearloid pickguard and backplate.  The American 2-Point synchronized tremolo with stainless steel saddles.  Has been upgraded with a coil tap for the humbucker - a push push tone knob.  The frets have almost no visible wear. The guitar is nicely set up and plays and sounds fantastic. Includes a Fender molded hardshell case.  The new list on the current "comparable" American Series Stratocaster HSS model lists for $1,589.99 and it DOESN'T have the the higher end pickups, the push-push coil tap, nor is the beautiful Teal Green Metallic finish available...........$749

Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster.........."Worn Finish" with deluxe Fender hardshell case.  This instrument is brand new, taken out of the box just to inspect and photograph(I'm not a Fender dealer so there's no warranty).  From Fender:  "The legacy of Joe Strummer (1952-2002) continues to live on, grow louder and shake up the establishment with the release of the Joe Strummer Telecaster, modeled after some of the beat up and battle-hardened  Telecaster guitars (especially his famous '66 model) he wielded as leader of “the only band that matters”—seminal Brit punk commando unit the Clash.  Designed in cooperation with the Strummer estate, the guitar has a “Revolution Rock” engraved neckplate and a highly distressed “road-worn” treatment that emulates the worn-to-the-wood layers of gray auto primer and flat black spray paint that Strummer famously used. The first 1,500 of these special guitars also featured a limited edition art customization kit with Strummer-inspired stencils, stickers and graphics by designer Shepard Fairey.  Specs include:  Alder body with worn finish, C-shape maple neck with gloss polyurethane finish, Rosewood fingerboard, 7.25" radius, 21 vintage style frets, 2 single coil Tele pickups with Alnico magnets, Vintage style tuning machines, Vintage style 3-saddle Tele bridge with string thru body, Distressed chrome hardware, Volume and Tone knobs with 3-way pickup switch, 3-ply mint green pickguard, 25.5" scale, Revolution Rock neckplate.  This Artist Series Tele is apparently no longer produced by Fender - it had  a new list of $1,500.00 and was advertised at $1,199.99 by the big internet discounters...........$749

2000 Epiphone Moderne.......... Gloss Natural finish over Korina.  This rare model was only produced in the year 2000 at the Korean plant that twice won ‘The Best Quality Award of the Year’ by Gibson Epiphone USA - one web source says(don't know if it's true) that only 300 of these were produced.  This Epiphone Moderne is a reproduction of the famous Gibson Moderne designed in 1957 but apparently never produced until Gibson "reisued" it briefly in the early '80s, and not seen again until this small production run by Epiphone in 2000.  Features include the sharkfin/half V shaped Korina body, a set-in neck with a 22 fret Rosewood fretboard, stoptail piece with tuneomatic bridge, two Gibson-designed humbucker pickups with a volume control for each and a master tone control, a 3-way pickup selector switch, white pickguard with "Moderne" logo, "Gumby" headstock with raised Epiphone logo & 4 string guides, vintage style tuners with "aged" keystone buttons, and gold hardware. Included in the auction is the Epiphone hardshell case pictured.  A couple of comments from owners on the web:  "This is a guitar I wouldn't part with. I love rare guitars and thanks to Epiphone I got a version of the rarest model ever made or NOT made, however you look at it." and "I've always wanted a Moderne guitar, but since the original Gibsons are expensive collector guitars I (thought I'd) never have one. When I found this, I knew I had to have this guitar...it plays GREAT!!  This example is in exceptionally fine condition with very little play wear and would make a great additon to any collection - plus it's lightweight, plays great, and sounds good so it would also make a great every day player.............SOLD

1993 Gibson Les Paul Standard Limited Run..........Candy Apple Red top and gold hardware. According to Gibson, this model was an upgraded Standard for 1993 with the cool finish, gold hardware, and - rare for the Standard model - an Ebony fretboard!  Included is the original deluxe Gibson brown hardshell case with interior "blanket".  Features of this model include the single cutaway Mahogany body with a bound carved Maple top, cream color binding on the top and fretboard, what appears to be a one piece Mahogany neck, smooth Ebony fretboard with trapezoid inlays, gold hardware, Gibson Deluxe tuners with vintage-style "green" keystone buttons, gold "speed" knobs, Tune-o-matic bridge, and stopbar tailpiece.  The "Standard" electronics consist of two covered humbucker pickups with volume & tone controls for each and a 3-way pickup selector switch.  This instrument is in very good condition with some very minor surface scratches and a few indents on the top that you see when you turn it in the light - the color is still vibrant. The back has some belt buckle rash mostly in the clear finish.  Considering it's 16 years old the gold hardware has relatively light wear/tarnish and there's only minor fretwear - No cracks, breaks, or issues, and fully original!  It plays exceptionally well with nice low action, looks cool, and sounds great............. SOLD

2005 Gibson Les Paul Special Faded..........Faded Black finish - This Faded Series version features Gibson humbuckers. The body & neck are Mahogany, with a 1960's Slim Taper neck shape and a 22 fret Rosewood fretboard.

1980 Gibson 335-S Firebrand Custom..........This was Gibson's solid-body version of their popular semi-hollow ES-335TD. Although it's a similar shape, it's actually smaller and thinner, but with the same scale.  Here's how Gibson described it when it was introduced in mid 1980:  "Gibsons new 335-S Series combines a familiar shape with the playability and sustain of other legendary Gibson solid bodies. Shaped much like a diminutive ES-335, these double cutaway instruments allow players added sustain capabilities due to increased body mass and density.  The Custom version of the 335-S utilizes the unmatched power of Gibsons "Dirty Fingers" pickups with a coil tap switch mounted in a sculptured mahogany body. The three-piece mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays and corresponding side dots. Gibsons incredible TP-6 tailpiece insures fine-tuning capabilties with fingertip ease. An outstanding Natural Mahogany finish tops this high energy instrument."  This model disappeared from Gibson price lists by June 1982, so it was only available for less than two years.  Other specs include a three piece mahogany neck, a nut width of 1 11/16", pearloid Gibson logo tuners, and the standard Gibson 24 3/4" scale length.  This particular instrument appears fully original - check the pristine controls cavity(the 3 pots I could read date 1980, plus there is a "1980" stamp you can see in the cavity).  It has play wear, not a relic, but numerous (mostly)surface scratches/indents and belt buckle rash some of which doesn't show up in the pics -  NO breaks, cracks, or repairs.  The frets are still in very good shape and it plays very, very well.  The original Dirty Fingers humbucker pickups, which are among the most powerful ever produced by the Gibson folks, sound great.............SOLD

2007 Gibson USA Les Paul DC Pro..........Root Beer finish over a beautiful AAA flame Maple top(please check all the pics below).  Included is the original Gibson black reptile pattern hardshell case with white plush lining and brown leather pull tab on the accessory compartment. This is the second version of the Les Paul Pro DC model and was only offered by Gibson in 2006 & 2007.  The advantages of this instrument over a "regular" Les Paul include the phenomenally rich tone of the BurstBucker Pro pickups, better upper fret access, and much lighter weight at 7 lbs 13 ozs - plus this guitar has unusually good resonance unplugged which results in a beter "plugged-in" sound.  The specs include the bound AAA flame Maple top with the desired narrow binding in the cutaways, Mahogany back, a '60s slim-taper Mahogany set neck, 22 fret Rosewood fretboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays, 24.75 inch scale, chrome hardware, Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, amber top hat knobs, Gibson deluxe tuners with "aged" keystone buttons, pearloid crown headstock inlay, and BurstBucker Pro pickups with single volume and tone controls plus a three way selector switch.  This instrument is in excellent condition with just some very light surface scratches/tiny indents(none of which will show up in the pics) you have to turn in the light to see.  The original owner's manual, factory checklist, and truss rod tool are included, as well as the original strap buttons which were upgraded to a more substantial pair............$1,399

2002 Paul Reed Smith CE 22..........Cool gloss Purple finish over a carved, nicely flamed Maple top. The CE 22 model is no longer available from Paul Reed Smith.  It has the Wide Fat neck carve that according to the PRS website is "only available on 22 fret models, has the same nut width as the Wide Thin neck but has a big comfortable profile, similar to our Regular neck. Because of its strength and longer 'heel', the Wide Fat neck produces warm tones with lots of sustain."  Overall this instrument is in very nice condition with nice flame in the top and great color.  There are some mostly tiny surface indents and a few very light surface scratches that really don't show up in the pics, but absolutely no belt buckle rash.   The action is excellent, it plays very well as you'd expect, and sounds great with the Dragon II pickups.  PRS said about this model, "The CE 22 has a slightly shorter, stiffer neck and the full tone of our 22 fret models. Add our Dragon II pickups and you have a guitar with a quality of tone and playability far in excess of its price tag."  This instrument is factory equipped with covered Dragon II Pickups(stock on Custom 22s, CE 22s and Standard 22s).  In the bridge position is the Dragon II Treble: an alnico pickup with McCarty like tones and a little more output.  In the neck is the Dragon II Bass: a rich bass position humbucker with enough output and clarity for any style of playing.  The controls consist of Master Volume and Master Tone controls and the 5-way Rotary switch for both single coil & humbucker tones.  Other original features include:  the patented PRS Tremolo System with push-in arm, black "speed" knobs, rock Maple neck, 22 fret Rosewood fretboard having abalone dot inlays, satin black headstock finish, and PRS locking tuners. The original PRS black hardshell case(in great shape) is included along with Dunlop straplocks..............SOLD

Very clean all around, no problems, and it sounds great! These vintage high-quality Japanese made instruments are getting harder to find, but you can get this cool collectible guitar for less than the price of a new Chinese made Epiphone or Guild with similar features.  Included is a padded gig bag in good condition ..........$199

Guild GAD-40C..........High Gloss Natural finish.  This model is no longer produced, but here's what Guild had to say about it, "The Guild GAD-40C was designed utilizing a body shape that is the most popular acoustic body shape in the world and has been used for over 70 years. To accommodate modern playing styles, we added a Venetian cut-a-way for ease in reaching the higher registers of the guitar. We use solid Mahogany for the back and sides, a solid spruce top that features scalloped bracing, and then joined the one piece mahogany neck with the traditional dovetail neck joint.  For other appointments on the GAD-40C we used Indian Rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge.  We continued the use of high quality tone woods by featuring ebony for the pearl dot inlayed bridge and strap pins, then added wood bindings, and Grover Rotomatic tuning gears. For the best in tone and intonation, we installed a bone nut and bone compensated saddle. For the finishing touches we inlayed classic pearl fingerboard inlays and then pack the instrument in a wooden arched case."  Here's what some owners on the web had to say about the GAD-40C:  "I spent 3 months trying a lot of very expensive guitars, and still can not believe this guitar sounds and plays this good. This was the best guitar I could find under $1000, and it had the most features." and "...it was between 4 guitars: The Guild GAD-40, Taylor 710ce, Alvarez MD-90, and a Gibson Working man's J-45....in the end the Guild won out for no other reason than the tone was nearly exactly what I want to hear." and "I found three(acoustics) that had the sound I was looking for. The Larrivee D03, the Taylor 310, and the Guild GAD40C. They all seemed very close in sound...Bottom line is that the Guild had the sound I was looking for, included all the extras, and was a lower price than the others."  This instrument is in overall excellent condition with just some very light surface indents/scratches you have to hold close and turn in the light to see - looks new from a few feet away!  It plays very well and sounds great.  Included in the auction is the Guild Deluxe hardshell case, case keys, and truss rod tool.............SOLD

BASS

1988 Fender American Vintage ‘57 Precision Bass Reissue..........Gloss Black nitrocellulose lacquer finish, which is no longer offered by Fender on this model.  The penciled neck date is "10-25-88" - according to Gruhn's book the body wood was changed to Alder in 1989 so this would be one of the last of the original Ash body reissues in a solid color.  This instrument is in a light "relic" condition having a significant amount of actual play wear(not simulated at the factory).  The frets are in very good shape but there are dings/indents/scratches - keep in mind that this is a 21 year old bass and has become, in its own right, a "vintage" bass.  Please check out the pics below. Included is the original Fender tweed covered hardshell case. Fender says about this exceptional bass, "Since its introduction in 1951, the Fender Precision Bass guitar has dramatically influenced the way we play and hear music. In the booming half-century since, the Precision has affected almost every imaginable genre of popular music.  Our American Vintage ’57 Precision Bass pays tribute to this landmark instrument with accurate detailing, including electronics and hardware — from the split single-coil pickups to the vintage tuning machines and nitrocellulose lacquer finish. A true Fender classic." Other specs include an Alder body, Maple “C” shape neck, Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish(body & neck), Maple fretboard with 7.25” Radius & 20 Vintage Style Frets, a ‘57 Precision Bass Split Single-Coil Pickup, Volume & Tone controls, Vintage Style reverse tuning machines, Synthetic Bone Nut, Nickel/Chrome hardware, and Gold Anodized Aluminum pickguard. This cool looking bass plays very well with that legendary P-Bass tone, and it's in the cool and no longer available Black nitro finish.  With a new list of $2,450.00 and a big box/internet discount price of $1,959.99, we've priced this one to sell...........SOLD

1990 Fender USA Precision Bass Plus..........
Beautiful and rare Blue Pearl Burst finish with the original Fender molded hardshell case.  Designed by George Blanda, who was the senior designer at Fender during that period, this is one of the first American-made Fender basses to feature a 22 fret neck.  This required Blanda to slightly redesign the body shape for balance, and deepen the cutaways for access, giving it a distinct but still unmistakably Fender appearance. Other features included a solid premium Alder body, a one piece Maple neck with a Rosewood fretboard, Schaller deluxe die-cast tuning machines, 3-ply white pickguard, and Schaller Elite fine-tuning bridge. The unique electronics consist of Silver Lace Sensor pickups - Precision-style in the middle position and Jazz-style at the bridge, a 3-way pickup selector toggle switch, a master volume control & master TBX tone control, and a series/parallel push-push button for the neck pickup(much like the current S-1 switching).  Please check out all the pics below.  This bass has an N9 serial number as you can see in the pic but it's a 1990 model, as this model was only produced from 1989 to 1994............SOLD

Fender Sting Precision Bass..........Sunburst finish.  Description from Fender:  "From chart-topping '80s world domination in the Police to his prolific and musically adventurous solo career, Sting has always brought the bass out front with his forceful combination of four-string muscle and finesse. His namesake ’50s-style Precision Bass features a vintage-style single-coil pickup, contoured body with 2-Color Sunburst finish and the King of Pain's signature in the block pearl inlay at the 12th fret." Upgraded with a Seymour Duncan Baselines pickup and Badass Bass III bridge. Includes a gig bag............$649
