All the way from 1958, we have a Gibson ES-175D. This sunburst hollowbody beast is crafted entirely from Maple, with a Mahogany neck and a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. The ‘D’ in the name designates dual pickups, both of which are original PAF humbuckers. This guitar is all original and carries all the mojo and vibes you’d expect from an instrument of this vintage, especially in the condition it’s in. It’s no surprise that this was the go-to axe for many of jazz guitar’s greats.

Add to Compare1963 Fender Stratocaster
Here’s a potent brew of elbow grease, vintage tone, and honest play wear. This 1963 Fender Strat has seen some miles, and then some, in its almost 60 years of music-making. The finish appears refinished in the 1970s and now quite worn, and the neck has a lovely combination of velvety finish at the back and worn smoothly down to the wood on the sides. Our repair folks have gone over this one with a fine tooth comb, in the process replacing the frets as well as fabricating a new pickguard from scratch and relic’ing it to perfectly match the Alder body’s play wear and patina.
It plays like vintage, grass-fed butter, with juicy tones to matchOther keywords: fender guitars, leo fender, strat, kluson, solidbody, stratacaster, 3-way

Hardtail with three-way switch on top, minimal marks and play wear, this is the real deal.
Add to Compare1973 Fender Tele Custom Ash, Mocha Finish Rare Condition!
The pickups in the 70’s Fender Telecaster Customs are legendary for their great tone. Utilizing CuNiFe threaded magnets, this guitar gets a great clean and clear sound in the neck position and has a strong and not brittle sounding bridge. If you love Teles but think they’re too bright, this may be the guitar for you, it is not dark sounding, but it lacks the harsh ice-picky tones some Teles produce.
This 1973 Tele Custom, in Mocha finish, is in rare condition with very little wear for it’s age. This beauty has a significantly thinner neck than its ancestors from the 1950’s. In all, it’s a fun vintage guitar that offers a unique take on the classic Fender sound!

Add to Compare1965 Gibson ES-330TD
The ES-330 remains one of the all-time favorite instruments from the Gibson factory. The fully hollow, thin-line electric guitar matches the classic curves of Gibson’s archtops with slim sides and lightweight construction (here weighing in at just over six pounds), and this example from 1965 is set up with the original P90 pickups the voice has added warmth and presence that shines through in a wide range of settings. The ES-330TD is fantastically versatile, and the setup here is smooth and glassy. Perfect for both fingerstyle Jazz and a harder Blues attack, and everything in between. The original sunburst is intact and pairs nicely with the aged bindings and unbound F holes. Original beveled pickguard installed, as are the reflector cap knobs. Nylon saddles and tailpiece, bridge assembly also original.

Add to Compare1958 Gibson ES-175
Man oh man, this is a fun one. We’re talking about a virtually all-original 1958 Gibson ES-175 (right down to the curlicue pickguard) with the original Gibson Lifton case, PAF pickup, tuners, bridge—on and on. We’ve gone over this one with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything is in order, and we’re very happy to say this one is on the up and up! It plays like butter with a chunky C neck, and the PAF screams when you dig in, and purrs when you don’t. More mojo than you can shake a pick at! It’s in amazing condition to boot (but please, keep those boots away from this vintage ES-175).

Add to Compare1962 Gibson Barney Kessel Maple/Spruce
There’s a lot to like about this 1962 Gibson Barney Kessel model. Its famous namesake was of course one of the most highly regarded jazz guitarists of his era – playing on countless recordings by the very biggest names in the business – including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Milt Jackson – and countless others.
The Kessel model is a nice jazz box with a slim neck and super fast action. It can get a wide range of tones from its humbuckers, but to our ears it fares best when played on the clean side. That said, a bit of overdrive sounds really great with this vintage beauty too. Its attractive double Florentine cutaway shape is finished in a very pretty cherry sunburst.
Add to Compare1968 Gibson Super 400CES Curly Maple/Spruce
Here’s a vintage Gibson Super 400CES from 1968, the last year of the split block Fret Markers. This one is completely original but for the pickguard and updated bridge and the original parts are in the case. The big 18″ body of the Super 400 is the secret to it’s bold and powerful sound. This one has been lovingly cared for and has a great setup for easy playability. This is a classic in every way.
