❌SOLD❌ Fender Pre-CBS Stratocaster Sunburst, 1964

On May 18, 2022 /

Here’s something we see fewer of – a Fender Pre-CBS Stratocaster in Sunburst, with a body date of 9/63 and neck date of March 1964. This type of ‘date mismatch’ has been common in some periods of Fender production. The factory would build and finish a larger number of bodies and store them, with the necks built closer to the sale and delivery date. The potentiometers date to 1963.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Firebird Studio Vintage Burst, 2017

On May 18, 2022 /

The Gibson Firebird Studio was a simplified expression of the original Firebird V design, using a set neck, full-sized humbuckers and ‘Non Reverse’ headstock. It seems to have been discontinued in the recent past. In a number of ways, the Firebird Studio is a mixture of the original ‘Reverse’ Firebird aesthetics and ‘Non-Reverse’ construction techniques.

❌SOLD❌ Martin & Coupa Guitar, 1840s

On May 13, 2022 /

Here is another rarity – an 1840’s Martin & Coupa guitar, built in Nazareth PA for John Coupa at 385 Broadway (Upstairs!) in New York. It is extraordinary that an instrument like this Martin & Coupa guitar could be in all original and playable condition, complete with its original “coffin” case, over 160 years after its production! To give a little chronological perspective, this instrument would have been delivered to its first owner by stagecoach and riverboat 20 years before the American Civil War.
