By 1988, the Fender Standard Stratocaster had appeared and was being built in Corona, CA by the “new” Fender company following its sale by CBS. Here we’re looking at a Fender Standard Stratocaster, built during 1988 in Corona, California – an early example of the ‘new’ US built Strats. This example features an black-finished Ash body paired with a Rosewood-fingerboard Maple neck.

❌SOLD❌  Martin D-35 Dreadnought Steel String Natural, 2013

The Martin D-35 Dreadnought appeared in 1965 but made its catalog debut in 1966, and was a practical response to increasing demand for square-shouldered dreadnoughts.   Demand was so high for that specific body design that Gibson altered several round-shouldered models, including the iconic J-45 to the square-shouldered design.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-175 VOS 1959 Reissue Sunburst, 2016

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-175 VOS 1959 Reissue Sunburst, 2016

The Gibson ES-175 VOS 1959 Reissue brought back the 1959 version of the classic single humbucking pickup, working player’s jazz guitar. Introduced in 1949 as a 16 inch wide, fully hollow single cutaway electric, the Gibson ES-175 first carried a single P-90 pickup in the neck position. In 1953, the ES-175D was launched with a second pickup, and that became the most popular configuration throughout the 175’s production.

This Cherry Red Gibson Memphis ES-335 dates to February 7, 2015 and was built at the now-closed Memphis plant.

This example has a relatively plain top and back, but does not have the ‘P’ – for plain – designation in the model number.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson FJN Folksinger Jumbo Natural, 1964

❌SOLD❌  Gibson FJN Folksinger Jumbo Natural, 1964

Created for the folk boom of the early 1960’s, the Gibson FJN Folksinger Jumbo Natural Finish has a few differences from Gibson’s regular dreadnoughts. While it uses the Jumbo body size found on guitars like the SJ, the FJN has a wide 12-fret neck – the nut is nearly 2 inches wide – and is braced for nylon, Silk & Steel, or very light steel strings. Interest in the FJN faded with the folk boom, and by 1967 the FJN was taken out of production.
