❌SOLD❌ Martin D-35 Dreadnought Steel String Natural, 1968

❌SOLD❌  Martin D-35 Dreadnought Steel String Natural, 1968

Introduced in 1965 and still in production, the Martin D-35 Dreadnought design addressed a practical issue – tighter wood supplies. Demand for the very popular D-28 model was high but the larger sections of Rosewood – Brazilian, at the time – were in short supply.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-150 Archtop Electric Refinish Sunburst, 1950

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-150 Archtop Electric Refinish Sunburst, 1950

The Gibson ES-150 appeared in 1936 as one of the first efforts towards an electric guitar, and became the company’s first successful archtop electric. Previously, Gibson was supplying pickups and amplifiers, but hadn’t offered a guitar with a factory-installed pickup though their competitors were starting to. By 1935, pressure from customers like Montgomery-Ward pushed Gibson into installing pickups on some non-Gibson branded models.

❌SOLD❌   Fender Telecaster Blonde, 1969

Elegant in its simplicity, the Fender Telecaster from the beginning proved its versatility and extreme reliability. Though there have been many variants, it has been produced without any really major changes for over 70 years. One of the strong points in the design of the Fender Telecaster is that it can easily be customized without compromising its performance.

❌SOLD❌ Ibanez 2461 Johnny Smith ‘Lawsuit Era’ Archtop Electric Natural, 1975

❌SOLD❌  Ibanez 2461 Johnny Smith 'Lawsuit Era' Archtop Electric Natural, 1975

Here we have an Ibanez 2461 Johnny Smith style, full body cutaway archtop, built in Japan likely during 1975. The model was built until 1977. Typical of the early 1975 period, it has no serial number – these started appearing on the back of the headstock late 1975. It is largely original, though it has a slight modification – the output jack was a mini-plug mounted on the pickguard, and this was removed and a standard 1/4 inch jack installed to the lower treble side.

❌SOLD❌   Fender 60th Anniversary Precision Bass Sunburst, 2006

Reflecting, 2006 was a very good year for instruments like this Fender 60th Anniversary Precision Bass – delivering slight improvements on a winning formula. Many of the 2006 Fenders we’ve  seen from this year have been quite good. The Fender Precision Bass has been one of the most influential instrument designs, with an impact far beyond simply playing the instrument.
