❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul TV Special, 1958

❌SOLD❌   Gibson Les Paul TV Special, 1958

The Gibson  Les Paul TV Special was introduced in 1955 as a midway point between the also newly introduced Les Paul Junior and the Les Paul itself. Like the Junior, the Special used Honduran Mahogany for the body – no carved Maple cap like the Les Paul – and the neck, and Rosewood for the fingerboard. The Special, however, had two P-90 pickups and a bound fingerboard; at the time, ‘Rosewood’ meant Brazilian Rosewood.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue, 2007

❌SOLD❌ Gibson 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue, 2007

The Gibson 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Reissue is a great take on a classic, straight ahead solidbody that delivers plenty of tone via a pair of P-90 pickups. Often referred to as the ‘Les Paul DC’, the Les Paul Special first appeared in 1955 along with the Les Paul Junior, both as lower cost alternatives to the carved-top Les Paul model. Aside from lacking the carved Maple cap and simpler hardware, the Special and Junior construction was similar to the carved-top Les Paul.

❌SOLD❌  Fender American Elite Stratocaster Olympic Pearl, 2019

The Fender American Elite Stratocaster was built from 2016 to 2019 in Corona, California and is not to be confused with the 1980’s, CBS era ‘Stratocaster Elite’ models. Initially, these models had either Maple or Indian Rosewood fingerboards, but Rosewood was quickly dropped in favor of Ebony. This example dates to 2019 and features the classic Stratocaster body with deeper contours.

SOLD!!! Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire® White Blonde

SOLD!!! Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire® White Blonde

The Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire reproduces one of the earliest production electric guitars, the single pickup Esquire. This seminal instrument sparked an explosion in electric guitar production, particularly solidbody guitar production. Like the original run, the Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire uses a Roasted Pine body. Pine was readily available, inexpensive and easy to work, making it ideal for development of both the guitar design and production techniques.

❌SOLD❌ Gretsch Model 35 Archtop Guitar Sunburst, 1933

The Gretsch Model 35 American Orchestra archtop guitar appeared in 1933 and was built until 1940, when it was replaced by the Synchromatic line and the model 30. The Model 35 features a solid carved Spruce top with small-size F holes. Maple is used for the sides and back, Flamed Maple for the neck and Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. The Gretsch logo is a Banner style using an engraved pearlescent plastic – rather like a drum covering.
