Ibanez 59er (used) SOLD

This post-lawsuit Les Paul style guitar (Gibson’s suit was over Ibanez’s use of the ‘open-book’ headstock shape, and so Ibanez moved to another shape, based on the Guild headstock) is made in Japan and is a great way to get a Les Paul style guitar for a great price! Comes with original hardshell case.

Martin D-28 1969 (Consignment) SOLD

Martin D-28 1969 (Consignment) SOLD

One of the last Brazilian rosewood D-28 models this guitar has seen some action and wow does it sound great! With a deep and full bass response that you can feel going through the guitar and into your chest and a deliciously rich set of overtones this is the sound that made the D-28 a classic. The trebles are there as well and become more present as you dig in. This guitar shines when played loud and aggressive but still responds well when picked with a  lighter touch. What a great example of why so many guitars over the years have copied this classic design! Comes with non original Martin hardshell case.

Fender Telecaster Custom 1974 (Consignment) SOLD

Fender Telecaster Custom 1974 (Consignment) SOLD

This all original mid 70’s Tele Custom has seen a bit of wear and tear but is in great overall shape. I am a self admitted Tele nut but there is always something about a Tele with a humbucker that really gets me going. I guess the ability to go from a really fat rhythm tone to that snarling single coil bite hits the spot just right! Comes with a newer plastic Fender hardshell.
