1962 Fender Super Amp 6GA-4

$4,595
This amp is outrageously awesome - an extremely clean Fender Super 6GA-4 from 1962. The amp came in showing signs that it hadn't been turned on and used in decades, which was great for the cosmetic condition of the amp, but some service was required to get it up to speed. I changed out the filter caps and added a grounded power cable, bypassing the ground switch and "death cap".  Two...

$2,400
No sales tax for customers outside California. This 1998 Fender Roscoe Beck Artist Series Jazz Bass is in excellent condition with just a few small dings here and there.  The frets show little wear, so I'm thinking that the wear might just be from way back when it was hanging in the store.  It came in as part of a collection of instruments that were rarely played, if ever.

2012 Gibson SG Special Satin

$999.99
No sales tax for customers outside California. Ask yourself: Why buy a new guitar when Mahar's Vintage Guitars has so many mint guitars at used guitar prices?
