Teisco EV-2T
$680
Often times, we look at the more expensive guitars in the hopes of finding that "magic tone nirvana" that's so cherished amongst guitar players. Flamed maple caps, solid mahogany bodies, maple wings, Brazilian rosewood toggle switches- that search can go on forever, but if you just want to lay back and enjoy the fun of a '60s guitar, there's no better candidate that a Teisco.

1973 Ovation Deacon- Redd Volkaert Project
$1,100
So, the first picture proves that I'm a big fan of Redd Volkaert's and it was a great pleasure to meet him at the Fletcher Guitar Show a few months ago. What my smile is hiding is the fact that while one may be fanboying, you might miss a couple of things on a guitar that come to be important later on. So let's take a trip down that rabbit hole...
I bought this guitar from Redd and was so busy...

2000 Spector NS-5PXL
$5,395
I have live the Spector life since 1987 and owned many, but this bass is a different breed of killing machine. Very few times in my years of playing have I picked up an instrument that commanded such respect from the first note and this was before I knew how to properly operate it. I just plugged it in, hit that low "B" and grinned...
To begin, the visual appointments on this NS-5 are...

1990 Charvel IMC Archtop Dinky, DKA-110-HH
$1,595
I say it must be a Texas thing because this guitar was bought in Texas, sold in Texas and has now ended up in the slightly warm and sunny Florida Panhandle. So basically, an 800 mile trip to reappear again, but man, we were happy to score this beauty. Every inch of this archtop Dinky displays early-'90s Japanese craftsmanship at its finest. If you're familiar with and a fan of this era of IMC...

2000 Marshall JTM45 O/S Head
$2,695
Well, let's start by saying this head had the spank and punch of a Cat D9 diesel engine. The power of this amp is incredible and you have to push it to get that creamy breakup, but when you do get there, by all that is holy this thing is magnificent. It's also a bit of an anomaly because of how we found it out in the wilderness, all alone.
Being # 129 of only 300 made, you would think that it...

Friedman BE Mini Head
$160
Yeah, I said it- I called this little BE Mini a Chihuahua because it's got the snap of a small dog, but the bark of a big one. If you're going to buy one of these amps, you might as well get one with the box, papers, wrappings in a complete package. Guys and Gals, this head is a whole lotta fun for not a lot of money, so if you're in the mood to make some big noise on a small scale, then give us...

1993 Fender Jazz Bass, MIJ, '62 Reissue, Lefty
$1,495
I can start out by saying that if this bass were right-handed, it would never leave the shop. It plays, sounds and feels that nice. I guess I ate too many dummy cookies back in the '80s because I was never really aware of these FugiGen-made instruments then and if I had been, I would have saved myself a lot of money and bought every one I could get my hands on.
The JBD-62/L designation stands...

1991 Peavey Rudy Sarzo Signature Bass
$1,050
Many moons ago, when I barely missed a rock concert in Atlanta, I went to see Yngwie Malmsteen at the Masquerade Theater. A couple of odd things happened at that show and maybe that's why I remember them to this day. Of course, buying this Peavey Sarzo is what triggered the memory in the first place.
That night at the Malmsteen show was kinda quirky due to several things I observed. First,...

1983 Kramer Pacer Imperial

"Where some see only scars, others see perseverance and the journey of kings."
Stephen C. Hogan
Many years ago, Lee and I visited the office of a CEO of a major American corporation. From the moment we stepped into the reception area, the top of every wall had a shelf that was adorned with the finest...

2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus
$2,650
Sometimes a guitar or bass can display the true majesty of Mother Nature. Take this Les Paul for example. It has one of the most striking Maple tops we have seen in a good minute and it's not because it has thick, finger-width flames all over it. Instead, it displays what we like to refer to as a "peek-a-boo" top that varies wildly depending on the angle you view it. Now that's the true beauty of...

1982 Peavey T-60
$950
Like its four-string counterpart, the T-40, the mighty T-60 set the standard for rock guitar in the '70s and early '80s. With its thin, lightning-fast neck (.756" at the 1st fret and .807" at the 12th fret in this case,) it was the shredder's shredder before there were those great '80s shredders. It's a solid workhorse that has a long history of providing proven performances, time after time and...

1998 Carvin DC400T
$1,200
So here lies the quandary; To refinish or not to refinish. That's was certainly the question as I initially looked at this DC400 and as I flipped it over, I saw why my seller wasn't saying a word. The back of the neck had been lightly sanded and so I went ahead as a master of the obvious with the question, "Hey man, what happened to the back of the neck?"
He answered in a rather sheepish...

1998 Ovation MM68
$975
I walked by not one, but two John Page-era Custom Shop Strats after spying this mandolin in the corner of Emille's booth at the Dallas Guitar Show. I absolutely love odd Ovation guitars and truth be told, I wasn't aware that they even made mandolins, so when I spotted this little beauty, I was immediately smitten and it was for sure coming home to the Elk Cave with me.
This mandolin is pretty...

1998 Taylor AB-3
$3,295
If I could use one word to describe Robert Taylor's AB bass series, it would be exquisite. These basses represent, in my opinion, the pinnacle of his guitar-making abilities and I'm personally glad he used a bass guitar to exhibit his vision and skills. These are incredible instruments that are among the most innovative and expressive in his arsenal of inventory.
This AB-3 is an extraordinary...

1997 Fender CS 50th Ann. Diamond Dealer Relic Stratocaster
$6,195
Throughout Fender's storied history, there have been several periods that one could argue were their best. If you are a 1950's fan, you might say that those '50s guitars were the best that Fender ever produced while a '60s guy might argue that his '63 Strat is the complete bombaroonie. I, instead will make the argument that the Cunetto Relics produced between 1995 and 1999 were some of the finest...

1997 Rickenbacker 660/12TP Tom Petty Signature
$6,550
If you're around my age and you think back to who was on the radio during your high school years, chances are Mr. Petty would be near the top of that list. He, along with the likes of The Eagles, Aerosmith, Bob Seger, Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd rang in those hazy days of '70s Rock and we listened to many of their songs over and over and over for years. Sadly, Tom is also on the list of artists I...

Kendrick Texas Crude Gusher, 50-Watt
$2,095
You are seeing this rare Texas Crude 50-watt Gusher as we purchased it- with the channels jumped. I plugged it up and was immediately impressed- this amp has more than its share of balls. But, to be sure it did what it was supposed to do (and because bass players don't know squat about two-channel guitar heads,) I called in the calvary, the one known as "El Jefe" and had him put the amp through...

1985 Schecter Genesis Bass
$1,050
As I was looking at a booth full of Alembic, Modulus, Fodera and other high-end basses, I asked the guy, "Do you have any '80s or '90s basses? You know, just simple Rock basses that aren't five figures?" The guy almost smirked at me, but said, "I got a couple under here you might want, " and reached under his table. He pulled out this Genesis bass and the '77 Ibanez Black Eagle bass you'll soon...

2023 Steinberger Spirit XT-2 Bass, Lefty
$399
We purchased three new Spirits at the Fall Philadelphia Guitar Show and they are all beautiful and quality guitars. This lefty XT-2 bass was the third piece. They are "as neu" and have never been sold to the public- we are merely the temporary caretakers. Talk about getting the full Steinberger experience at about 1/10th the price of an American-made guitar- these will all do that for...

1995 Fender CS Cunetto Relic '57 RI Mary Kaye Stratocaster
$5,200
Weight- 7 lbs, 12 oz
Neck depth at 1st fret- 0.908"
Neck depth at 12th fret- 0.994"
I will venture to say that in the world of reissue Fenders, the Cunetto relics rank at the top of the list. The realistic treatments applied by Vince Cunetto set them heads and above the rank-and-file Custom Shop guitars made during that period. A perfect example of the above would be this incredibly...

Gibson Gen 3SG Case
$145
Here's the case you need if you want to ship or house your '80s Gibson SG. It has been cleaned and detailed as much as possible and the case is structurally sound. The plastic latch nib on the butt end of the case has broken off and it looks as if there was an attempt to reglue it, but alas, it's no longer there. That said, the other two latches work correctly and keep the case closed as...

1994 Fender Custom Shop 40th Anniversary Stratocaster
$9,295
In terms of the many Stratocasters we've seen come out of the Custom Shop over the years, this 40th Anniversary example ranks right at the top of the list. It is obvious from first glance that every inch of this instrument was thought out and constructed at the highest level of dedication to craft and it's fairly rare to own a guitar that's so beautiful, you are afraid to play it. It is special...
