1957 Fender Stratocaster

Call
This 1957 Stratocaster features a custom Red finish with Gold Sparkle! This finish is hard to describe without seeing it in person, as it almost has a duo-chrome effect. From certain angles, the gold sparkle appears flat, leaving the area looking red until the light hits it. This guitar also has a blue metallic undercoat, which we are adding to the list of unique undercoats we have seen on our...

1954 Fender Stratocaster

Call
As far as Strats are concerned, it doesn’t get much better! This early 1954 Fender Stratocaster features a beautifully ambered and aged Sunburst finish, showing lots of playwear and fine checking. Indicative of this wear (check out that fretboard!), this guitar is an amazing player. With a smooth, soft V profile your hand glides up and down the neck as you play. The bakelite hardware is equally...

1963 Gibson Firebird I

Call
It’s hard to believe this 1963 Gibson Firebird I in Kerry Green is over 60 years old and still this clean, but believe it! Of the ten custom colors Gibson unveiled with the Firebird model, Kerry Green is among the rarest examples, especially in this condition. The full C neck on this guitar stands out and feels incredible in the hand. This mini-humbucker sounds great and puts out huge sounds,...

1967 Fender Hollowbody Stratocaster Prototype

Call
This gorgeous 1967 Fender Stratocaster in its original red Zebrawood finish is a semi-hollowbodied prototype from Fender’s experimental era in the late 1960s! This is truly a remarkable part of Fender’s history, as this original piece is most likely a one-of-one example. Fender had quite a lot of dense, heavy wood in their stockpiles at this time, so the R&D Dept began experimenting...

1964 Fender Custom Telecaster

Call
This 1964 Fender Custom Telecaster in its original “crushed glass” finish is a sparkling treasure, and only three original examples were ever made! This finish was devised especially for Buck Owens and fellow Buckaroos’ guitar player Don Rich as a sign of appreciation from Fender for the pair using the Telecaster to create their signature “Bakersfield Sound.” Both Owens and Rich can be seen...

1966 Fender Thinline Telecaster Custom Prototype

Call
This 1966 Fender Custom Telecaster Thinline in Wildwood Green is certainly not like anything we’ve seen before! This was made during Fender’s experimental period in the mid to late 1960s and is technically a prototype of the Thinline Telecaster design that would appear a few years later. As with most other models of this time, this guitar was most likely made in the R&D dept by Phil Kubicki...

1965 Fender Stratocaster

Call
Check out this 1965 Fender Stratocaster in “Selmer” Fiesta Red that has some of the coolest looking wear! This particular guitar was repainted in the 1960s by Selmer London, a large and very well known instruments dealer in the UK at the time. With an import ban on all US-made instruments ending in 1959, there was tremendous appetite for Fender instruments in the UK, and with Hank Marvin and his...

1955 Fender Stratocaster

1955 Fender Stratocaster

Call
Here’s a super clean and fully original 1955 Fender Stratocaster in Sunburst! This example was very well-kept, and the finish has a beautiful luster to it.

This nicely figured neck stands out on this piece, and it has aged to a gorgeous golden shade. In...

1965 Gibson Firebird III

Call
This 1965 Gibson Firebird III in its original Cardinal Red finish features a lefty, or “Non-Reverse” neck! Towards the end of 1965, Gibson was trying to use up their remaining parts from the Reverse Firebird model in preparation for the Non-Reverse line that year. There were a few leftover lefty neck blanks for Gibson to make into right-handed guitars with the quirk of having the...

1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard

Call
Campbell’s Soup Company, eat your heart out! We are honored to offer this incredible 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard in its original and nearly unfaded Cherry Sunburst finish. While some 1960 tops tend to be on the plainer side, this particular example shows some very subtle flame and nice mineral streaking, giving it an almost 3D effect when moving it in light. This beauty has everything one...

1968 Gibson EBS-1250

Call
Here’s an incredibly rare, custom-ordered 1968 Gibson EBS-1250 in factory Black! Of all the double-necks Gibson offered, the EBS-1250 was the most scarce, with shipping totals barely over 20 from 1958 to 1968. The most notable EBS-1250 player is likely Elvis Presley, who famously used one in the 1966 film Spinout. This particular example was certainly played as evidenced by the light wear...

1954 Fender Stratocaster

Call
What’s not to love about this road-worn 1954 Fender Stratocaster?! It’s so early, its serial number is located on the Tremolo cover plate. We’re lucky enough to have several of these early “Salesman Sample” Stratocasters, but this one has one of the best vibes. As we’ve mentioned in our blog, these Trem Cover serial numbers were the first 200 Stratocasters made. These examples were given to...

1964 Gibson Firebird V

Call
This entirely original and incredibly rare 1964 Gibson Firebird V in Pelham Blue/Inverness Green is mind-blowing, as it barely has a scratch on it! In addition to being super clean finish-wise, the guitar itself is a fantastic instrument, with an exceptionally comfortable neck, virtually unplayed frets, and a huge tone from the two mini-humbuckers. In our opinion and experience, the initial shade...

1950 Fender Broadcaster

Call

1951 Fender Nocaster

Call
Check out this fully original, well-loved 1951 Fender Nocaster in its original Blond finish! In the Fall of 1950, Fender received a strongly worded telegram from Gretsch demanding they drop the name “Broadcaster” from their new solid-bodied guitar model since Gretsch was already using the “Broadkaster” name. To avoid wasting the decals already produced for the model, Fender simply...

This extremely rare 1966 Gibson EMS-1235 in Cherry with Gold Hardware is fully original! We’ve seen a bunch of original Gibson double necks with an assortment of neck combos, but this one has got to be one of the coolest! On one side is an eight-string mandolin neck, while on the other is a four-string tenor guitar neck. This unique guitar was custom-ordered to meet the original owner’s...

1969 Fender Telecaster

Call
At first glance, this might look like any other Rosewood Telecaster. However, this original 1969 example is actually a Fender prototype featuring an Ash body painted to look like Rosewood! As outlined in an accompanying letter written by Fender legend Bill Carson, there were a few issues with the initial production of the full Rosewood Telecaster. Due to finish issues, availability, and the heavy...

1963 Fender Stratocaster

Call
This 1963 Fender Stratocaster in Burgundy Mist Metallic is truly a stunning guitar to look at, and it sounds and feels even better! Like all of the other Custom Color finishes, Burgundy Mist was used on several different model cars of the time, and remains one of the rarest to find on a Fender guitar. This particular example has the typical Factory Refinishing code stamped under the pickguard....

1963 Fender Precision Bass

Call
With an original sparkle finish, this 1963 Fender Precision Bass in “Candy Apple Red Sparkle” is an incredible piece! As we’ve written about before, most of these original Sparkle finishes were outsourced to local automotive and furniture shops as Fender was unequipped to paint using such thick flakes. This particular bass is in fantastic condition, with a couple of chips to the body...

1966 Fender Stratocaster

Call
This incredibly rare 1966 Fender Stratocaster in Fiesta Red features a factory original, bound fretboard! The exact production numbers of these bound fretboard Stratocasters are unknown, but we speculate that it’s about 15 or less, making this guitar an extraordinary find.

1965 Fender Stratocaster

Call
The finish on this original 1965 Fender Stratocaster in Lake Placid Blue has aged to a beautiful Ocean Turquoise Metallic hue! This example just so happens to have a maple cap neck with a small headstock, a highly desirable combo that only appeared in 1965. The finish on both the body and neck has taken on a rich patina, with the neck taking on a beautiful golden shade that brings out some subtle...

1963 Fender Telecaster

Call
This completely original 1963 Fender Telecaster features a rare, factory Red Mahogany finish!

This completely original 1958 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop with a dark back and factory Bigsby is not something you see every day! This body was never drilled for a stop tail and has been in this configuration ever since it left the Gibson factory in 1958.

1965 Gibson Firebird III

Call
We’re extremely grateful to have this super rare 1965 Gibson Firebird III in its original Frost Blue finish! Towards the end of the original “Reverse” Firebird run, Gibson had several lefty necks left over. Instead of disposing of them, they used the remaining stock to make a small batch of “non-reverse” headstock Firebirds. Most of these we’ve seen are Custom Colors, just like this one! The...
