We are proud to offer for sale an exceptional example of a 1958 Fender Stratocaster, retaining close to 100% originality of all components! This example still has its vibrant three-tone sunburst finish, possessing the red hues in the burst which normally fade over time. The serial number is 28570 and the guitar sports a body date of 6-58 and a neck date of 8-58.
The one piece maple neck is in great shape, with a limited amount of fingerboard wear on the 1st and 2nd frets and feels nicely worn in with smooth, silky texture that doesn't stick to your thumb. The nut and frets are original, which is very uncommon on guitars of this age and there is approximately 60% fret life remaining. The neck grip is slightly thin and has the famous ‘58 profile which feels both like a U and a C, very comfortable to play! Neck measurements are 21.3mm at the first fret and 25.1mm at the 12th fret.
Electrics wise, the guitar is 100% original with untouched solder joints, 3 black bobbin pickups and pot codes reading 304825 (25th week of 1958). The three way selector switch and capacitor are also original and untouched. Photos of internal cavities and indeed in person inspection are available upon request. The single line kluson-deluxe tuners as well as the saddles both have the correct patent numbers. The pickguard and plastics are well kept, with little shrinking, probably due to having spent most of its life protected in the case.
The guitar also comes with the original tweed case and tremolo arm. This guitar is a great player and also a great investment piece as prices for vintage guitars of this era have skyrocketed in recent years. Please consider this opportunity!
We are pleased to offer this stunning vintage Gibson SG Standard from 1963 in the original cherry finish, retaining a high degree of originality across all components! Featuring a Sideways Vibrola and two patent number humbuckers this is a gorgeous example of one of the classic golden era Gibson electric guitars. In great cosmetic and playing condition, this is a serious piece for the collector and player alike!
Internally and externally the guitar is original apart from the back of the body which has been oversprayed with another coat of nitro lacquer (only the body - the neck is still just the original lacquer). Additionally, the plastic bridge saddles have been changed but are included with the sale of the guitar. The electronics are original and untouched including all wiring and both pickups. Photos of internal cavities can be provided upon request. Includes the original Gibson hard case which is in good condition.
A great chance to secure an excellent vintage instrument from Gibson’s golden era, perfect for the player and collector alike. Please consider this opportunity!
Available now is what is quite possibly the coolest Telecaster we have ever seen and played. This is a 2022 Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom finished in Heavy Relic Antique White, and it is an absolutely spectacular guitar.
The guitar is exceptionally comfortable to play, weighing only 7lbs 5oz and featuring a beautifully worn-in neck finish. The factory wear has left the back of the neck incredibly smooth and fast, making it effortless to move up and down the fingerboard. Everything about this guitar feels considered, from the relic work to the neck shape and overall balance, and it has that rare quality where it feels like a genuinely played-in vintage guitar rather than simply a new instrument with an aged finish.
One of the really special features of this particular guitar is its handwound pickup set, wound by Celina Garcia and marked "HW CG 6-9-22". These pickups sound absolutely incredible, with the neck pickup delivering a warm, rounded and beautifully articulate tone whilst the bridge pickup has a punchy, mid-forward character with plenty of bite. Together they perfectly capture that sweet spot between late-'50s Telecaster snap and early-'60s warmth, giving the guitar an exceptionally musical and responsive voice.
This guitar is in excellent, unmarked condition with only the factory wear from the Heavy Relic treatment. It has been set up with Ernie Ball 10 gauge strings and plays great with low action and no buzz. It Comes with a good-quality non-original hard case. The original Shop Floor Traveler sheet is included with the guitar.
We are pleased to offer for sale a great example of a pre CBS, custom colour Fender Stratocaster, this example is from 1965 and finished in the popular custom colour Candy Apple Red. This guitar sports an all original candy apple red finish with no overlacquer, and a high degree of originality of internal components. The serial number is L83172, the neck date is 20OCT65B (October ‘65) and the pot dates are 137-6420 x3 (20th week of ‘64).
The maple neck is in great condition with a lovely worn in feel from years of love and the dark Brazilian rosewood fretboard feels sublime to play. The nut and frets have been replaced (originals included with sale) for increased playability so the guitar has the vintage vibe but feels incredibly easy to play! Photos of internal cavities and indeed in person inspection are available upon request.
Components wise, the guitar retains 3 original gray bobbin pickups, dated 1964 which sound incredible and offer you everything you want from a vintage stratocaster. The capacitor is also original. The pickup selector switch has been upgraded to 5-way switch however the original switch is included with the sale and can be re-installed at the buyer's wish. The pickguard is original but has a chip by the horn on the treble string side, however the missing fragment has been retained and is inside the case. Additionally, the original springs, bridge cover and backplate are present.
The guitar comes complete with original black hardshell case, tremolo arm, fender strap and cable - a complete set which is very rare for guitars of this age! With vintage guitar prices skyrocketing in recent years this pre CBS example is a great option for the player or investor alike! Please consider this opportunity!
