Just a guy with too many guitars! If you don't receive a reply, maybe check your Spam-Box? robwesleyguitars at gmail ASK IF I'VE MADE A SOUND-CLIP RECORDING OF THE GUITAR (My studio's been down so I don't have a lot of the guitars done)

I'm a guitarist. I'm NOT a guitar-selling business, I'm NOT a collector-- I'm an over-buying accumulator! I thought this would be a good solution for the many unsolicited inquiries, wanting to buy many of my Personal Collection guitars, many of which are NOT for sale (yet??!?). I'll check the individual condition of each guitar more thoroughly, once someone contacts me about it. I am NOT a guitar expert, and I will not be responsible for self-alleged "Collectors" who demand exact detail down to the screws. I attempt to describe each guitar to the best of my abilities, or using the information given to me when I bought the guitar. I hope that the photos of each guitar will enable those who are more demanding in detail or original-parts to discern for themselves. Write and inquire if you have questions, and I'll reply as soon as I can find time. -- Rob

Epiphone AlleyKat Trans-Black 2000 with new hardshell case
Near-new, played on one of my recordings when I first got it in 2002, jammed with it once in the studio, that's it. Pretty much like-new with like-new orginal hardshell case.
I installed an Epiphone Bigsby which cost me a chunk and works great! The former owner upgraded to official Grover tuners.
All-original everything. Pickups- neck is a super sounding Epiphone "New York" Mini-Humbucker (allegedly made by Seymour Duncan); bridge is Epiphone's Classic 57 (CH57).
First-year of model (2000), made by Samick in Korea.

Asking Price- US $375 with new hardshell case SOLD!

Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II 1992 rare spruce top
All-original. Made by Samick in Korea. Great guitar, I've had it for 6 years, bought near-new, played rarely when I was in the mood, always kept in the living room guitar display rack. Still Near-New other than 1 tiny screw-hole where I'd had a different pickguard attached for a while, and 3 near the tailpiece where I had a different tailpiece.
Rare early spruce body top when they were using maple tops.
Nut width is 1-11/16".

Asking price- US $500 no case

Epiphone S-600 black strat-style
Samick-made in Korea. Nice heavy-bodied guitar with great sustain, black high-gloss paint, sharktooth-inlays. Very elongated body, much longer than a standard-strat style.
Floyd-licensed black whammy (WITH bar!) #TRS-101.
Superb action!
Asking price- US $300 with original hardshell case

Epiphone SGModel SG Model (ESGS) Black 1999
Hardly used, almost no wear. Lots of fun to play! Feels as good as my Gibson SG's to play, but lighter-weight. Great sounding original Epiphone Gibson-designed pickups, probably HB-101 and HB-103 which are the same as some of the Seymour Duncan Design lower-end pickup models. Bright fun gutsy sound.
Samick-made but I don't know which factory. Bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fretboard, laminated maple/alder body.
Weight 6-3/4 pounds. Feels, looks and plays almost identical to my 1972 Gibson SG Special worth $750+.

Asking price- US $150 SOLD!

Epiphone Sheraton "by Gibson" 1987 Natural no1
This is the first edition of the Korean Samick Sheraton's after Epiphone moved production from Matsumoku, with the "Epiphone by Gibson" inlaid headstock logo. This one has a replacement pickguard and bracket taken from a 1969 Gibson ES-335 although I believe the pickguard (and maybe the bracket) might be aftermarket later additions.
Original everything other than the pickguard and probably the Gibson top-hat knobs. If you prefer original knobs I think I have a set from another Sheraton guitar. Adjustable Epiphone Grover-style tuners. Slightly sleeker neck on the rear than the near-identical no2, shown below. There's a slight shadow on the guitar where the original pickguard used to curve up higher at the top. It's hard to even find any wear on the frets. Overall about 90% condition other than the usual metal hardware pitting.
Weighs 9-1/4 pounds.

Asking price- US $525 with hardshell case or $475 without case On-Hold

Epiphone Sheraton "by Gibson" 1987 Natural w-Hardshell Case no2
Really nice guitar. This is the first edition of the Korean Samick Sheraton's after Epiphone moved production from Matsumoku, with the "Epiphone by Gibson" inlaid headstock logo. This one has the early Gibson-style thumbwheel-adjustable bridge which was shortly replaced in other versions with the screwdriver-adjustable bridge.
All-original except the Gibson barrel speed-knobs. Adjustable Epiphone Grover-style tuners. If you prefer original knobs I think I have a set from another Sheraton guitar. Overall about 90% condition other than the typical metal hardware pitting.
8-3/4 pounds.

Asking price- US $500 with hardshell case in great condition or $450 without case

---

Epiphone Sheraton "by Gibson" 1987 Natural w-Hardshell Case no3
This is the first edition of the Korean Samick Sheraton's after Epiphone moved production from Matsumoku, with the "Epiphone by Gibson" inlaid headstock logo. This one has the more common solid-bridge they started to use in this edition and still continue to use. Adjustable Epiphone Grover-style tuners.
Amazing gorgeous birdseye maple on the body rear! Check out the grain in the photos.
All-original except probably the Gibson top-hat knobs. If you prefer original knobs I think I have a set from another Sheraton guitar. Overall about 90% condition other than the typical metal hardware pitting. Someone swapped on the wrong riser-bolts on the bridge pickup but I've replaced them with new ones.
Weighs 9-1/4 pounds.

Asking price- US $500 with hardshell case in great condition or $450 without case

Epiphone Zephyr Archtop TV-Yellow Blonde 1947-1948
Great old classic 18" spruce-top jazzbox, maple rims and body rear. This guitar has the original rare humbucker-sized single-coil metal-cover pickup that was used briefly in 1947-1948 before the introduction of the commonly-called New York pickup..
Original Epiphone "E" tuners, rosewood bridge. Original MasterVoicer control plates and famous octagonal white knobs. Original bridge (replacement thumbwheels). Nut width is 1-11/16". Modest V-neck shape on the rear. Odd replacement tailpiece that really gives sustain, it's also heavy-- probably solid nickel (wish I could identify its origin and actual value!). I'll replace with a newer trapeze tailpiece if you prefer. The Epiphone headstock badge was removed before I bought it. I call it TV Yellow but it's more of a yellow-wash, used to dim television stage spotlight reflection, pretty cool. I don't know if the stain was factory-original or if it was professionally applied afterwards. No significant damage, repairs or anything that I note on the guitar (check the photos), given its age. Very slight neck-heel separation at the rear but no effect whatsoever on structure or the guitar's super-low action.

Asking price- US $1000 w/newer hardshell case -- OR -- $1250 with very worn original hardshell case

---

Epiphone Zephyr Deluxe 1945-1947 #1
Spruce body top, gorgeous flamed maple back & rims. Original single-coil pickup. All-original. I wasn't sure about the rosewood bridge but the former owner insisted it was the original one. Appears to have been very professionally refretted with medium frets which show little wear. Original Epiphone "E" tuners, original MasterVoicer control plates and famous octagonal white knobs. Nut width is 1-11/16". Modest V-neck shape on the rear.
Original pickguard wasn't installed in the photos-- but it's included.
Check out the original Frequensator tailpiece logo on the lower plate! Still nice and shiny! One of the nicer condition guitars of this model that you'll find.

Asking price- US $1750 w/newer hardshell case

---

Epiphone Zephyr Deluxe 1945-1947 #2
Pretty much the same as the identical one above, but not quite as stellar condition. One pickup pole is missing (makes no real difference in playing). No pickguard. Original single-coil pickup. Original Epiphone "E" tuners. Original Frequensator tailpiece. Original volume/tone plates with replacement vintage chicken-head knobs.
Nut width is 1-11/16". Spruce body top, gorgeous flamed maple back & rims. Modest V-neck shape on the rear.

Asking price- US $1600 with newer hardshell case

Epiphone Zephyr Emperor Regent 1953 with original Epiphone "Jimmy V" LIFTON hardshell case
Formerly owned by Jimmy Vivino (guitarist for Max Weinberg Seven on Conan O'Brien)!!!
This is an incredible guitar! It sounds huge, even unplugged. It's a monster- about 18-1/2 inches wide! But only 9 pounds considering everything. Original Epiphone New York pickups!!! These sell for a mint, by themselves. Why? Because they sound amazing!
All-original parts except the replacement Gibson Tune-O-Matic bridge (although the bridge base appears to be original), and the pickguard-bracket. The Varitone switches are similar to the strat 5-way settings in some ways, and like a Gibson Varitone in other ways. The contacts are a bit crackly on a few buttons but probably would improve with some cleaning. I haven't quite figured out the selector-system but a few sound great.
The huge original 19-inch Lifton pink-lined case is worth a huge bundle, just by itself! ($500-750?)
You can find pics of Jimmy with this guitar in various publications including "Epiphone the Complete History" by Walter Carter, p.44 & p.90.

Asking price- US $5250 with original RARE 1953 Epiphone LIFTON 19-inch wide case

Gibson EB bass 1970 PROJECT
Nice 30-1/2" neck scale. This EB model was only made in 1970-- no volute, no crown-inlay, and a Gibson decal logo differ it from the similar EB-0.
I bought this exactly as it is, now, a few years ago and I just haven't had time for projects, and now I'm deciding that I will just enjoy my EB-3 and sell this, unfortunately for me.
Someone made a thin wood pickguard that's pretty cool, or can be painted black or whatever you choose to do with it. Asian replacement tuners of some sort. You'll need a tailpiece, bridge and all the electronics. I actually had bought several tailpiece/bridge combo's which I would sell for an additional price. Allparts nickel $65 which is apparently a near-clone replacement, or a cool old 1978 Ovation Magnum $90.

Asking price- US $450 no case; plus optional tailpiece/bridges mentioned above

---

Gibson ES-140 3/4 Fullbody Sunburst 1950
This is not the thinline ES-140-T 3/4 model. This guitar is 12-3/4" (32.4cm) wide, and 3-1/4" (8.25cm) deep. The thinline version is only 1-3/4" deep.
Probably 90%+ condition. Original P-90 pickup, harness, controls, tall knobs. Replacement gold Schaller replacement tuners in great condition. No pickguard, I understand that the earliest models did not have pickguards although there are screw-holes where someone at one time had one attached which is no longer with the guitar.
Very minor fretwear, in my opinion, only minor string impressions on 1st thru 5th that I can see.
This guitar is from the model's intro-year of 1950!

Asking price- US $1600 w/70's LP-style asian silver-trim case

---

Gibson ES-125-CD 1967 sunburst jazzbox with newer hardshell case
Really nice guitar, basically an ES-175 with less fancy headstock logo and dot-inlays instead of the split-bar's. Not sure what the pickups are but they really sound incredible on this guitar. They could be Gibson of some sort but they vaguely remind me of some 1970's pickups used by Gretsch, Hagstrom and other companies. Regardless, they sound great. Stamped "34 26" on the rear.
The guitar was originally a single-pickup P-90, someone routed for dual humbuckers and added a second pair of control-pots and a 3-way toggle.
Replacement Schaller tuners, nice ebony replacement-nut, aftermarket ABR-style bridge on rosewood base (not sure of maker).
Amazing depth of sound! Great action, nut 1-9/16" profile neck. Neck-rear finish was sanded down, some players prefer this but it can easily be clear-sprayed or tung-oil coated.
Asking price- US $1250 with newer hardshell case

---

Gibson ES-330-T Sunburst 1959 all-original w-Gibson 1970's hardshell case
FLAMED body! Near-perfect! Probably 90%+ condition. Gibson P-90 pickup with original dogear cover, lots of tone-options with the tone-control. All-original parts. Presently has a no-modifications-made set of newer tuners, but the original's are in the case and in fairly good shape (see photos).
Difference between an ES-335 and an ES-330? Neck mounted 2 frets closer to body, single-coil pickups, and about 4 pounds less weight! Incredible bluesy-throaty sound! I love the sound, neck, action and lightweight dance-with-me feeling of these ES-330T's. Weighs only 5-3/4lb. Nut-width 1-11/16".
The case included is a 1970's Gibson, not the gold 1960 Lifton shown in any photos (sorry! but I'd sell that case for $750).

Asking price- US $3000 with 1970's Gibson hardshell case (add $200 for a 1960 Lifton that's been oversprayed in black) SOLD!

Gibson ES-335-TD 1966 Tri-Sunburst Stop-Tailpiece STRIPPED PROJECT
Body and neck ONLY Original finish. Solid 1-piece mahogany neck-- the difference in these pre-1969 necks is amazing, you can feel the vibration and sustain rather well.
Plenty of mojo from previous revisions by former owners (including metal-guitarist Kurt James who used the guitar on a cd session). Holes filled where a battery trap-door was cut in the lower right bout rim (can actually be removed without much effort if you want to use a battery-unit, they used the original wood for the door); several control-knob holes nicely filled on the body-surface (see photos); wood blocking added under the bridge pickup cavity to provide more sustain and less feedback (see photo PICT0263.JPG).
Nut width 1-9/16" (40mm) but the neck is chunky so it doesn't feel as "narrow" as many others in this era. It's been refretted, as evidenced by a few tiny chips into the rosewood fretboard.
The guitar had almost all later-Gibson replacement parts when I bought it for a lot more than I'm asking, so I'm offering it as a neck-body only project for someone who's always wanted a true vintage Gibson 335 but can't afford the prices of collector-quality all-original vintage ones.
Someone asked the question whether this could be a 1969. It's possible but I doubt it, after a lot of research and examination. The headstock-inlay is the carved Mother-of Pearl. The serial# is 8514xx. The neck is solid one-piece, rather than the 3-piece introduced in 1969. The cutaway-ears also seem 1966 and not 1969. I'll let you use your own expertise, it's probably better than mine. The price would be the same, however, regardless of year. There's also a "2" at the serial-number, as though it matters about some possible minor cosmetic defect 42 years later, or that some employee bought it at discount.

Asking price- US $2650 with gigbag

Gibson ES-335-TDC 1969 Cherry w-original Gibson hardshell case
Gorgeous cherry red, with shiny original hardware! Various experts have argued that this is a 1965 or possibly early 1966 model, due to various factors (the cutaway bouts, etc). The f-holes are the wider cut (1969+), and the headstock angle seems more like a 14 than 17 degree (1966+). Headstock-logo seems pre-1968 style to my non-expert eyes. Original ABR-1 bridge with nylon saddles, not sure about the thumb-wheels. Probable refret but typical original-style for 60's though. Gibson 1965-only control pots (part# CBA-811-1053). Nut width 1-9/16" as was standard for the mid-'65 to 1978 Gibson's.
I bought this from the first or second owner who bought it around 1969-1970 and pampered it well, his only guitar. Original Gibson Patent-Label pickups (see photos). Sounding great. All-original bridge, pickguard, pickups, harness/pots, knobs, tuners. It originally had a trapeze-tailpiece and then a Bigsby at some point. Later revised to a stop-tailpiece long ago, probably 1969-1970. Looking really nice around 80%+ overall. Chip on the headstock lower-left corner by the nut (see photos) and a small one at top-right, otherwise only a few minor marks. The frets may have been replaced since they seem a little high for the period but I can't say for certain.
One of the better or best condition 1960's 335 that I've ever seen. Amazing sustain.
I'm tending to play wider necks, these days, so unfortunately this one is on the selling-block. 7-1/2 pounds weight.

Asking price- US $3250 with original Gibson hardshell case (1970? brown-lined) -OR- add $150 for a worn 1969 Lifton gold-lined case (missing some latches)

Gibson ES-335-TD Sunburst 1978 w-Gibson 1970's hardshell case
Great guitar, really lightweight at 8-1/4 pounds (3.7kg). I bought this last year from a famous guitarist who had played with John Mayall and others. I asked him to autograph it inside the right f-hole, since I didn't think I would ever sell it. But now I'm finding that the more narrow 1-9/16" necks are more difficult for me to play, at my age.
I feel bad offering to sell this, I told Kal I'd probably keep it forever, because it has such great sustain, very lightweight compared to many other 335's and just a great guitarwith that "just right" feel. Unfortunately, my fingers can no longer do well on the 1-9/16" necks.
Pretty much superb condition. One minor current modification that you can change, or you might like it. The model came with a factory-installed coil-splitter toggle during these late 1970's. He had them reverse the toggle wiring so the upper-right bout toggle is for the pickups, and the coil-split toggle is near the control-pot's. Easily reversed again.
Pickups-- Gibson original factory humbuckers, black-coated on the rear like the Gibson Series 7 and Dirty Fingers but these are different-- reading N=7.97k and B=5.27k, very normal-range.
Currently has black bell-knobs installed (they were missing in the photo, oops).
The guitar came from the factory with a "2" stamped in the headstock rear, and as usual, no one can figure out why. The guitar has no apparent defects.
I believe the guitar can be seen on the stage behind Kal, to the right-rear at times, during Ka'ls 2004 live-video on YouTube.
Asking price- US $1900 with newer hardshell case SOLD!

Gibson ES-335-TD Pelham Blue 2001 Custom-Shop Country-Autographed w-original Gibson hardshell case
For all you country-fans out there, this is your heart-dream! According to Gibson Customer Service the guitar was special-ordered with the Pelham Blue finish in 2001. Memphis radio station KIX-106 (WGKX-FM) used it in a promotional (2003?) where it was autographed by numerous country artists-- 14 or more from what I can count, including Alan Jackson, Alabama (w/Randy Owen), Tracy Lawrence, Mark Chenutt, Steve Azar, Steve Holy, Jimmy Wayne, Keith Urban, and others. The winner of the contest didn't play, and eventually sold it to someone who sold it to me a few months ago. It's in about 90-95% like-new condition. A few scuff-marks on the pickguard and tailpiece, two spider-cracks in the finish at the neck in the left cutaway (definitely surface-only cosmetic and not unusual). All original. Gibson Classic 57 humbuckers (N=7.72k B=7.54k). That's about all I can tell you, other than it's nearly perfect and a huge collector item. I'm more into fretless-wonder Gibson's and this one has the standard medium-jumbo frets so I probably am not going to get much use out of this incredible guitar, unfortunately.

Asking price- US $2250 with original Gibson brown/pink hardshell case

Gibson ES-347 1980 Ebony w-original Gibson hardshell case
Not to be confused with the ES-345's, the 347's are basically upgraded 335's with similarities to the ES-355. These 347's have the higher-quality ebony fretboards, all-gold hardware, large block inlays, lots of binding, brass nut, coil-tap toggle and a TP-6 tailpiece. This was the first edition of the ES-347's and it has a standard-sized coil-reverse toggle on the upper right horn, rather than the lower mini-toggle introduced the following year. The standard 3-way pickup toggle is in the usual place by the controls.
Original Gibson Series 7 gold-cover pickups, much-sought by jazz guitarists who like the brighter yet mellow sound. These are NOT DirtyFingers pickups (which have 2 rows of 6-poles) -- totally different.
Fair to moderate wear on the gold hardware. About 75% or better, overall. Fairly decent structural condition, has a repainted belt-buckle rash spot on the body rear. The neck rear has been resprayed, I'd intended to keep this and shaved down the depth slightly for better action and then repainted it with black nitro, perfect job. I later decided to shave it even more and the new "drip-proof" masking-tape leaked slightly at a few spots on the neck binding, which I removed but the aged patina is mostly gone on the bass side.
Body front has a very nice high-shine finish, despite needing some polishing which hadn't happened before I'd taken the photos.
Weighs 9-1/2 pounds. Nut width 1-11/16"

Asking price- US $1950 with original Gibson hardshell case

---

Gibson ES-347 1984 Cherry w/hardshell case
Fairly decent condition for this period of Gibson's mediocre-paint finishes. Some finish wear on the side of the upper neck (see photos); finish blistering on the neck-heel; minor nicks & blemishes. Gibson gold hardware during this period tended to pit and wear easily. Original Gibson Series 7 neck pickup (14.48k); and a newer Classic 57 bridge pickup (8.14k). Weight is 9-1/2 pounds.
Not to be confused with the ES-345's, the 347's are basically a blend of 335's and 355's. The 347's have the more-desireable ebony fretboards, block-inlays, all-gold hardware, lots of binding, gorgeous headstock inlay, brass nut, coil-tap mini-toggle for the neck pickup.
This one came with the original TP-6 fine-tuning tailpiece but I replaced it with a regular gold stop-tailpiece in the photos. The TP-6 will be included but I'll have to remove the strings and I can put in a set of .009's or .010's or .011's for you to install with the TP-6.
This guitar has been one of my primary players for the past few years. I've had it in the case for a few months and pulled it out to find that the clearcoat finish on the lower neck and heel had started to crackle for no apparent reason-- no structural damage noted. See the last photo. But the guitar was still perfectly in-tune.
Weighs 9-1/2 pounds. Nut width 1-11/16"
Asking price- US $2100 with worn 1970's Gibson case

---

Gibson ES-350-D 1950 Tal Farlow Model w/original Gibson blue-lined hardshell case
Repaired cracks along the headstock/neck years ago, solid, could use some cosmetic filler. Original control-pots (19-9051). Replacement Gibson gold hardware, WD pickguard & bracket. Schaller humbuckers (didn't know they made pickups!). I'd planned to keep this guitar and do a lot with it-- add Patent-Labels, older hardware, Gibson L-5 tailpiece etc. but I'm no longer getting extensive guitar-project time.
I was told that the control-knobs were original but I'm not sure-- they don't seem to have enough height.
Weight 6-3/4 pounds (lightweight!). Neck scale 25-1/2".
Asking price- US $3250 with worn original Gibson blue-lined black hardshell case

Gibson ES-355 1964 Refinished PROJECT w/hardshell case
This is a great guitar, overall. All of the hardware has been removed, so this includes body/neck/nut ONLY. There are a few areas where guitars are frequently exposed to sweat during playing, so minor flares on the body surface. They wouldn't show well in photos, but I tried (check the photos). Someone at some point decided to refinish the guitar in a sort of caramel-burnt-red color, spray the interior black and re-do the neck rear. The neck rear is really nice. The body finish is flaking along the left side horn. There are a few places along the binding where they didn't quite seem to glue it down firmly so you can see minor gaps in the photos. Overall however, a solid structure, great player and I've really had to juggle whether to sell or keep. The nut width is 1-9/16" (they were doing that on the 355 models before they started it on 335's in 1965), but it feels less narrow than the later 1-9/16" necks, or maybe it's just less arched on the neck rear.
Put on some new hardware and you're ready to play. Or, sand/strip the finish and re-do it in your choice of spray-nitro or stain and coat it with hand-rubbed tung-oil or poly, you've got a great vintage 335-style for a great price. This one however has the more desireable ebony fretboard, modest fret wear (see photos) and the fancier block-inlays and headstock.
The orange label is long gone from what I'm told, apparently it didn't stick too well to the black interior paint and eventually disappeared, whereabouts unknown.
Asking price- US $2750 no case (and I'm taking a big loss on this guitar already)

Gibson Les Paul Custom 1973 Black Beauty formerly owned by Lonestar's Michael Britt-- w/ his road-case
I bought this not long ago from Michael Britt, guitarist for the band Lonestar. He said he got the guitar in 1997 and used it to record Lonely Grill and on the road. He had it re-fretted, of course expertly done. I prefer the standard lower-frets of the 1970's Gibson's. If it wasn't for the frets and my lack of local luthier, I'd probably be keeping this guitar for a long time.
Original neck Patent-Label pickup (7.55k), original bridge Patent-Engraved pickup moved to mid-position, a Seymour Duncan of some sort (12.12k) added in the bridge (looks neck-spaced, possibly a Custom Custom, or a Distortion, I've done the same with a few of my own guitars). Replacement Gibson Kluson Deluxe tuners. Original Patent# bridge. Replacement tailpiece. Control pots 1377317. The guitar had a Bigsby at one time. Original Lonestar smudges ha ha.
Weight 10-1/4 pounds. Modest dent in center of lower bout, possibly overcoated, otherwise minor surface wear.
Mike has included an autographed copy of the info page you see in the listing.
Jimmy Page's Black Beauty was just like this, if you put on a Bigsby. I know, I played it :-)

Asking price- US $3250 with heavy-duty road-tour chainsaw-style case and Lonestar band-tag

Goya LP Deluxe Alpine White BY MARTIN GLP-W 1977(?)
Superb condition, probably 90% with shiny hardware. A very small (3mm?) repaired paint chip on the rear neck-volute, almost impossible to show in the photos. The top-right corner edge of the headstock has some minor wear, could be easily repaired but I don't want to ruin its originality if someone is a collector (I'd find a matching automotive touch-up paint for the job).
All original hardware. The mini-humbuckers sound great (N=7.47k, B=7.51k). The neck shape is much like a Gibson '59 LP profile, unlike many of the typical asian LP's of this period which were narrower or less-deep. Frets are in great condition. Very comparable in structure, sound and quality to the various Gibson LP Deluxe models from the 1970's that I own or have owned. 8-3/4 pounds weight.

Asking price- US $575 with original hardshell case in like-new condition SOLD!

Gretsch White Falcon Jr G7594-JR 2001
Outstanding guitar, show-room condition, only two tiny marks on body lower-rear near jack-pin. All-original. 14-inch wide body, 24-1/2" neck scale, 1-11/16" nut.

Asking price- US $1900 SOLD!

Hagstrom III Red 1965
Appears to be the original red finish. Typical overall condition, fretboard etc of a used, played 1960's Hagstrom solidbody. I believe everything works, I wanted to get this listed and haven't had a chance to check everything over again such as the switches but I'll revise the listing (and possibly price) accordingly.
I see I could use some new photos, as well (heh). At one point I was swapping around the pickguard-assemblies of my various Hag-xxx's and had a pickup-less Hag II on this when I snapped some crappy photos a few years ago or longer. It's back to 3-pickup now.
My notes say it's a 1965 but for some reason the photo listing says 1966. Serial #6419xx so you can check.
No tremolo-bar, sorry!
I'm also considering whether to part this out-- body/neck, or pickguard/assembly, or tremolo mount if anyone makes a good offer. I have other various Hag-II's here with assorted parts and I will be listing them in-part or stripped or fully assembled when I figure out what to do with them.
Basically, for you Hagstrom fanatics, mix'n'match and pick your own body or just make me an offer for what parts you want to buy! Here's a blonde refinish body/neck, a former black stripped-to-primer, and a Hag II white refinished (poorly). I have a few Hagstrom II pickguard assemblies, not sure what the status is on working switches though. Also an extra neck if I recall.

Asking Price $500 no case for the one that's shown

Harmony Silvertone Archtop Acoustic Sunburst 1969
Superb sound, classic example of a 60's Harmony-made Silvertone acoustic Spanish archtop. Adjustable truss-rod! Amazing feature usually not found on these models! No trussplate, though. Bound maple body front and rear. Typical chunky-neck of that era.
In some lighting it appears as a beautiful honey-sunburst, and in other lighting a slight shade of cherry blends in where the sunburst edges merge.
All-orignal from what I can tell, other than added strap-buttons. See the scrapes on the bottom rim in the photos. VERY playable, a favorite for me to grab here at times.

Asking price- US $250

Hohner L-75-Pro LP-style chestnut 1987
Great fun to play, lightweight, superb sound from the Hohner HP G-4 Kent Armstrong dual-coil set-post cream humbuckers (N= 12.81k, B= 13.23k).
Bolt-on neck.

Asking price- US $250 SOLD!

Jay Turser Les Paul JT-200-Pro DC-Style Honey-Flame
Set-neck, like-new condition! Equal quality in structure with Samick and Epiphone Les Paul's, in my opinion. Very surprisingly-good quality guitars!
Gorgeous flame that doen't show nearly as well in photos
Very standard LP-style SET-neck and frets, not a bolt-on.
Practically mint-condition, I bought it because it was so gorgeous but only put in an hour of playing to try it out. I'm going to sell either the JT-200 Red-Sunburst (above) or this one, whichever goes first.
Asking price- US $250 like-new condition, no case; allegedly a rare finish SOLD!

Kay Del Oro Irish Shamrock Spanish-acoustic archtop 1930's
Kay-made Del Oro guitars were made in the late 1930's at least for this model. Cool original deco Lucky-Horseshoes & Shamrocks painted design on this one. Chunky neck, noticeable warp but still decent action because the bridge-base was removed by a former owner. Sounds great. Apparently all-original parts, maybe 80% condition considering its age and student-level quality, modest wear for a 70-year old guitar.

Asking price- US $150 no case

Kay Old Kraftsman Violin-Cello Headstock Spanish-archtop 1937-1938
Apparently affiliated in some way with Tonk Brothers. Definitely a collector's item, it should be playable with new tuners. Yes it's a 6-string guitar. Needs some repairs, but I've run out of time for projects.
ABSOUTELY GORGEOUS body-rear flamed-wood! Check photos.
Apparently a cello company decided to get in on the new guitar-playing craze and began to design guitars based upon a cello. These guitars were made with the front & rear body overhanging the sides. Many had cello necks & headstocks.
The original tuners are intact but most buttons are either missing, or replaced by someone's welded-on metal knobs.
You can see the body cracks on the body-front in the photos. Some bracing is loose underneath, as well.
A very rare and valuable collector guitar. I suspect that the Old Kraftsman tailpiece alone is worth its own fortune to collectors.

Asking price- US $500 with 1930's Kay chipboard case

Kay Old Kraftsman Pacer 5540 Acoustic Thinline 1960 PROJECT
Totally stripped of hardware in this Project listing. Really nice guitar, with a slight neck-curve and no truss-rod. The neck heel has been screwed down but still has a modest gap and could use a neck reset.
Spruce top, flamed maple back and sides (or mahogany sides? can't tell), not sure if the bound-neck is maple or mahogany through the finish. Original finish.
Nice neck profile for an old Kay, it feels more like a 1959 Les Paul style neck to me.
The original control pots were dated 1960 but it's got the appearance of a great old 1940's or 50's. The triple-hump headstock was a fancier version used by Kay in the 1940's until late 1950's. Very solid. Great acoustic sound. Thinline body, 2-5/8 inch body width, great feel.
Yes, somewhere I have a bag with some or all of the original parts but they're not included at this price. And I'd have to track them down and figure out a higher price that includes what's there, if you were interested.
Old Kraftsman was a headstock-brand made by Kay for Spiegel Catalogs.

Asking price- US $100 no case

Ventura Barney Kessel Custom 1970's!
This guitar is a SET-NECK, and NOT a bolt-on like a lot of the other '60's-70's Asian clones! Also note that this guitar has the LAWSUIT-ERA open-book headstock!
Really full deep sound! I was going to keep this rather than my real Gibson Barney Kessel, but now I'm ending up selling both of them, because I'm hardly using thicker-body jazzboxes very much.
Thinner tapered-neck style, 37mm at nut, 46mm at 12th fret, 49.5mm at 20th fret Flatter on the rear than the broomstick-shaped mid/late 60's Gibson's.
Replacement unknown Asian humbucker pickups, they sound incredibly nice, very warm and do a great job pulling out the incredible hollowbody sound.
Condition-- a few small chips & dings on the rear & end of headstock; neck-heel finish cracking but seems structurally sound.
Black headstock rear paint was factory-common on many of the models, copying the same Gibson effect used on many higher-end jazzboxes.
Asking price - $500 no case SOLD!
