GRETSCH 1968 WHITE FALCON AMERICAN BEAUTY |
A rare dream guitar to own, the white falcon's are one of the iconic guitars of the 50's and 60's, alongside the Stratocaster and Les Pauls of the era, they make a fine addition to any collection. Getting quite hard to find nowadays at all, this particular one in the rarer and more desirable mono version, currently I believe one of the only ones on offer currently in the world..!! (as far as I can see)....it's def. been a players guitar and shows wear overall and along the back of the neck, the binding although all there has shrunk in several spots and if it was to be used as a stage guitar mite need to be looked at at some time or if your just looking to collect this piece of rock and roll history you wouldn't need to do anything to it. The 24ct gold plated parts show wear as well but all I all it's all there. I've played this one myself many times now through our 64 AC-30 and what can I say, a killer sounding guitar that's much underrated as a stage or recording guitar, you wont be disappointed at all with this piece of classic history, def. recommended for the collector....comes with it's original case....recommended |

FENDER 1964 STRATOCASTER RARE LAKE PLACID BLUE EXC++ CONDITION
|
Here is a really cool vintage strat, featuring the rosewood slab board which gives those warm tones so often heard on some of those great records of the 60's. This one was a closet guitar in the sense that it has been stored since 1974 approx. and was never played since then, prior to this is was played a fair bit and shows some battle scares as can be seen in some of the pics. During this storage period the green guard has shrunk quite a bit and one corner has broken off and there's a break above the neck pickup. It plays well and does show wear on all frets and fretboard, one of the tone knobs is missing as well. It does come with the bridge cover and trem arm and original strap is in the Australian delivered case, all pickups and pots are 1964 and all solder is in place, no changed parts at all...neck date 1964 as well and the spaghetti logo is in exc. condition, the E6 tuner is very worn and although does hold tune I would recommend a replacement if playing live...overall a great condition strat and one for the collection, hang it on wall or play it live that's your choice, anyway you want it you wont be disappointed, for a personal viewing give me a call.... | SEE NEW ARRIVALS FOR PRICE Payment Options

FENDER TELECASTER 1979 Blonde
|
Here is a very nice tele from the late 70's in beautiful blonde, it comes with it's original case and hang tag with serial numbers matching, overall in exc+++ condition but it was a under the bed special for the last 20 years and as such a bit of the red velvet has attached it self colour wise to the back of the body and sides etc as can be seen in the pics....gives it the providence of a under the bed guitar. The bridge at some time in the past was changed for a ESP one, not my favorite but it does the job, a original one could be had from a auction site pretty easily, the frets show minimal wear, are a bit green with tarnishing, we've decided to leave this to show it hasn't been played for a while, overall a great sounding tele, full of rich tones from the neck pickup and serious country tones from the bridge pickup...all cool bit of 70's rock....all other electrics and hardware original | SYDNEY PRICE...$4500

| GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM 1956 BLACK BEAUTY
|
This is one great guitar, highly desirable, has the 1 x p90 and the 1 x alnico pickup, body is all mahogany giving it a smoother jazzy sound some would say, although this guitar still rocks, Clapton played one on stage as well...the fretboard is ebony and these were the first les pauls to feature the split diamond logo on the headstock, pickguard is black and white multi layered, has the tunamatic and stop tailpiece, all fittings are gold plated and of course show wear, but in general the guitar shows little playing wear but on the top there are a few tiny dings where it would seem at some stage the player had a gold wrist chain on and this caused all those little dents you can see to the left of the E6 string, the tuners have been replaced with replica's but I will try and locate some authentic ones, but in the meantime it's sold with these, case is original as well, all electrics/pots/bumble bee's are original as well, a great playing guitar that does appreciate significantly and one that would add a great prestige to your collection...a rare guitar to find globally and especially here in Oz, I would love to see this guitar stay here in Australia....please call me personally to find out more about this wonderful highly collectable masterpiece.. | $poa...aud |
