Created by legendary Rickenbacker and Gibson designer Roger Rossmeisl, and introduced in 1966 as Fender’s answer to the big-selling Gibson, Gretsch and Rickenbacker hollowbody instruments, Coronado models are now some of the most in-demand vintage guitars around – prices on some models have more than doubled over the past couple of years. Twelve-string models are relatively scarce, and one in this sort of condition is a particularly nice find. All original, including the fantastic sounding (Fender stamped) DeArmond single-coil pickups, our Sunburst Coronado XII is, from tip to t...

Here’s a really cool reliced ‘Strat’, put together by a top US west coast builder, and lordy, what a fine playing, fine sounding unit it is! With a custom built body of super-dry White Pine – recycled from hundred year old American mid-west barn doors – and a fantastic sounding, calibrated set of Tonerider ‘Classic Blues’ pickups, here’s the machine that’s gonna make your blues-rock dreams come true. The ultra-dry White Pine has a chiming tone that your average Strat is unable to match, and though there’s some terrific sounding blues/blues-rock aftermarket pickups available f...

By 1965, when this great Vox Ace was built, the worldwide guitar boom, kicked off by the Beatles, was headed for its first massive peak. With a backline of Vox amps clearly visible at every show they played, the fab four, and later the Rolling Stones and others, helped generate sales figures the homegrown brand could never previously have imagined. At their peak Vox were running two factories in the UK, while across the channel in Italy, Eko were also furiously churning out Vox guitars. But, as evidenced by the headstock logo, this Ace is all British, an early 1965 product of th...

VERY NICE! With a reputation as the most player-friendly of all the vintage 12-strings, the Burns Baldwin ‘Double Six’ has a lovely wide neck that really does make playing a breeze. Many people find Rickenbacker and Fender necks just that bit too narrow to get around comfortably, but Burns nailed it perfectly with the Double Six. The neck width at the nut is 1⅞”, (47mm), and 2⅛”, (53mm), at the 12th fret. This very fine Double Six comes to us from the personal collection of Sean Kelly, original guitarist with the legendary TISM, and is from the period when Jim Bur...

WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A CRATE LOAD OF GUITARS FROM OUR MOST RECENT US BUYING TRIP, AND NEED TO MAKE ROOM FOR ALL THE NEW GUITARS, SO WE ARE SLASHING SOME OF OUR OLDER STOCK TO HALF PRICE! Made only for a short time during 2000, the Icon quickly evolved into the extraordinary Dean Hardtail – the Icon effectively the prototype Hardtail. This is a brand new, ‘new old stock’ item, looking something like a Paul Reed Smith meets a Les Paul Custom – but cooler! A Maple-topped mahogany body, set neck, rosewood fingerboard, stunning mother-of-pearl dot inlays, chrome hardware, humbuck...

Read to the end for an amazing Just Guitars upgrade with this guitar… You’re not going to find an original 1969 Thinline Tele in this condition anywhere short of six or eight thousand dollars. You’re also not going to find an original 1969 Thinline Tele, with a fully carved Mahogany body, this side of twelve or fifteen grand! However, this incredible Just Guitars Thinline relic job is yours for under $2000 – and you’ll have ten grand or more that you can leave in the bank. Starting out with a brand new, old stock ’69 Reissue Thinline from 2003, with a carved and fully chamber...

Delaware based, Dana Sutcliffe first came to the attention of the greater music world for the work he did during the eighties, customizing guitars for fellow Delawarean, George Thorogood. Sutcliffe ran his own custom design and repair shop, and later worked for the St Louis Music corporation, designing their famous Westone models, before developing the Scoop series under the company’s revived Alvarez brand name. Sutcliffe’s patented research showed that isolating the point of direct contact between the end of the neck and the body allows a guitar to resonate freely, eliminating...

Debuting along with its sibling, the ES-335, in 1958, the ES-355 was Gibson’s deluxe version of their ace new thinline electric, featuring gold hardware, classy multi-ply binding, plus Varitone control. And if that wasn’t enough, from 1959 it also came in that whacky new-fangled stereo! But stereo guitar output didn’t really catch on, and soon the model was offered once more in mono, resulting in almost every stereo example seen on the vintage market having had its output converted to standard mono, as is the case here. This superb ES-355* example comes to us from a well known M...

SonicF guitars are exclusive in Australia to Just Guitars, and we’re absolutely stoked to present the latest pair of custom built offerings from Seattle builder Sean Folan*. First up is the Z15 – a guitar with such out there styling it’s thirty minutes into the gig before you’ve even plugged it in! Sometimes building from scratch, sometimes recycling bodies and parts from vintage instruments, every SonicF guitar is a complete one-off. The model number is also the serial number; the Z15 is therefore just the fifteenth of Folan’s SonicF production models. Featuring a hand-carve...

Introduced in 1965 as the J-54, two years later Eko changed this model’s name to the Ranger VI, under which moniker it went on to become part of the biggest selling European guitar series of all time. With their incredibly robust construction, Rangers came to be known as “the busker’s friend” – their rock-solid construction will withstand just about anything. Many UK and European artists relied on the Italian-built Eko guitars throughout the sixties and seventies, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page being one of the best known names, owning both Ranger six and twelve string models. (The r...

Well this is just insanely nice! Brand new, still in its original PRS shipping carton, a 2011 model Custom 24 with one of the most amazing one-piece tops you've ever seen. We've done the best we can with the photos, but the digital images simply cannot reproduce the unbelievable 3D depth and richness of color of the Back Cherry finished quilted Maple. It's a pity the PRS rating system doesn't go higher than 10, because although indicated as a prestige '10 Top' on the back of the headstock, (see pic # 8), this example is more like a 30! It really is that nice. Paul Reed Smith him...

The Hofner 172 is one of those guitars that’s permanently on the Just Guitars want list. Unfortunately we run across them only very infrequently, so when we do spot one, we pounce! These are one of the great vintage guitars, and this example is the cleanest and coolest we’ve ever seen. A brief historical note before we tell you all about this amazingly cool guitar… With the huge impact of the Beatles and other beat groups in Britain and Europe in the early sixties, suddenly everyone wanted to play guitar and put a band together, and everyone wanted Hofner guitars because that’s ...

There’s just no other way to say it – this guitar is in absolutely extraordinary condition! It’s like someone broke into the Fender museum and made off with one of the prize exhibits. One owner from new, we’re confident this is the nicest vintage Jazzmaster currently on the market in all of Australia. A major contributor to its incredible condition is that it comes complete with its original – and beyond rare – ‘Jazzmaster Protector’. Admittedly one of Fender’s genuine oddball moments, the sculpted plastic back protector, (kept in place by the strap buttons), has ensured the back ...

Almost perversely, Dan Smith’s second variation of the Stratocaster was probably an improvement over his 1981–83 version. Despite another batch of cost-cutting moves for his CBS bosses, the model that came of the lines later in 1983, running through to ’84 was far more in keeping with Leo Fender’s fifties designs, including the smaller, more accurate headstock shape, proper 4-bolt neckplate and the truss-rod adjustment shifted back to the headstock. It’s doubtful that before he shifted across to Fender from Yamaha USA, at the behest of CBS, whether Smith could ever have imagined...

Introduced in 1993, the 650 Dakota quickly became the most popular guitar in the entire Rickenbacker catalogue – and with good reason! With its stunning, Tung-oil finished, solid Walnut and hard-rock Maple body, it feels sexy-smooth in your hands. The incomparable neck-through design allows for awesome sustain, and there’s even some of that legendary Rickenbacker jingle-jangle in there! The list of dynamite attributes goes on and on with the Dakota: the hand-rubbed Tung-oil finish makes for a very fast neck, letting you get from one end of the 24-fret neck to the other at lightn...
