Mmmmm, ain’t nuthin’ finer than a vintage Red, all original, super sexy, Fender Mustang! (If you’re even halfway serious about music, you’ve got to have an original Mustang to go with your vintage Strat or Les Paul) We recently picked up this amazing one owner Mustang in San Diego, and it’s everything a legendary guitar should be – and then some. A serious chunk of solid Ash, weighing in at 8lb 4oz, (3.7kg), with every atom of it resonating stunningly – this Mustang is the epitome of tone! And did we mention all original? Exactly as it left the Fender plant in California 42 year...

How cool is this? An all original – including its original hard-shell Fender case – February 1979 Musicmaster, in the most highly desirable Black-on-Black – Black finish, Black scratchplate, Black pickup cover – you can’t beat that! (And capping the whole deal off perfectly, a Rosewood board, which always looks much cooler than Maple on a black Fender) With a single single-coil pickup, single volume and single tone control, this is ya raw rock axe! We’ve noticed Musicmasters popping up quite a bit lately in music videos and on stage – a recent band on Letterman featured an ident...

Fully hand built in Seattle, Washington, by boutique guitar builder Sean Folan*, the SonicF is a killer axe – the sound of a vintage Les Paul Special, with all the playability of a Strat! All components, from the timbers to the tuners, are hand-selected for each instrument. The model number is also the serial number, as each guitar is a 100% one-off original – the Z3 was therefore just the third of Folan’s SonicF production models. Completed in June last year, the Z3 features an Alder back with a 2-piece White Mahogany top, Maple neck, a 25.5”scale Rosewood board and 22-medium f...

Here’s another great vintage instrument from the heyday of Chicago's mighty National/Supro/Valco organization. Supro’s first 22” scale ‘Super’ model appeared in 1958, lasting until 1963, however this incredibly rare Silverburst option, (the Supro catalogue called it “Black and Ivory sunburst”), was only available for a period of less than twelve months, during 1959 and ’60. With pots from late September of 1959, the serial number dates the instrument to mid-1960, and for a fifty year old guitar, this one is in truly excellent condition, with just a scattered handful of small pai...

Studio quality at an insanely low price. This great-playing 22-fret PS-1 Performer came to us direct from a well-known recording studio in LA, where it’s been part of the in-house gear lineup for the last decade or so, during which time it’s been used on countless US radio and TV ads, film scores and other session work. (You can tell it’s a studio axe, with just some light playwear on the front, [mostly on the scratchplate], while the back is almost mint!) We’re well aware of just how good the Performer models are, as we’ve had a couple in before – one in Black and one in a Blue...

The Victoria line was a brand of Buegeleisen & Jacobson, New York, (who also manufactured the prestigious S.S. Stewart guitars, mandolins and banjos). Alongside their own manufacturing capabilities, Buegeleisen & Jacobson also imported some of their lines from top European manufacturers, and had some instruments built for them by several other US makers. Construction on this lovely bowl-back mandolin appears more American than European, and it is very similar to Martin’s turn of the century Style 1 and 00 models, (less so to any specific Washburn model), so it’s highly likely that ...

You can immediately see the Mosrite and Standel connections in Hallmark’s famous Swept-Wing design – Joe Hall designed guitars for both companies back in the day, before setting up his Hallmark production facility in Bakersfield, California in 1966. Hall’s original partner Bill Gruggett, in association with Bob Shade, resurrected the Hallmark line in 2004, and now based in Greenbelt, Maryland, the pair are once more making these fine instruments available to the discerning player. Bought as an investment, this stunning instrument was played for maybe five minutes, and has been...

Here’s a great piece of real vintage American guitar building, at a price anyone can afford. If you want the instant vibe of a vintage axe, but don’t have the bucks to lay out on a ’65 Strat or SG, then this one is for you! Built at Kay’s plant in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, the Vanguard series was brand new for 1965. (The series consisted of three models, with one, two and three pickups) Featuring a Sunburst finish over a solid Maple front and back, with a hardwood core, plus an exclusive new Vanguard single-coil pickup, (“newly designed powerful magnetic pickup unit,” the cat...

Intended as a limited edition tribute model of one the world’s most famous guitars – Steve Vai’s legendary JEM77, which he originally hand-decorated with the same material used for the curtains in his studio, (or his house, or his parent’s house, depending on which story you care to believe) – this guitar was produced as a sample/display model for a Japanese guitar show, with the floral pattern printed directly onto the body and headstock, and although over a thousand people registered interest in this budget model, it never went through to production. Brand new apart from havin...

The original camp ukes were made from barrel hoops and cowhide, knocked together for fireside entertainment as the pioneers’ wagon-trains journeyed into the American Wild West, during the 1800s. By the turn of the century the design had been appropriated by several manufacturers, with Lyon & Healy creating the first of the all timber models during the mid-1920s. Some authorities state that this Gretsch version of the Lyon & Healy design was only produced during 1940, while others suggest they may have appeared as early as 1936 – regardless, this fantastic little camp uke is basi...

Gibson made just 139 super high-quality Nouveau instruments, across a few months of 1986/87, before realising they were losing money on every one, (particularly the 12-strings), at which point the specifications were substantially stripped down and the guitars were re-branded as an Epiphone budget line. It’s very rare for any of the original 139 to come onto the market, let alone a 12-string version, and we believe this may be the only one ever offered for sale in Australia. Bodies and necks of the production Nouveau models were shaped in Japan, with the instruments then finishe...

Thanks to Jack White of the White Stripes, everyone now knows just how cool these old Airline guitars are. Originally available only through the Chicago-based Montgomery Ward department stores & catalogue company, White’s championing of the Airline ‘JB Hutto’ and other models means the brand is now in big demand all around the world. Built for Montgomery Ward by the giant National/Supro/Valco company, who were also based in Chicago, there was an Airline model for everyone, from acoustics and big bodied jazz boxes to basses and a score of different solidbody electrics. The B...

Built at Egmond’s plant at Best in Holland, and introduced around 1964/65, the EG series “borrowed” the best design features of Fender’s Stratocaster and Jazzmaster models, then gave them a bit of a European twist. Egmond instruments were already famous for having been played by at least two of the Beatles, and as the world was overcome by the electric guitar frenzy surrounding the British Invasion, Egmond found themselves very busy indeed, keeping up with demand. At the same time as they were increasing production quotas, Egmond made big improvements in the quality of their gui...

The majority of instruments in “The Paul” range were the standard, non-Deluxe model, with a one-piece Walnut body – this superb, all original Les Paul model is the more rare slab Mahogany version, complete with an Ebony board, and a killer set of original Dirty Fingers humbuckers. Most likely due to the correct covers not arriving in time, the first 50 or so Paul Deluxes came with ‘Firebrand’ above “The Paul” Deluxe on the truss-rod cover. It didn’t really make sense to use them, as these guitars were not part of the Firebrand range, (nor are they the same as the significantly c...
