Well here’s a bit of a treat – this amazing Jimmy Vaughan model Strat is in Excellent+ condition and you need to own it! The special soft-V shaped neck on the Jimmy Vaughan signature model Stratocaster has long been hailed as one of the best that Fender have ever created – and this one's no exception, feeling super-comfy in your hand, and allowing you to carve off those rock and blues licks lightning fast! With a career dating right back to his first band opening for Jimi Hendrix at a show in Fort Worth, Texas in 1969, Jimmie Vaughan, (along with his brother, Stevie Ray), has...

Check out one of the most amazing Brazilian Rosewood backs you’ll ever see. The Oak sides and Adirondack or Red Spruce top are pretty amazing, too. In fact, the whole guitar is pretty amazing! From somewhere around the mid-1920s, this Columbia branded parlor guitar was built by the venerable Oscar Schmidt company of New Jersey, for music distributors James H Buckbee of New York. Columbia guitars from the late 1800s through to the 1930s found their way into the hands of many folk, gospel and blues musicians of the day, including the likes of Blind Willie Johnson, one of the artis...

Here’s a magnificent find! From Sweden, a 1966 Hagstrom I, in truly amazing condition. Running across a guitar over 45 years old in such fine shape is one of the biggest thrills going in the vintage guitar business, so this is an absolute treat. Introduced in 1962, and marketed throughout Europe and the UK as the Futurama, this 1966 model was sold exclusively in the United States, where it was known as the Hagstrom I, (often referred to as simply the H-1). With a range of refinements over the preceding four years, this was the model’s final variation, and very much its finest in...

From the same Fender design team responsible for the humbucker-fitted Thinline and Custom Telecasters, 1973 saw the debut of a third in the series, the Tele Deluxe, seemingly aimed at those players wanting both a little bit of Les Paul and Strat in their Tele, the Deluxe coming with humbuckers, plus the Stratocaster’s neck and belly contour. Regularly selling from upwards of $5000, this fantastic example here is less than half that bottom end figure! On consignment from a well known Melbourne player, this is definitely a player’s guitar, featuring stripped finish, (the guitar wa...

Here’s a real piece of history – what we think is a pre-production model Supro ‘Pocket ‘Bass’, featuring several design differences to the model released the following year. Supro guitars and amps were a brand of the Chicago based National / Dobro / Valco conglomerate, sold through instrument retailers across the United States, along with often identical instruments branded as Airline, also sold nationally, though exclusively through the Ward’s catalogue and department store chain. The Pocket Bass was revolutionary as the fifties turned into the sixties, and is still so today...

Along with their own Les Paul and Fender’s Stratocaster and Telecaster, Gibson’s ES-335 has been one of the cornerstones of modern music making, since its introduction way back in 1958. Gibson list some of the best known 335 players as BB King, Dave Grohl, Eric Johnson, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Roy Orbison and Larry Carlton – a wide range of music styles, all easily playable with this legendary guitar. Other 335 players of note include Alvin Lee, Andy Summers from the Police, Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys and Robby Krieger from the Doors, Lee Ritenour, Eddie Van Halen and blues l...

Fender’s limited edition Splatter Strats were made in 2003 only, and began climbing in price the minute production ended, especially outside the USA. Conceived at Fender’s R&D division in Arizona and built during 2003 at their state-of-the-art plant in Ensenada, no two Splatter Strats are the same, each one featuring its own completely unique paint job. Many people have bought Splatter Strats purely to hang on their living-room wall – it’s art that you can plug in to an amp! Now becoming really hard to find – especially with only a very limited Australian availability at the tim...

Using some of their classic sixties designs as a starting point, the BG-29 was Fender’s first ever acoustic bass, so they went all out to get it exactly right – reflected in solid 4½ star reviews by numerous happy owners. From premium timbers to the electronics to the detailing, this is a seriously nice bass! A dreadnought-size acoustic, Fender added a top-flight Fishman ‘Classic 4’ active pre-amp, for spot-on reproduction of the instrument’s fabulous acoustic tone. The pre-amp provides bass, treble and mid-range adjustment, plus volume and brilliance controls, (see pic # 6). ...

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! “Rat Fink” Bass by Lace, 2003, (new old stock), 100% MINT! Probably the last new example of these awesome basses in captivity. From Lace Industries – world famous for their Fender ‘Sensor’ pickups – the Rat Fink line honors legendary hot-rod builder “Big Daddy” Ed Roth and his pioneering work in air-brush artwork. Roth, and his equally legendary cartoon character, “Rat Fink”, became famous wo...

Here at Just Guitars we go out of our way to find some of the world’s very best guitars for the Australian music community – this killer Les Paul was waiting for us in Seattle. Undoubtedly one of the top three Les Pauls we’ve had through in the past five years – and the others were double and triple the price of this one – it’s hard to believe that the AA-grade flamed Maple top – in Gibson’s highly desirable Desert Burst finish – wasn’t set aside for a Custom Shop model. The three images in pic # 4 will give you some idea of how the flame changes with the angle of the light, but...

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! What a magnificent instrument – this is one of the most beautiful looking guitars you will ever see! From the famous Carvin Custom Shop in San Diego, California, a factory left-handed TL60 in custom Cherry Sunburst, that, other than being set up in our workshop, has never been played! (The original owner apparently only ever took it out of its case to show friends, considering it, “just too nic...

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! Gretsch G2202 Electromatic Junior Jet Bass, BRAND NEW old stock, with insanely nice Ryman Road Case, (see below). Short-scale basses are in big demand these days, and this Gretsch is one of the best short-scale models around. (Discontinued after the Fender takeover, these are now very hard to find) Put a set of flatwounds on it and you’ve got yourself a bass that’ll sound like you’ve laid out t...

Renamed the SG Bass from the famous EB-3 on its 2005 reintroduction to the Gibson line, the SG Supreme model was a strictly limited production run for their 2007 ‘Guitar Of The Week’ series. The Supreme was in fact, the very first of the Guitar Of The Week offerings, and all instruments were snapped up very quickly. We found this all original, Near Mint example late one rainy afternoon in Seattle, on our most recent US buying trip, and could very easily have resold it almost straight away to the desk clerk at our hotel, so taken was he with its cool and funky vibe! With produ...

The triple-platinum selling Travelling Wilburys – comprising Bob Dylan, (Lucky Wilbury), George Harrison, (Nelson Wilbury), Tom Petty, (Charlie), Jeff Lynne, (Otis), and Roy Orbison, (Lefty) – were the perfect band to help the newly restructured Gretsch company back into the guitar world’s bigtime. Hot on the heels of the Wilburys’ 1988 debut Vol. 1 album, with smash worldwide hits including ‘Handle With Care’ and ‘End Of The Line’, George Harrison and Fred Gretsch came up with the idea of the group promoting their own line of Gretsch-branded guitars, to help re-launch the compa...
