Marshall JTM-60 combo in San Antonio for $250

This seller is offering a Marshall JTM-60 for $250 which is a very good price. These amps have a spotty repair record but he says there is "nothing wrong with it." So it may be okay.

The Marshall JTM-60 combo has a nice tone but you may not want to make it your one-and-only go to amp. They are known to blow fuses and to occasionally have volume issues based on overheating, loose output wires and a some funky effects loop wiring. Nice second amp or main amp if you have a backup.

Fender Red Knob Champ 25SE tube amp in Austin TX for $100

Note: That pic is a stock photo I found - there is no photo on this CL listing.

Hey, don't laugh... if you haven't played these amps you've missed out on a little known secret. The Fender Champ 25SE is sometimes referred to as the "Lightweight Fender Twin."

The design of this circuit is very similar to what Leo Fender was doing at MusicMan in the 1980's: solid state Preamp and two 6l6 / 5881 power tubes with a 12AX7 as the phase invertor.

There are lots of mods available to try and make the drive channel on these sound better but IMO why bother? Is there a drive channel on a Vintage Fender Twin? Of course not! Just put a Tube screamer or any other decent drive pedal into the clean channel and you will be good to go.

Very loud little amps. And at $100 you could pay more for the overdrive pedal than you do for this amp - LOL!

BAsic 25 watt Champ. Dirty channel has broken knob and clean works fine. Some knobs could use a clean they are scratchy sometimes. But good loud amp with reverb.
2x6l6 and 1 12ax7. Sounds good for a Fender.

First come first served.

Harmony H-162 acoustic in Van Wert, OH for $125

The guitar this seller is offering looks just like my Harmony H-162. I highly recommend this model as an "under the radar" vintage USA made acoustic. The tops are solid spruce and the sides and neck are solid mahogany (not laminated). They also have nice tortoise-shell type body binding and pickguards.

I can't vouch for the playability of this particular guitar but I just picked up my H-162 this morning and couldn't get over the nice feel and smooth tone and playability even compared to my most expensive Martin Acoustic (approx $2K).

Please be respectful of this seller if you contact him - sounds like he is going through a rough period right now.

Harmony H-54 Rocket in Forest Lake, Minnesota for $375

I see lots of nice vintage guitars for sale in Minnesota - must be some serious tone hounds in that part of the country.

Here is a seller offering a sweet Harmony H54 Rocket - the single cutaway version with mustache pickups - for $375. All that this one seems to need is a new pair of cupcake knobs. Not that hard to find.

I particularly like the fully bound neck on this Rocket. You don't see a lot of single cutaway Rockets with fully bound necks. I think that would make this either a '67 or '68.

Here's a vintage 60's Harmony Rocket H-54 serial #3959. Plays and sound great!!! Neck is straight, No fret wear, action is very comfortable.
A good single cutaway Rocket with the better 'moustache' pickups. No structural issues at all. Has the fantastic 'trestle' bracing under bridge ( like the Gretsch 6120) which reduces the feedback tendancies and improves tone. Electronics function very well. I just plugged it in today and it plays and sounds great! 651-***-**** Terry

Harmony H306A tube combo amp in Oklahoma City area for $225

This seller is offering a nice ratty looking (but great sounding) Harmony H306A for only $225. Don't expect this to be as loud as a Fender Deluxe but you will probably like the cool raunchy biting tone of this 15 watt single 12 in combo.

FYI - Personally, I wouldn't change anything cosmetic on this amp other than adding some cream colored Chickenhead knobs (which are available for super cheap on eBay). Ratty looking amps always sound better than the pretty ones IMO.

Silvertone 628 / Harmony H1200 in Memphis for $275

You don't see these guitars come up for sale very often.

Produced for only a couple of years (1954-1958) the H-1200 is one of the nicest acoustic guitars to come out of the Harmony Chicago factory. A solid spruce top and solid maple body - beautiful Rosewood fretboard (most likely Brazilian) and inlaid MOP markers and fancy acetate headstock overlay.

This probably has about the same dimensions as a modern Taylor 815 jumbo cutaway but don't expect a thin neck on this one - it was the 1950's after all - it should be nice and wide and thick - perfect for Jazz or beefy blues.
