Kay VIntage Jazzbox in Raleigh NC area for $300 - nice

This looks like an early 1950's full size vintage Kay Jazzbox with nice trapezoid inlays on the neck and possible P13 or silmilar pickup (??) - If it is in good playing shape then this is a nice deal.

The guy I got it from said he got it in 1955 and it looks older than that. I tried to find the model online but none are like this. It has Kay on the top but no numbers anywhere. Both knobs turn but I cant test to see if it works. It has a case and 2 sets of strings. It believe it could be cleaned up and would be a fine guitar. The prices I found for kays are from $20 to $1250 and I can't find any exactly like this. Im asking $300 or best offer.

Wayne's World Strat - MIJ - in Indianapolis IN for $340

Here is a nice Wayne's World Strat - these were all made in 1992 in japan - any other versions will de designated as WW2 - have one of these as well and it has a sweet neck and is an all around excellent player - the upgraded pickyups will be a big improvement - along with the tuners they are the only real downside to this guitar so I'd recommend buyi8ng it with the upgrades and just keeping the original pickups for future collector value.   These are nice solid Strats - basically a MIJ 62 reissue with a few minor concesions.

MIJ Squier Stratocaster, 60s Reissue, Wayne's World Model. Upgraded with two American Standard pickups in the neck/middle positions (reverse wound in middle position for hum cancelling in positions 2 and 4). Texas special pickup in the bridge. Original pickups included. This guitar is all 60s reissue specs--olympic white body, 21 fret thin 7.25 radius neck, vintage style tremolo unit and split post tuners (sealed die cast type--not Kluson style; this is my only beef with this guitar). The pickups make this guitar, but I will sell it without the upgraded pickups for $280 firm. Guitar neck is in great shape; body has only a few minor dings in the paint. Solid neck joint--this is a great guitar.


Call or text Matt at 765-432-8985. Local pickup in Plainfield. No trades unless you have a Classic Vibe 50s Strat or a Classic Vibe Duo Sonic (plus cash with upgraded pickups).

I emailed this seller about prices and he said basically that he wants $250 for the Kay (Red Speed Demon) and $200 for the Kingston (EP-9T) and $200 for the Harmony (looks like a 1940's archtop).

Those are pretty good prices - especially for the Kay.   His name is John at 480-239-2307

Fernandes Vertigo Deluxe MIJ guitar in Phoenix for $325

I don't often highlight Heavy Metal guitars in this blog but these Fernandes Vertigo Deluxe models have an excellent reputation and this one is selling fairly cheap in Phoenix AZ.   This is the Set neck MIJ high end version with the SD high output humbuckers - serious hard rock or metal type guitar. The Fernandes factory in Japan has a great rep and these are popular "with the kids."  I also personally think the shape is terrific.

Today is the last day this guitar is for sale as I am leaving Atlanta on Wednesday.. So this is your last chance, I've gotten a lot of emails from people interested in this guitar who never reply back.. SO!! If you really want this guitar I will be in dunwoody tonight. At the mellow mushroom if you want to stop by and try it.... This is an early sixties Sears model 1448 Silvertone. I've had this guitar for 5 years and only used it for 5 shows at most. The condition is amazing, the sound and action are also wonderful - for a 40+ year old guitar and tube amp you will not find a better deal.. today is THE LAST DAY - I'm leaving town and tired of dealing with people who don't have their shit together. If you are serious please email me your phone number I will be checking my email regularly. These go for about $450 on Ebay.

thanks.

Crate Vintage Club 50 tube 2x12 USA amp in LA for $250




This is a heck of a lot of 2 x 12 tube amp for only $250. I've seen and heard these used as gigging amps several times - replacing the speakers and one or two of the preamp tubes makes a huge bnoticeable improvement in tone as well.

50 watt all-tube combo amplifier from mid '90s. Two channels (clean and gain), both with individual reverb controls. Two 12" speakers. Footswitch included.

This is a nice workhorse amp. Heavy and solidly built in the USA. It has been gigged on, so the tolex has some wear and tear, but nothing horrible. Can get plenty loud--would be good for blues, rock or even punk. Probably could handle just about any style except metal. Decent headroom, and the overdrive channel warms up nicely.

There has been some minor repair work done to the circuit board, but everything works fine (just want to be up front).

Burns Marquis (RI) electric in North Jersey for $350


Though this is not a vintage 60's Burns guitar these Reissues are pretty cool and they are hard to find here in the USA for a decent price. This one is about half the price of a new imported Marquis - I like these better than the Burns RI Cobra which is basically just a Strat Copy - this one looks like a Burns Bison. And it is dark green which is the same color s Elvis' famous Burns 6+6. Niiiice.

Harmony H303B Tube amp project in Northridge CA for $30



This is one of those "widowmaker" amps with no output ransformer - but they can still sound pretty cool. Uses 50C5 output tube 12AU6 and 35W4 rectifier tube.

This one obviously needs a complete cap job - but that should be less than $50 (or do it yourself) The Jensen 8 inch is a nice plus though it also needs repair.

Hey, I'm selling a Harmony H303B guitar amp. The power section works just fine, tubes light up, and speaker makes a hum, but I couldn't get my guitar to actually be heard. Could be as simple as a bad input jack, but I really have no idea. This might be a fun project for someone. Includes a Jensen 8" speaker that has a very small (about 1/4 inch) tear in it.

These little 432 are extremely cool Magnatones - they have BOTH the Pitch Shifting Vibrato and tube Tremolo circuit - and they have Tube Reverb - all into a 12 inch speaker in a nice compact 20 x 22 x 10 inch package. What's not to love?! Oh, well they do use a slightly rare ELL80 power tube (about 12 watts) but the tubes last a long time in these babies. Magnatones are extrenmely well built amps.

I have a really cool and unique sounding '60s Estey Magnatone amp. Single 12" Speaker. It is all in good shape, I had it gone over and the power plug replaced with a grounded one by Brian Sours. Being a '60s tube amp it's not the quietest amp in the world, but it's what you'd expect. The reverb, trem and vibrato all work, and I believe the footswitch outs work as well, but I don't have a footswitch to try them. The three inputs all provide their own cool character, and allow you to go from a clean vibrato spaghetti western tone all the way to way loud raunchy overdrive. It is about 12 watts, and I would say in the same power range as a Blues Junior. Let me know if you want to try it out.

Encore 335 style Semi Hollow in Western Mass for $300 obo




This guitar looks black in the pics but the seller says it is a "Greenburst" which makes it a very cool looking Univox/Ventura/Aria Diamond guitar. Note that it has the two switches - one on each bout - and the angular single coil pickups just like the red Japanese Crestwood Astral II that Jack White plays. I listed a similar guitar a while back with an Ideal nametag but that only had the two knobs (like Jack's) this one has four. These can be alot of fun for the money.

1991 American made Fender Ultra Strat with Lace Sensor Pickups. Body is traditional Fender Alder with a maple neck. Tuners are Sperzel. Pick guard has been upgraded to pearl. Trem stabilizer is installed. Comes with a hard shell case. This Strat is THE BEST sounding and playing I have had. There is some wear on the finish and frets.....it's 20 years old. This is a classic Fender guitar. The sound is incredible and the Lace Sensors give a wide array of tones. Looking at this guitar (and playing), there isn't a lot of difference fom the SRV model...except the SRV sticker. This guitar is selling for around $1300.00.
Now for those of you who do not understand how pricing for desirable older guitars works, I'll make it simple. I have shaved off about $400 from my estimated value to compensate for the wear on the finish. Now if it was being sold in a guitar shop somewhere like Nashville, they'd call it a vintage guitar, slap $1300.00 on it, tell you it was played by Eric Clapton and you'd be giddey to have it. Well, I'm just trying to sell it for what it is....a very good Fender Strat. I'm asking $450.00. In other words, please no tire kickers.
