Airline Hollow Body Electric from the 1960's at GC in Greensboro NC for $249 - Jack White Special!!

The Guitar center in Greensboro NC is selling this Airline labeled Kay N-3 hollow body electric from the early 1960's for only $249.  That is a great price if it is in good shape and the electronics work well.

This is the same model that Jack plays in "It Might Get Loud" and he usually keeps it covered in cardboard (he says this is for no reason but I suspect it is to reduce the feedback from the totally hollow body).

Bruno Conqueror 60's Japan Semi Hollow electric in Provo UT area for $75

here is a nice deal for somebody.  This seller is offering an Aria made Bruno, similar to the Univox and Ventura models, for $75.  It sounds like it is in good working condition.   He says it has a "Memphis neck" and from the picture it is clearly a four bolt neck off a different "Memphis" brand guitar.  That would probably be 70's not 60's.  I wouldn't guess that is the best neck for this type guitar, but it might not be terrible either.  A better solution would be to find one of the many similar 1960's Japan hollow body's with trashed electronics that you can find fairly cheap and just borrow the neck off one of those.  No matter what this should be a fairly good deal for a vintage MIJ player - it will just need some tweakin' fer sure.

Collection of 22 Vox Amps near Sacramento, CA for $65K

This is one of the most bizarre listings I've ever seen - this guy has 22 freaking Vox amps.  WTF?  You think this guy even has a wife?  I can't imagine.  hehe.

I don't even know if this is a good deal or not - a bunch of these Beatle amps are actually Solid State models - since that is what the Beatles themselves also used at one time or another - but the collectors must be getting all in a tizzy at the idea all these models will be flooding the market soon LOL.  Check it out.

I am an older man who loves the Beatles and played in bands through and past college. I've been collecting Vox amps for 45 years. I am selling my outstanding collection of Vox amps as a group only. There is an AC100, Supreme, many many Beatle amps. There are 22 listed and I'm throwing in 3 more for free. Email for more info. As you may suspect, there is no way to ship all these safely so you will need a truck to pick them up. I am outside sacramento. If you see what looks like round objects or stains on anything it is the camera lens that is causing that. thanks
Price: $65,000

Aria Japanese 335 in Eugene, OR for $350

I've seen a lot of ES-335 copies from Japan but other than some of the Yamaha models this one looks more beautiful than most.   I'd expect it to sound and play nice as well.  That is a set neck - Aria (and Univox) would still put the little two screw plates on the set necks because the Japanese luthiers just wanted to make sure they were secure.

*Rare!* Vintage Japanese 335-style hollowbody electric - $350 (Eugene/Springfield)

image 1image 2image 3
Up for sale: a nameless but beautiful 335 copy. The pickups are stamped underneath as Maxons, which indicates this guitar was probably made in Japan's Matsumoku factory in the late 60s or early 70s; likely from the Aria line. It features all gold hardware with Gibson-style keystone tuning machines, all original save the gold Schaller strap-locks. Rosewood fretboard with Mother-of-Pearl block inlays. The finish is a beautiful transparent cherry burst that exposes a magnificently detailed flame maple top; the maple also appears to be spalted inside as well, a very cool piece of wood. 5-piece maple neck with elaborate binding, this guitar looks and sounds amazing. Comes with a hardshell Roadrunner ABS case. Serious inquiries only please.

1965 Magnatone Guitar designed by Paul Barth in Salt Lake City for $449

This seller is offering a very rare guitar - though it is missing part of the bridge so that could be very hard to find if you wanted to get an original replacement part.  Magnatone produced several different lines of electric guitars over the years some designed by Paul Bigsby, others by Paul Barth after he left Rickenbacker and before he formed his own Bartell company.   This one appears to have Rickenbacker "toaster" pickups. 

Note:  I believe these were all originally sunburst so this guitar may well have been stripped and refinished.

vintage magnatone electric guitar rickenbacker richenbacher Paul barth - $449

i'm not 100 percent on the serial number or the model of this guitar, but a little googling has led me to think it's from the early 60s and is a mark vii or something thereabouts. it's a full size electric guitar. missing the bridge and bridge cover (as you can see in the pics) but it otherwise still very nice overall. i bought this at an estate sale some time ago intending to get it playing but have had it a long time and it just hangs on the wall looking pretty. electronics were tested when i first got it and it played well, but i didn't want to leave it assembled with non-original parts. so you'd be buying this as is/as pictured. has a cool paisley pickguard and matching pattern on the neck. tuning pegs work as they should. guitar is very lightweight and very cute. will ship via parcel post or ups - whichever a buyer prefers. no case included. located near 70th south and redwood. call or text 801*** ****
