1975 Hagstrom Swede in Mississippi for $375

This looks like a 1975 Hagstrom Swede to me - these were imported by Ampeg from Sweden and had a strong following back in the day.  These are nicely made guitars - very solid build quality, nice woods and decent pickups.    The fact he has the original case is a big plus - nice package for below market price.

This is a beautiful electric guitar in a natural finish that sounds as good as it looks! It comes with its original hard case too. There is one rub on the front of the guitar that is small (maybe one inch long) and could be buffed out.

1968 Teisco K2-L in Wash DC area for $225

The K2-L is one of the more desireable Teisco's and with minor tweaking can actually be played out and used as back-up or 2nd guitar for live work.  These "German Carved" bodies feel like a smaller version of a Mosrite and the pickups actually have some punch.  But the bottom line is these "sharkfin" Teisco's with the 2x4 Headstock are just some of the coolest looking Indie Garage guitars in the hisoty of the guitar biz (IMHO).

This one is a little bit trashed - but not too bad - a perfect specimen would cost a lot more.

I have a vintage Teisco Del Rey K2L electric guitar, probably from 1968. This guitar has a great vintage vibe, a beautiful deep red finish, and is one of the more sought after Japanese Teisco models from the 1960s. Mine, I think, is from 1968. Here are a couple videos of this model guitar in action:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-FzIUNbw1g

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnAJY7NWErs&feature=related

Mine plays great, has the tremolo arm (which is so often missing from these old guitars), and is all original. There are a couple minor things missing: 1) one of the control knobs, 2) a cover for the tremolo unit that is almost always missing on these, 3) the logo and serial number badges. Most of this stuff comes up frequently on Ebay.

Also, it is not in pristine condition. Call it what you want--reliced or road worn--there are quite a few scratches, dings, and a couple areas of missing finish. I've pictured the worst bit on the last pic. None of these effect the playability of this guitar, and I actually think the blemishes make it look much cooler.

Electronics work fine.

Vintage 1930 (?) Silvertone Archtop near Columbus OH for $40

The seller is calling this a 1930 Silvertone archtop which I guess is posible but that would make it older than most Silvertones - I think Sears was selling a similar guitar line called "Supertone" prior to 1940 but you'd have to look that up.  Either way this looks like a nice old Kay or Harmony made archtop for a decent price.

Silvertone 1457 at Swap Meet in Peoria IL for $180

This is a pretty decent looking Silvertone 1457 for the price.  Hopefully the pickups both work - that switch is definitely shot - that's how they break, the throw arm seperates from the switch - I had the same problem on mine and found a cheap Chinese Replacement at Radio Shack that works just fine.  Note that those are ON-OFF-ON SPDT swtiches - so the standard Gibson type pickup switches do not work.

1975 Stratocaster - Sunburst Hardtail w Maple Board in KC for $950

Wow!  This guitar may by a refinish but that is still a great price for a 35 year old Strat.  I love a hardtail and I'd be jumping all over this one if I didn't already have a 1979. 

I'd be a wee bit suspicious of the middle pickup and switch since they don't seem to have the same aging as the other hardware - but that could just be a trick of the light.

Airline 1960's model 7214 Electric Guitar with tube amp in case in Livermore CA for $350

These 7214's are quite rare and while not quite a professional guitar the pickups sound great and if set up properly you can play the livin hell out of these.  The body on one of these is not deep but they are very resonant - sort of like a Melody maker.  And the Valco built case amps (with 6V6 power) kick the bejeezus out of the comparable Silvertone.  This is not a toy!

Airline 9001-B tube combo in NJ for $60

Nice little airline tube amp for a nice little sum.   This is the same as a Danelectro Cadet - Three tubes, about 5 watts, and a hot chassis (as in "bbbzzzzzzz") but these sound great when you crank them up and hit the front end hard with a fuzzbox.  Can you say "Jesus and Mary Chain..?"  hehe

BTW - these are very light and easy to ship if he removes the tubes and wraps it up.

Very could condition Guild amp from aroud 1964. Tolex looks rel nice, grillcloth has a small split . All tubes are Guild brand. Speaker has been replaced but from what I have read that's a good thing. Amp sounds great but does cut out at high volume. Thats about all I know about it. There are review at link below.

1964 Rickenbacker 15 watt tube amp in Tecumseh MI for $300

This 60's Rickenbacker amp seems to have a lot in common with an Ampeg Jet - it's a dual 6V6 with 2 preamp tubes and a tube rectifier.   That layout and the 12 inch Jensen make for a nice little package.   The seller is comparing it to a Vibro Champ but this amp should put out a lot more volume and punch than a little 6 watt Champ.   Nice solid looking cabinet and simple hand wired circuit should make this a winner.

Very cool amp. Sounds cool, great tremolo. Breaks up nice too. Great alternative to a '64 Vibro Champ.
