Harmony H-165 all Mahogany acoustic in Phoenix AZ for $100

If you ever wanted a Martin OO or Gibson LGO but couldn't afford it you should check out these Harmony H-165 acoustics. They were made from the 1950's through the 1970's and this one looks to be from somewhere in the middle. They have a nice bright tone considering the mahogany top and body - not as dark as the birch Harmony's or the Gibson or Martin version - and if they neck on this one ain't bowed and the bridge is still snug then everything else should be an easy fix.

I love the shape and look of these - though I have found no evidence Lightnin' Hopkins ever played one. He is often associated with a "Stella" guitar from his early days - but that slothead parlor guitar is nothing like this one and his may have been a pre-Harmony Stella guitar anyway.

Cool old guitar (Lightnin Hopkins was known to pick one), by Harmony. All mahogany body, in good shape. Neck straight but it needs new tuners and a good going over. Nice project for somebody. I don't have time. $100. 480-921-9299

16 Nice Effect Pedals incl Ross and Univox in AZ for only $290 cash

There are a couple of gems in this effects pedal bundle - esp the Ross Flanger (Black version) and the Univox Micro Fazer. Those are classics and usually sell for over $100 each. The Fender Blender is a nice find too since they go for $199 new (and this might be an original from the 70's like the ones used by Lenny Kravitz and Billy Corgin).

Some of Boss pedals look to be older MIJ models too like that OD-1.

I tried to jump all over this but, of course, a guy was there buying them already when I got the seller on the phone. No rest for the wicked LOL.

Fender Silverface twin amp in St. Louis MO for $450

No matter what anybody says about Master Volume Twins - and it's mostly a bunch of elitist nonsense - this is still a heck of an amp for $450. You can even have the circuit redone to "Blackface specs" if you want to. And he's even throwing in an old Strat Case (who knows maybe it is a late 60's tail on logo original like the one I found a few years ago).

No pic on the lsiting but we all know what they look like.

Ampeg 212 ReverbRocket 50w Tube combo in Oklahoma City OK for $400

These Ampeg Reverbrocket Reissues fly way under the radar. This one is from the 90's whcih means it was made at the old Ampeg plant in Arkansas before Loud Technologies (the parent company) shut it down and moved everything to Asia. I've plugged into these 2x12 RI's and they sound pretty sweet. Much louder than the original blue tolex Reverbrockets - and these are two channel amps. Not exactly like a Fender and definitely not a Marshall. The gain channel is not high gain - more like crunchy. If you want an idea of the tone check out KINGS OF LEON since that guitarist uses one of these in the studio - his is a Reissue too. If you upgrade the tubes and speakers it makes a huge difference - and it sounds like this one may already have decent tubes in it.

You can find these amps cheap all the time - I've seen them listed as low as $250 in recent years. People just don't know what to make of them - and they are also quite heavy - so keep that in mind if you are an old guy with a bad back and you like a light amp. Ampegs have always been heavy mothers - LOL!

This is a dual input 2x12 combo, 50 watt with EL34 power tubes. It has two channels, one clean and one dirty, volume controls the preamp on the clean and the gain controls the preamp on the dirty channel. Treble, middle and bass as well as a master volume controls. It has an excellent sounding reverb and a 1/4 inch line out/in. I am including a custom made footswitch that switches the channels and turns the reverb on or off. It is from the 90s and has some scuff marks, one small rip in the covering. Get that sound only a tube amp can offer. Carl 405 923 0266

Welson Vedette in Cleveland area for $300

Here is one for all the Euro-trash Italiaphiles (and I say that with the utmost respect and admiration). Welson is one of the original Italian Electric Guitar companies of the 1960's. The Vedette is one of their best models since it is their own design not a copy of a Gibson or Fender. It is also a bit more playable than some of the more outrageous pushbutton MOTS glitter models favored by collectors.

Harmony Silhouette in Part Huron MI for $400

These Silhouette's are more commonly found as Silvertone 1478's but this one has an added plus - it has the Swedish Hagstrom Vibrato tailpiece instead of the usual crappy Harmony version - a much better choice if you can find one. This one is far from pristine but it should be highly playable.

Crazy Cool Framus SL-1002 Semi-hollow w/ built in FX - Vintage 1960's - on Ebay right now

I just wanted to highlight this guitar because first off - how cool is it?! Secondly, I believe it must be a prototype of some sort because I've never seen a "Frequensator" tailpiece on a Framus guitar. The reference link on the eBay listing goes to the Framus Archive where they show an early 70's SL-1002 but that is a different version of the guitar with a slightly different body shape and knob configuration and a very different tailpiece. This one must have been either a prototype or an early version available only in Europe. All in all it's a very cool guitar - and I'd love to hear that germanium fuzz and tremolo circuit - it must be awesome.

But wait there's more - a Youtube link to hear it - let's check it out...



OMG... did you hear that FUZZ?! I want this guitar...

FRAMUS SL-1002 Item number: 330543338055 Ends March 24th approx 4pm PST

This quite rare guitar was purchased in Europe in the late 1960's and brought back to the USA by the guy we just got it from. We cleaned up the pots and WOW this thing is loaded with a sonic time capsule of that now distant era. It comes equipped with factory installed active effects that include mid-boost, treble boost, repeat (a hard chopped-off square wave trem) and the best fuzz ever. A little knob manipulation coaxes out almost ring modulator tones. We think this processor could be reverse engineered to create a fantastic, boutique multi-effects pedal. The instrument itself is a top shelf thinline set up with 2 high quality P-90 style single coils, a bound ebony fretboard, a bound "F" (singular) hole and a zero fret. The multiply neck construction reminds us of the great playing Hagstroms of the 60's. Straight neck, almost no fret wear, and low action makes this thing ready to go. Notice the Epiphone inspired details like the "frequensator" tailpiece, the cloud inlays and the general headstock and body outline. No case. Here is a link to a German site showing a similar ax: http://www.framus-vintage.de/modules/modells/instruments.php?modellID=484&katID=4627&cl=EN Pay by PayPal, credit card over the phone. Call Matt or Doug for in-hand description. 800 452-2991 PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS ITEM IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. NO P.O. BOXES. $50 fixed shipping will be by FedEx ground.

Kapa Continental 12-String in Orange COunty CA for $550 - Sonic Youth!

Kapa made two diffferent 12 string models, the Continental and the Minstrel. The Minstrel looks like the Vox Phantom and Lee from Sonic Youth played both a Blue Minstrel and a Red Continental onstage during the 1980's. The Continental was the more popular guitar and the GREEN is the coolest (and most rare) of the colors. There is no pic here but the green is a sort of aqua-turqoise - very nice - however as all Kapa collectors know the paint finishes on these are extremely thin and usually always chipped and badly worn. But you never know with a 12 string because it may have gotten very little play. Kapa guitars were assembled in Silver Springs Maryland from Hofner parts that were imported from Europe. Nice thin necks good for small hands.

I'm selling a Kapa Continental 12 String, it was made in the U.S. Original pickups have a real cool 1960s tone. A rare find, especially in green. They were made until 1970, when Kapa went out of business. These are amazing vintage guitars with one of the best neck designs ever produced, thin and extremely fast with slab rosewood fret boards and M.O.P. dot fret markers. Kapa guitars offer the player and collector the unique opportunity to own an excellent sounding and playing vintage guitar for far less than comparable instruments from Fender and others. It has a zero fret as well. I'm asking $550 OBO

Silvertone 1457 Electric in Long Beach / Belmont Shores area of CA for $400 (or less)

This is an okay price for a Silvertone 1457 but this one looks very nice. Of course it is missing the 4 tube amp in case (1457 amp case models are better than the 1448's since they use 12AX7 and 6V6 tubes and have the tremolo circuit as well) but the guitar looks to be in very nice shape.

I absolutely love my 1457 and think everyone should have one (LOL) so this might be your chance.

THis is a 1923 Old Kraftsman guitar built by gibson for the Kay guitar company and sold in the 1923 speiggle magazine. This is a rare guitar very rare. Take a look online and google it, you will find maybe two of these acoustics and for a very high price. This one is a project guitar. You could string it and play it now though the action would be very high. It needs to have some work done on it and could be done at any utherie shop or if you know what you are doing you could work on it. There is nothing like the sound of 100 year old wood on an acoustic guitar. Please look close at the pics and do not reply if you are expecting a new guitar. This is a project guitar or a very nice display piece. Let me know if you are interested.

A very rare original 1965 Danelectro Vincent Bell 'Bellzouki' model 7020 guitar. It’s in 100% original playable condition. All hardware is rust free. The painted finish has normal age checking for a 45 year old instrument, the headstock has a couple of minor worn off paint areas. Volume/tone knobs are very clean, no noise. I purchased it in 1966 along with the hard shell case (I don’t believe the case was made by Danelectro) The case’s interior deep blue plush is in very good condition, the exterior has a bit of road wear. The case is included in this sale.
It plays and sounds great. A nice combination of lipstick tube pickups and 12 strings.

The manufactured date in control cavity has the code # 115, which I believe means the first week of January 1965 (see close-up photo)

Original 1950's Silvertone Thin Twin Jimmy Reed Guitar in Chicago for $650

These guitars are legendary because of Blues great Jimmy Reed. However, you have to play one and decide for yourself wether they are worth all the hype and frenzy. To me they are more of a collector guitar but that is just me. I like an axe with more bite and growl and punch; these are milder in output than say a Valco or Airline from the same period. That said they are considered classic collectible guitars. Keep in mind that the seller is making it clear his is not a pristine model - but it is mostly original.

A 1965, Mongomery Wards Airline 62-9013a (1), tubed guitar amplifier, in good working condition. Equipped with a 12" speaker The power cable is still nice and pliable. Dual channel, two inputs per chnl. Chnl A has a bit more hum, then chnl B. It also has "scratchy" noises when the volume is actuated.. Rheostat probably needs cleaning, thats all. Chnl B is good, no remarkable problems noticed,. Amp cranks out great sounds irregardless.

Vibrato intensity and speed works flawlessly. All original control knobs are in place. The original partial back cover was removed many moons ago, to custom install speaker-to-headset output plug. This is an oldie, so it's only got the two electrical prongs for wall plug, therefor ungrounded. An electrician can easily remedy this. The back cover has been misplaced and cannot be found. Amp is a bit dirty, but a Collector can easily clean it up with a little TLC. I am firm at $300, please, serious inquiries only, absolutely no low-balls.
