This guitar is from the early 60's. It is around 50 years old and still plays great.

Hate to see it go

My loss is your gain

Stunning Kay Swingmaster in Indianapolis for $575

Okay, I know $575 is a lot of money and these are not the most in demand guitars in the world but - look at how beautiful this 1965 Swingmaster is - it is just stunning. The fully inlaid trapezoid neck and the Kleenex box pickups and that is not the usual painted on tiger-stripe - that looks like a real nicely flamed maple top. Even the case is in beautiful shape.

These guitars are not going to be everyone's cup of tea - it is not a serious rock axe - better for laid back jazzy riffing - but it is a beautiful well preserved piece of American manufactured artisanship.

Wow! Supro 1616T tube amp in Chicago area for $200 - just listed!

These little 1616T's are super rare and hard to find - they are very much in demand. The 6x9 alnico is a perfect match for the single 6V6 power tube - this amp should sound great at full tilt in the studio - once you clean up whatever is causing the crackle and static.

This sounds like it hasbeen in the owners family for 50 years. And you gotta love the name of the town - Homer Glen - what a cool little find.

I have a Supro vintage tube amp model 1616T (Valco-Chicago 51) for sale. I believe it was built in '59 or '60. It's all original except that the plug was changed into a 3-prong. The output power is around 10 watts max. There are 2 input channels and a tremolo function. The tremolo still works great. The amp plays well but there is some static/crackle at higher volumes. It has a single 6" x 9" speaker. It has been in my possesion since the mid-60's and belonged to a cousin before that. Pictures attached. Cash only please and you pick up. If you're interested or would like further info please contact me. Located in Homer Glen not far from 143rd and Bell.

1974 SG Deluxe in Jacksonville FL area for $900

This is a non-stock early 70's Gibson SG Deluxe (or is it Deluxe SG?) from when Norlin was trying to reduce costs so they added the control plate on the front of the guitar. This one looks like it is a Walnut body - some people like that in an SG. It also has full sized humbuckers which is nice since some of these guitars have the black mini humbuckers with the funky (i.e. cheap) flip switches. This one should be a player - though it's a shame the Bigsby tailpiece is gone. Still a rare find and a decent price for a 35+ year old Gibby. Oh and I can't forget for all of the oh-so fussy afficianados out there - it has a "volute." hehe - JC
