Apollo (Kawai) Bison 60's MIJ electric in Huntsville AL for $250

This seller is offering a very nice looking Apollo that has the typical "Bison" type styling of the Japanese Kawai's. These were Japan's attempt at making higher end electric copies in the late 1960's - and this one appears to be in very nice shape. Lots of chrome and binding and stylizing - not for the faint of heart.

I had an Apollo baritone years ago and it was a cool, funky, heavy duty garage rock surf guitar.

Magnatone Custom M15 Imperial amplifier in Cincinatti for $500

This seller is offering some lucky buyer a once in a lifetime opportunity - to own a Magnatone M15.. for only $500! This model is one of the nicest most high end tube amplifiers ever built - four 7189 tubes sending 75 watts of sweet True Vibrato out thru dual stereo output transformers into a pair of 12 inch Jensens.

Truly a life changing experience for the dedicated tone hound.

Worth paying for a second airline ticket so you can fly home with this safely in the seat next to you. hehe.

Here is a vintage 1966 all tube magnatone m15 combo guitar amp. This one is a real stereo two channel amp. It has been just serviced completely gone through the vibrato works great the reverb is incredible. Read up on this amp. This was $580 in 1966 truly a quality amp. The negatives are the control panel is bent and there are a couple knobs missing. May considered guitar trade. Text 513-***-****

Harmony H-6365 Mohogany Acoustic in Fond Du Lac WI for $100

This seller is offering a Harmony H-6365 which is the later version of the venerable H-165. Not so much cache as its older brother but still well made in the USA with solid woods and it even has a trussrod. These fly way under the radar since they are later period Harmony guitars but they are very well loved by their owners and apparently play well and sound very nice. Definitely worth taking a look and a listen. If it is the bound version and it is in decent shape you will have certainly scored.

There is no pic on the listing so I am showing a generic pic I found online.

HARMONY H6365 6-STRING ACOUSTIC GUITAR

This is an antique guitar but also a great guitar for playing as well.

It is a great guitar whether you want it as an antique or just to play on as I did. Moving so just trying to get rid of the things I don't have room for anymore. I am looking for $100.

Silvertone 1448 w/ Case in Indianapolis for $150

I don't know what is going on with the amp in case part of this but I'd snatch this up in a minute if I were a local. Silvertone 1448's are just amazing guitars especially for slide, fingerstyle electric and greasy blues.

In fact, I think I am going to go play mine right now... - JC

This guitar has some blemishes and paint chipping. "Carl Harris" is etched into the pick guard. This would be a nice restore project or works fine as is. If your name is Carl Harris then it's meant to be. The neck looks straight and it plays fine with little buzzing around the frets. The case has been mutilated by someone so the amp is no longer in there. You'll get the case along with the guitar. The guitar has a nice baritone sound and is highly sought after in any condition. I've seen similar guitars with the same wear go for well over $200 on eBay. I'm willing to consider OBO but no trades. Thanks for looking!

Greetings, for sale is my black 1961 Supro Coronado, the serial# dates it to 1961-1964. The Res-o-glass body is shiny and clean, the action is set low, the neck is straight and plays like butter. No breaks or repairs ever. It has a three position toggle switch, 1st position is dark, 2nd is mid and 1st is bright. Everything inside and out is original and untampered with. Comes with the original hardshell case. The price is firm, sorry but no trades, cash only. Why by a reissue when you could own the real deal, priced to sell. Here's a link to a few sound samples.

1964 Silvertone 1423L/ H49 Jupiter in Raleigh NC area for $500

These H49 Jupiters are really nice guitars - just ask Spencer Davis. This black Silvertone 1423L is the same model without the curly maple top. I believe these tops are either spruce or regular maple - but it is the necks and pickups on these that really shine. H49 Jupiters rank in my top range for Harmony made electrics right alongside the H44 and the H76 so this is definitely one to consider.
