Nice Vintage Kay Electric on Rhode Island for only $100 - better act FAST!

I contacted this seller - his name is Ryan - and he said that he has "someone coming to look at the guitar on Monday and that I am next in line for it - sell since today is Friday I say if you are within an hour of this location on Rhode Island you should run over there and buy it first (just don't snake me by trying to snag it on a shipping deal - that is my perogative).

This one looks very nice and it has the "cheese grater pickup" and the nice Kay Logo headstock overlay and even the nice unworn-undamaged original Kay pickguard.... NICE!!

The action is a little high but still playable. These guitars are mostly sought after for their collectability. I am open for trades, I love electronics but hate video games. $100 if you don't have a trade.

1964 Silvertone 1478 guitar with two Dearmond silver foil pickups. Very good condition. Killer blues tone. Set up to play. Comes with like-new hardshell case. $350 firm if cash (very cheap), but will consider vintage guitar/banjo trade items.

No pics, but here are images of the model: http://harmony.demont.net/model.php?id=692

1960's Sano and Lectrolab Tube amps in Fort Dodge IA - $350

This seller wants $450 for the Sano and $350 for the Lectrolab and while those may not be such great prices but maybe you can cut a deal. Looks like he's had most of the work done on these other than the cosmetics.

I mostly posted this to archive the info about the Lectrolab - very rare to see these for sale and this one is a bass amp! Of course it is the usual dual EL84 that Lectrolab often used. He says it is a 1963 model - though I'd wonder how he knows the year (maybe from the pot and speaker codes).

I have a 66 Sano amp, 2x12 CTS spks, 2-7591 pwr tubes, 5AR4 rectifier, 3- 12AX7, 1-12AU7, 1-7199. Has original cover. Power supply has been recaped and coupling caps have been replaced, resisters checked. All tubes are older and test good and sound good. Has Reverb and Tremolo. Nice chimey clean and it does the blues and rock thing. About 24 watts. Cathode biased. I hooked it up to a vintage P12N and a Red Fang and it really opened up. Ready to go for a many more years. $450

The other amp is a 63 Lectrolab, 1-15 C15P, Jensen, 2-EL84, 2-12AX7, about 16 watts. This amp has been thru the shop with cap job and the checkup. A cathode bypass cap was added on the first preamp to give it some gain. It was designed for bass and I guess they wanted it clean. Think Marshall or Vox kinda thing. Sparkling clean with a nice roar when pushed. No bells or whistles. Cab was painted black. Very tidy tag board construction. $350

More pics available. Questions? Please ask. Prices are very firm. I'm an hour NW of FT Dodge but willing to meet if interested. Thanks for looking.

Ampeg Jet II RI in Des Moines IA for $295

here's another one of these Jet II Reissues in Des Moines for $295. Nice to get the Reverb and Tremolo in an amp this size for under $300. This amp compares favorably to a Fender Blues Junior.

Pics are a little dark - but you get the idea.

Gretsch Sun Valley 1970's Acoustic in Hollywood for $300

I don't actually know if this is a good deal or not but these Sun Valleys are fairly rare and seem to be popular with their owners. This one has the trussrod on the headstock and a standard (non-split) bridge but I don't know if that makes it an earlier or later model. The sunburst finish looks a little darker than most tof the Sun Valleys I've seen. I would expect this to be a USA made guitar. It goes by the model number 6010.
