Yamaha Red label FG-75 in San Pedro CA for $135

With the current popularity of the OO and parlor-sized guitars you might want to consider these Yamaha's from the late 60's and early 70's. I thnk the FG-75 appeared around 1969 and these Nippon Gakki Red Label versions are the most desireable. That said, be aware that these are laminated top guitars so the age of the wood is not going to do much to improve the tone - luckily these usually sounded pretty good from the get go. Expect a nice playable guitar with a slightly thick neck and you won't be disappointed.

There was a time when these little Japanese acoustics could be found for $50 or less but that time is pretty much gone.

Yamaha FG-75, red label "Nippon Gakki." These guitars were made in Japan in the 60s and this one has an outstanding sound. It is not as large as a dreadnought size and has a very comfortable feel. Neck and body are in great shape for an almost fifty year-old guitar. Sorry no case.

Carvin Vintage 33 Tube combo amp in Culver City CA for $250

Can't beat the price on this Carvin Vintage 33. This model falls right in between the Vintage 18 and Bel-Air. 30 watts is about perfect for both the home and small club gigs. Think Vox AC30 in terms of volume and clean channel tones but expect it will need a little tweaking (swapping tubes) to improve the overdrive channel. This is a later version since it has both the Presence knob (on back) and effects loop.

Well built and very useable tube amp for minimal cash outlay. It's even got the requisite cigarette burn on the Tweed already!

Carvin Vintage 33 two-channel Tube Amp with effects send/receive, foot pedal and chamber reverb. In the same family (and I think exactly the same except for the wattage) as the Nomad and Bel Air. Everything works. Very loud, but the soak feature allows you to drive up the power in the tubes for home or studio use.

Hamer Studio USA 59 Burst at GC for $799

This is the sort of guitar you can get a good deal on at GC because they are not well known and not in high demand even though they are very high quality handmade guitars (built by a few meticulous luthiers in a tiny shop in Connecticut).

Note: They also screwed up on the CG website and posted a pic of a Fender Squire instead of the beautiful Flame Top Hamer USA guitar so it won't get much attention. - JC

The pic I am posting here is NOT from GC but a file photo of a Hamer Studio 59 Burst.

Hound Dog Taylor Style Kawai S170 in Boston for $275

Any excuse to post this rare footage of Hound Dog Taylor live - enjoy!



I reader named Craig alerted me to this listing in Boston - most of the guitars listed here are not worth pursuing but the Kawai at the end is very similar to the SSL4 and other 1960's Kawai axes favored by the great slide guitarist Hound Dog Taylor. Check it out.

Great looking Photos on the post BTW - seller must be a pro photographer.

Cheap guitars for sale Kawai Teisco Hondo Kent Fender Squier Affinity - $100 (Waltham)

I have six guitars for sale, ranging from $100 to $275.

The first is a black Fender Starcaster with cool block fret markers for $100

Next is an Olympic White Affinity Squier (Fender) Strat (it looks more yellow in the photo) for $120

Then I have four cool Japanese guitars from the '70s, possibly even the '60s.

I have a Teisco Del Ray guitar (with logo... which is rare these days) which sounds awesome. $175

There's also a Japanese, possibly one of the many brand names like Kent, Teisco, Kimberly, guitar that is reminiscient of the Gibson SG. It also sounds great, with two P90-like pickups and "twang bar". $150

A strange guitar is this one that looks like a Gibson Melody Maker (very flat). I think it may actually be an early Hondo, before they became "Hondo II". It sounds really nice, especially the neck pickup. The neck is really nice. $150.

And lastly I have a Kawai S-170, also known as the "Hound Dog Taylor" guitar, since Hound Dog Taylor used to play these guitars. This one has three pickups (HDT used four) and strange wiring, but it sounds really nice in my Vox AC15. $275.

All prices are "or best offer". I will give discounts if you buy more than one guitar.

When contacting me, please include your name and number, otherwise I may not respond to your inquiry since most scammers only say things like "is it still available?" hoping you'll respond and then they have your email info, etc. Here are pictures:

1988 Paul Reed Smith CE-24 at GC in Natick MA for $999

This is a "pre-factory" (or Annapolis factory) Paul Reed Smith guitar from the first year the CE-24 was manufactured. This one will have an Alder body versus the Mahogany bodies used in 1994 and later. Note that it has the 3-way switch instead of the later rotary selector knob. This could possibly have one of the rare "Chainsaw" treble pickups - depending on how early in the production this one falls.

There is a lot of talk about the Brazilian Rosewood on the earlier PRS guitars but that would be hard to know for sure.

Overall there are many collectible and desireable qualities to this CE-24, and if you don't mind a bolt on 24 fret PRS (Alex Lifeson doesn't mind) then this should be one heck of a guitar.

Boyden 50 watt Hand Built Boutique amp at GC in Lakeland FL for $699

Dick Boyden knows how to build a very nice amplifier using top quality components - consider this to be on par with a Dr. Z - or maybe even better. These amps are made in Pensacola FL so this one stayed close to home but you don't see these on the resale market very often - I don't even know what they sell for new but I am sure it is at least $1500 - maybe alot more. You can bet there are some very good speakers in there too.

So this Guitar Center in FL is selling a high end boutique pro tube amp for the same price as a new Fender Hot Rod Deville.
