Magnatone Custom 415 tube amp in Dallas Area for $300

From the glorious late 1950's comes this Magnatone 415 "Bass amp." Get this: It has 25 watts of pure tube output and four 8-inch speakers. Think it might sound good for guitar?

This model Magnatone does not have the patented "True Vibrato" circuit - just simple volume and tone controls. But I bet it sounds gorgeous.

BTW - Witchita Falls is right on the TX - OK border about 4 hours East of Lubbock TX! Must be the Magnatone Motherland.

Fender 1972 Pro Reverb and MIM Telecaster for $800 total in Los Angeles area

If I am reading this ad correctly, this seller is offering both the Pro Reverb and the Fender Telecaster for $800 total. That's a good deal since the Pro Reverb is probably worth that much alone.

A 1972 Fender Pro Reverb is a terrific find and this one looks pretty darn nice. The Pro is basically a Super Reverb with a pair of 12 inch speakers instead of four 10's. It will be much lighter than a Fender Twin and has a more useable volume range for most gigs.

That's a good looking Telecaster as well. I dig that ashtay bridge cover with the two tone sunburst. It gives it a nice vintage look.

Harmony H-168 on eBay for $89 + free shipping

Saw this 1969 Harmony H-168 up for bid on the Bay and it appears it isn't get any serious attention. I recently bought an H-162 for a bit over $100 and I'm quite happy with that guitar. This H-168 is different than mine in that it has the "pumpkin" stained solid Spruce top and darker stained Birch back and sides - it also has a "mustache" bridge, bound neck and body and the 6-on a side less common headstock - which some people really like. Neat little vintage acoustic (40+ years old) for not a lot of cash.

Note: This auction expries today at around 7pm PST (8 hours from time of this post)

Harmony,Kay,H-168,1969 acoustic Guitar,USA,old,semi project,no reserve

Offering an old Harmony acoustic guitar. Am told it is a H-168 made in USA, 1969. 6 on a side headstock kinda cool. Action a bit high, angle not perfect but not too bad. Room on saddle to lower somewhat. Will require a bit of work to achieve optimal playability. Top flat, bridge secure. No case. Continental USA shipping only. Sold AS IS, good luck.

Carlsbro 50 Watt 2x12 all tube Combo amp in Los Angeles for $200

Carlsbro amps are pretty much unknown here in the United States - they are a British company that was never really distributed here as far as I know (like Burns and Selmer). Their most popular amps are the Top 50 and Top 100 - both all tube Heads similar in many ways to a Marshall Plexi.

This 50 watt Combo looks like the same basic circuit as the Top 50. It has a pair of original British made Celestion Vintage 30's - that alone is worth the asking price - then consider that this is a hand-wired vintage EL34 combo. Wow!

Ah yeah - if those are the original tubes they would all be Mullards - that's what Carlsbro used in all thier amps.

So if you need an amp, you might want to consider this one.

Kay / Rex neck thru 1950's electric on eBay for $495 - Going going...

This is a solid body, neck thru construction, single pickup 14 fret to the body 1950's electric with a nice beefy neck. Similar to a K-136 Need I say more..?

If you have been looking at an H44 Stratotone, Silvertone H42 Newport, or anything similar you should take a serious look at this guitar. Rex was distributed by Gretsch and these are made by Kay - very close to a K-136 which is a sweet guitar - this should be a a wild vintage guitar - especially if you play electric slide.

Here is a link to a K-136 being played on youtube - just for reference -

Vintage REX/KAY Electric Guitar Single Pickup 1950's w/Original Case Stratotone


Up for consideration is a vintage ‘50’s era Rex electric guitar. This piece is a recent acquisition and is in very good condition. Nicks and wear throughout consistent with a 60 year old guitar. Frets have been dressed by our shop. The instrument was built by the Kay company and appears to be based on the Kay model K-136, but with solid Spring Green Finish (the K-136 was a two tone finish). The boss calls it "dirty avacado." It’s all original except for new tuner buttons. Features neck through construction, one single coil pick-up (pick-up output is 5.9 K), volume and tone knobs, "Hi-Low" selector switch, and a beefy, beefy neck profile. We have not been able to determine the woods that were used in the construction of the instrument, but Kay's catalog describes it as "hardwood body.". "Rex" instruments were distributed by Gretsch, but were made by numerous jobbers: Kay, Harmony, Regal etc. This design is similar to the Harmony made "Stratotone" guitars from the same era, with neck through construction.Original Chipboard Case and our complementary restring and set-up are included.

Maccaferri 1950's Islander Plastic Acoustic in Seattle for $200

Don't laugh - these are very rare and hardly ever found in perfect playable condition like this one. Mario Maccaferri was a brilliant guitarist and luthier and he devoted years to developing these injection molded plastic guitars for Selmer in the 1950's - but they never caught on with professionals so they all but disappeared. The similar plastic Islander Ukuleles are horded by maniacal uke players for their rarity and unusual tonal qualities.

This is a serious collectible instrument and a neat part of guitar history to own - even if you never play it (which would be a shame) - it was not designed to be a toy.

Nice Vintage Harmony Sovereign in Seattle for $145

Wow - look at the beautiful solid Spruce top on this Sovereign. I'd put this one somewhere in the early to mid 1960's. Has the nice oversized Dreadnaught shape that makes these really boom. Can you say: "Stairway to Heaven." Yup - This is exactly what Jimmy played it on.
