Premier Model 50 - Vintage Guitar / Harp Tube amp in Albuquerque NM area for $250
The seller says they don't know if this amp works or not so this is a long shot - BUT these are great amps and the schematics are readily available and they are pretty much indestructible. Worth taking a look especially if you know your way around an old tube amp circuit and have some spare coin. - JC
condition: good
make / manufacturer: Premire
model name / number: Model 50
Used Premire Model 50 Tube Amp, as per the pictures. Complete and in decent cosmetic condition, no AC cord, have never tried this amp, no idea of functionally. Leather strap on top, dried out and broke, few scuffs and a dime bag cig. burn on top. Appears to be complete and original, Speaker looks good, all knobs are original, tubes are there. This is the last of my vintage amps, but may have a few vintage Astatic Harp mics and maybe some Shure's and such...
I live in Edgewood, work in Albuquerque, Journal Center area most days.
Up for sale is my Ampeg Jet "J-12 A." This guitar amplifier is true vintage (early 60's... 62 I believe) but I replaced the speaker with a Celestion greenback (as shown in picture). The speaker was only replaced a year ago. Its got the build in tremolo which of course sounds amazing.The original handle broke off a few months back and I replaced it.
This amp sounds great and gives you that vintage, warm, blues-like tone. Everything is in good working condition. The amp has dark blue check patterned Tolex covering.
This seller is offering a vintage Airline amp (made by Danelectro). The cabinet is starting to go on this one but I guess you could reinforce it or just be careful with it. This one even has reverb - similar in many ways to a Silvertone Twin Twelve. - JC
1963 Airline Point-To-Point 6L6 All Tube 2x12 Jensen guitar amp. Made for Montgomery Ward by Valco/Danelectro/Supro and sold as the "Airline" brand. SOUNDS KILLER!
Back in the 50's and 60's Sears "Silvertone" and Mont Ward "Airline" brands were made by Valco or Supro or Danelectro and sold through the big catalog sales stores. You know, a catalog, which was the internet before the internet :) I've seen these same amps advertised as made by Valco, Danelectro, and Supro.
This amp is 100% made like an early 1960's Fender amp, all PTP wiring, 12AX7 preamp tubes, tube reverb driver/recovery/SPRING reverb, tube driven tremolo, 5Y3 tube rectifier, 2 RCA 6L6GC power tubes. All of the tubes appear to be original except for the pre-amp tubes.
This amp has it's 2 original 1963 Jensen C12R speakers, tone for days!
This is a medium volume amp, it has 2 RCA 6L6 power tubes which test good on my tube tester, but like a Fender Champ or Princeton it uses a Sylvania USA 5Y3GT rectifier so the 6L6 power tubes aren't getting pushed hard and probably putting out about 20-25 watts so they would probably never get used hard enough to burn out.
These amps use a paper-fibre board cabinet and are known for the top of the cabinet "bending" which this one has. You can see in the pictures, it is still solid enough to use the handle to pick up the amp and carry it around. There is one piece of wood in this amp, it seperates the bottom of the amp chassis from the top of the speaker part of the enclosure.
This amp has a clean, raw, organic, almost Fender Tweed tone. Which makes sense as this amp was made in 1963 when Fender Tweed's ruled the world and just when Fender was introducing the Fender Blackface amplifiers. This amp was made BEFORE THE BEATLES CAME TO AMERICA!!!
There are a couple of these for sale on e-bay, but not with the desirable Jenses C12 speakers, for $400-$600 plus $75 shipping (e-bay item # 281791147539 ) and SOLD on reverb.com and g-base.com for $400-$600 so my price is quite reasonable.
This is an awesome rockabilly/country tones and loves single coil pickups!
This is my listing for a 2011 Gibson Sparrow in excellent condition. These were a "short run" at the Gibson Bozeman Montana plant and they were the top of the line full size dreadnaught in the Gibson lineup at the time. Very nice high end acoustic made with all solid Adirondack Spruce and Rosewood and a big tone.
You won't find these for sale anywhere. There are non listed on eBay now or sold in last six months.

Rare Top of the Line Gibson Sparrow Acoustic - Solid Spruce/Rosewood - $2500 (Encino Tarzana)
make / manufacturer: Gibson model name / number: Sparrow
Ever played a Gibson Dreadnaught acoustic with a solid
Adirondack Spruce top and solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides and
double parallel inlays? Few people have - because Gibson no longer
makes one. Gibson only made a short run of these Sparrows at
their Bozeman Montana plant back in 2011-12 and then they stopped
production (probably so they could focus on more of the cheaper
"Songbird" models at their new Canadian factory).
I searched the internet and could not find a single Gibson Sparrow for
sale right now - I also called Norman's guitar shop and McCabe's and
neither had ever even seen one of these live in person.
As you can see in the pics, the guitar is in excellent "as new"
condition. It plays and sounds like a dream - big, full, bright, clear,
(great for Bluegrass or Fold Rock) and comes with all the original
unopened case candy. It's been stored with humidity control and a
humidifier at all times.
Only $2500 for this extremely rare and amazing USA made Gibson Sparrow with case!
Building on the legacy of Gibson's legendary Hummingbird and Dove models

model. And tell all your friends - There's a New Bird in Town.

I am reposting items here that are listed on CRAIGSLIST throughout the USA. I am not selling any of these items and I cannot facilitate the sale of anything here - so please do not comment or post questions like "Is this still available?" or "I am interested in your guitar please call me, etc." You need to contact the seller directly by calling the phone number listed on the post or by going to the CL listing and emailing them. NEW FEATURE: Click on the title of the CL Listing inside my post to LINK thru to the original Post. If the original CL listing is deleted the item most likely is no longer available. Thanks for checking out my blog and GOOD LUCK!
Please don't call, contact, bother or harass these sellers long after their post is expired. Take for granted if the listing is over 30 days old that the guitar or amp is LONG GONE! Thank you.
