Kay Vanguard in Portland OR for $100

I just posted one of these about a week ago that was a good deal for $200 - well here is a black one that is even cheaper in Portland.  Only $100 bucks!   That output jack is a little ugly but I am sure you could manage a better fix for very little money.   These fly way below the radar but you still see dealers selling the original ones in excellent shape for a small mint.  I've seen these at GC Vintage for $1K+ recently.

I've never actually seen one of these in black so this could be a refin - or maybe just a less common color.
BTW those Kluson Tombstone tuners are not the originals for this guitar but I am sure they work just fine.

Kay electric guitar. Not all original - input jack and G tuning peg have been replaced (repairs done a few years ago at Old Town Music). The new jack later came loose and is now held securely in place with much packing tape. Still, sounds good and has plenty of character.

Teisco ET-200 Tulip in Phoenix AZ area for $50

When I talk about good deals on CL for vintage guitar buffs this is the type of deal I am talking about.  I've owned quite a few Teisco's over the years and they are fun little guitars - though few are what I would call "pro level".  However, they are lots of fun to have around.  This is a perfect example - a 40+ year old two pickup electric guitar for the price of a stomp box.  I mean c'mon... Just buy it already!!  haha

Emmons Mid-60's Pedal Steel in CA for $500

Let me preface this by saying I am not any kind of expert on Lap Steels (actually I am not even an expert on electric guitars in general) but I do know that the Emmons (aka Buddy Emmons) brand steels are well-known as good steel guitars (along with Sho-Bud).  This one looks like a junior model since it only has 3 pedals and I don't think it has any knee levers (I really can't tell from the pics).  But the mid 1960's models of steels are very much in demand so this may be a good deal if you know them better than me.  Good luck.

Marshall JCM2000 TSL Half Stack in Cleveland for $700

You won't see me highlighting Marshall Stacks too often on this blog (just not my cup of tea) however, this one is a good deal and, of course, Cleveland Rocks! 

There is a ton of info online about the TSL and this is the 100 watt version it is a monster.  These retailed in the $2K range new and I don't believe Marshall is making them anyomre - this was sort of their flagship model about 5 or 6 years ago. To put this deal in perspective as far as the cost-value, back in 1980 when I graduated from High School the average used Marshall Head and 4x12 cabinet generally cost about $700 and that was the old JCM800.  Of course this is not a Marshall 4x12 - it is a Peavey cabinet - but those Celestian GH12-80's should be a a good match for this head.

Holiday (Harmony) Stratotone in Seattle WA area for $250

This is a nice looking Holiday branded Stratatone made by Harmony circa 1962-63.  These single pickup versions are less in demand because they don'[t resemble a Les Paul but I can attest that the pickup output and placement on these is just about perfect for slide - and the chambered body gives ist a nice twangy resonance - these sound great into a overdriven low wattage tbe amp - but you probably don't want to put a high gain pedal in front - the pickups are full range - that's what makes them sound so great for slide. 

Holiday was a catalog brand harmony made for a now defunct retail sotore - just like Airline was for Montgomery Wards and Silvertone was for Sears.

Vintage 1960's Newcomb 335 style semi-hollow electric in WA for $400

This Newcomb brand guitar looks very similar to a Harmony H-74 or maybe a Meteor. I seriously doubt Newcomb was building these on their own - most probably a Harmony product.  Newcomb was a succcessful tube amp manufacturer (similar to Webcor, Masco, Bogen, Eico, etc. ).   Those should be DeArmond pickups though it is very hard to tell form the picture.  There is a small chance this could be a product of Japan - since other companies like National had already shifted to Japanese Production by the late 60's.   The block inlays on the fretboard indicate this would have been a fairly high end guitar at the time. The Bigsby is a nice plus for sure.
