 These guitars also had no poker chip switch ring or pickguard.   The guitar also comes with its original custom shop hardcase.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45401669501153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_1426.jpg?v=1719018590"},{"product_id":"1969-fender-mustang-competition-burgundy","title":"1969 Fender Mustang Competition Burgundy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one has Sold!

 The action is set low for an easy playing experience.    Currently, the string height measures .010\" at the 1st fret and .040\" at the 12th fret.  The guitar plays with ease up and down the fingerboard with zero dead spots.  It is also intonated and ready to go.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups both have an excellent signal and the classic vintage Fender \"bell\" tone.  The neck pickup's output measures 5.75 ohms and the bridge pickup's output measures 5.89 ohms.

S. A. in June of 1967.  The bass guitar is 100% original and has date stamps and employee inspection stamps present.  The finish is bright and very colorful-it looks great and is nicely accentuated by the Black headstock and gold decal.  Just looks like the coolest vintage hollow body bass ever!  It is professionally set up and ready to play-it needs nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is solid with no creaks or rattles or repairs of any kind.  The finish is in very good condition with normal handling evidence.  There are a few marks on the side but nothing major-see photos.  The color is really nice and brilliant.  The binding is solid both on the front and the back.  There are a few light mars in the finish on the backside where the bass sat on a coil cord at some point.  Looks nice and authentic vintage-no one will mistake this one for some sort of new guitar.  The neck joint is sold.  There are factory employee stamps along with the date stamp on the end of the neck.  This bass is a 1967 build and it has the weird 1967-only 'cross' paint stick shadow.   It's a rare feature as 1967 builds are known to be super rare-something extra fun to enjoy if you are a Fender history nut like myself.  The neck has two factory shims front and rear-which lift it off of the body plane and presents a thin relief between the neck and body.  The joint is totally solid and the neck angle is excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck itself  is super straight and very smooth.

Two of the wires have been re-soldered for a better connection. The pickguard has a tiny crack in it near the neck pickup on the treble side-it causes no issues, just a cosmetic (if even that). There is also a very short line crack in the pickguard just below the 3-way switch see photos. The pickguard is very nicely figured-see photos.

That has been done here, so there are the original mounting holes on the bottom side-which is currently covered by the later tailpiece, with the exception of the lowest screw hole-see photos.  The finish is a really nice tobacco sunburst and the coloring is strong and well-defined.  There is faint weather checking here and there-most of it can not be seen unless up close. The back is clean and has a nice vintage look.   Both the model  ink stamp and serial number ink stamp are clearly visual inside the body-see photos. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe neck joint is solid and an excellent fitment.  The neck angle is perfect with zero deflection.  The neck itself is straight and smooth.  It is a Mahogany construction.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe neck has a nice big feel to it and is best described as a typical 1950's Gibson vintage medium C profile.  The girth measures .888\" deep at the 1st fret and approximately 1.00\" at the 12th fret.  The nut measures 1.69\" wide for excellent string spacing.   The neck has a smooth feel.  The original tuners are currently off of the guitar for safe keeping...They are in good condition-with nice buttons.  The replacements are reissue units and they are the same size and use the original mounting locations.  The headstock and logo display very nicely with perfect patina.  The rosewood fingerboard is clean with some minimal wear in a few spots-see photos.  The frets are in excellent condition.  They have been professionally leveled, crowned and polished.   The action is currently low for a fast and easy playing experience.  The string height is .010\" at the 1st fret and .050\" at the 12th fret.  The neck angle is perfect on this guitar-so you can adjust the bridge for a higher action easily-if that is your preference.  As it is-it plays remarkable well.  There are no dead spots anywhere and acoustically the guitar has a nice bright tone with incredible resonance and sustain.  Then you plug it in!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe original P-90 pickups have an excellent signal and incredible tone.  They really scream.  The neck pickup measures 8.32 ohms and the bridge position measures 8.70 ohms.  No disappointments here, for sure.  The controls all function smoothly and quietly.  The Nickel ABR bridge affords a much improved playing experience over the original trapeze bridge.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe guitar is nice and lightweight, only weighing 6.25 lbs.  It is very comfortable to hold and lots of fun to play.  It just feels great on a strap or in your lap.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA nice 1960’s Gibson hard case is included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Draggin' Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45750222487777,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_3052.jpg?v=1727270882"},{"product_id":"1997-fender-stratocaster-fiesta-red-california-special-u-s-a","title":"1997 Fender Stratocaster Fiesta Red California Special U.S.A.","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one has Sold!  If you have a guitar like this one that you want to sell, email us or call us direct: 785-766-8906 9am-9pm any day.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat a color!  1997 Fender Stratocaster California Special edition in its original Fiesta Red Finish with gold hardware.  This model of Stratocaster was limited to a production run from 1997 to 1998.  The California series model concept was an attempt to offer a vintage looking and feeling guitar with hotter pickups and medium jumbo frets.  It was designed to be a serious player!  Shortly after production began the Fender factory in Corona California suffered a catastrophic fire in the paint and finishing portion of their facility.  The solution was quickly proposed to send USA-made bodies to Baja California and have them painted by the same workers traveling from the Corona, U.S.A. plant.  Once the paint was applied, the guitars were then returned to the Corona U.S.A. facility for assembly.   To streamline production-color choices were limited to Black, White, Sunburst, Candy Apple Red and Fiesta Red.  Tex-Mex pickups were selected for a fatter low end, increased treble brilliance and higher output.  The Medium Jumbo Frets afford easy bending and the 9.5\" radius fingerboard offers enhanced playability.  The model featured vintage bridge, vintage tuners and a nice 3-ply pickguard to round out the look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is a 1997 and is an excellent player.  The body has the nice big vintage style contours front and rear.  The finish has a vintage appeal and although it is nice-it also displays some patina and mojo.  It looks vintage and killer for sure.  The neck slot is an excellent fitment.  The neck itself is super straight and smooth.

The neck joint is super solid and the neck angle is excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck itself is super straight and has an amazing feel-that special '59 neck profile that everybody wants.   The nut is 1.68\" wide and the profile is best described as the perfect early 1959 profile.   Dating by serial number-it is not necessarily an early 1959 unit, but the neck has that great chunky but not too chunky feel.  The neck depth measures .928\" at the 1st fret and .992\" at the 12th fret.  The tuners all function and the guitar stays in tune well.  The headstock and logo display with an excellent patina, the toning on the headstock gives the logo a beautiful amber appearance-see photos.  There is a small ding at the edge of the top right corner.   The Brazilian rosewood fingerboard is clean and has a nice soft feel.  The position markers have also toned and appear a bit amber-giving off a really nice patina touch.  The mojo matches all over the guitar just right.  The frets have been professionally leveled, cleaned and polished and appear in excellent condition and height-see photos.  The action is set low for a fast and easy playing experience.  The string height is set at .010\" at the 1st fret and .050\" at the 12th fret.  The Junior has an incredible feel and responds with a light touch.  It plays like butter up and down the fingerboard with zero dead spots.   It is a lot of fun to play and is so fitting for a variety of styles.  There is a nice wide spacing for open chords,  power chords just feel powerful and you can bend with the best of 'em with this unit.  Once you pick it up, you won't want to put it back down for sure.  It is a fantastic player.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickup has an excellent signal and measures 9.09 ohms!  Of course, it just screams and easily overdrives any quality tube amp.  The entire wiring harness is original and untouched-and in excellent condition.  The controls function smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar weighs 8.41 lbs. and feels awesome in your lap or on a strap.  This piece is an amazing addition to anyone's collection-and sure to continue to appreciate in value-after all, it it s a 1959 Gibson!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with modern Gibson hard case.  The case fits well, I prefer to put some sort of soft bolster underneath the body in order to keep the nut off of the lid.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Draggin' Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46080132153569,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_4389.jpg?v=1737155119"},{"product_id":"1969-fender-mustang-competition-orange-100-original-near-mint-condition","title":"1969 Fender Mustang Competition Orange 100% original near mint condition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis one has Sold!  If you have a guitar like this one that you want to sell, email us or call us direct: 785-766-8906 9am-9pm any day.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWOW!  This is an amazing example of one of the rarest and best looking vintage Fender  Mustangs ever to come out of the Fender factory.  It is a 1969 model and was made at the original Fender factory in Fullerton, California U.S.A.  It is 100% original and in near-mint condition.  It has been professionally set up and is ready to play-it needs nothing.  I have a solid knowledge of these guitars and I have probably owned more than anyone else in the world-(250+ competition models alone).   I mean it when I say this is a very rare unit to find in this clean of condition.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe offset contour body is super nice and features extremely soft contours that only the early versions have.  Lots of attention was utilized in the initial shaping of this body-see photos.  The finish looks amazing with minimal handling evidence.  There is a tiny chip in the neck slot on the treble side-see photos.  Thas it.   The neck slot has the classic late-1960's paint stick shadow along with a factory neck shim and factory inspection ink stamps.  The neck also has factory inspection stamps and a 1969 ink stamp also.  The bass edge of the neck slot has a black shade that is evidence of additional fitment adjustments performed in the final assembly stage.  This was very common in the early days of the factory's switch to poly finishes-the paint department was still applying the same amount of coats that they were used to spraying with the old nitrocellulose.  The new poly covered much quicker-and did not need additional coats, so many neck slots, pickup cavities and control cavities required a retro-adjustment for fitment.  \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe sides are nice and clean.

 virtually unheard of these days.  The metal shielding underneath the pickguard is present and also in excellent condition with employee  inspection signature.  The bridge and saddles all function perfectly.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is very lightweight and the offset body design makes it very comfortable.  The guitar only weighs 6.25 LBS!

The original finish is a factory poly-base coat with a nitrocellulose clear coat. There is really cool transverse line checking all over the body and headstock.  It is fairly light but can be view easily up close and looks killer.  There is also some longitudinal checking above the pickguard on the bass side with overlap between the two types of checking.   It looks so cool!  The finish and clear coat is 100% original.  The body contours are nice and the shape is comfortable.  There is light handling evidence all over, just typical stuff-see photos.   On the backside, there is some toning in the belly-contour; again it is honest mojo and looks great.  The neck joint is a good fitment and the 4-bolt neck plate is super-solid.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck itself is nice and straight.  The truss rod functions.  The neck width at the nut is the standard Jazz Bass 1.5\" wide unit.  The neck depth measures .818\" at the 1st fret and .980\" at the 12th fret.  It has the typical tapered Jazz Bass neck profile that is best described ed as a small C shape.  The original tuning machines all function smoothly and the bass stays in tune perfectly.  The headstock and logo display very nicely with percent patina.  Again, transverse line-checkin appears on the headstock which has toned to a beautiful amber hue.  The 1966-style logo is very nice.  The rosewood fingerboard is very clean and has a nice soft feel.  The pearloid block position markers are nice and elegant.  The frets have been professionally leveled, crowned and polished and appear near-factory height and look clean and crisp-see photos.   The action is set low for an easy playing experience.  The string height is currently .010\" at the 1st fret and .095\" at the 12th fret.  It plays easily up and down the fingerboard with no dead spots and no clack.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups both have an excellent signal and great balance.  The neck position measures 6.44 ohms and the bridge position measures 7.40 ohms.  The controls all work smoothly and quietly.  The original CTS potentiometers date to the 43rd week of 1973 (October).  The harness is clean and correct.  The pickups have the quintessential Jazz Bass punch and attack with the brilliant treble and more defined bass low end.  Sounds fantastic.  The pickguard is nice and flat-the little thumb rest is missing but easily replaced if you so desire.  The chrome covers look nice with minimal patina.  The bridge and saddles are super clean fully adjustable.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Bass is lots of fun to play.  The bass weighs in just over 10-lbs.. pretty decent for a big bass guitar.  It feels nice on a strap or in your lap.  It sounds really clear and is perfect for a variety of uses including studio, live, songwriting etc.  It has a string resonance and is even fun to play unplugged on the couch!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded is the original Fender hard case which features the cool orange interior and it is in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Draggin' Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46344645738721,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_57742.jpg?v=1744851647"},{"product_id":"1962-guild-x-350-stratford-starfire-3-pickup-custom-cherry-mahogany-finish","title":"1962 Guild X 350 Stratford Starfire 3-pickup Custom Cherry Mahogany finish!","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis one has Sold!  If you have a guitar like this one that you want to sell, email us or call us direct: 785-766-8906 9am-9pm any day.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a super rare guitar.  Although it is listed in the original Guild literature as a Stratford Starfire SF-350 model, the inside label denotes this model as an X 350 model (probably an early transition model) and it does list \"cherry\" on the label as well.  There are only 3 known examples to currently exist, including this one.  Talk about rare!  According to serial number and date codes on the potentiometers, this guitar was made in 1962.  It was produced at the highly respected Guild factory in Hoboken New Jersey, U.S.A.  The guitar is 100% original and in very nice condition with no breaks, no cracks, no repairs...it is set up and ready to go.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a large and in charge hollow body monster.

awesome and solid feel to it.  The original vintage lollipop tuners all function smoothly and the bass stays in tune perfectly.  The headstock and logo display amazing, with the special \"competition

vintage 1977 Gibson ES-335 TD model guitar in original \"Wine Red\" finish.  It looks more like a darker version of the typical Gibson Cherry finish-I would call it Dark Cherry and be good with that.  This particular guitar was completed on Monday, November 28th 1977 and the guitar was produced at the original Gibson factory in Kalamazoo Michigan, U.S.A.  The guitar appears to be 100% original condition including the beautiful and vibrant finish.  This guitar was obviously very well-taken care of its whole life and came from the original owner's family.   It is free of any cracks, repairs or funny business.  It is set up and ready to go-it needs nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is the familiar semi-hollow body with center block design, contoured top and back, with a double-bound edge.  The translucent finish is clean and unfaded, and the maple top has a beautiful grain.  The light-cream binding is solid everywhere with no issues.  It is very striking and a nice contrast with the deep red hue.  The backside is slightly darker and just as clean as the front-see photos.  Look long, it's a beauty.  The neck joint is solid and an excellent fitment.  The neck angle is also excellent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck itself is a 3-piece maple design and it is super straight with zero deflection.  The backside is super smooth and very clean-see photos.  The neck width measures 1.58\" wide at the nut.  The neck depth measures .774\" deep at the 1st fret and .981\" at the 12th fret.  It is a classic vintage 1970's Gibson Slim\/Medium profile.  It feels very comfortable and lends itself to easy chord play down low with more girth for aggressive solos up higher.  The original tuners are very nice and operate smoothly.   The guitar stays in tune perfectly.  The headstock and logo both display very nice along with the Gibson \"Crown\" inlay in the center.  The rosewood fingerboard is very clean with only a couple of very small wear marks at the 1st fret and another small one at the 2nd fret-see photos.  The block position markers are clean and classy.  The frets are very good condition with a good height, wide profile and clean surface.  They have been professionally leveled, crowned and polished.  Some of the original fret nibs are still present on the upper frets-the rest have been worn down to the fingerboard edge.  You can see that the frets do not protrude over the binding-indicating that they are indeed original.  The action has been set low for an easy and fast playing experience.  This guitar really plays nice with a very soft touch.  The string height is currently set at .010\" at the 1st fret and .055\" at the 12th fret.  It plays effortlessly all over the fingerboard with zero dead spots and zero fret buzz.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups are the original \"Tarbacks\" aka \"superhumbuckers\" designed by Bill Lawrence.  The pickups both have an excellent signal-the neck position measures 5.25 ohms and the bridge position is 7.90 ohms.  All Tarbacks share this neighborhood and the disparity between rhythm and lead resistances.  The reason for this is simple:  The pickup design is very efficient and the neck position's bass  response amplifies more, therefore it requires less output (response).  These are some of my favorite pickups ever to leave the Gibson factory.  They have more brilliance and low end than anything else Gibson ever offered-but the best part is the characteristic 'shimmer' that cuts through.  They simply sound incredible at volume...You can't get enough of it.  The entire harness is clean and functions perfectly.  The potentiometers all match and date to 1977.  It looks like the 43rd week, which would make perfect sense with the production date being a couple of weeks later.  The switch on the lower bout is factory original and it is a 'split-switch' aka coil tap.  When activated, it splits whichever pickup is selected and disables one coil of the humbucker-so you have a single coil.   The net result is a thinner sound with less low-end.  When the switch is in the position that it appears in these photos, the humbuckers operate normally.  The pickguard is clean and nice and flat with no breaks or cracks.  The bridge is nice and fully functional.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is actually lightweight, it only weighs 7.88lbs which is slightly less than your average Fender Stratocaster (8lbs. if you're curious).   The guitar sits comfortably in your lap and feels nice on a strap.  Of course it sounds fantastic even when it's not plugged in, and it is right at home on the couch.  It sounds killer in the studio and really shines with any quality time amp cranked up.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Gibson form-fit hardcase is in good condition-the handle itself is broken on one end, but all of the latches function and the magenta interior is clean and looks really cool.

This paint technique was just too difficult for the employees to execute consistently and the frosted edge was dropped-leaving us left with a blue guitar.  The Competition Burgundy name continued on as the official name in the Fender catalog.   All Fender finishes that contained metallic paint were covered in a clear coat that was susceptible to yellowing, absorbing UV rays and oxygen, yielding a beautiful turquoise appearance which is what we have here.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced at the original Fender factory in Fullerton California in early 1970, this guitar looks killer.  The guitar has mojo and character to perfectly compliment its famous association with Curt Kobain.   There is minor handling wear all over the body-see photos.  The guitar itself is very solid and most importantly it sounds awesome.  The pickup switches have been replaced along with the output jack.  These components were replaced with correct parts, the jack is a switchcraft unit.

It is very clean and solid.  The finish is amazing and looks good enough to be original-but I think it was sprayed over the top of a sunburst finish.  A black light doesn't do much good to verify sparkle finishes. The neck finish is definitely original front and back, as is the logo decal.  The fingerboard is an amazing slab style of Brazilian Rosewood and it is dark with a very tight grain.  The guitar has obviously been very well cared for its entire life and fully functional.   A vintage Bass VI is a rare Fender guitar for sure-and this one has the early features including pickup rings, flat top screws on the control plate as well as the 3-way pickup selector switch.  Add that up with the fact that this one is a Pre-CBS version and still has the original Brown tolex hardcase and you have a winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a really nice offset contour design with beautiful lines.   The finish is a beautiful hue of Turquoise sparkle.  It is glossy and looks killer.  There are two small line checks in the clear on the side of the guitar.   It certainly looks like a factory original finish-but I have no confirmation of that.   I'm guessing the finish was applied in the early 1960's.   It is really striking and goes well with that fire tortoise shell pickguard.  The neck joint is solid and an excellent fitment.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is straight and super smooth.  The neck has a factory pencil date of \"2-62\" making it a very early production Bass VI.   As previously noted-the finish on the neck is verified to be factory original.  The neck has a great vintage C-shape profile and feels perfect.   It is really smooth.  The neck is 1.57\" wide at the nut.  The neck depth measures .822\" at the 1st fret and .986\" deep at the 12th fret.   The tuners are very early examples that have the top post slotted.  The tuners all function well.  The headstock and logo display excellent.  The fingerboard is a slab-style Brazilian Rosewood piece with very tight grain.  It is dark and beautiful and feels so smooth.  It represents an excellent example of why these Pre-CBS \"slab board\"  fingerboards are so desirable.  The fingerboard is super clean, as are the frets.  The bass has always had this set of flat wound strings on it-according to previous owner.   The high string is separating-so I removed it but it is included.  Because the flat wound strings don't really wear the frets at all-the frets are in excellent condition-I would call them 'like new'.  They are crisp and clean and shine like new-see photos.  The action is low and the bass plays like butter.  It has an easy touch and is lots of fun to play. The string heigh is .010\" at the 1st fret and .085\" at the 12th fret.  Of course you can raise or lower the string height with the bridge-it is easy if you should choose to do that.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pickups all function excellent and have a strong signal. The neck measures 6.20 ohms, the middle position 5.92 ohms and the bridge measures 6.28 ohms.  They are well balanced and sound killer.  All of the electronics function smoothly and quietly.  The potentiometers date to the 12th week of 1962-which lines up perfectly with the neck date.  The bridge and tremolo function nicely and are both in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass is very well balanced and it is a lot of fun to play.  It feels like an elongated jazzmaster and only weighs 9.03 lbs.-so it is very comfortable.  It's so much fun and steals the show from all other vintage guitars-I mean, just look at it.  The original Brown tolex hard case is included for safe keeping.  It is in very nice condition as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47264645415137,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_3427.jpg?v=1760392884"},{"product_id":"1972-fender-precision-bass-sunburst-rosewood","title":"1972 Fender Precision Bass Sunburst Rosewood","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one has Sold!  If you have a guitar like this one that you want to sell, email us or call us direct: 785-766-8906 9am-9pm any day.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can always tell a good guitar because it has been played a lot.  I guess not all good guitars have lots of wear, but all guitars with this much wear are always killer players.  This vintage Fender Precision Bass has ALL of the mojo.   At least there isn't any more of it around here-this bass has soaked it up.   Produced at the original Fender factory in Fullerton California, U.S.A. in 1972, this bass has endured years of gigs, studios and presidencies.  The potentiometers, tone cap and output jack were replaced in 1984 or so-other than that, it is all original.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body has nice contours and as soon as you pick it up you recognize that it is a lightweight and comfortable piece.  There is tons of checking and wear in the original sunburst finish.  It offers zero apologies.  The pickguard is nice and flat with no breaks or cracks.  It looks great.  The neck slot has a fender factory employee's inspection stamp; \"Chambers\" is a familiar sight to vintage Fender enthusiasts.  Underneath the original pickups is another interesting stamp-this one in green ink.  The word \"SPECIAL\" appears-denoting a specific custom order-which would have to be the original large '66' style frets and high-contrast rosewood fingerboard.  There is also additional employee final assembly fine-fitment shaping in the neck slot.  This was sometimes done to provide a cleaner fitment to pickgurads, control clearance, or to just get the neck to lay down a bit more evenly over the finish.  It is pretty light but easily visible with the neck off-see photos.

The guitar has been professionally set up and ready to go-it needs nothing.   Also, it is 100% original. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is super clean and the finish is glossy and beautiful.  The heavy metallic Pelham Blue finish looks really nice and shimmers in the light at low angles-see photos.  The binding is clean and crisp.  If you don't know, the body is basically constructed like a Les Paul with F-holes:  It is a chambered mahogany with set-neck construction.  The top is pretty mint, as are the sides.  There is minimal handling evidence on the backside, looks like polishing cloth lines-difficult to see.  The neck joint is solid and an excellent fitment.  The neck angle is superb.  The truss rod has never even been  touched since new.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck itself is smooth and super straight.  It is a Mahogany construction and has a classic 60's Slim taper profile.  The neck measures 1 11\/16\" wide at the nut.  The neck depth measures .815\" at the 1st fret and .880\" deep at the 12th fret.   The back of the neck is also Pelham Blue and shows zero wear.  The original Grover tuners function smoothly.  The headstock and logo display excellent.  The Rosewood fingerboard is super clean and smooth.  The binding is in perfect condition as are the dot position markers.  The frets appear like-new condition-see photos.  It is obvious that this guitar has simply not been played at all.  The action is set low for an easy playing experience.  The string height currently measures .010\" at the 1st fret and .050\" at the 12th fret.  It plays like butter with no dead spots and no fret buzz whatsoever.  If you prefer a higher action, you can easily raise the string height with the adjustable tune-o-matic bridge.  As it is, this guitar plays lights out and has an inviting feel with a super easy, soft touch. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups have an excellent signal and balance.  They are the original Gibson PAF Burst-Buckers and the neck pickup measures 7.74 ohms and the bridge position checks it at 8.15 ohms.  The PAF Burst-Buckers are excellent pickups and offer a nice variety for all kinds of playing styles.  The harness is mint and the controls function smoothly and quietly.  The hardware is super-clean and the bridge\/tailpiece look like new also.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is lots of fun to play.  It is super comfortable to play whether on a strap or in your lap.  It only weighs 8.53 lbs.  so you can forget all about neck\/shoulder fatigue.  The guitar sounds  a lot like a Les Paul-it has a full tone with sweet brilliance and lots of low-end.  The chambered body makes it feel lighter than a Les Paul-but it still has all of the resonance and sustain.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis  guitar is sure to be a collectible unit soon-there's really nothing like the Midtown in production these days and a Pelham Blue one is super rare!   I have seen a Midtown in Pelham Blue before-but never a used one this clean.  They typically have lots of wear and check lines, because people want to play them!  This one is an exceptional piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Gibson hard shell case is included, of course.

The original tuners all function smoothly and the guitar stays in tune well.  The headstock and logo display excellent with just a touch of patina.  The rosewood fingerboard is clean and has a really beautiful, high-contrast grain-see photos.  The Rosewood fingerboard is fairly rare for this time period and this one has a really nice soft feel to it.  I think it really compliments the Daphne Blue finish of the body and is one of the best combos ever offered.  The frets are nice and tall and have been professionally leveled, crowned and polished and look and feel super crisp-see photos.  The action is set low for an easy playing experience.  Currently the string height is .010\" at the 1st fret and .050\" at the 12th fret.   The Telecaster plays like butter up and down the fingerboard with no dead spots anywhere.  The radius feels a bit flatter than a 1960's Telecaster-which is common for this era-especially with rosewood fingerboards.  Most people find it to be more comfortable and easier to play-especially up high.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups both have a good signal and are well balanced.  The neck pickup measures 7.52 ohms and the bridge pickup measures 7.78 ohms.  The neck pickup looks like a Fender AVRI unit with correct purple windings and cloth wires.  The bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan STL1-B Broadcaster unit.  This pickup is an Alnico V high-output design which captures the early 1950's Twang that we all love.  It has a fat, punchy and aggressive tone.  The 3-way switch is original to the guitar and the potentiometers and tone capacitor have been replaced with quality components.  The pickguard is nice and flat and fits nicely.   The bridge is a Fender AVRI unit with correct stainless saddles and it is fully functional.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is lots of fun to play-it is very comfortable and lightweight.  It weighs exactly 7.77 lbs.   This would be an excellent guitar for playing out!  It is equally at home in the studio or even on the couch.  It's lots of fun and a great opportunity for you to get a vintage Fender Telecaster for less money than a Custom shop reissue-It's the real deal! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with a used tweed hardcase for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47891541491937,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_00912.jpg?v=1769354259"},{"product_id":"1970-fender-stratocaster-3-color-sunburst-rosewood-fingerboard","title":"1969-1970 Fender Stratocaster 3-color Sunburst Rosewood fingerboard","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one has Sold!  If you have a guitar like this one that you want to sell, email us or call us direct: 785-766-8906 9am-9pm any day.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a really nice vintage Fender Stratocaster from one of the hardest eras to find such a model ('68-'71).  Synonymous with Jimi Hendrix, the CBS logo big-headstock Stratocaster was only made for a very short period beginning sometime in 1968 and is one of the rarest era-Stratocasters of all time (fewer orders and changing strategies at Fender resulted in very limited batches throughout 1969 and 1970-with the model being completely revised by early 1971).  The headstock features the new-for late 1968 big Fender logo in Black with large \"Stratocaster\" and the ubiquitous \"With Synchronized Tremolo\" script flowing alongside the lower French curve profile.  A more durable poly finish was used in conjunction with the nitrocellulose lacquer that Fender had always used.  Chrome F-key tuners made their first appearance as well.  Other than that-the basic Stratocaster appointments remained in place including the 4-bolt neck, staggered pole piece pickups, steel block tremolo and patent pending stamped bridge saddles.  This unit here began life in 1969 at the original Fender factory in Fullerton California, U.S.A.  The guitar has all of the provenance including ink date stamps, ink inspection stamps, employee name stamps, pencil batch, and electronic date codes.  It is all original with the exception of a period-correct 5-way switch, and a couple of solder touch-ups.  It is set up and needs nothing-it is ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is the familiar double cutaway Stratocaster profile that remains unchanged since 1954-why mess with perfection?  The Red Alder body is in excellent condition.  The finish shows typical handling evidence all around the outside edges including nicks, pecks, and rub wear-see photos.  Overall-the finish on the body looks really good-the colors are vibrant and unfaded with a really nice wide red band. The neck slot has a nice paint stick shadow with factory employee ink stamp \"Chambers\"-very typical of this time period and exactly what you'd want to see.

 The controls all function smoothly and quietly.  The electronics harness is in excellent shape and the potentiometers date to the 52nd week of 1970.  This indicates the guitar was assembled on the last week of 1970 or shortly thereafter in 1971.  I typically date vintage guitars in accordance with serial number (when applicable) or to the last known date code I can find inside, which would be 1970.  The bridge and saddles all function as designed and the intonation is set perfectly.  The Synchronized Tremolo (Vibrato, actually) functions smoothly.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is a real joy to play.  It weighs just 7.86 lbs which is an excellent weight for a Stratocaster.  The factory contours are well-designed and provide a comfortable playing experience whether sitting or standing.  On a strap or in your lap-this guitar feels great.    The original Fender hardcase is included, of course. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47918052147425,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_01532.jpg?v=1770051783"},{"product_id":"1967-gibson-j-45-cherry-sunburst","title":"1967 Gibson J-45 Cherry Sunburst","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one has Sold!

It produces a distinct, scooped mid-range with pronounced high-end sparkle and tight lows.  The finish is in excellent \u003c\/span\u003econdition, with only a couple of tiny pecks on the backside and some very light arm-wear on the top edge-see photos.  The pickguard is very nice and flat-and fits excellent.  There are some pick-lines in the 'guard above the pickups-see photos.  The neck joint is an excellent fitment and the neck angle is perfect and also adjustable.  The neck slot itself has a few inspection ink stamps as well as the serial number sticker  affixed over the paint stick shadow.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck itself is straight as an arrow and very smooth.  It has a perfect Vintage medium-C shape profile just like a Stratocaster (that's exactly what these necks are-just with a different decal).   The neck width measures 1.62\" wide at the nut and the neck depth measures .867\" at the 1st fret and .957\" deep at the 12th fret.  The end of the neck has the familiar dark red ink stamp \"TEL-DELX '73\" as well as an inspect sheet fixed to the backside.  The tuners are all in excellent condition and turn smoothly.  The headstock and logo display excellent.  The maple fingerboard is in excellent condition as well.  The frets are the factory Jumbo sized units and the have been leveled, crowned and polished and appear near-new condition-see photos.  The action is set low for a fast and easy playing experience.  The string height measures .010\" at the 1st fret and .055\" at the 12th fret.  The Tilt neck adjustment allows for a wide range of neck angle setups-if you prefer a higher action.  Or you can simply raise the adjustable saddles, everything functions perfectly.  As it is the guitar plays lights out!  There are no dead spots whatsoever and it plays like butter up and down the fingerboard.  This guitar provides the player with amazing bends.   It is lots of fun to play, you won't want to put it back down once you pick it up.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups are the highly coveted \"Wide Range\" humbuckers designed by Seth Lover.  Although Fender really wanted a guitar that sounded like a Les Paul (and played like a Stratocaster and looked like a Telecaster) Seth Lover designed these pickups with wide bobbins for a warmth and clarity without the muddy qualities that humbuckers sometimes have.  These pickups sound distinctively clear, with a \"bell\" tone and brilliant, biting highs and a warm, rich bass.  The pickups both have an excellent signal and balance.  The neck position measures 10.80 ohms and the bridge position measures 10.88 ohms.  The wiring harness is in excellent condition and the controls function smoothly and quietly.  The potentiometers date to 1st and 22nd week of 1979.  The pickup co era and bridge display a slight bit of patina which adds to the vintage vibe perfectly.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is super-resonant and is a lot of fun to play-even unplugged!  It has a weight of 9.91 lbs.  There are numerous Fender factory inspection stamps and inspection marks in the neck slot, pickup cavity and neck.   It is 100% original.  The original neck plate has a small amount of corrosion on it, so it currently has a same-era original Fender neck plate that is really clean because that's the way the former owner liked it.  Both neck plates are included, along with the Original Fender moulded Hard Case.   Pretty cool, huh?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut wait-there's MORE!  This Telecaster Deluxe has the original hang tag booklet with serial number stamp and it is also included because that's what I like.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48058898546913,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_1009_2.jpg?v=1773003863"},{"product_id":"1950-gibson-es-140-sunburst-1st-model-year","title":"1950 Gibson ES-140 3\/4 Tobacco Sunburst 1st model Year!","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one has Sold!  If you have a guitar like this one that you want to sell, email us or call us direct: 785-766-8906 9am-9pm any day.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI see 1950's ES-140's come up on the market every now and then, but what I never see is the really early ones...and certainly not the 1st model year 1950-versions.  Well guess what?  That's right-we have a vintage 1950 Gibson ES-140 3\/4 available right now!  It has the early features like the tall knobs and earlier P-90 pickup with Alnico III magnets.   This guitar was produced at the original Gibson factory in Kalamazoo Michigan, U.S.A. in 1950.  The guitar is super-solid with no breaks, no cracks, no repairs-no funny business.  The neck angle is awesome and the guitar plays excellent.  It is 100% original with newer tuner buttons (you'd never know unless I told you-they look original). This guitar has been professionally set up and is ready to go-it needs nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a single Florentine cutaway Double-Bound Electric Spanish silhouette and measures 12.75\" wide (3\/4 the size of the standard ES-model size-hence the name) with a depth of 3.25\". The top is an arched laminated Maple piece and the back is also laminated maple with Mahogany sides.  The set neck is a solid piece of Honduran Mahogany.  The finish is the classic vintage \"Tobacco Sunburst\" meaning it is totally void of any Red hue.  The guitar is super-solid and feels very well constructed.  The Ivory colored binding is in exceptional condition with no issues.  There are no creaks or rattles.  The finish has line checking that adds nicely to the vibe and the finish still has a nice vintage gloss-see photos.  The neck joint is an excellent fitment and the neck angle is superb!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck itself is smooth and straight with no issues.  The scale is 22.75\".  The neck has a nice Vintage Big-C shaped profile and feels great.  The neck measures 1.58\" wide at the nut and the neck depth measures .904\" at the 1st fret and .990\" at the 10th fret.  The tuners all function smoothly.  The headstock and logo display excellent with a touch of patina.  The Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard is clean and beautiful.  It has a really nice soft feel like velvet.  The frets have been professionally leveled, crowned and polished and appear close to new condition-(The frets are near-new height thanks to the previous owner always using flat wounds).  The action is set low for a fast and easy playing experience. The string height is .010\" at the 1st fret and .055\" at the 12th fret.  The guitar has flat wound strings on it currently.   It plays really nicely up and down the fingerboard.  There are no dead spots anywhere.  The short scale makes it a lot of fun to play individual notes at a fast speed, or chords with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickup is the early version of the P-90 model.  It has the Alnico III magnets that were very consistent and have more brilliance and a sweeter tone than the later versions with the Alnico V magnets.   The pickup has an excellent signal and measures 8.45 ohms!  The wiring harness is in excellent condition and the potentiometers turn smoothly and quietly.  The original \"Tall hat box\" gold knobs are in very good, readable condition.   The original faux Tortoiseshell pickguard is in excellent condition-with no cracks and the coloring is really nice-see photos.   The Tailpiece is in excellent condition.  The Rosewood bridge and saddle are in excellent condition and the adjustable function works smoothly.  It has some factory employee's writing on the bottom of the base-most likely production batch numbers-very cool and authentic.  Hard to imagine this guitar was actually produced before the Telecaster or Les Paul models...In fact it blows my mind that Rock \u0026amp; Roll wasn't even close to happening when this guitar was being made!  Crazy.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is super-lightweight and extremely comfortable to play.  It sits great on your lap and feels amazing on a strap.  It only weighs 4.22 lbs. -that makes it one of the lightest electric guitars we have ever had.   It is perfect for Studio, on-stage, songwriting-virtually everything you can think of for Guitar playing.  And Camping!  It is so portable and doesn't even need to be plugged into an amp to have fun with.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with a Quality Hard Case for safe keeping.  The body has a bit of room in the case, so an extra bit of padding like a small hand towel or couple of T-shirts would fix that.  It will be packed properly for shipping of course.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48077887275233,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_1196.jpg?v=1773353815"},{"product_id":"1944-gibson-lg-2-banner","title":"1944 Gibson LG-2 Banner","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one has Sold!  If you have a guitar like this one that you want to sell, email us or call us direct: 785-766-8906 9am-9pm any day.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere's a Gibson LG-2 Banner guitar produced at the original Gibson factory in Kalamazoo Michigan, U.S.A. in 1944.  Such a great guitar and Yes, it has the most gigantic neck ya ever did \u003c\/span\u003eseent.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Draggin' Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48396128288993,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_1965.jpg?v=1779482326"},{"product_id":"1964-fender-jazzmaster-olympic-white-100-original-super-clean-1-owner","title":"1964 Fender Jazzmaster Olympic White 100% Original Super-Clean 1-owner","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one has Sold!  If you have a guitar like this one that you want to sell, email us or call us direct: 785-766-8906 9am-9pm any day.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis beautiful 1964 Fender Jazzmaster is an amazing example of a clean Pre-CBS Custom Color Offset.  The Olympic White finish and matching headstock paired with the incredibly vibrant tortoiseshell pickguard make for an iconic combination.  The guitar is 100% original.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48404528562401,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/files\/IMG_1796.jpg?v=1779646912"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9294\/7681\/collections\/IMG_4573.jpg?v=1761051492","url":"https:\/\/dragginguitars.com\/collections\/what-you-missed-vintage-guitars-we-sold.oembed?page=2","provider":"Draggin' Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
