Vintage guitars for sale: Birmingham

This is a 1958 5F8 Tweed Twin chassis. Serial #A00053
Obviously, its pretty rough, but it works, and it screams.
When I got it (chassis only), it had been neglected for years and was a mess. It needed a full cap job, new 3 prong cable, fuse holder, a few of the pots replaced, 1 input jack, the rectifier socket, and little bit of wiring cleanup work.
After all that, and installing a full new set of Tung Sol tubes, she fired right up. The transformers and all the Astrons and components... more

This is a 1960 (I think) Les Paul Junior. The guitar is 100% original in every way, although it does have a few miles on it. The guitar has its original electronics, and all parts are original. It has had no breaks, cracks or previous repairs. It has had a recent fret dress and is ready to go. Frets are at 80%. She weighs 7 1 lbs
The only issue is At some point, it looks like some sort of paint stripper dripped on the headstock and ate through the finish in those spots. Unfortunately, it ... more

This is a 1967 Gibson ES-330. It's in 100% all original condition and comes with it's original case
If you're looking for a 1967 Cherry ES-330, this is about as nice of one as is available.
Cosmetically, the guitar is in excellent condition with very few blemishes of any kind. There are a few marks around the headstock, but nothing major. The guitar has some light checking on the front, and hardly any on the back.
The original frets have some light fretwear on the first few, but ... more

This is a 1967 Gibson SG Special in Alpine White
Ok, the bad stuff first. It has had Grover tuners installed. It is missing a fretboard marker which is an easy fix, I just can't find another marker that I'm happy with the look of. The original lightning bolt bridge is long gone and has been replaced with a Music City Bridge which is as good as it gets. The studs are the Music City locking studs also, although the original studs are included
The good . All electronics are 100% original ... more

This is a 1954 Fender 5D3 Deluxe Guitar Amp Tube Chart is dated DJ (1954, July) .Original Jensen P12R is dated 220420 (20th week of 1954). Serial #3129
When I got this, it was an absolute mess but it had potential!
The first thing I noticed was that the original tweed had been painted gold a very long time ago. The gold didn't age well either. It just makes the amp look dirty and dingy. My first instinct was to clean it, or at least give some thought to the idea of what to do with it. I ... more

This is an early 1970's Gibson ES-335. I don't exactly the year, but the features and serial put it from 1970-1975. I'm guessing 1973 as other guitars claiming to be 1973's have a similar vibrant cherry finish
The guitar is 100% original with no breaks, cracks, or previous repairs. Although, the knobs MAY be replacements. Other than that, she's all there. The guitar has been freshly cleaned and set up with D'addario 11's and plays exactly like it should. The original frets have very little ... more

It's in good condition overall, but there are some spots on the back where there should be exposed wood, but a previous owner has touched it up
It's mostly original, but the bridge cover plate and tremolo arm (arm, washer and screw) are replacements. The original bridge cover plate will be included in the case pocket, but it has been altered. The threads on the original bridge are stripped, so the trem arm does not... more

1968 Gibson SG Standard- Maestro-Ebony--Very Cool Guitar--It definitely has the IT factor--this is the MOJO that the Gibson Custom Shop (Murphy Lab ) is trying to replicate but this is the Real Deal--The refinish is Old -the Guitar is 56 years old now and my guess is the finish is from the 80's-it's for sure been done long ago--perhaps they were trying to get that Angus Young Vibe and did a great job in the process--Guitar came in an 80's Hamer Case and had a Hamer 80's USA pickup in the Neck ... more

This is a rare bird . A 1966 Fender 1x15 Extension Cabinet. Presumably, to be mated with a Vibroverb / Pro, or whatever .
It is missing the top back panel, and has a few extra holes in it, but is otherwise original. The original (I'm reasonably certain it's original, the date code of 220609 certainly lines up) Jensen speaker works as it should and actually sounds pretty good. The cabinet is structurally sound and ready to go

This is a 1976 Fender Deluxe Reverb with a Weber 12F150 installed (original speaker included if you want it). The amp has had a full cap job and all regular maintenance done. The transformers and important parts are original to the amp. The amp functions perfectly in every way and sounds incredible. Although, I may be biased, as the Weber 12F150 is my favorite speaker in a Fender.
The amp has newer EH power tubes and mostly original preamp glass. This amp is a player and looks the part. It ... more

This is from a late 50's or 60's Gibson EB-2 bass guitar. The pickguard is in solid condition and comes with its original bracket.
The bracket has some nice patina on it. It would polish up nicely if desired. The guard has some marks running the length of it. I tried to get them to show in the light. They are not scratches and not into the pickguard material. They are certainly normal playwear I just like to over-describe so there are no surprises when it arrives
If you need one to ... more

This Jensen P10R wears the C5636-6 factory order code. OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer " This means they left the fender factory in an amp. This is for a Fender Tweed Super, Bassman, Vibrolux, Concert or Bandmaster in their respective configurations
It has some other codes on it, but not a discernable date code. I believe it to be from late 50's or early 60's
