Vintage guitars for sale: Leeds

I bought this bass last year, and although it's a fantastic instrument, I bought it because of my love of The Police, not my need for yet another P Bass
I'll try to give as much info as possible, but I don't know all that much unfortunately
The serial number dates to 1978, however the previous owner believed it could date be as late as 1980 given Fenders of the era. The finish on the back of the body isn't original, and is a strange matte finish. The front of the body could be original ... more

Epiphone Riviera

A stunning rarity from Epiphone Japan. These old Matsumoku built Epi's are beautifully crafted instruments that ooze class and cool. The dark transparent red finish on this thing is stunning; the pictures really don't do it justice!

This Riviera is essentially a 335 with an Epiphone logo, sporting dual humbuckers and a stopbar tailpiece. A real riff machine!

Yamaha AE-11
A stunner of a Jazzer from Yamaha. A lot of people say 'No good guitars came out of Japan until 1976', these people clearly haven't seen Yamaha's output in the 60's and early 70's!
This AE is an example of just that; a beautifully constructed dual humbucking Hollow body that shares a lot of it's DNA with the Gibson ES-175 but with a unique Japanese twist!

1965 Dobro D40 manufactured in the Gardena factory in California during the last period when the company was under Dopyera family control
Fair condition for age. There have been issues with the side veneers but they are now stable. The internal structure has not been affected as shown by the internal photos
Unusually the cover plate has 3 lines of holes in the 'arches' rather than the usual 2. This is because the factory used cover plates left over from the 'fiddle edged' Dobros

Bought in 2009 from a pawn shop in New Orleans, this guitar has been maintained in a smoke free environment ever since. It is in excellent condition, as close to its original state as one might hope for. It has only very minor blemishes (see photos) as you??d expect from normal wear and tear over 50+ years. It is well played and has that vintage feel. The action is exactly how I like it with minimal discernible fret buzz
The exact date of manufacturing is unknown but it is estimated between ... more
