The most iconic Dreadnought guitars has been, and always will be, the Martin D-28. During the 50s, it featured Brazilian rosewood back & sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and spruce top. The accentuated mid frequencies are a flat-pickers dream and this guitar demonstrates them in spades. Let me list the pros of this guitar: this is a one owner from a local musician that used to accompany Patsy Cline around town. It has a crack free back and a crack free top (other that the repair under ... more

1955 was a year when Fender made significant refinements for the Princeton. Based on my research, there were only 300 of the 5E2 amps. Check out the extremely low serial number P00183 and Lily signature on the label inside the amp. The circuit has a filter choke, evident on top of the chassis, and a negative feedback loop. The cabinet is the same size as the later narrow panel Champ with a tube cutout on the back panel. You also get the bonus of a tone control
This amp has had some the ... more

In 1955, the founder of Kay Guitars, Henry "Kay" Kuhrmeyer retired from running the company.

This guitar was made that same year and is both vintage and historical. It truly has all the features that Kay was trying to incorporate into his stringed instruments. In my mind, he ... more

I've owned this guitar for about 20 years after its previous owner had significantly restored it back to it's original spec by respected Luthier Ray Cooper (sadly now passed away). It is a Player grade guitar - some might call it a barn find
At the heart of it - this is a 1955 Les Paul Junior - it is incredibly light original mahogany from Honduras presumably. It has the original p-90 pickup. It has led the life of well-played instrument (there's a reason why the mint ones are mint y'know) ... more

A fine example of a light relic Strat. It's the same as when I bought it 14 years ago. Some bare wood, but not too much. With nice varnish checking and ageing of metal parts and a very light, thin nitro finish
