This is a vintage 1954 Fender 5D3 Tweed Deluxe that came right before the 5E3 iteration. And yes, it still retains its original canvas cover from Victoria Luggage Company in Los Angeles, California.

This 1956 Gibson L-5 CESN was one of two main guitars of Allen Hanlon. Hanlon made his long career mainly as a jazz session guitarist, but he also played in several well known groups, including a short stint in The New Benny Goodman Sextet, as well as playing with the Adrian Rollini Trio and the Red Norvo Orchestra. His most notable recording credit is probably the 1967 Louis Armstrong session for What a Wonderful World. He is credited with playing guitar on sessions for countless other ... more

Very interesting and truly stunning 1956 Hofner model 461 acoustic archtop, in gloss black with the ??dancing seals?? sound holes. Made in West Germany. Just over 16?? at lower bouts.

This Used 1956 Martin 000-18 Acoustic Guitar in Natural is here on consignment. Moisture appears to have infiltrated the finish on the headstock, which has caused the finish to lift. Make sure to check out the pics. The rest of the guitar is free from this kind of wear. However, it has been played over the years, so it shows all the signs of a guitar that was played heavily, at least at some point throughout its life. There are a few heavy weather checks in the top, but we have inspected the ... more

This is just another one of those things you need for a proper restoration of your vintage Fender guitar or bass. This is a nickel-plated set from a 1968 Fender Precision Bass that's in great shape. Correct for any Fender electric guitar or bass from 1967 thru 1975. Can also be used on pre-CBS instruments because most people can't tell the difference. There's a nice patina and no pitting or oxidation on the screw heads and the threads are also in fine condition. ... more

It's kind of funny listing a part for restoration that needs restoration! But it's a genuine Fender knob from a 1956 Telecaster that is also correct for Precision Bass. It's in decent shape, well-worn knurling and cool patina that looks like crazing in the chrome. The hole has been drilled out, probably because the original screw was frozen. It can be repaired by bleeding solder into the hole and then redrilling and tapping it for a new set screw. I've done it with ... more

This guitar has certainly been played through the years. I am not 100% sure of the exact date of manufacture, I suspect 1948 to 1956. The pick guard was taken off at some stage, you can see the old screw hole. The pickup and jack input are working. Strings need changing but I'll leave that to any prospective new owner
The guitar was left to me by a good friend. I know that it is certainly a rarity and worth more than I am asking, but I am also aware of the fact it has a lot of dings and ... more

Camil Desroches' personal Montreal Forum pass signed by Desroches and Frank J. Selke. Has pieces of clear tape in the corners but otherwise a sharp piece with nice bold signatures. The Habs won their 2nd of 5 consecutive cups that season, a feat that will never be equalled. Authenticity guaranteed and comes with my own COA.

Beautiful Original Kluson single line set, complete with its original sockets and original screws. The set is very worn, lots of patina. Really nice for a 50s / 60s fendele restoration.

Really hard to find, especially the original sockets and screws. The set works perfectly, all the keys are straight. If you want, you can always polish it but I ... more
