Made during the golden age of post-war Gibson guitars, this 1956 Gibson L-5C presents in beautiful condition and plays fantastically well. The guitar has a full, punchy tone, rivaling the very best cutaway, parallel braced archtops that I have played, very similar to a 1953 example that we sold fairly recently

hello,
incredibly rare and insanely cool 56 tweed deluxe, tolex'd in black by the fender factory around 1967.
this was fender's promo / loaner / rental, so it's one of the best deluxe's on the planet. what do you think they were going to loan out? it's just different, it's better. a little more on the headroom side of the spectrum, which is a very good thing. this amp was tolex'd because it was likely so beat up from so much use. one can only imaginethe recordings and gigs this thing was... more

$8489

Exceptionally clean. Gorgious Brazilian Rosewood fretboard. Original softshell case, Plays and sounds wonderful, light weight at 5lbs. 12oz .Ultra rare!
I personally like the ES-225td model. The thinline body style and single cutaway are very versatile on a guitar that is not really that expensive (even today).

San Diego, California, 921**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

This is an incredible sounding 1956 Martin D-28 with incredible quarter sawn old growth Brazilian Rosewood. This guitar sounds great and was gigged and played a good bit in its life. That being said it still has lots of love to give, plays great as is but could use a little love to take it to that next level. Two pickup holes, small hole from strap peg. Small crack that is stable and has not moved in the 15 years I??ve owed this guitar. The original finish has chipped off the back, still a ... more

1956 Gibson J-45

Lake Stevens, Washington, 982**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$5300

This is a fabulous sounding vintage J-45. You can tell by the way that it was loved and played by its original owner.

You can??t always tell from the fact that a guitar is super clean that it has subpar tone. Sometimes folks just never learn to play and a great sounding guitar remains a case queen.

However, when they are worn like this one, you can be pretty sure they sound great :-). I would call this one ??good?? cosmetic condition for obvious reasons. The guitar has ... more

1956 Gibson ES-125 a killer way to get into a vintage electric box on a budget !

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 333**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The ES-125 was one of Gibson??s 1950s / 60s student models ?? although really a very nice guitar indeed, having no fancy appointments, but being made from essentially the same materials, and using the same construction methods as all Gibson Arch tops of the ... more
