The 16?? line of Gibson Archtops are some of their best from the 50??s & 60??s. This is a fully acoustic L-4C w / a sharp Florentine cutaway that most people think is an acoustic ES-175 but they differ drastically. The 175??s are all laminated maple. This L-4C has a solid carved Spruce top w / maple back & sides w / a 1 piece mahogany neck w / a 1 11 / 16?? nut width. Its Dark Sunburst finish has wonderful patina having lots of weather checking all over that shows its originality. Its ... more

It's difficult to capture the beauty and craftsmanship of this rare 46-year-old guitar in these pictures. The finish is worn on the pickups, there are tiny dings and scratches that don't show up well in photos, look closely and see small chips in the binding and a tiny chip in the nut at the first string. I believe the archtop is spruce (feel free to correct me) and the body of figured maple has a depth you can get lost in. Ebony fretboard has inlays that, well just look. In the Blues Brothers ... more

Vintage 1997 Gibson L-5 Studio in stunning Sunburst finish
In 1996, responding to the demand for a popular priced alternative for the working player, Gibson introduced the L-5 Studio.

According to Garakutaguitar at the 'Junk Guitar Museum, Matsumotu' these 'Sheltone' branded models were produced, with various headstock designs at Fujigen Gakki during the early 1960's
Although to the less observant they bear a similarity to the later Teisco produced models, having had dozens of the latter pass through my hands over the years, this Sheltone offering is of superior quality which bears out the origins.
The neck joint, although still bolt on is a proper socketted tenon ... more

Ibanez LGB30 in sunburst with original hard case. This is an excellent guitar for jazz and also good for blues due to the two humbuckers. It is currently strung with Thomastik flatwound 12s, with a very low action for this style of guitar. The neck is slim and very comfortable, and the body is shallower than a standard archtop with a 15" lower bout, making it comfortable and easy to play if you're used to solid body guitars. I have played this guitar a lot over the last few years and have loved ... more

This 1950s Harmony dates from the era of the first wave of American 'garage rock', and newly emerging skiffle bands. No electrical hook up would have meant these hollow body guitars would have had to have been mic'd up. Which would have accounted for the heavy and aggressive playing style, of the time, to have had any hope of being heard over the drums
This truly gorgeous vintage guitar was professionally serviced and part rebuilt, with reglued internal beams and a reset neck at Hanks Guitar... more

Vintage Archtop Guitar

Quirky old 1972 Guyatone with a booster switch and two p90s. They run on the hotter side especially with the booster - love using the neck for jazz and there is heaps of depth and personality in the tone but it was actually intended as a rockabilly guitar. If you put roundwounds on it, it sounds great playing twangier, snarly material.

Comes with a stock Bigsby style bridge - I have the arm off for storage but obviously included in sale
