Vintage guitars for sale: Birmingham

This is about as nice of a 100% original 1952 ES-295 as you can find. The gold finish on these doesn't age well. Making this one, well above average.
The guitar has no breaks or cracks and needs nothing. The original frets have plenty of life left, the truss rod works as it should, and the guitar plays extremely well all the way up the neck. Even the original case is in great shape.
There really isn't much else to say, this is just a great playing guitar in great condition. 0 ... more

This is a 1958 5F8 Tweed Twin chassis. Serial #A00053
Obviously, its pretty rough, but it works, and it screams.
When I got it (chassis only), it had been neglected for years and was a mess. It needed a full cap job, new 3 prong cable, fuse holder, a few of the pots replaced, 1 input jack, the rectifier socket, and little bit of wiring cleanup work.
After all that, and installing a full new set of Tung Sol tubes, she fired right up. The transformers and all the Astrons and components... more

This is a 1960 (I think) Les Paul Junior. The guitar is 100% original in every way, although it does have a few miles on it. The guitar has its original electronics, and all parts are original. It has had no breaks, cracks or previous repairs. It has had a recent fret dress and is ready to go. Frets are at 80%. She weighs 7 1 lbs
The only issue is At some point, it looks like some sort of paint stripper dripped on the headstock and ate through the finish in those spots. Unfortunately, it ... more

Weighing in at 7 1 lbs, this is a 100% original 1971 Fender Telecaster
Serial # 313404
Neck date: April 71
Pots date: 34th week of '66
It appears that the guitar started its life in the Muscogee county school system in Columbus Georgia. It has a sticker on the back of the headstock and by the neck plate saying as much
The body of the guitar has some cosmetic wear that can be seen in the pictures. I guess the kids were a little rough with it! It has very little fret wear, I would... more

This is a 1954 Fender 5D3 Deluxe Guitar Amp Tube Chart is dated DJ (1954, July) .Original Jensen P12R is dated 220420 (20th week of 1954). Serial #3129
When I got this, it was an absolute mess but it had potential!
The first thing I noticed was that the original tweed had been painted gold a very long time ago. The gold didn't age well either. It just makes the amp look dirty and dingy. My first instinct was to clean it, or at least give some thought to the idea of what to do with it. I ... more

This is a 1976 Fender Deluxe Reverb with a Weber 12F150 installed (original speaker included if you want it). The amp has had a full cap job and all regular maintenance done. The transformers and important parts are original to the amp. The amp functions perfectly in every way and sounds incredible. Although, I may be biased, as the Weber 12F150 is my favorite speaker in a Fender.
The amp has newer EH power tubes and mostly original preamp glass. This amp is a player and looks the part. It ... more

Everything that can be wrong with this is. This is a bona-fide project
I believe it started life as a translucent red, mahogany body 1966 Duo Sonic. The pictures tell the story. Massive routing, electronics replaced, pickguard holes, tuners missing, decal messed up, etc
The good news is the neck is in overall good shape and the frets are actually OK-ish. The original neckplate is included, and one of the original pickups is included. Although, it needs to be rewound

Weighing in at 9lbs even, this is a 1979 (or 1980) Martin EM-18 electric guitar in its original case
This has to be one of the cleanest examples of an EM-18 to exist anywhere. It is 100% original, and the pictures tell the story. It looks to have barely been played.
It has been recently cleaned / setup and plays exceptionally well. The pickups are strong and do what humbuckers do. Both pickups are extremely well matched in both volume and tone. The coil split and phase switch give you ... more
