This 1944 Gibson L-7 is a rare World War 2 era example. Gibson made very few archtops during the war, and most were lower end models, primarily L-50s.

This example is remarkable for still having an adjustable truss rod, which was not the case for most war era Gibson guitars. Interestingly it also features a rosewood fretboard ... more

This listing is for a Vintage Vega C-76 Archtop Electric Guitar. This guitar was made in the late 1930's or early 1940's. The serial # is 40281. The guitar is a lovely vintage large body Archtop guitar. To the best of my knowledge this guitar was originally a fully acoustic model and someone added a great sounding Vintage DeArmond Dynasonic that would typically be found on a Gretsch from the 1950's.
The guitar is a very good playing and sounding guitar but is quite old so it obviously has ... more

Outrageously cool c. 1960s mystery Japanese hollowbody electric. Of unknown brand but pretty obviously Matsumoku-made. I??ve played some VERY cool Japanese guitars (Telestar Sparkles, Trini Lopez copies, Sharkfins, Teardrops??) but this IS the coolest. Doesn??t look like it ever had a badge or logo on the headstock, so no help there. The only thing I??ve come across even close is an Aria with a similar body (although offset), and the relatively common but very tasty EA 270 type single coils with... more

Hofner Senator Brunette, made in Germany in 1963.
Repaired as the headstock broke off. I used glue, screws, and wood for support. In my experience, it won??t break again.

Apart from that, all the accessories were replaced, so it lost most of its collectible value, but it is still a very good looking German 60??s archtop guitar that sounds and plays amazing.

Here's a cool old 1930s archtop project for someone. Custom Kraft branded guitars such as this one were made by both Harmony and Regal and perhaps others as well but this one was made by Regal, the headstock, neck shape, and body shape are all dead giveaways.
This would have been a lower end model it it's day as is evident by the faux spruce grain painted on the top and faux flamed maple painted on the back. The top, back, and sides, are all made of solid birch. The top and back would have ... more

Gemäss Seriennummer stammt die Gitarre wohl aus dem Jahre 1959 (D59). Sie ist in Anbetracht ihres Alters in einem sehr guten Zustand. Natürlich sind diverse Dings und Dongs vorhanden (siehe Fotos) und auch der Lack weist feine Risse auf. Dies verleiht der Gitarre aber Charme und beeinträchtigt den tollen Look nicht. Die Bespielbarkeit ist immer noch bestens und der Hals gerade. Die Schraube, welche den Hals mit dem Korpus verbindet (siehe Foto), wurde wahrscheinlich vom Vorbesitzer ... more

A top quality professional instruments

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

The label inside reads:?Melody School of Music Pty Ltd?? which seems to have been a music school Records on Google refer to a Sydney based school which was set up as maybe afranchise of an American company of the same name. There was an ad for this school in a FiveScore comic dated January 1965 which ... more
