I am only the 3rd owner of this guitar, the original
owner purchased the guitar in 1973. I purchase this guitar a 4 years ago and
now hate to sell it, but unfortunately it must go because of finance purposes. The
guitar is in overall good condition and sounds incredible. Overall the body,
hardware and neck  is  a honest play wear which is OK for the 36 year
old guitar. The
neck is arrow straight in a medium to thin profile with no breaks or
repairs. There is some rash on the backside, front and overall the body but
nothing serious. The sound is incredible. The ebony fingerboard is pristine
with the original “Fretless Wonder” frets showing minimal wear and
have plenty of life left. Second fret has a little crack which one professionall
repaired a few years ago. Itâ??s really isnâ??t anything serious  and you canâ??t really feel it when you are  playing. Original hard case is including.
The
guitar sells as is. No return. Please ask all questions before biding. Shipping
is $80 to any 48 US states Thru UPS fully insured
and professional package. Payment via PayPal E-check option only. Please ask if
donâ??t know what it is.
Good
luck.============================================================================================================================

Gibson Les Paul Classic Premium Plus excellent 1994

Gibson Les Paul Classic Premium Plus excellent 1994

Info:  
I bought this guitar from friend a few years ago, and have played it exclusively in church.  It is all stock except the strap locks (I’ll include these and the original strap pins). My scale is not very accurate, but I get 8.5 lbs.  According to the below info., this one is light.  Itâ??s lighter than my 1960 Classic.  There are slight nicks and scratches all around, and a place just in front of the bridge pickup where there is the slightest flaw in the nitro finish (I played it for two years before noticing it- non-photographical).  Slight wearing of the nickel on the bridge and stop bar.  All these are very small and only you will notice them, but I like to be completely up front. 
 
Gibson stamped â??CLASSIC PLUSâ? in the bridge pickup cavity, and this is accompanied by a superimposed stamp, â??Checked on x2 1994â? Iâ??m not sure if it says â??2, 1994â?, or â??12, 1994â?.  In any case, it was built in 1994.  There are no issues with the guitar.  The neck is not as thick as my 2005 1960 Classic- more like that of a Stratocaster; both pickups are very toneful, and the bridge pickup is particularly raucous.   $70.00 flat-rate insured shipping to 48 continental United States.  Domestic shipping only. 
From the Gibson forum:
â??As history goes, J.T. Riboloff of the Custom Shop had been approached by a lot of players who asked him to build special one-off Les Pauls with slimmer profile necks as found on the 1960 Standard. After consultation with Henry Juszkiewicz, Gibsonâ??s CEO, a production version appeared in 1990. Classics had many features of reissue Les Pauls, including a smaller headstock, nickel hardware, ABR-1 bridge, Kluson style tuners, and vintage style knobs. For the first few years they did have the thin binding in the cutaway, but that changed by approximately 1993. To meet the demands of modern musicians seeking a high output sound, the Classics were equipped with hot 496R and 500T ceramic magnet pickups.
The original intention for the Classic model was to have plain tops, but given player demand for figured tops, the Classic Plus (with â??AAâ? grade flame tops) and Classic Premium Plus models (with â??AAAâ? grade flame tops) were introduced in 1992/93. The â??AAAâ? tops were supposed to be the most highly figured, with flame going from edge to edge, although there are some Classic Plus models with outstanding flame tops that rival their Classic Premium Plus brethren.  Accounts vary on the exact start and end years, but the Les Paul Classic Premium Plus was introduced in the 1993 time frame, discontinued in 1997, and reintroduced from 1999 through 2001. The USA Classic Premium Plus models weights varied, but most are in the low 9 pound range.

Gibson SG Standard w/OHSC 1999 Heritage Cherry

Gibson SG Standard w/OHSC 1999 Heritage Cherry

Info:  This is my 1999 Gibson SG Standard guitar. It has led a pampered existence. I am the original owner. It’s only been out of the house maybe a dozen times. I don’t know how anyone would ever be able to tell that it’s not new.
The only signs of wear are extremely minor. There is no buckle rash, gashes, dents, or gouges. Nothing like that. The only thing that comes close at all is represented in the picture just above the nut where I there is some superficial wear from where this guitar hung on a wall mount holder. The intonation is excellect. Everything is in perfect working order.
Only reason I’m selling it is because I’ve acquired many other guitars. This was my first “real” guitar and it was what I thought I wanted at the time. My tastes have changed and this particular guitar has gone virtually unplayed for about two years now.
It includes the original hard shell case, also in very good condition.
I’ve provided pictures to the best of my photographic ability but if you’d like to see something in particular just shoot me a message and let me know.
Now all the ugly stuff that seems to have become necessary: No international sales. Don’t even ask – you’ll be lucky if I reply and if I do it’ll probably be rude because I made a special point of saying no International sales here. If you’ve got negative feedback it may raise some questions and affect the sale. If you bid and don’t follow through I’ll pursue every legitimate remedy available to me as an eBay and/or PayPal customer. Seriously, let’s not make this harder than it needs to be.
Thanks for looking!

This is a great vintage guitar that came to me from the original owner.He stated that he purchased it new in 1966.The serial number is 671*** and that seems to match his story within a year either way.There are NO condition issues other than normal wear besides the volume knob being replaced with an old Framus knob that I had on hand.It is a close match and you probably would not have noticed but I thought that I should mention it.There are NO cracks,breaks or repairs to this guitar.The neck is straight,the trussrod works,the frets show some wear in the first postion but are in good shape.The strings are set reasonably low and it has just been set up with a set of light Ernie Ball 10-46 strings.It plays and sounds great.The guitar has been lightly cleaned but may use a more detailed cleaning if you are picky.The guitar has light wear throughout to the paint  including small dings and some deeper finish checking that seems to show up more on European guitars.The blue color is very attractive and shows some light greening.The neck has some finish flaking on the back mainly behind the 3rd fret or so.This is very common on these old Hagstroms.Play it regularly and it will get that vintage Strat or Tele look on the back of the neck.The On/Off slider switch tends to stay on most of the time even when slid to the off postion.All the other electronics and switches work the way that they should.Overall,it is in nice shape.It came to me in a chipboard case that could not be saved.So,I am selling it in a generic gigbag that provides basic protection.Again,this is a hard one to find in this Daphne blue color and condition.It has great tones and a lightly reliced vibe.

Please, no zero feedback bidders. Your bid will be cancelled.  Any screwing around on this auction and it will be cancelled. That means no bid retractions to see where the last bidder is at. Any bid retraction will cause me to end the auction. Bid retractions and bids by zero feedback bidders are just not fair to the rest of the ebay community. OK? Local pickup is fine but 7% tax will be charged for local pickup or New Jersey purchasers. It is the law. Don’t ask me to break it. And please, no inane questions, like “Why are you doing this?” or “Why are you selling it?” or “What’s wrong with  it?” (nothing) or “Don’t you know you can lose money like this?.” We will not respond to stupid or ridicculous questions/obsevations.

Hoboken Vintage Click For Phone
We often get asked: Why are shipping costs so high? Well, first of all, we want you to get your guitar in one piece. So we use NEW boxes ($10 each) and new packing peanuts and bubblewrap. I also have an employee who packs guitars and amps like the pro that he is. Also, fuel prices have gone up alot, and UPS has passed this cost on to us.We also insure our items against loss or breakage. OK?
Overseas bidders: here’s the deal. You MAY bid.  However, you must follow the rules of my auction. Please do NOT ask me to adjust the price so you can avoid paying import/VAT taxes.  I will NOT break the law.  Do not even think of asking me to declare a $4000 guitar for $600. No exceptions. Also,you will pay actual shipping prices via UPS ONLY. It’s expensive, around $300 because of rising fuel costs. I DO NOT ship United States Postal service. They have lost our last guitar.  I insure our guitars for full price, to protect both of us if the guitar is lost or broken in transit.  We love our Europeon customers, but please don’t ask us to break the law.  With the U.S. dollar at 1.35/Euro, you’re getting a deal already. … Click For More Info

Fender American Vintage Hot Rod ’62 Stratocaster

Fender American Vintage Hot Rod '62 Stratocaster

Info:  Hi. I bought this olympic white strat brand new from Sam Ash just over a year ago.  It is in emmaculate condition with just hours played on it.   I don’t play out so this guitar has never left my smoke free home once.  You won’t find a better used one anywhere.  Absolutely no dings, scuffs, chips, or marks of any kind anywhere on it.  The tweed case will be included as well. 
Only selling as stated above I just don’t play this one enough to justify keeping it anymore.  I play my Les Pauls & just prefer that tone for me more. (personal prefernce)  This one sells new for $2159.99.  I have a no reserve so good luck and if any questions please ask.  Have a great day.  Brian

1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom – Tobacco Sunburst

1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom - Tobacco Sunburst

Info:  Up for auction is a beautiful 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom in desirable Tobacco Sunburst. Everyting is original on the guitar from the pots to the pickups to the hardware. NO breaks, NO cracks, NO repairs – just an excellent example of a late 70′s Gibson tone monster. Both pickups have tremendous output and sound incredible. Sustain forever on this solid 1 piece mahogany body and 3 piece maple top.  I actually had to convince myself that this was a 3 piece top as the pieces are so well matched it looks like a 1 piece top.  Really rare for gibson to be that careful on tops from that period.  Someone must have had a “Good Night” the night before this top was selected – it is that well done. The weight on this guitar is probably close to 11 lbs.
Only detractions on this guitar are:

Normal play-wear on the side of the neck
Two areas on the back of the neck where the finish has worn most likely from leaning against something (like a guitar stand) for a period of time
Other than those 2 issues this guitar looks like it left the showroom only a few years ago. The finish on the hardware is in way better shape then 95% of other LP Customs from the late 70′s and there is NO buckle rash, and only minor worming on the back. Maybe 1 or 2 small dings but you would have to look hard to notice.  The headstock is by far the cleanest one I have ever seen on a vintage 70′s LP custom and I have owned many! Great buy it now price and low reserve so jump on this while you can!
Check my feedback.  I have sold many high-end guitars on eBay with 100% customer satisfaction.  And unlike many other dealers I have no problem shipping to our European friends, just email me before bidding so I can send you additional terms and extra shipping costs.

 On Apr-06-09 at 18:23:18 PDT, seller added the following information:My apologies to our European brethern, but it seems I neglected to allow you to bid on the guitar when I set up the auction.  Evidently I am not allowed to modify the auction to allow European and Australian bidders after receiving the first bid.  If you would like the guitar I suggest you go to the GBASE link in the auction and click on the guitar there and send me an email about the guitar and it could be purchased that way. I don’t want to solicit outside of this auction, but the guitar is for sale that way anyway.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  … Click For More Info

Fender Rosewood Telecaster Vintage MIJ 1985 tele guitar

Fender Rosewood Telecaster Vintage MIJ 1985 tele guitar

Info:   Mint unbelievable condition 1985 Fender Rosewood Telecaster, Made in Japan. Possibly played 15-20 hours as seen by minimal pickguard pick marks. Just taking the pics was too exciting !! No marks anywhere, no oxidation, not even any fretwear. Has original case and Ashtray cover. These are really rare and hard to find let alone in this condition. Sound is really a rich organic tele sound due to age of wood and pickups. All wood is rosewood. Neck & headstock are one piece & have regular C tele shape. Body is 3 piece but hard to really see where ends meet. Has a thin sandwich layer of maple binding in middle which really helps set off the Rosewood. Not very heavy, about 9 lbs, maybe a little less.Due to being 80′s, rosewood was most likely of higher quality than what is available today due to gov’t limits on wood harvesting. Hardware is all nickel including 6 individual saddles. Finish is flawless as with most MIJ fenders. Do not confuse this with cheap Mexican reissues (veneer,not solid) or Custom shop models, this is an original. It is currently setup with pretty low action & set of DR pure blues 10-46. Looks like the one George Harrison played in the 1969 Let it Be video on the rooftop. These reissues were made from 1985-1987 and this one dates to 1985 (s#A063068). Will ship insured UPS ground for $55 Eastern US & $85 West.Please wait for my invoice before paying. USA bids only, paypal or e check only. Less than 5 feedback,email me before bidding.On Apr-09-09 at 18:38:58 PDT, seller added the following information: Note:there is a small crack in the finish behind the tone knob where the screw goes into the body about 1/4″ long and would not come out in the pics. It is 1985 model so its possible that this also is due to the age of the material.Not what I consider a problem just wanted to be up front about all details.Ill try and take a pic of it for serious buyers that want me to email it as I cant add any more pics. … Click For More Info
