1934 Martin 0-174316 viewsMy first guitar. Dad bought it from a co-worker for $10. The gentlemen bought it for $35 including a year's lessons during the Great Depression. We had the guitar appraised and told him that it was worth a lot more, but he wanted me to enjoy it and wouldn't accept more. Unbelievable tone and projection from this guitar!

1952 Fender Telecaster Blackguard2654 viewsEverything a blackguard Tele should be - playability, snap, and twang! Complete with thermometer case.
|
|
1952 Gibson Les Paul Model Goldtop2915 viewsOriginal flatwounds were still on this guitar when I got it. My guess is that it was in someone's attic for many years. The initial "B" is affixed to the top. I didn't want to attempt to remove it and damage the finish. Plus, it is the first initial of my wife's name, so it works!

|
1953 Gibson Les Paul Model Goldtop2173 viewsWho said you can't play these trapeze tailpiece models? Obviously, no one told the original owner, because this baby has some mileage on it!
|
|
1954 Gibson Les Paul Model Goldtop2305 viewsAged to a golden brown. When blacklighting it I detected that the original owner must have had his initials on the upper bout of the guitar at one time (those stick on letters).
|
|
1955 Fender Stratocaster272 viewsAll original, excellent plus condition Strat from the best year for V neck shape, ash body, pickups, etc. Has all Bakelite plastics. Amazing guitar to play, and sounds out of this world! A really treasured part of my collection. Ash tray, tremolo bar safely stored in vintage tweed case.
|
|
1955 Gibson Les Paul Model Goldtop2103 viewsPurchased from Dave Rogers. Nice big neck. Plays and sounds great! Stoptails are awesome!
|
|
1956 Gibson ES-140 T1881 viewsA funky little guitar that is fun to play, if you can re-train your hands for the small neck! This one is in mint condition.
|
|
1956 Gibson Les Paul Model Goldtop2417 viewsThe greening isn't as apparent when seeing the guitar in person, but it is fairly prominent when photographing the guitar!
|
|
1957 Gibson ES-225 TN1635 viewsI'm partial to blondes! ES-225s are often overlooked guitars, and I don't know why - they sound absolutely huge!
|
|
1957 Gibson Les Paul Custom2999 viewsI love the sound of the Alnico neck pickup! This guitar is very playable, even with the low frets.
|
|
1957 Gibson Les Paul Special TV Single Cutaway2052 viewsClose to mint condition. Sounds and plays great.
|
|
1957 Gibson Les Paul Model Goldtop2517 viewsThis guitar rocks! I have a photo of the original owner playing it in his band in the late 50's.
|
|
1957 Gibson Les Paul Model Goldtop All Mahogany Body390 viewsA rare bird - not many all mahogany Les Pauls made in this timeframe. Plays and sounds great! Heavy as a boat anchor though at 10 lbs.!
|
|
1958 Fender Telecaster2313 viewsAnother Tele tone monster, this time with the classic white pickguard! Another time machine that's a pickin' and a grinnin'!
|
|
1958 Gibson ES-225 TDN1719 viewsAnother wonderful ES-225, this one with two pickups. These are pretty rare in blonde!
|
|
1958 Gibson ES-335 TD1933 viewsNIce big neck on this one. Probably my favorite "go to" ES-335.
|
|
1958 Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster1760 viewsYou can never have enough PAFs in one guitar! Also purchased from Dave Rogers.
