EBAY PRICE GUIDE : 1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior Jr ...LOOK

From the golden age of Gibson, comes this 1959 Les Paul Junior Jr.  It have been refinished however but that just means it's probably affordable!   Still way coooooool if you don't mind just rocking out on a single P-90 !  Scroll down to see how much it sold for. Here's the blurb from the seller.


 
 
1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior Jr ...LOOK!!!!


KILLER TONE FOR THE AGES!!!

Hello and thanks for looking!




You are bidding on a refinished 1959 Gibson Les Paul Jr. No breaks ever. All original sans a few screws, even the nut and frets are original. Frets could use a light level. I bought this guitar at the Philly Guitar Show in the Fall of 2004 as you see it. This is a magnificent sounding guitar...think "Mississippi Queen" or early Humble Pie. Sweet chimey cleans all the way up to the most raucous raging dirt tones you will ever hear. Strong 8.2K Dog ear P90.



During it's life with me I have gigged and recorded with it and it always stays in my home studio which is set at 50% humidity



The headstock face and rear was simply cleared over so the original serial # is intact and the checking on the front is under the clear. I have tried to show the numerous nicks and dings the guitar has accumulated during my ownership. The dealer who sold it to me told me Lay's Guitar in Ohio refinished the guitar(supposedly it was finish stripped in the 70's like most were) but I have no proof of that. Smart on whoever did it to leave the headstock alone.



The jack plate has some cracks in it and the lower truss rod cover screw hole is stripped but not so bad a few slivers of mahogany could not fill. I have simply left that alone through the years. It will ship in a brand new TKL Les Paul case and it will be well packed and de-tuned. Please keep in mind that UPS now requires an item of this value to be brought to a hub or be given to a driver. The nearest hub for me is at least 40 minutes so I would most likely wait for a driver where I work. They are usually here every 2-3 days.



Good luck and please ask ALL questions before bidding.



Thanks!

Burns vibrato were used on Gretsch guitar for part of the 1960's.

Gretsch's 'Country Gentleman' released in 1957 was named after a Chet Atkins hit record. It was Gretsch's first 'thinline' electric and first with new Filter'Tron humbuckers designed by Ray Butts.

POST # 734 EBAY PRICE GUIDE : Vintage 1964 Gibson Firebird III 3 Electric Guitar

Pretty clean vintage '64 Firebird.  I love the streamlined look, nice tidy headstock with tuners at the back although i would imagine it would not be that practical on stage.  Ditto the vibrato unit.  Still one sexy beast.  Great looking guitar although I wish they would make a copy with a smaller body like they do with the 335.

British Vox Mark VI Special






For sale is this circa 1965/1966 British made Vox Mark VI Special, made in Dartford, Kent. It was bought in the 60’s in London. Classic 60's sound and very similar to the one Brian Jones used. 5 digit serial number stamped on the back of the headstock with the word 'SPECIAL' stamped aswell as Made in England. Fantastic sound, and very nice to play, with a low action and straight neck. All three pickups are the original British Vox pickups, though the middle pickup is not currently connected. Neck and bridge pickups sound amazing. Original 3-way switch has been wired so first position is neck pickup, middle position is neck and bridge, and third position is bridge. first pot is master volume, second is tone, third is frozen. The headstock has had a repair (see photos) from former owner after replacing the original tuners, but original tuners have been put back on. Original case has piece missing at base as pictured. Body has a few dings, but nothing bad, see pics. nice player, good action. Please remember this is an original 60's British Vox and is a 45 year old guitar. Any questions please ask. Thanks for looking !
