FENDER

Fender SRV Strat – one of THE best sounding Strats I have ever played, and I have played tons in my time, including several other SRV models.  This one is hands down BETTER sounding!  It has more punch, more twang, more balls – you get the idea —what a tone!   This is a player’s guitar not a collector’s, b/c it has a small nick on the back.  (But I’ve enjoyed it in my collection J.) The famous Texas Special pickups, and SRV pickguard all come standard. Neck is strait and frets are perfect. A true players dream.  Twang bar not included, but comes with the original tweed case.  You just won’t find a better TONE anywhere! $850 Fender SRV Strat  MVC-848X.JPG MVC-849F.JPG MVC-850F.JPG MVC-851F.JPG MVC-852F.JPG MVC-853F.JPG

 

Gtrkev’s note: You can find these a on eBay in this condition for the same price, but NOT better playing!!  That’s why I have not dropped the price for quick sale because it just sounds soooo good!  If you do decide to buy it, you just won’t find another that sounds this good!

1995 "Jimmy Page" Signature Les Paul Guitar1995 Gibson Jimmy Page Les Paul based on Jimmy's own customized '59 Standard.  Hand shaped neck, first year of production, I just got this one (10/2002), and it is MINT!!  It’s hard to find a 1995 in this good of a condition.  This guitar has flames that really stand out.  The “holy grail” of Les Paul collectors in my humble opinion.  Make an offer.   95 Jimmy Page LP picture #1 95 Jimmy Page picture #2

 

 

(sold) 1982 Gibson Explorera sonic blast captured in time!  This 20 year old guitar is in  EXCELLENT(+) condition. (and not just for it’s age either, it’s practically mint).  The sound is amazing.  The “brown sound” nailed to a “T”. (Just supply your own high gain amp.)   Like Van Halen 1, 2, & 3…?  Just plug it in.  Also captures lots of other early 80’s sounds, too, such as:  Scorpions,  ZZ TOP, Michael Schenker Group, 38 special…, on and on.  All mahogany body, dark red finish (almost black in color) 100% perfect on the front, a groove or two on the back (nothing thru the finish), white pickguard.  Two screaming pickups.  Rosewood fretboard.  A dream to play! (especially if you like a huge sound).   If I sound excited about this guitar, it’s because I just got done playing it.  It totally rocks!  Pictures coming soon.  e-mail me if interested, I’ll send you some pix. Reserve is only $699.00 or “Buy It Now” $750.00 on eBay. go to eBay: see or bid on this Gibson Explorer

 

(sold)2001 Gibson ES 335 B. B. King “Lucille”When I first picked this guitar up, I could not believe all these sounds were possible. The secret to so many sounds comes from turning a six-position Varitone Switch. To further add to the guitar’s flexibility, there are two output jacks! Plug into one jack for regular (mono) playing, or plug into both jacks for stereo!  Being a Gibson collector, I especially like the Ebony Fingerboard with Pearl block Inlay (Just like my Les Paul Custom’s).  This guitar can truly get a range of sounds from a Les Paul Custom, to ES-335, to Strat.  But the sound it does best is, of course, the “B.B. King” king-of-the-blues sound.  Versatile and beautiful, most of the guitar is in MINT condition but on the back there are very, very light markings, nothing bad at all.  The guitar easily rates a 9.5+ out of 10.  Frets are perfect.  Plays and looks brand new.  You will not be disappointed!  Gibson’s info on “Lucille”.  Check out my positive feedback, and Bid with Confidence!    go to eBay: see or bid on this BB King 335 "Lucille"!!

(sold) 1997 "Jimmy Page" Signature Les Paul Guitar1997 Gibson Jimmy Page Les Paul based on Jimmy's own customized '59 Standard. His personal touch is everywhere: from the push/pull controls for phasing, coil-tapping, and series/parallel wiring, right down to the compound radius neck profile Reserve.  I just got this one, and it is MINT!!  This guitar has flames that are just awesome, especially for a top that is supposed to be “AA”.  These flames are closer to many “premium plus” Les Paul guitars I have seen.  I’m very impressed with the finish and wood on this top.  MINT $2,700.00 reserve

(SOLD) Gibson LES PAUL CUSTOM, Black Beauty 1957 R/I, excellent condition $1750.00 (SEE eBay LISTING ABOVE)

I try to be conservative when I rate the guitars I sell, but I must say this one is in very good

condition.  There is some very, very light worming on the back but I could

not get it to show in the photos, not bad at all, but I want you to know its

there.  Otherwise, this guitar is in great shape.  Plays great, excellent

action.  Classic Black Beauty.  You will not be disappointed with this one!!

JACKSON

My Sunset USA Jackson  is now for sale!!  MINT condition, finish and frets are perfect.  And it plays great too! Neck through, active pickups, all original.  Mid boost pre-amp, Jackson pickups, everything!!!!  $1,400.00 

  Gtrkev’s note: I have had this guitar for about 2 years it plays great, but I did not want to scratch it, so I think I’ve played it a total of about 15 minutes. As you know, by my Jackson collection, I have many other Jackson’s to play if I really want to play a Jackson.  I’m sure I have opened the case and looked at it, and shown it to my friends, many more times and much longer than I have played it.  It is a magnificent work of art!  For me, it was a completely collectible purchase.  You see when this guitar first came out, I was completely broke -- a student.  There was no way I could afford such a guitar (well over $1500.00 new, 10 years ago), and even if I could afford it, no music store in town had these Jackson Soloist’s with the custom paint.  (This was before ebay was very popular so forget about trying to buy one 2 or 3 years old).  But after searching for about 6 years total (and 2 or 3 years on eBay) I finally found what I was looking for.  The guy I bought this from had it for about 5 years and he also took extreme care of this baby, putting less than 2 hours on it total.  He also had another Jackson he played for everyday use.  I know the price is high for a used Jackson, but if you want a 1991 guitar with the sculpted neck joint, and custom paint, that looks exactly like the day it did hanging on the music store wall – this is it!  I have seen a couple of sunsets, but this is the one that Jackson had pictured in their brochure.  This is THE one.  Why am I selling?   I don’t know.  It was either this one or the custom painted “Skulls” Jackson, I don’t really need both.  I guess I have had so many great guitars over the last 2 or 3 years and I don’t have any time to play them much (2 kids now) I feel that it’s time for someone else to have a chance to enjoy this one.  What a beauty!  J

 

 

(SOLD) Jackson Soloist 1991 Professional  color is deep blue/purple, neck-thru, active Jackson pickups with mid boost pre-amp, sharkfin inlays, bound ebony fretboard, Jackson licensed Floyd, Steven’s cut neck joint allows for easy access for reaching all 24 frets, awesome!   M.I.J., excellent condition, great value $675 SOLOIST PICTURE1 (MVC-840X.JPG) SOLOIST PICTURE2 (MVC-841X.JPG)  Note: if you know this year/model Jackson you’ll know that the Pro’s were made and played exactly the same as the USA’s.  They used all the same wood, pickups, everything, even the specs where the same.  As a matter of fact, Jackson stopped making the Pro’s after a few years because they were taking away sales from their USA line.  Today Jackson has a “Performer” line which is not even close to the top quality USA or Pro guitars from the 90-91 era.  If you’re looking for a high quality guitar, this is by far one of the best values out there.

Kramer

Kramer Pacer 1980’s (circa 1984) – I have two Kramer pacers.  A black one and a white one.  I have had the white one for a long, long time.  The black one I bought as a backup.  I don’t really need two of the exact same guitars.  I am attached to the white one because I’ve had it so long.  Both guitars are some of the best playing guitars of all time (esp. if you like EVH), I plug into my 5150 amp or my Marshall 6100LM ½ Stack – and FA’GETABOWDIT!!  I good to go for the next hour or two… or at least until dinner J.  Now the black one is for sale!!.  Except for a 1990-91 Jackson Soloist Pro (which is made in Japan), this is probably one of THE best deals on a professional rock guitar (originally sold for over $1,000.00) and these Kramer’s were made in the USA – buy it now for the extremely low price of  $450.00 !!! including original case.  Kramer Pacer in my collection   Kramer Pacer Body close up

AMPS:

 

Dean Markley CD-60 watt tube amp.  Hard to find these amps now, in the 80’s they were played by Alex Lifeson of Rush.  This combo amp sounds great, but it’s in cosmetically rough condition.  If this one sells, I’ll probably spend a lot more money and get another just like it except mint condition and with reverb built in.  However, The sound of this amp is First Rate! Very Easy to carry to practice and will cut through a loud drummer and another guitarist cranking up a Marshall halfstack – no problem.  Need a good amp that isn't as big as a Marshall stack? This is it!! This is a blues amp, baby! This thing rocks!  $199.00 (e-mail me for pix) Footswitch not included. 

A “Perfect 10” on Harmony-Central’s user reviews: http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data/Dean_Markley/CD_60-01.html

 

I now have another Dean Markley CD-60 (same as above) but in very good condition with reverb and footswitch.  $299.95

I love these amps!
