PreCBS Princeton

If you have gone through the Marshall Class Vs and Fender Blues Jrs, do yourself a favor and check out some flavor.   


While we are admiring the beauty of simplicity, I have a query.   This amp has 1960 pots, transformer, and speaker.....guess it was built with old inventory parts??? 


The plastic coated transformer leads are a mystery as well.  Regardless of all the details ---- this little amp rocks!!!  

All you need here is three chords and good quality cable.  

Btw - there's piles of stuff like this in my store.......if anyone's interested in non-GC items --- thanks for reading my blog, Goe

Hofner 12 string 'lectric



Weather checking, moved strap buttons, and a joy to tune.  Get by the quirks and this is a truly unique factory made electric acoustic 12 string.  Check out how that pickup mounts - maybe it was mounted before they started gluing pieces together?

Harmony Fender

What? Harmony made Fender from 1970.  Maybe sovereign?  Chunky neck and no pickup......the way an acoustic should.....well, I don't want to set off a debate about acoustic pickups - or lack of.

Time capsule SG Pro

Some guitars are well played, some are hardly played. This one looks like we cracked open a time capsule from the early 70s and.........

The strings have been changed.  I'm sure the keen eyes of our followers will notice any non-original parts --- maybe the switch tip?  Dig the Gibson branded bigsby....

Another one from Semie

Some of you have heard me ramble on about how "when I was younger all I wanted was a Mosrite Ventures".  Well, finding a blue one would have been as good as it gets......

This one came to the shop from a fella who bought it the day he graduated high school.....in 1974.  After owning it for almost 40 years it was tough for him to let it go.

1964 Supro ---- fresh out of the closet

Even after hunting for old guitars for the last 20+ years, I still get excited to find an unmolested (love that term) example that was put away years ago.  This one has been played a bit. It's still very original with all it's parts and case.  Strings are new, of course -_-
