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 -_-

1971 Sho Bro Dobro 'ya know?

Square neck with a pickup and a bbq'd headstock......"after" pictures below 

Not sure what happened, this is how it came in. 

Made by Sho Bud, sold by Gretsch. Pickup is not factory, neither is the blue anti rattle pad ---

Gotta love an original case with all the candy.

If anyone has a Sho Bro headstock overlay laying around ---- send me a message.
