Old Kraftsman Barney Kessel Triple in Cinicinatti (Northern KY) for $350

I just highlighted a Blonde Maple versions of this same guitar that was $500 and now here is a RED one with a Bigsby for only $350 - Cripes!  These are so cool looking and not a very common guitar.  The Old Kraftsman (i.e. Spiegel Catalog) logo reduces the collector factor a smudge but these are more "fetish" guitars than serious collectibles anyway.  The playability of these is a bit suspect - I wouldn't attempt to do a whole set with one unless you are a setup wizard - but they are soo cool to have on the stand behind you and to use for one or two songs in a set (just like having a real Dano or vintage Silvertone back there).  the Kleenex box pickups make this more desireable than one with speedbump pickups (at least IMHO).  

Oh and look... it's red!

Vintage Old Kaftsman semi-hollow body guitar; double cut-away, triple pick-ups and a flaming red finish. I bought this guitar in a pawn shop in the early 80's because it looks so friggin' cool, although I never really played it that much. I have no idea how old it is and I've never seen another like it. It is similar to a Kay Speed Demon (circa1964) but with different pick-ups, headstock and a Bigsby-style tremelo.

The body is in good shape with a few of the usual minor dings...the only decent scratch is on the back and less than 3/4" (looks white in the photo). All the pick-ups work and the action is totally playable, although the neck and intonation need a little adjusting.

1976 Seville (Hondo) L5 Jazzbox in LAs Vegas for $120

This Seville looks just like the Hondo II L5-CES jazz box from the late-70's and early 80's so those should be DiMarzio pickups (which came stock on the Hondo).  Few and far between Japanese made top fof the line Jazzbox of that era - note - these are big heavy guitars with serious woody Jazz tone.  Quite the deal.

Airline 62-9013 15 watt tube combo amp in Detroit for $250

Regular readers of my blog know how I feel about this particular amp.  IMO if you had to choose only one non Fender-Marshall-Vox amp from the 1960's then it would be this Airline amp or it's similar Danelectro built cousin the Silvertone 1482.  These amps growl and crunch at fairly low volume and are great for recording.  Most players are amazed when they plug in and hit a chord - even without an overdrive in front.

BTW - it is hard to tell from the photo but it appears this one may have the original Jensen P12Q speaker.

Airline (Kay) Barney Kessel electric in Cincinatti for $500

Not an amazing deal but a nice looking guitar for a decent price.  The Barney Kessel is the most collectible of the Kay's but this is the later 1960's version - not the earlier single cut Kelvinator model - though it does have the Kleenex Box pickups.  The pickguard is missing but that just shows off the nice blonde figured mpale top.  These are not stellar players but they are nice playable vintage USA guitars and continue to go up in value over time.

Kay Semi-hollow project guitar in NJ for $75

This speed Demon single is only missing a pickup and pots and an output jack.  These are completely hollow guitars so it wouldn't be too hard to work on if you have some dexterity and patience.  I rewound two pickups and remounted them myself in a similar speed demon TRIPLE - and that one had 6 control pots and 3 pickups - cripes now that was a pain in the a**.  This one is a much more simple project.

If I had this guitar neck and body I would personally find a decent (old or new) single P90 pickup with a volume and tone pot and top mount it on this bad boy.  That would make this very similar to a 1960's Gibson ES-125TC which is one of my favorite old vintage hollow bodies.  Serious blues crunch and mojo.

For sale I have a Kay "I think the model is called the Speed Demon" hollow body guitar. Pretty rare guitar - does not have half the bridge or any electronics - this model complete sells between $325 and $500 on ebay. Comes with what is in the picture "besides the carpet haha". Has the original tuners on it and they seem to work fine. I believe the wood is mahogany with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard. Dark tobacco sunburst color - worn with some finish cracks "has the cool old finish that cracks - not modern polyester". I think it is from the 50's but it could be 60's.

ELK vintage tube head and cabinet in Orlando FL for $275

These ELK's are high quality vintage Fender copies made in Japan in the 1950's and 1960's.  They have a dogged following and usually the ones that have survived this long are serious keepers.   These used better components and overall construction than most of the Japanese amps of the period - they were made to be used by pro players in Japan but they occasionally also found their way to Europe and the USA. 

This one looks like a Fender Bassman copy though I suppose it could be a Showman circuit as well.  It just might have that "blow your mind" type tone as quite a few of these old ELK's have been described.

Note: I wouldn't count on this seller being open to the idea of shipping this amp anywhere (what would you expect?) so I am sure this will go to some lucky local Olando FL area buyer.

Kay Vanguard in Portland OR for $100

I just posted one of these about a week ago that was a good deal for $200 - well here is a black one that is even cheaper in Portland.  Only $100 bucks!   That output jack is a little ugly but I am sure you could manage a better fix for very little money.   These fly way below the radar but you still see dealers selling the original ones in excellent shape for a small mint.  I've seen these at GC Vintage for $1K+ recently.

I've never actually seen one of these in black so this could be a refin - or maybe just a less common color.
BTW those Kluson Tombstone tuners are not the originals for this guitar but I am sure they work just fine.

Let me preface this by saying I am not any kind of expert on Lap Steels (actually I am not even an expert on electric guitars in general) but I do know that the Emmons (aka Buddy Emmons) brand steels are well-known as good steel guitars (along with Sho-Bud).  This one looks like a junior model since it only has 3 pedals and I don't think it has any knee levers (I really can't tell from the pics).  But the mid 1960's models of steels are very much in demand so this may be a good deal if you know them better than me.  Good luck.

Marshall JCM2000 TSL Half Stack in Cleveland for $700

You won't see me highlighting Marshall Stacks too often on this blog (just not my cup of tea) however, this one is a good deal and, of course, Cleveland Rocks! 

There is a ton of info online about the TSL and this is the 100 watt version it is a monster.  These retailed in the $2K range new and I don't believe Marshall is making them anyomre - this was sort of their flagship model about 5 or 6 years ago. To put this deal in perspective as far as the cost-value, back in 1980 when I graduated from High School the average used Marshall Head and 4x12 cabinet generally cost about $700 and that was the old JCM800.  Of course this is not a Marshall 4x12 - it is a Peavey cabinet - but those Celestian GH12-80's should be a a good match for this head.

Holiday (Harmony) Stratotone in Seattle WA area for $250

This is a nice looking Holiday branded Stratatone made by Harmony circa 1962-63.  These single pickup versions are less in demand because they don'[t resemble a Les Paul but I can attest that the pickup output and placement on these is just about perfect for slide - and the chambered body gives ist a nice twangy resonance - these sound great into a overdriven low wattage tbe amp - but you probably don't want to put a high gain pedal in front - the pickups are full range - that's what makes them sound so great for slide. 

Holiday was a catalog brand harmony made for a now defunct retail sotore - just like Airline was for Montgomery Wards and Silvertone was for Sears.

Vintage 1960's Newcomb 335 style semi-hollow electric in WA for $400

This Newcomb brand guitar looks very similar to a Harmony H-74 or maybe a Meteor. I seriously doubt Newcomb was building these on their own - most probably a Harmony product.  Newcomb was a succcessful tube amp manufacturer (similar to Webcor, Masco, Bogen, Eico, etc. ).   Those should be DeArmond pickups though it is very hard to tell form the picture.  There is a small chance this could be a product of Japan - since other companies like National had already shifted to Japanese Production by the late 60's.   The block inlays on the fretboard indicate this would have been a fairly high end guitar at the time. The Bigsby is a nice plus for sure.

Yamaha SBG2000 in Jacksonville (Jax Bch?) FL for $450

These SBG2000 models have a rabid following and some consider the early 80's models to be as good or better than the Gibson Les Paul's of the same period.  It's hard to say for sure but these were some of Yamaha's top of the line guitars in the early 80's.  I am not sure when they switched from calling them SG's to SBG's (maybe only for export to the USA)  This is very similar to the guitar that Carlos Santana used to play before he switched to PRS - I think his was a Yamaha SG1500 or something like that.

Anyway I've heard of these guitars selling for well over $1K so this one in FL is certainly a good deal. 

The seller seems to be a bit confused - there is no Kahler tremolo in the picture - so be alert that there could be some funny business going on here - I would want to speak wwith the seller directly.

It has a three way switch, and the tone knobs tap up to split the coils on the pickups. This guitar is finished in gloss black, with black pickups, and all the metal is gold finish. I would say it has more of a Gibson type neck, but Yamaha has figured out a way to make it really slick, with fat frets, and a perfect feel, the action is incredible.
