1970's Greco EGC 68-50 Fujigen Japan vintage LP Style Cherry Sunburst

1970's Greco EGC 68-50 Fujigen Japan vintage LP Style Cherry Sunburst

Guitar has obvious and noticeable damage. The frets may need some work in the future but as is the guitar plays and sounds good. Inlays are mother of pearl, ebony fretboard. The Embossed greco pickups sound otherwordly. Some minor fret buzz here and there but for a 70s guitar It plays well. Additionally there is some binding missing and has a serious dent on the neck. Cool guitar with lots of swag. Feel free to ask any questions!

1970s Gibson L-5 CES Vintage Archtop Electric Guitar Blonde with T Tops, Case

Up for sale, a late 1970s Gibson L-5 CES vintage archtop electric guitar in excellent condition and in perfect working order, featuring its original Blonde gloss nitro lacquer finish and pair of patent number T-Top humbuckers. Upon its introduction in 1951 as the electrified version of Gibson’s L-5C, the “CES” L-5 has been the gold standard for Gibson archtops, with solid carved tone woods used throughout. Boasting a full 17 lower bout with a carved, tight-grain premium spruce top and maple back and sides, the size of this archtop yields rich textured tones with a distinct woody quality and complex midrange character. Naturally, the solid ebony bridge and fretboard impart a glassy note attack and superior articulation integral in round, present tonalities in every register and the kind of note separation essential to complex Jazz chord voicings. The five-ply neck features three broad pieces of highly figured flame maple and two slender strips of walnut, with a very slender C-shaped profile carve at the nut, and quite a bit of taper and increase in shoulder up the board, measuring. 770 deep at the 1st fret and graduating to. 915 at the 9th, where the profile begins to transition into the heel. The ebony fretboard features multi-ply binding and pearl block inlay, and the guitar has been partially refretted with medium jumbo wire from frets 1-13. The original frets are present from fret 14 on up, and the new fretwire is only fractionally wider than the original frets in the higher registers. The guitar plays effortlessly up the 25 1/2 scale with zero fretwear. The nut has been upgraded to a hand-carved piece of bone measuring 1 5/8 in width, and the guitar retains its original compliment of Kluson Sealfast gold-plated tuners. The torch headstock inlay and “Custom L-5″ truss rod cover is also present. The guitar does exhibit the usual U-shaped headstock repair, and a rosewood veneer has been added to the back of the headstock, along with two pieces of maple cleanly grafted in behind fret 1 on the outer thirds of the five-ply neck. The repair is perfectly smooth to the touch, with targeted gloss nitro lacquer overspray. All of the original electronics function as intended, with untouched solder on the gold covers and patent number baseplates on the T Top humbuckers. The ebony bridge is a modern replacement, and the hardware includes the original quartet of black witch hat knobs with gold caps as well as the original etched gold-plated tailpiece which only shows light surface patina at the hinge. The pickguard is completely intact, remarkable for the propensity for these guards to offgas and disintegrate over time. This guard is completely intact, with great transparency, multi-ply binding, and only a bit of spidering in the tort. Visible through the F hole, this L-5 retains the original Norlin-era Union Made label. The original high gloss Natural nitro lacquer finish exhibits some scattered minor nicks and scuffs on the body as a whole, yet nothing particularly notable. The neck profile features highly figured broad dimensional tiger flame, and the lacquer on the profile shows a few minor, shallow marks, not distracting to the palm while fretting. This Gibson L-5 CES is everything that an L-5 purports to be, with impressive nuanced tones both acoustically and plugged in. A 1990’s Gibson USA brown tolex hardshell case is included.

1970's Diamond Japan Beat Master Les Paul Junior DC MIJ (TV Yellow)

1970's Diamond Japan Beat Master Les Paul Junior DC MIJ (TV Yellow)

1970’s Diamond Japan Beat Master Les Paul JR DC. There’s not a bunch of info out there on these, but they fit the mould of every other outstanding Gibson style guitar being made in Japan in the 70’s! I believe it’s a mahogany body and neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Finished in a beautiful TV Yellow just like a Les Paul Jr should be! Japanese Gibson-style guitars (like this one) are a great alternative to a modern Gibson/Epiphone. With the hit and miss quality of modern Gibson guitars, a Japanese guitar from the 70’s or 80’s can prove to be a higher quality instrument that’s been played in nicely. Many of these guitars will also cost you a fraction of what a new Gibson will and are also more affordable than a new Epiphone! Want to give it a play? Good overall condition, signs of use as pictured. Neck is straight and frets are nice and high. Electronics work well and are all original. We offer a courier service Australia wide on our guitars! All prices include secure and sturdy packaging to ensure your guitar arrives safely. All guitars are thoroughly tested here and we’ll do our best to list any known troubles in the condition section above.
