On February 16, 2021 /

Here’s an unusual instrument for the Goth bluegrass enthusiast – a Deering Goodtime Blackgrass 5-String banjo, in black with chromed tension hooks! Introduced in early Spring 2019, the Deering Goodtime Blackgrass is based closely on the Goodtime resonator models. The construction is all Maple, sourced in North America. The fingerboard is black-stained Maple and the rest of the instrument has a satin Black finish. These instruments are built in the USA, in the same Spring Valley are of San Diego where top-end Deering banjos are made.

Fender P Bass Rosewood Board Sunburst 1963

On February 11, 2021 /

Here we have a beautiful Fender P Bass, Rosewood fingerboard model dating to 1963 or late 1962, showing a lot of honest play wear from years of use in Toronto jazz clubs. Leo Fender started shipping the ground-breaking Precision Bass in October of 1951. In 1954, it gained the new ‘Stratocaster’ style body contours. In 1957 the new two-coil hum-cancelling pickup and larger headstock and this is the form that has continued to present time. In mid 1959 Fender, seeking more market share in the Jazz crowd, added a Rosewood fingerboard to the Precision bass to match the 1958 Jazzmaster.

Collings City Limits Deluxe Sunburst, 2007

On February 5, 2021 /

The Collings City Limits Deluxe, part of the CL line, draws from the proven combination of a Maple cap on a Mahogany body, providing warmth, clarity and sustain. This Collings City Limits Deluxe was first shipped and sold in March of 2008, and as Collings assigns serial numbers at start of production – which can take three to six months per instrument – this guitar would have been started in late 2007. It’s in very good clean condition with minor wear.

Gretsch Sparkle Jet G6129T with Bigsby Silver Sparkle, 2007

On February 5, 2021 /

Guitar makers and players sometimes don’t want to go for an understated approach, and the Gretsch Sparkle Jet G6129T is a case in point. Featuring a wildly metallic sparkle layer on top of chambered, single cut Mahogany body with Maple laminate top, the Sparkle Jet is anything but subtle. The Gretsch Jet models were introduced in 1955 as a response to the Gibson Les Paul. At the time, Gretsch was resistant to solidbody designs and so the Jet is heavily chambered. The Mahogany back has spaces routed into it, and a Maple laminate top is applied.
