Fender Jazz Bass Black, 1973

On September 21, 2023 /

Introduced in 1960, the Fender Jazz Bass was intended to provide a more accurate simulation of an acoustic bass sound, aimed squarely at jazz players. Here we’re looking at a Fender Jazz Bass from 1973 in a black poly finish; prior to 1968, these basses received a nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

Ernie Ball Music Man Edward Van Halen Trans Purple, 1993

Available from 1991 to 1995, the Ernie Ball Music Man Edward Van Halen was designed and built to EVH’s requirements for recording and touring. After 1995, the model was renamed the Axis, with the construction remaining the same – a basswood body with a figured Maple top and a Maple neck with 10 inch radius and 22 frets.

Fender Telecaster Bass Blonde, 1972

On September 21, 2023 /

The Fender Telecaster Bass launched in the surprisingly late year of 1968, though its appearance is very much like the original, revolutionary 1951 Precision Bass. From a modern perspective, there isn’t a lot to the Fender Telecaster Bass. It is basically an ash or alder slab body with a one-piece maple neck bolted to it, a bridge, and from 1968 to 1972 a single coil pickup with volume and tone controls.

Collings MF F-Style Mandolin Dark Satin Burst 2016

On September 19, 2023 /

The Collings MF is a visually simplified yet extremely high quality instrument, based on the classic F style carved top and back mandolins from the early years of the Twentieth Century. Building in Austin, Texas, Collings produces very well built guitars and mandolins, and their nitrocellulose lacquer finish quality is second to none.

Gibson Les Paul Standard Iced Tea Burst, 2001

On September 16, 2023 /

Seen here is a very Gibson Les Paul Standard in Iced Tea Burst finish built during 2001 in Nashville, TN. While its top is somewhat plain, it has everything else that’s made the Les Paul an enduring classic. While the Les Paul was introduced in 1952, the Les Paul Standard named as such didn’t appear until 1958 after Gibson’s new Humbucking pickups were installed to 1957 models.

Gibson ES Les Paul Light Burst, 2014

On September 16, 2023 /

Coming from the now shuttered Memphis plant in 2014, the Gibson ES Les Paul combined classic Les Paul aesthetics with the immensely successful thinline ES concept. Along with the plant, this model has, as such, been discontinued by Gibson’s new management. The new ES-235 is perhaps its replacement in this class. Here we’re looking at a very, clean Gibson ES Les Paul sporting a Light Burst finish. There is very little wear of any type, to the frets, fingerboard, finish or plating.
