Rosewood

Fender Jazz Bass American Original 60s Olympic White 2017

On December 9, 2021 /

Here is a Fender Jazz Bass American Original 60’s in an Olympic White Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish like the 60’s originals, and in great shape. Fender introduced the Jazz Bass in 1960 as the ‘Deluxe’ but quickly changed the name to the ‘Jazz Bass’. The aim was to target a group who hadn’t fully moved away from acoustic instruments – jazz players, with a narrower neck and tighter, more focused pickup response.

Martin 000-42 Standard Series Steel String Guitar Natural

On November 26, 2021 /

This is a beautiful Martin 000-42 Standard Series, a spectacular sounding instrument with just the right amount of inlay. The 000 body size was introduced in 1902 with a 12-fret, 24.9 inch scale length neck and in 1934 gained the ‘new’ 14-fret neck. The OM or Orchestra Model is based on this guitar, but with a 14-fret, 25.4 inch scale length neck. The ’42’ in the name refers to the Style 42 materials and inlay set, introduced in 1858, and discontinued in 1943.

Gibson Les Paul TV Special, 1958

On November 23, 2021 /

The Gibson Les Paul TV Special was introduced in 1955 as a midway point between the also newly introduced Les Paul Junior and the Les Paul itself. Like the Junior, the Special used Honduran Mahogany for the body – no carved Maple cap like the Les Paul – and the neck, and Rosewood for the fingerboard. The Special, however, had two P-90 pickups and a bound fingerboard; at the time, ‘Rosewood’ meant Brazilian Rosewood.
