On January 19, 2018 /

Here we’re looking at a Fender American Deluxe Telecaster from the 2005 model year, featuring a lovely slightly metallic Tangerine finish on an Alder body, maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard sporting Abalone position markers. A pearlescent pickguard sets off the finish very nicely. As a bonus, the back has a Strat-style comfort contour.

Steinberger XL2 Headless Fretted Bass, 1984 (REDUCED)

On January 13, 2018 /

Here we have a Steinberger XL2 Headless Fretted Bass, dating to 1984 and built at the Steinberger shop in Newburgh, New York. It uses the unmistakable headless design based on the L2 and is made of graphite reinforced epoxy with some plastic components (the top). The pickups are by EMG. It is in overall very good, original condition though – as is common with these instruments – the plug-in leg rest is missing. Fret wear is minor and it’s very comfortable to play, with a tight focused tone even acoustically.
Ned Steinberger came from a fine arts background, focusing on sculpture, to create highly influential instruments, particularly the headless guitar and bass.

Rickenbacker Electro Model NS Lap Steel, 1948

On January 13, 2018 /

The Rickenbacker lap steel was possibly the very first successful electric guitar put into larger scale production, but Rickenbacker’s influence goes back to the early National days. Adolph Rickenbacker – then spelled Richenbacher – had a tool and die shop near National, and was contracted to produce metal bodies and resonator cones for National guitars, ukuleles and mandolins.
