Fender Stage Lead II Solid State Combo in Hollywood for $100

I am not recommending we all rush out and buy Fender 1980's solid state amps. However, that said, this is a good deal on a big powerful and well reviewed SS Amp. The Stage Lead II's came out in 1985-86 and these are big heavy (80 lbs) LOUD stage performance amps with lots of tone options including a very nice Fender clean sound. I think these were made in Japan. They are basically like Solid State versions of a Fender Twin Reverb.

I believe these Lead II's put out over 100 watts so if you are looking for some serious high volume onstage sound reinforcement - or you want an amp to leave at the practice space or as a backup/2nd amp this is a good choice.

Real Spring Reverb too so this can be a good basic Surf amp.

1961 Epiphone Caballero Acoustic in Brunswick GA for $250

Very cool little Mahogany Epiphone acoustic - just like an LGO or LG1 - excellent fingerpicking and blues guitars.

I've never seen that type of headstock on a USA Epiphone - but this certainly looks like a USA guitar to me. Sounds like it has some minor issues - not perfect - but what a deal.

Up for sale is my vintage Epiphone FT-30 Caballero all mahogany acoustic guitar. This is the same guitar as the Gibson LG-0.

Has a rare 4 digit serial number (8510) and metal Epiphone headstock badge, which dates it to 1960-1961.
Plays well with a nice full sound for a small-bodied guitar, which is what these guitars are famous for.
All solid mahogany. Good action. No buzzing. Frets in good shape. Neck is straight. Good original tuners. Stays in tune nicely.
Comes with original chipboard case. Has plenty of checking in the finish, which is to be expected in a 50 year old instrument.
There are a few tight age cracks in the body, but they do not affect it's playability or structural integrity. Also, it does have one spot on
the back in the lower bout area that looks to be a stable old repair. I have had this guitar for over 5 years and it looks and plays just
as good (or better) now as when I first got it.

Right now these guitars are going for $350 to $850 on eBay.
I am offering mine for sale locally at a lower price just to avoid the hassle of packing and shipping and eBay fees. Price: $250.

2000 Gibson Les Paul Special in Jacksonville FL for $600

I have one of these gloss finish Les Paul Specials in Red - mine is a 1998 - and the 498T pickup in the bridge is the way to go IMO. Gives plenty of modern bite but nice and clean when you roll back the volume. I like the Special over the Studio any day of the week - easier to hold, wear and play - but still rocks the Casbah - but that's just my opinion.

Burns 1964 Split Sound Jazz in Kansas City KS for $650

Nice deal on a highly collectible guitar if you are into the Burns line. This is a real London Built Burns Factory Guitar - from the Ampeg distribution period (not Baldwin).

I am a big fan of the Burns guitars aesthetically though as players they have their fans and detractors. Don't ever expect to instantly love a vintage guitar until you've owned and played one for awhile - they all have individual quirks.

Lyle 5102T in Kansas City KS for $150

These guitars were very popular in the 1960's and appear under names like Ventura, Aria, Univox, Bruno and Lyle. They were all made at the same Matsumoku factory and they are all pretty much the same - the pickups usually being the main difference between brands (I personally like the Univox).

I always try to emphasize to newbies that these are really not ES-335 type guitars because they don't have a solid tone block down the center or a stop tailpiece. I also think that as a general rule the single coil Japanese pickups sound better than the humbuckers during this period.

This Lyle 5102T guitar is in decent shape for its age. Manufactured from approximately 1965-1972. Few scuffs and missing one tuner gear cover. Pickups a bit lose. Could use a little TLC and minor repair. 2 volume and 2 tone controls, 3 position toggle switch, adjustable bridge. This guitar has a bolt on neck, and a pretty robust construction. Lyle Model 5102T semi-hollow body electric guitar marketed and distributed by L.D. Heater (L stands for Lyle) manufactured by Matsumoku out of Japan. This guitar was styled somewhat after the Gibson 330, 335, 345, and 335 electric guitar series in the late 60's and 70's. The Norlin Corporation owned both L.D. Heater and Gibson back then.

Alamo Jet tube combo in San Diego for $100

This is the later hybrid version of the Alamo Jet. Note that it does not have the two 12AX7 tubes on the right side of the chassis. The preamp and Reverb are solid state and it has a 5y3 rectifier and a 6V6gt power tube. The Carvin Ceramic Speaker will make this more robust - if slightly less efficient than the Alnico's that came stock. $100 is a good price overall for this.

SOLD - Nice set neck Guyatone w/ 1964 DeArmonds in Long Beach CA for $300

SOLD - This guitar went very fast - Jim C

UPDATE: I found out this is a Guyatone LG60 - circa 1959. You can see pics of it's brother the Guyatone LG50 in the hand of Hank Marvin (Shadows) and Ringo Starr (apparently a drummer of some sort).

These have very fat necks (good for slide) and the original pickups were supposedly weird and a bit of a problem so this one would be a better more playable axe than when it was new. There is an LG60B on ebay right now for $1300 but I doubt that is a current fair market price. With the changed pickups this is less collectible but might be more desirable.

******************

This looks like a very cool guitar - especially for slide or retro blues etc. Looks to be all maple, maybe semi hollow/chambered or maybe solid. It is a set neck which is a big plus and those DeArmonds look like a perfect fit.

In my imagination this would sound just like a Harmony H44 or Kay Vanguard, bright and present with nice sustain. But of course you'd have to play it to find out. I love the 3 position switch - just like a 1950's Chicago built guitar.
