Pro '59 Strat Reproduction Built up by Phil with various cool parts, neck is Fender U.S.A. Ltd. Edition 1959 bigger "C" shape with rolled edges, stock medium jumbo frets with 10"radius, body is one I stashed for me, a very old feather-lightweight alder body with maxo-tone... Has an old worn checked tan color (like the earliest MusicMasters /DuoSonics) - looks like one of David Gilmour's old Strats. The pickups are a set of Custom Shop version (don't know which, but saved this set for me because they are exceptional) - all five switch positions sound wonderful. Has an aged Bill Nash neckplate with "opposite stamped" serial number (like some '59s got), strap buttons are off of a 1950 Broadcaster I had 40 years ago, bridge assembly is a U.S.A. Custom Shop with the good-sounding block. This is as good as I can find and put together, I just don't use it any more... the only "issue" is it had a rout for a humbucker in the bridge position... I didn't care, it's an old beat-up very cool body that sounds great. Sell with hard case for...

BILL NASH GUITARS
We are the original dealer for luthier Bill Nash’s Relic Series guitar - they are by far, in our opinion, the best quality for the price - they really have the look, feel, sound, and vibe of an old guitar. These are not Fenders and Nash has no affiliation with them—he gets Fender-licensed necks and bodies and does his own version of the “Relics”. To custom-order a guitar with specific pickups, necks, etc., you need to order directly from Bill - he builds guitars on a regular basis, to sell through our shop for customers who don't want the 6 - 8 month wait from Bill - and the ones we're selling already have what many want.

Gretsch 6121 Roundup Solid body electric with hollow chambers in the body, the most extremely lightweight example we've ever seen - I mean feather-weight - most of these weigh nine to nine and a half pounds, this one is only six pounds! And that's with a one pound Bigsby on it. Has all the cool features, engraved "western" fretboard inlays, G brand. Most have skinny flat necks - this is a beefy C-shaped neck, Dynasonic pickups, has a beautiful aged transparent orange color - looks real old. Very stock and clean except for a few buckle marks on the back of the body. Expensive new retail for this - right around $3,000, sell with original hardshell case for...
