The Duo-Jet stands as one of Gretsch's most iconic guitars and certainly its most iconic solidbody. This chambered solidbody is most closely associated with George Harrison who played one in the early Beatles era and throughout his whole career. While not as collectable as their Gibson or Fender counterparts, vintage Duo-Jets are amongst the most prized Gretsch solidbody guitars.

This is an all original Duo-Jet built in 1958. It's had some major body repairs on the neck near the headstock and on the back near the cavity. The guitar was cracked and professionally repaired. This guitar plays and sounds beautifully.
The Harmony Stratotone H44 is a real product of the American 1950’s aesthetic, with its metallic finish, ‘Stratotone’ name and atomic themed graphic on the headstock. It is built as a ‘neck through’ model, likely of poplar, with extra wood added to create the body shape. There is one pickup, in what is known as the ‘Hershey Bar’ design, with a plain cover and two rivets. For controls, there is a single volume and tone control, and a slider switch that slightly alters the brightness. The fingerboard and floating bridge are rosewood.
This is a VINTAGE guitar from 1955 being sold in 'All Original' condition.
Debuted at the 1967 Summer NAMM Show in Chicago, these unique guitars are not particularly in demand upon their release. The musicians at hand were not interested in playing a 2x4 shaped 12-String electric guitar. Maybe 1967 was their wrong time period to release this rare instrument. Yes, this is considered to be a rare find. Rare does not mean this guitar was a bad guitar or not made well, but mostly that there were not many of these fine instruments made. This is rare in that fact that there may only be a hand full of these instruments left, or maybe even just a hand full of these instruments ever produced.
The color is strikingly Candy Apple Red, and the vintage 2x4 shaped hardshell case only adds to the unique vibe of this rare 12-string electric guitar.
This is an excellent example of an early version of the La Baye 2x4 12-String.
Released as the result of a collaboration between Mosrite and surf-rock group The Ventures, the Mosrite Ventures electric guitar was a short-lived, funky child of the '60s. High-gain pickups and a super slim neck, as well as a unique tremolo system, characterize the Ventures, and although the Ventures was reborn in various forms throughout Mosrite's existence, the models from the 1960s are considered the most collectible.
This is a real deal 1959 Supro Rhythm Master in Sunburst finish. It's a rare model that was made in the original Chicago Valco factory. The guitar features two original patent number oversized single coil pickups, along with a piezo pickup. The little screws on the side are small pots, that you can adjust the volume & tone for each pickup.
Teisco was a Japanese budget brand that produced guitars starting in the late '40s. By the early '60s, Teisco guitars became increasingly unique with a number of original shapes and designs being produced. Those imported to the United States were branded as Teisco Del Rey starting in 1965. Collector interest in Teisco and other budget import brands has increased in the past several years. Teiscos are notoriously difficult to date and identify as no comprehensive records were kept during production. The ET-200 was a two pick-up version of an earlier design.
Years of Production: 1960s
Design Elements: Two single-coil pickups, floral pickguard, dot inlays
