Vintage 1979 Fender 25th Anniversary Stratocaster     SOLD

Here's an unusual opportunity to not only buy a very cool collectible vintage Strat, but also have 100% of your money go towards a great cause! A very generous local customer has donated this guitar for us to sell to help out the music program at the Lighthouse School in North Chelmsford, a non-profit school for kids with a wide range of disabilities. The school has found that making music not only lets students express their emotions in a constructive way, but is also a strong motivational influence.

The guitar world was never the same after Leo Fender unveiled the revolutionary Stratocaster guitar in 1954. During the 70's, after Leo Fender sold the business to CBS, the company got away from the original Strat design. But at the end of the 1970s they went back to featuring the 4-bolt neck plate and staggered pole pieces on the pickups.

New features of that era include the end of the bullet-style truss rod and Sperzel locking tuners. Unique to this Anniversary guitar are the Anniversary logo written on the upper horn and the 1954-1979 Anniversary neck plate.

These guitars are notorious for finish issues. The original pearl white models were recalled and repainted, and the silver finishes are known to react and go bad as well. This particular example is overall in excellent condition, especially when you consider it's 41 years old. It looks like it was played very rarely then stored away for a long while. Some very light marks in the front finish and a mark on the back, probably a finish reaction with a strap.

The case is not original but looks to be a nice vintage 80's Fender case. We found a receipt from E.U. Wurlitzer in Boston in the case so our guess is that it was bought used in the early to mid 80's. The original whammy and strap are included.

Own a historic Fender Strat and feel good about spending the money! Offered at $1,999.00 with a vintage (non-original) Fender hardshell case.

The specs:

• Made in U.S.A. in 1979, limited edition run
• Ash body in Porsche Silver/Anniversary Silver
• 'Anniversary' logo on upper horn
• 3-ply black pickguard
• 4-bolt neck
• Maple neck and fingerboard
• 21 frets
• Black dot inlays
• Larger headstock and logo
• 25th Anniversary neck plate
• 25.5 inch scale
• 1-5/8 inch nut width
• Medium C carve neck profile
• Fender Sperzel locking tuners
• Single coil pickups with staggered pole pieces
• 1 volume, 2 tone controls
• Black knobs
• 5-way selector switch
• Tremolo bridge with 6 individual saddles
• Vintage non-original Fender hardcase

Almansa 401-1/2 Half Size Classical

It can be difficult to find a good step-up classical guitar for the young player. Most small classical guitars in this country are starter instruments with laminated tops. The improving young classical player requires a guitar with a solid top for better tone and a higher level of workmanship for responsiveness.

The Almansa 401-1/2 is just such an instrument. Crafted in Spain with a solid red cedar top, this guitar has a short 544mm scale and slightly narrower 48mm nut width. That means it will fit the younger player comfortably but still deliver satisfying tone.

This guitar was originally purchased at The Minor Chord and has had one local owner. That player later graduated to an Almansa 'Senorita' (7/8 size) guitar and traded their 1/2 size model. It's in excellent condition. Offered at $399 with a padded gig bag.

The specs:

• Made in Spain
• 544mm (21.4 inch) scale
• 48mm (1.88 inch) nut width
• Solid red cedar top

• Indian rosewood fingerboard
• Binding around top
• Gig bag included

Martin GPCPA4 Shaded

The quality used gear just keeps on arriving lately to the store. This particular Martin GPCPA4 Shaded was sold here originally to one local owner. Well maintained and cared for it's in excellent condition. The Grand Performance shape is a good choice for both strumming and fingerstyle playing.
