Pre-owned Taylor 615 Jumbo
Are you looking for a Taylor with tons of solid tone? Taylor guitars have a well-earned reputation for playability, but new ones tend to be a little bright. This 615, built in 1992, has the tone you're looking for. Its Jumbo size solid maple body and a well-aged Sitka spruce top mean you get both tons of tone and characteristic Taylor clarity. More >>>
Vintage 1965 Fender Jazzmaster
Here's a true vintage beauty: A Fender Jazzmaster from 1965. Originally designed for jazz players, its sound also developed a following among surf and alternative/rock players.

Impressive Mid-Price Electrics
If you play electric, you should know about G&L - the guitar company Leo Fender founded after he famously sold his original business to the suits at CBS back in the 1960s. Leo is gone, but G&L still makes world-class guitars using his designs.
They call their mid-price line "Tribute". Made in Indonesia, these guitars are built with US-made pickups and hardware and are carefully set up in G&L's California workshop - an impressive commitment to quality in this competitive price range.
We currently have these three Tribute ASATs in stock. ('ASAT' was Leo's new name for his Telecaster design.) They are all in the $500 range, including nice padded gig bags. Choose your color!
But wait, there's more... Check out the specs on all our in-stock G&L Tribute guitars and basses here >>>
