Deering Boston 6 BanjoIf you're a guitar player who's always wanted to play banjo but didn't want to learn a whole new instrument or tuning, this may be the banjo for you! This instrument is just darn convenient - you pick it up, tune E-E and play what you already know on the guitar. Of course the sound comes across as a banjo but having all six strings brings out the lower register as well.
This is a quality U.S. made instrument with quality components. Deering purposely kept the instrument lighter weight as well for those who play standing up for a long while. $1,699.00 with Deering hardshell case included. | |||||||

Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster NOSFreshly arriving is another fantastic Fender Custom Shop Strat. This model is the 1960 New Old Stock with a unique aged Sonic Blue finish over a very lightweight alder body. The aged Sonic Blue to the eye seemingly has a bit of Surf Green in it, a nice color not found too often. Overall in excellent original condition, there's a bit of finish swirling on the rear body contour but no dings or cracks. With the lightweight body, slab rosewood fingerboard, vintage size frets, and a great setup, this guitar feels and sounds awesome! We've had a number of quality 60's inspired Strats in over the years and this one really nails the vibe. Original brown U.S. hardshell case with case candy included. Offered at $3,399.00. | |||||||

Fender 50th Anniversary StratocasterHere's a nice opportunity to get a more collectible Strat at a good value. Made in 2004 to commemorate 50 years of the Strat, this guitar has a combination of vintage and modern features. The nice wide-grain ash body paired with the classic 2-tone sunburst finish looks fantastic. Another vintage feature is the 1-ply white pickguard and vintage-style tuners. Fender chose on this model to use their modern style bridge, pickups, wiring, switch, radius, etc. Plugged in the ash body really gives the overall sound a great cut-through-the-mix tone. In good condition, the nitro finish on the back contour of the guitar reacted to the weather at some point and had to be touched up. The front of the guitar is very clean, some honest play-wear in the finish but not much. Because of the finish issue, the guitar is priced under 1K. If you dig the look of a classic 50's Strat but want more of a modern player, this guitar could be for you. Fresh setup for .010's it feels great with nice action. Asking $999.00 with the Fender deluxe tweed hardshell case included. | |||||||

Fender Aerodyne Jazz BassThis Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass is very sleek. Crafted in Japan in 2004, it's definitely lighter than the typical J-Bass. The gloss black finish is bad-ass to behold, especially with the matching color headstock. Fender streamlined the look of this bass by omitting the fingerboard fret markers, only side dots. The Indian rosewood slab fretboard looks great paired with the black. Another great look is the smoked chrome hardware on the tuners, knobs, neck plate, and bridge. The front of the body and neck are very clean, a few belt marks in the finish on the back. Overall in excellent condition, asking $799.00 with hardshell case included. | |||||||

PRS S2 SC250We remember selling these S2 models for a while here at the store. It's a nice way to get a U.S. made PRS at a fraction of their CORE guitar prices. This SC250 features a gorgeous flamed maple top over mahogany in a dark cherry burst finish. This is a traditional winning wood scheme for a Les Paul style guitar. The neck feels great with it's medium carve and rounded heel to fit the hand nicely. The PRS humbuckers are warm and articulate and can be coil-tapped via the push/pull tone knobs. A guitar like this is approaching 2K now new, this one is in excellent clean condition. Offered at $1,099.00 in a deluxe PRS gig bag. | |||||||

Vintage 1980 Guild D-40 Bluegrass JubileeHere is another Rhode Island made vintage Guild classic: The D-40 Bluegrass Jubilee. One will guess they call it that because it's meant to be strummed hard amongst friends whilst belting out your favorite tunes with a pint nearby! The solid mahogany and Sitka spruce is a great proven wood combination. This particular guitar is a nice players-grade example. There are no structural issues or cracking, just some honest play and finish wear from years of enjoyment. The sound is very full and broken in with a nice strong bass response, this guitar is meant to be strummed aggressively. Recent bridge re-glue and fresh setup for lights by Steve Morrill guitar repair. If you're in the market for a nice vintage broken-in Dreadnaught with some rich New England history, this D-40 may be for you! Offered at $1,099.00 with original hardshell case included. | |||||||

G&L ASAT Special DeluxeAlong with our selection of new G&L instruments, we're always on the lookout for quality used G&L's as well. Just in we have an excellent condition and very attractive ASAT Special Deluxe. On this particular guitar the swamp ash body is paired with a highly figured flamed maple top which is accentuated wonderfully with the Cherryburst finish. The neck profile is a nice medium carve, not too thin or thick. The Jumbo M.F.D. single coils are very nice pickups, not too far from a P-90 with a bit less bark and a bit more sparkle. They sound really nice either clean or with some grit, and the volume control reacts super well in conjunction with the pickups. Overall in very clean excellent condition, Originally offered at $1,299.00, reduced to $1,199.00 with G&L hardshell case included. |

Ampeg R-212R ReverberocketThis mid-90's era Ampeg is truly a fantastic deal. It features 50 watts of tube power and very lush spring reverb through two 12 inch quality speakers. The classic look of the 60's inspired blue checkered tolex has always been unique. The bass knob is broken off but the control functions fine. It's nice for moving purposes that the previous owner installed the 4 wheels. In our opinion these amps are undervalued in the market which means a great deal for you. U.S. made, 50 watts tube power, spring reverb, two 12" speakers, great look, what's not to love for only $599.00?! | ||

Fender Deluxe Nashville TelecasterThis particular Tele model was one that we always stocked here when we were Fender dealers. It's a fantastic versatile offering, what sets it apart from most Tele guitars is the extra Strat-style middle pickup and the 5-way selector switch. Currently these models are using Vintage Noiseless pickups but in 2006 Fender was still using their Tex-Mex single coils. These pickups are known to have the clarity and snap of a single coil but with a bit more bite. Think of that Stevie-style Texas blues sound. The 3-tone sunburst with the tortoise pickguard and maple neck is a classic look. Fresh setup and some fret work just done. Overall in excellent condition, priced at $749.00 with a Fender hardshell case included. |

Epiphone Les Paul SpecialThe Gibson Les Paul Special has a loyal following all it's own. It has been offered over the years in either single or double cutaway body formats. Here we have a mid 90's Epiphone made by Samick in Korea double cutaway version in the attractive Cherry gloss finish. A solid guitar for sure with it's 1-3/4 inch thick mahogany body and set-in mahogany neck. The P-90 pickups really match this guitar well (like an SG) in that the mahogany brings out a wonderful bite and growl in the sound when paired together. A few key upgrades on the guitar makes sense: upgraded pots, selector switch tip, strap buttons, speed knobs. If you're in the market for a rockin' mahogany electric guitar, this is a fantastic deal! Asking $599.00 with deluxe Epiphone hardshell case included. | |||||||

||||||
Taylor 510Another nice example of a 90's era Taylor has found it's way into the Attic. The 510 model was long one of Taylor's best-sellers and their standard mahogany Dreadnaught. At that time they were built more 'traditionally', different than today's models. The one piece mahogany slim neck is comfortably worn in and feels great to play. The overall sound is nicely seasoned with every string articulate. The previous owner installed an active pickup so it's ready to roll in live scenarios. Overall in excellent cosmetic condition with minimal play wear. The very edge of the back of the bridge is lifting slightly but it has been stable for years and doesn't seem to be an issue. Come down and see why folks tend to love these older-built Taylor models. Asking $1,299.00 in the original Taylor deluxe brown hardshell case. | |||||||

Ibanez Artstar Semi-HollowbodyAn interesting older Ibanez Artstar model has just arrived. This instrument seems to date to the 90's, made in Korea. The bolt-on neck isn't as common for these style guitars but it's very stable and keeps the cost of the instrument down. This budget-friendly guitar has a wide nut width paired with a slim neck carve. The open humbuckers have a nice gritty tone to them. Overall in excellent clean condition, fresh setup for .010's. Asking $449.99 with a hardshell case included. | |||||||

Breedlove ABJ250/SM4 Acoustic BassBass players check out this very nice Breedlove ABJ250/SM4 acoustic bass!

Ovation 1124 ClassicalIn the market for a classical guitar you can plug-in at the gig? Consider this Ovation 1124, a budget-friendly durable guitar that can get the job done.

It's great to have the adjustable truss rod on a classical when you need to make adjustments. The medium size bowl is not cumbersome to play either sitting or standing.

Martin OMC-16REHere's another versatile instrument from Martin. This pre-owned 2003 OMC-16RE gives you a great opportunity to grab an excellent guitar for all styles of playing. With some years on it now it has warmed up nicely. There are a few dings but nothing major - overall it's in very good condition and just received a fresh setup for light gauge strings. We weren't familiar with the Schertler Bluestick pickup but we like it. It sounds incredibly warm plugged in, especially on the mids and trebles which a lot of pickups can lack. If you've checked the prices recently on new US-made gloss finish all solid rosewood/spruce Martins (with pickups!), you know they cost a pretty penny. Come check out this one quick before it's gone! $1,699.00 with Martin hardshell case included. | |||||||

Taylor 312ce V-ClassTaylor's Grand Concert size is one of their most comfortable guitars to play. With it's smaller body shape and short scale neck one should never have to over-reach. The wood combo of Sapele and Sitka spruce Taylor has been using for decades now on their 300 series guitars because it works. The gemstone fretboard inlays are a nice touch, the ES-2 pickup system will get the job done plugged-in with minimal controls on the side of the guitar.

Fishman Loudbox MiniThere are certain products in the store that truly sell themselves, and the Fishman Loudbox Mini is one of them. It's long been our best-selling acoustic amp, and for good reason... it's simply awesome! It packs 60 super-clean watts of power into a small, portable package. It's lightweight and affordable, but still doesn't sacrifice on tone. The Mini is ideal for acoustic instruments, but it's also used quite a bit for the vocal channel. This new and improved version now has a Bluetooth input channel for backing tracks or recorded music during your set breaks Another great feature is the balanced XLR DI output, which enables you to feed the house system in a larger venue while keeping the Mini as your an on-stage monitor.

Taylor 310Fresh to arrive in the Attic is a familiar Taylor model, the 310.

Vox AC15C1Just arriving to the Attic we have a classic Vox model, the AC15C1. Always a popular seller for it's power and size, it hits a lot of nice features. 15 watts tube power should be plenty of juice for most occasions. This is a good power rating for being either quiet, or cranking the amp up full. The spring reverb is lush, and the tremolo is nice when it's needed. The Celestion Greenback speaker is known to have a great bite and will break up well when cranked. In like new condition overall and a great value at $599.00! | ||

Fender American Deluxe StratocasterAs mentioned with the American Deluxe Tele, here is the other to arrive simultaneously: The American Deluxe Stratocaster, dating to 2006. This was a great era for Fender with good quality control. We sold many Fenders here at the store at that time. The ash body paired with the striking aged cherry burst finish is very pleasing to most. This was a top-of-the-line Fender model, right below their Custom Shop. The rounded neck heel is a great feature, fitting the hand wonderfully as you gain access up the neck. The SCN noiseless single coils replaced Fender's Vintage Noiseless set, they sound excellent with great clarity and best of all they're quiet at higher volumes! The S-1 switching on the volume knob is a cool feature that combines the neck and bridge pickups together for some interesting extra sounds.

The back braces were loose when it arrived but that was taken care of by master luthier Steve Morrill in Boxborough. After the repair and a fresh setup, Steve gives this guitar a clean bill of health.

Gibson Chet Atkins Country GentlemanChet Atkins is one of the all-time great guitar players and he didn't just put his name on any old guitar. This 1993 Country Gentleman is a fantastic instrument worthy of good playing hands. Everything about it makes it play like a dream starting from the raw materials up through the finest detail of the fancy Schaller tuners, to the pickups. The gold Bigsby is smooth as butter, the neck with it's 25-1/2 inch scale and 1-3/4 nut width plays differently than the typical Gibson short scale...really nice in the hand. It's a nice homage to Gretsch that Gibson kept the thumbnail style inlays and the volume and tone control layout. For how old this guitar is now it's in excellent condition with no major dings or issues, just very light finish play-wear. The gold hardware is especially in great shape, one can tell this guitar was never abused and well cared for. Fresh setup for D'addario EXL-115W .011-.049 with the wound 3rd.

The solid spruce and rosewood will get the player a nice balanced and projecting sound. Plugged-in is where this guitar gets really interesting. The CTP-2 Cooltube system Takamine uses features a vacuum tube that can be blended at different levels with the preamp to 'warm' up the sound. A built-in tuner, E.Q. sliders, and an auxiliary input make it a very versatile guitar amplified. Overall in excellent condition, Was asking $1,499.00, Now $1,299.00 in hardshell case. |

Vintage Yamaha FG-612S 12-stringFresh in is an exceptional vintage Yamaha FG-612S dating from the early to mid 1980's. We see a lot of Yamaha guitars come through here both old and new and we can tell you that this is one of the finest to come along in a while. It was stored properly by the previous owner and it really shows in the easy playing action and overall condition. This was a mid to higher end model of it's day, featuring some very nice appointments like the black/white/purpleheart purfling, rosette, and back stripe. The neck is a bit chunkier than it's modern version and fits in the hand beautifully when playing. The sound is fantastic, full, bright, and cut-through-the-mix.

Martin HD-28Made just last year, this is a great opportunity to grab a barely used HD-28. This particular guitar has excellent boom, warmth, and projection...can't imagine someone will be disappointed with it's sound. A couple of extra's the previous owner installed were the Waverly high-ratio open gear tuners for added tuning stability and a passive K&K Pure Mini pickup, one of our favorites here. Plugged-in this guitar sounds incredible as well. There's a reason the HD-28 is one of the flagship go-to Martin models and the price of a new one seems to be rising every year. Offered at $2,699.00, it's in excellent condition with Martin hardshell case included. | |||||||

2001 Gibson ES-335 CustomAn absolute stunner of a Gibson has found it's way into the Attic! Here from a good friend of the store, this guitar was custom ordered from Gibson in 2001. The figured maple with the wine red finish is just exquisite to behold. Gibson was known for having some excellent sets of maple around this time. The upgraded ebony fingerboard helps the guitar play ever-so-smoothly and actually does sound a bit different than a stock ES-335 with a rosewood fretboard. The gold hardware really matches well with the wine red finish, this guitar really 'pops.' The only small changes were graphite saddles added to the bridge and straploks. This guitar is in Near Mint condition, unbelievably clean for a 20 year old guitar. The '57 Classic humbuckers sound wonderful, there's a reason the ES-335 is respected the world over. An equivalent Custom Shop model of this caliber now would run well over 5K likely. If you're looking for a show-stopping ES-335, come check this beauty out! Offered at $3,750.00 in original Gibson Custom hardshell case. |

Martin DMThese earlier Road Series Martins from the 90's and 2000's are very lively and resonant guitars. Back then before their HPL guitars took over they used nice laminations, tight spruce tops, basic satin smooth finishes. It all boils down to a loud and projecting instrument that feels great to play. With minimal play wear it's in excellent condition for it's age. The top joint where the bookmatched spruce meets below the bridge has been repaired already and is stable. Because of this it's priced accordingly for a great deal. We keep saying it but don't wait long on used Martins, they go quick! Fresh setup for lights, $499.00 in hardshell case. | |||||||

Fender American Deluxe TelecasterTwo stunning and awesome used Fender American Deluxe guitars have just arrived in the Attic! This model, the American Deluxe Telecaster, we here are very familiar with. When we were Fender dealers, this exact guitar was one of our stocking best-sellers. Not hard to see why, just a beautiful aged cherry burst finish. And with the complementary white binding, the guitar really 'pops.' Not only is is gorgeous, this guitar was meant to have features any player can appreciate. Starting with the comfort, the rear contour sits very nicely against the body and gives the guitar some weight relief as well. The other really nice body feature is the rounded neck heel which fits the hand much better as you traverse up the neck than the std. clunky 4-bolt. This first generation of the SCN noiseless single coils replaced Fender's long-time Vintage Noiseless set. They have an amazing clarity while maintaining less noise at higher volume levels which is a huge plus. The S-1 switching on the volume knob gives a series/parallel option in the middle pickup position, basically giving you more output and volume if needed. This was a top-of-the-line guitar from Fender at the time, right below their Custom Shop. It's in near mint condition with the plastic and flag decal still on the pickguard! We promise this one will not last, if you're looking for a super-duper Tele...don't wait!!! Offered at $1,399.00 in original Fender case with case candy included. | |||||||

The neck also features a 7.25 vintage radius and vintage size frets. There are some very cool limited edition features on this guitar. And along with that the limited production numbers ensures that this is a solid investment that will keep increasing in value. We sold it back in 2013, and it has gone up in value quite a bit since then. The previous owner wanted to make it more playable so he changed out the vintage style 3-way switch with a 5-way. Also the single coils were changed out for a set of Fender Vintage Noiseless which keeps hum and noise down while plugged in. The original Fender '54 pickups are included. The original 1-ply white pickguards on these were prone to warping so he also replaced that with the same official Fender 1-ply white which isn't warped on the guitar. Original pickguard is also included. People often sell the two original cases for these separately to make money so it's nice when you find the guitar with both it's vintage style '54 brown poodle case and the black molded hardcase with 40th anniversary emblem. Original strap, whammy, and most of the original case candy are included as well. Overall a fantastic feeling, looking, and sounding reissue of the legendary 1954 Stratocaster! Asking $2,199.00 |

Martin 000-28VS Vintage SeriesA very hard-to-find Martin model has found it's way into the store. Martin's Vintage Series instruments are very well-regarded. This particular one dates to 2004 right before Martin made it's one millionth guitar. The 000-12 fret body shape pushes a lot of air and has incredible tone. With the also harder-to-find nut width of 1-13/16 inches, it lends itself beautifully to fingerstyle playing, every string is loud and articulate. However the larger body shape can handle strumming very well with a more than adequate bass response in the guitar. We can honestly say that this is one to not wait on, who knows when the next may show up? As always we work hard to price things fairly in the market to get these wonderful instruments in your hands. Overall in excellent condition, fresh setup for lights. Offered at $3,199.00 in the original deluxe Geib Martin hardshell case. Here is a recording of the guitar in finger-picking style: Here is a recording of the guitar in strumming style: |

Vintage 1975 Martin D-35Martin Dreadnaught players - Check out our latest find, a nice mid-70's example of the classic D-35. Overall in very good condition, it's had some necessary work done over the years to keep it in nice shape: Neck reset, and the pickguard was replaced with tortoise.
