Taylor 210e-SB DLX

Very cool to have this Taylor model arrive at the same time as the 214ce-K SB below. The 210e-SB DLX is a full size dreadnaught guitar with plenty of volume and projection, but it still maintains that sweeter cut-through-the-mix tone that Taylor is famous for. And the "DLX" means you get all the extra features mentioned below.

Easy playing neck with the satin finish and slimmer 1-11/16 inch nut width. A nice looker as well with the glossy tobacco sunburst Sitka spruce top and layered rosewood back and sides. Fresh setup for lights, in excellent/near mint condition.

Not all 200-Series Taylors come with a hardshell case, but this one has the deluxe brown hardshell case included. Priced to move at $949.00.

The specs:

• Dreadnaught body shape
• Solid Sitka spruce top in Tobacco Sunburst finish
• Laminate rosewood back and sides
• White binding
• Gloss body
• Tortoise pickguard
• Three ring rosette

Fender American Standard Stratocaster

Another very clean Strat has arrived to the Attic! The American Standard Stratocaster has long been a Fender mainstay. American-made with quality parts, a great feel, and that sweet expressive sound, the American Strat is a versatile workhorse.

This guitar, along with the 1981 Martin D-28 we recently sold, was from the same owner who kept both in simply amazing condition - especially for a gloss black finish guitar, which typically shows wear and marks. This one is in excellent-plus shape.

If the D-28 is a bit of a stretch on the wallet and you want a tad more versatility with the cutaway and pickup, consider this near mint condition DCPA4 Rosewood that just arrived to the Attic. Built in 2012 in the Nazareth factory out of proven tone woods, it won't disappoint in sound.

The Performing Artist neck shape has a nice slimmer feel to it. Nice to have the access up the neck if you need it, these guitars were designed with the performer in mind for sure.

Gibson SG Modern

Sometimes a customer buys a new instrument, then realizes shortly afterwards that it wasn't what they were looking for. Here's an example and a great opportunity to get a brand new, harder-to-find Gibson model. The SG Modern is certainly a head-turner featuring its AA figured maple top in the Blueberry Fade finish. The ebony fingerboard is a nice extra feature making for even smoother playing than the legendary SG already is.

Because of the wood scheme on this guitar, the tone is a bit brighter than a standard mahogany model. Plenty of volume with the dual Burstbucker Pro humbuckers, they both can be coil-tapped with the push/pull volume knobs for an even brighter and more snappy sound. This would be a great choice for a lead guitar player in a band, easy and quick access up to the 24th fret. Barely a mark on it, in excellent/near mint condition. $1,799.00 in the Gibson case with all original paperwork and case goodies included.

Vintage 1965 Fender Jazzmaster

A vintage beauty has found it's way into the Attic! This particular Jazzmaster has a lot going for it. Only for a short time period starting in 1965 and ending in 1966 did the Jazzmaster feature the bound fingerboard with dot inlays. Block inlays were soon to follow. Although Fender was sold to CBS in January of 1965, it's well documented that no significant changes took place for a while. The body has been refinished in Burgundy Mist Metallic over the original sunburst. The finish has darkened and aged very nicely over the years. Even with the refin, this is still a very hard and desirable color to find on a vintage example.

How does it play and sound...like a dream! The guitar was well played and well loved. The maple neck has that smooth, broken in feel that no new 'relic' neck can possibly duplicate. The soapbar pickups and electronics have seasoned beautifully and truly sound great! The rhythm circuit is nice to jam your warmer/jazzier chords on, and it's surf's up! with the brighter lead circuit. Although Fender designed this guitar with jazz players sitting down in mind, over the years it's been embraced by surf and alternative/rock musicians alike. Besides the refin it's in overall very good original condition. Price reduced to $3,999.00 in a new deluxe gig bag.

The specs:

• Neck date 4Nov65B
• Serial number L97786
• Volume and tone pot 19th and 21st week of 1964
• Older refinish Burgundy Mist Metallic body over Sunburst
• Asymmetrical alder body
• Maple neck
• Fender transitional headstock logo
• Bound Brazilian rosewood fretboard with dot inlays
• 21 frets
• 25-1/2 inch scale
• 7.25 inch radius
• 1-5/8 inch nut width
• Tortoise pickguard
• Lead and Rhythm circuits
• Rhythm circuit volume and tone wheel controls
• Lead circuit Volume and tone knob controls
• 3-way selector switch
• Fender soapbar single coil pickups
• Tremolo lock bridge with long whammy bar
• Kluson tuners
• Original hardcase and bridge cover not included
• Very good condition
• New deluxe gig bag included

Larrivee P-09 FM

Small, super-sweet, and comfortable. Our latest Larrivee arrival is this made in 2004 P-09 FM. The 'FM' stands for figured maple back and sides. Larrivee certainly picked a gorgeous set of wood for this guitar, looks awesome with the maple binding as well. This instrument was extremely well-cared for by it's original owner. Barely a mark on it, it setup beautifully for lights. Nice low action and a sound that is far warmer and punchier than one would expect from the smaller size body.

The fiberglass insulation was upgraded to a modern polyester fill, the gasket was replaced and improved, and the latches are genuine replacements as well.

Now that the tone woods are well-seasoned and broken in, it projects beautifully. Anyone in the market for a vintage Spanish-made classical, come check it out! Asking $5,499.00 in original case.

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
• Layered mahogany back and sides
• Open-pore (satin) finish
• Indian rosewood fingerboard
• Binding around top
• Gig bag included

Twang away with the two single coils, slimmer neck profile on this one. All original $699.00 including a hardshell case.

Michael Kelly ST-AB4 'NA'

We've had a few Michael Kelly used instruments come through the Attic, here we have an excellent condition steel string acoustic bass. It's nice to have the option to be heard unplugged if you're just sitting around jamming or songwriting. The Fishman Classic 4 pickup system is now out of production but it does the job well with plenty of E.Q. tweaking if need be. With the cost and size of an upright bass, give this affordable more manageable ST-AB4 some thought. Offered at $399.00 in a hardshell case.
