There are instruments, and there are legendary instruments which have become mythical in proportion.The lot we present here represents the latter rather than the former, and this particular instrument is surely one of the most important offered in any venue in the world at any time. In 1969 the Beatles were at a crossroads. The band had enjoyed success far exceeding that of any band in history. The records, the concerts and the international notoriety had propelled the four lads into the spotlight and beyond, and, like all good things, the union was about to end. There was nothing more to achieve that hadn't already been achieved, and time had taken its toll on both the band's creativity and interpersonal relationships. Since the band had quit performing concerts, they decided on a last hurrah---the group would be filmed rehearsing, recording and jamming together for what would become the album titled "Let It Be" with a film released by the same name. The culmination would be the band doing a final live performance together in a location which turned out to be the rooftop of the legendary Apple headquarters in London. In the midst of recording and from "Let It Be" and The Apple Rooftop Performance!filming, George Harrison acquired a new instrument---a beautiful Fender Rosewood Telecaster, custom made for him. Fender's marketing department wanted to add new solid body rosewood Telecasters and Stratocasters to its line, and felt that a good way to jump start the instruments' popularity would be to present the prototype of the Telecaster to Harrison and the prototype of the Stratocaster to Jimi Hendrix. According to the book Beatles Gear, (Andy Babiuk, Backbeat Books, 2002) in 1968, Phillip Kubicki, a young, talented guitar maker, was told by his boss, Roger Rossmeisl, that Fender would be making the guitars. Recalls Kubicki: "For me, this was about as exciting as things could get. The Beatles and Hendrix were at their peak and were a big part of the times." According to the book, "Rossmeisl decided that a safe course would be to produce two prototypes each of the Rosewood Telecaster and the Rosewood Stratocaster and then select the best to give to the star musicians. The bodies for the guitars were made with a thin layer of maple sandwiched between a solid rosewood top and back. "I spent hours sanding the bodies to perfection," recalls a misty eyed Kubicki. "Eventually, a clear polyurethane finish was applied and allowed to dry, and we selected the two best bodies and necks for Harrison and Hendrix." Kubicki says that Harrison's telecaster became a priority because Fender knew it was required for an album that The Beatles were working on. The guitar was carefully and painstakingly finished, set up, checked and carefully rubbed with a fine cloth until it became highlighted. The second body and neck were stored in Fender's R & D department. Kubikci followed the guitar's history and, according to the book reported that "Harrison's guitar was flown to England-in its own seat-accompanied by a courier, and hand-delivered to the Apple offices in December 1968. "I remember when I saw the guitar for the first time in the Let It Be film," smiles Kubicki. "I was so thrilled I almost jumped out of my seat." Also, according to Beatles Gear, "A myth has circulated for years that Harrison and John Lennon each received a Rosewood Telecaster, but Lennon certainly never had one. Harrison's Telecaster bore the serial number 235594. The guitar was used almost exclusively by Harrison in the Get Back recording sessions and was chosen by him to play the rooftop final performance on January 30, 1969. This performance was the film's final climax---the band's celebrated final live public performance atop Apple's roof. The group played 'Get Back', 'Don't Let Me Down', 'I've Got A Feeling', 'The One After 909' and 'Dig A Pony'. The next day, another performance was staged, this time in the Apple basement studio. With the cameras rolling, they performed and recorded 'The Long And Winding Road', and 'Let It Be', with Harrison using his Rosewood Telecaster. Shortly thereafter, the band would go their separate ways forever. By the end of 1969, each of the Beatles had designs on solo projects and began their own respective journeys to that end. On December 1, 1969, George Harrison, along with Ringo Starr, attended Delaney & Bonnie's performance at London's Royal Albert Hall. Eric Clapton was on the bill that night and following the show asked Harrison if he would join the group for a few shows throughout Britain and Denmark. The next day, Harrison joined the tour and presented Delaney with a wonderful gift-his Fender Rosewood Telecaster. Harrison told Delaney "This is for what you did for me last night." Delaney recalls that during the tour the various band mates would sometimes switch guitars, although he primarily used his newly acquired Rosewood Telecaster. Since that special day in 1969, Delaney has cherished the 'early Christmas gift' bestowed upon him by Harrison. Guitar collectors and historians have long known the whereabouts of the instrument, but few have had the privilege of seeing it in person. The closest they have been able to come to admiring the Rosewood Telecaster has been via the two-page spread in which it is illustrated in Beatles Gear. Delaney Bramlett has counted the guitar among his very dearest possessions and hopes that its new home will be with a collector who will treat it with the same respect and dignity he has for the nearly three decades it has been in his possession. The guitar is in fine condition and is accompanied by the hard shell case used by Bramlett to transport it as he toured with his Delaney Bramlett and Friends road show, of which Harrison and Eric Clapton were a part. An unprecedented opportunity to acquire a truly world-class and historically significant instrument. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity written by Delaney Bramlett himself.

This particular guitar was presented at the NAMM show by Gibson and was bought by the guitarist for the Kentucky Headhunters (unfortunately, no documentation of that can be provided). Nonetheless, These early 80's are known as the "PRE HISTORIC" 1959 Reissue guitars built by the best of the best Luthiers Gibson had to offer and This one is Amazing. Also rare because its one of the few in " FLAME MAPLE" with the meaty 58/9 AAA Mahogany Neck with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard and with the Vintage correct Trapazoid MOP Inlays same as 50's Les Pauls used SEE THE PICS..most of these Heritage series guitars are Quilt tops I have had a few of those and they are nice too but this is a Very Nice Flame Top Example and is truly sure to please the true Player-Collector-Investor.

Hovland caps have been added to the tone pots (a standard upgrade for these guitars). In 1981, Gibson was still making their guitars in Kalamazoo, MI and this is a fine representation of their work. As you can see in the pictures, it has a BEAUTIFUL flamed maple top. It has some wear on the back, but that's to be expected from a touring guitarist's instrument. Fortunately, it also has the sound and playability that's to be expected from a touring guitarist's instrument! Comes with its Original hardshell case included. Please email me with any questions. .

This example just NAILS!!! the Vintage 1959 Les Paul. Okay, all you High-End Tokai enthusiasts… here's the one you've been holding out for!!! This is a new guitar and was built in 2008 Tokai Love Rock Custom Shop LS-I VF 8974 Les Paul Guitar. This guitar has been seriously upgraded sonicly with a set of Motor City Black Belt vintage PAF replica Pickups, This baby is in 100% pristine condition! For those of you who know about the unbeatable quality of high-end Tokai instruments, you will need no explanation but for those of you who are tired of going through 10-15 Gibson Les Paul guitars, trying to find “THE ONE," here's where your journey can end the best of the best. I've played for over 38 years and have owned many guitars, for me the bulk of which have been Gibson USA and Custom Shop LPs and of course my Vintage 1965 Gibson es335. I'm not going to downgrade Gibson I love the good one's but you usually have to pay $4500-7500 to get one of them, they have made some marvelous guitars through their storied history, but I've had problems in the last few years with finding one that really “sings." I really like the looks and vibe of the R9 VOS guitars and the older R-9's & R-8's , but I was not interested in dropping $5,000 plus to get one this time round. Then I saw this one in a Custom Shop in Nagoya, Japan, and that was all it took. The look, the feel, the fit, the 59' vibe, the sound, the all nitrocellulose lacquer finish…so I spent $2,200 on this beauty and made one MAJOR upgrade to hand-wound, Motor City Black Belt Pickups ($320.00 upgrade). They were installed and wired by my guitar tech, who is the best in business, bar none. (The original Tokai MKII pickups were marginal at best not bad but sounded nothing like this! These Black Belts pickups are vintage PAF winds with bridge in the 8-9K range…the neck mid 7's. To learn more about these check http://www.motorcitypickups.com/products/blackbelt.htm Specs are as follows: · Exotic woods BODY: Top is AAAA Highly Flamed - Figured Eastern Maple top this is a real SOLID TOP and is not a thin veneer or photoflame, The High grade Mahogany Back – is solid, and is ONE-PIECE and is all 100% exotic African Mahogany · ENTIRE GUITAR FINISH: is ALL 100% Nitrocellulose instrument Lacquer and like glass · NECK JOINT: IS correct 1959 spec = Long-Tenon Deep Joint · NECK: One-piece African Mahogany vintage correct frets with perfectly detailed fret edge binding with a glass like feel, inlays are celluloid and correct old school and are aged like a high end Gibson CS Tom Murphy R-9 aged Replica.. · FINGERBOARD: is Exotic dark Rosewood and it looks like its Brazilian Rosewood with that grain seen on the Old Gibson's · RADIUS: Similar to VOS '59 Reissue,it has some girth, but probably not as much as a '58 Reissue. · SCALE: 24.75" · NUT: Bone (43.0 mm – 1.69") · NECK INLAY: Old school aged Amber Celluloid Trapezoid · PAF HUMBUCKING PICKUPS: Motor City Black Belt $320 total upgrade · CONTROLS: 2-Vol, 2-Tone, CTS Pots, 3-Way Switchcraft Toggle · BRIDGE: HLS-VB & HLS-VT Aluminum Stop Tailpiece feather weight · TUNERS: Gotoh SD90-SL · WEIGHT: 9 lbs, 11 oz. · Genuine Gibson Switchwasher ($10) · CASE: Optional & Available The tone of this guitar is exquisite… both clean and over-driven and will not disappoint.

The neck is quite straight and the truss rod adjusts normallywithout issue. The frets are very good and have only barely visable minor wear, and this Classic SG guitar plays like the real deal = super nicely. and everything works properly just as it should. The serial number, stamped in the neck pickup route, is 90706. and taken with the other construction details, this would surely mean a 1989 date. Quality grade Solid mahogany body & 1-piece set mahogany neck; the neck profile is a slim-'60s “C". The pickups should be VH2 and sound GREAT. This guitar is a feather-light 6 pounds 10 ounces.You will not want to put this Classic SG down its comfortable and EZ to rock when cranked you can get a real nice guttsy tone from this bad boy... Just in & pics soon to come .

Greco is one of the greatest names in Japanese-made for the Japanese market replica guitars.

This High End Greco line of Gibson copies are so accurate in detail and of such high quality standards that Gibson contracted its own operation in Japan, and Fuji Gengakki " Greco" is who Gibson selected, Greco Co. made Gibson's own Japanese Orville-brand of replicas made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market. You will not be disappointing with your Japanese Detailed Crafted Accurate Greco High Quality guitar purchase. Here is a little background history about GRECO GUITARS Greco is one of the earliest lawsuit guitar makers in Japan. They have been making guitars since the early 1960's. Most of the 1960's guitars were original builds, but in the early 1970's, they got into making Quality Exact High End replicas of original Fenders and Gibsons. At first, they didn't have the hardware to make them really good, exact replicas, but by 1974 or so, they had the hardware to match their excellent craftsmanship, and they put out some killer replicas. Also, Greco made more models of original Fenders, Gibsons, Rickenbackers, Gretschs, Zemaitis, Ibanez, etc. etc. guitars than any other 2 companies combined. They beat Tokai to the lawsuit race by at least 5 years. Eventually, as the company found that the demand for their wonderful Stratocasters and Les Pauls grew, they sold their stratocaster division to Fender Japan in late 1981. By 1982, Greco stratocasters became Fender JV stratocasters, then later MIJ and CIJ stratocasters, made by the same guys who made the Greco "Sparkle Sound," "Spacey Sound," "Sparkle Sound," and "Super Real" stratocasters. But Greco still retained the business of selling great Les Pauls and other knockoffs of unusually high quality and likeness to the originals. Greco still makes great guitars today, continuing their tradition for excellence. Japannes Vintage Guitars. JVGuitars gr8bids@comcast.net Priced @ $1,199.00 .

This Fernandes Strat was made in Japan and has been professionally by the looks of it "Fenderized" in its past with that company's real vintage decal on the headstock but thats it other than that she's all stock original...This is not a real vintage 1964 Fender Strat although it looks and sounds just like one this guitar is a very high quality Japanese Fernendez- Tokai Gakki factory made vintage 64 Strat. Here we have a great Japanese vintage 1964 Strat Replica guitar its so close in all aspects to the real deal its scary ..accurate spot on vintage correct 3 tone Sunburst finish and it is correct old thin finish you can see grain slightly like our real 64 Strat.. this one looks like glass with lots of cool vibe too with its natural wear & dings and such ( see pics for that detail ) it now looks like a real 64'aged naturally ( because its REAL VINTAGE its almost 30 years old its real aging) The original sunburst body on Alder wood just like Leo Fender used and is also in exact detail SSS all original routs and also is a very resonant body ( 30 years old wood )and I find it has superior tone rich tone characteristics... With its correct all vintage old school nickel hardware is all original and has a gorgeous Brazilian looking exotic rosewood fretboard with F like pearloid type markers..vintage hardware includes original Kluson style Japanese high quality tuners are likely Gotoh, all nickel parts now aged including Tremolo & saddles..just a bit of crusty rust to be authentic Relic cool vibe.. Just the way I like um...The all important tone block is on board and original and is much like Leo's originals in composition inertia steel block and resonates the tone to a true vintage bell like Fender chime...excellent tone is achieved with these original Japanese Fernandes Strat pickups... I have had these in several old Fernandes strats and they are some of the greatest vintage sounding picks out of Japan..easily rivals the tone from the same era gray bottoms in the Springy Sound strats from Tokai Japan which I find were actually built by Semour Duncan back in the day for Tokai's highest end guitars.. this guitar looks right & feels right as well as it actually sounds as good or better than any of the Reissues ...Have Questions? email Joe @ gr8bids@comcast.net Thanks for your interest Joe.
