Highlights include:

* A super-clean Valley Arts Custom Shop Robert Johnson commemorative acoustic guitar from 1995, complete with Robert Johnson accessories and documentation
* A pre-war Gibson acoustic that, despite being heavily modified and bearing the scars of its age, is still appraised in the low thousands

* A 1968 Framus 5/103 Romanze teardrop acoustic

* The first look at the original production prototype of the Peavey T60 from 1977.

Here’s a great “players” guitar for you to check out. It has a Solid Spruce Top, Mahogany back & sides, a Mahogany neck with a Rosewood fingerboard. It’s a made in Japan Aria Diamond series model # 6710. I believe it is from 1977 but can’t be sure. Not a minty fresh, never played collectors piece, but a really nice, well broken in guitar. It’s all original and there are no issues…it has a few dings and dents but everything works. I’ll be listing this on eBay with a $199.99 starting bid in a no reserve auction. I’m just noodling/goofing around…I hope you enjoy it! If I forgot to mention anything, just ask!

Here is a link to my current eBay auctions if you are interested…

Here’s an old, nicely aged 1980 (Made in Taiwan) Yamaha FG-365S 6-String guitar for you to check out. It’s a Solid Spruce Top with Rosewood back, sIdes, and fingerboard on a Mahogany neck. It has held up great and puts many guitars costing way, way more to shame…and I set it up with great, low action for an acoustic. I’ll be listing this on eBay in a no games, no hidden reserve auction. If I forgot anything, just ask…
