What's New

(see "Guitars", "Amps" and "Other Stuff" pages for more info)

Real, Made in USA, Martin DC-15E. This would be the mahogany bodied, cutaway with Prefix Plus Preamp model. In "Nearly New" condition with original Hard Shell Case for a mere $999.

Now that the S101 guitars are no longer available I've been looking around for another good starter line of guitars. These look very promising.....Oscar Schmidt OX10 Strat. I even got a package deal from them so you get the guitar, the gig bag, a leather strap, a cable and a tuner/metronome all for $199 !! And, they have a lifetime warranty too. Keep an eye out as I have a couple of other new lines to check out later this month including the Nomad SG Jr that looks very cool and sells for around $200.

Good Bass Cheap Alert.....an Ibanez GSR200 P/J Bass in great shape for only $139.

A friend has decided to part with her Warwick Corvette Standard. Pretty rare to find a used one !! Comes with Gig Bag and "Users Kit" for $499. Don't delay, buy it right away !!!

The highly desired, not as good as they used to be, Orange AD30R. This is the one from a few years ago with no channel switching and just a single row of knobs that sound unbelievable. Having spent it's life in the road case (that is included) she is in great condition too. At $1699 not a bad deal on a hard to find amp.

The Fender BXR 300C is a surprisingly good sounding bass amp from the early '90's. With a 15" speaker, 300 watts, semi-parametric midrange, compressor/limiter and not much else to get in the way. If you need a gigging bass amp that is quite portable look no further. $299 takes her home.

Just what everyone needs.....a pair of Mackie SRM 450 powered cabs. And at $799 a nice deal too.

HEY....Fretless fans....this just in.....a very nice playing and sounding Yamaha BB350F. At $299 you could do a lot worse !!!!

One of Mike Endicott's more ambitious projects...a circa 1950 Gretsch Synchromatic that has been highly customized and completely rebuilt. Where do I start? The seafoamgreen paint job? The cutaway and new binding? The addition of a truss rod? The real Melita Bridge? The Schaller Tuning Machines? The Framus pickup? The Bakelite knobs? Maybe I'll just say it plays real EZ and has rich, full tone. Obviously this is a one-of-a-kind guitar and at $1499 a nice deal too.

Like New Hagstrom Viking II. Bought last year by a friend who hardly played it and now wants another guitar. Yes, it has the super slim Hagstom "speed neck". Could be yours for $399.

What's better than 2 RATS????? The R2DU of course. 2 RATS in one box with footswitch and cable. Does 1,2 or both RATS at once for $199. Getting collected so don't delay.

Dave G. has decided to go small. So, this Mesa Boogie 2X12" Open/Closed Back cab can find a new home. Loaded with 2 EVM 12L 200 watt speakers this cab does clean great and is no slouch with the natural sounding overdrive. A bit rough around the edges but working fine for $349.

For those of you not familiar with what we do here at Gary's, "service" is the word to remember. Next day guitar repairs, amp and electronic repairs by the end of the week. A selection of guitars, amps and accessories that we have found to be tried and true, always a friendly ear and words of advice as well as some of the coolest, hard-to find-gear. We strive to cover ALL the guitar bases 'cause we are the Seacoasts Guitar Specialists.

That's the Gordon Carlisle mural. I asked Gordon for something bright and, ya know, with a guitar in it. Voila!!!
