Number 353 (of 476 made) Martin 000-ECHF Eric Clapton Model now available.  Officially, a Clapton/Fujiwara Bellezza Nera.  Signed by CF Martin, EC, Hiroshi Fujiwara and Dick Boak no less.  Pretty much all the best solid woods, pearl inlays, modified "V" neck, scalloped bracing, Schallers and a Geib 'style" HSC.  It plays great, has nice balanced tone and is cosmetically very clean.  All this can be yours for $4000.  

 

A good deal new, even better used......Art & Lutherie CW Spruce Q1T w/featherweight case for $349.  Solid spruce top, pickup with preamp and built-in tuner AND she plays and sounds great!

 

 

 

Kustom Defender 112 all tube 50 watt guitar amp.  It has innovative design (my fave is the Master Bypass switch....turns it into a vintage, pre master volume, beast!!) rugged construction and a great price tag of $299.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Barely used Ibanez Artstar AS50 anyone?  Has low mileage and set up nicely with low action.  At $179 tough to beat!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another of Mike Endicotts finds/restoration projects.  This one is a Fender P-Bass consisting of a refinished 1962 body with a 1959 neck, pickguard and electronics.  Needless to say, it feels amazing, plays great and sounds just like you read about.  We decided that $3499 was a fair price.

 

 

 

 

Still the best "Made in Japan" Strat ever, a Frenendes LE-2!!  This one has the "Joe King" mod (1 DiMarzio Tone Zone Humbucker), and a custom metallic blue paint job. But it's all about the alder body and perfect neck profile.  With a beat HSC for $259.

 

 

 

A sadly discontinued Godin Freeway Classic now up for grabs.  This one got souped up with DiMarzio pick-ups so it is richer & fuller sounding than original.  Made in 2009, it is still in excellent condition and could be yours for a mere $399.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Godin Session Strat in semi-gloss blackburst.  Made in Canada/USA (Berlin NH actually!!), it plays like butter, has the tru-lock trem, a humbucker with coil cut, a deluxe gig bag and a price tag of $499.  BUY LOCAL!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Join the "little guitar club" with an Art & Lutherie AMI.  Our best selling Parlor size guitar has a solid cedar top and is made in Canada....and it sells for only $349.  Maybe you can't buy a friend but you can buy an AMI!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A 1970/71 Ampeg V-4, aptly nicknamed "Agent Orange".  OK, the cosmetics leave something to be desired BUT, the Sylvania 7027As are still kicking some butt!  A versatile clean amp until you get it up to 5 or so and than OMG, classic Stones raunch.  A unique sounding amp, a classic amp, an all tube (11 of them) amp, a made in USA amp for $429?  You betcha.

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmmmm, the best 'lil solid state guitar amp ever?  Could be this 1985 Marshall Lead 12.  Made in the UK w/a real Celestion speaker it sounds pretty good!  At $99 kind of a sweet deal too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loaded up on Lanikai Lu-21 Concert & Tenor Ukes.  We agree they are the best value in a Uke.....and the come with high quality Aquila strings.....and they start at $99.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 anywhere.  We strive to cover ALL the guitar basses '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.
