Fender Twin Reverb 1965 Reissue in mint condition anyone? Has cover, footswitch and mucho tone. For $999 it could be the last amp you'll ever buy!!!

On the outside an everyday 1999 Fender Standard Strat, although a very clean one. Inside, look out!!! This one has been upgraded with DiMarzio SDS-1, FS-1 and Red Velvet Pick-ups and sounds amazing. At $379 it's less than you'd pay for a new Mexican Strat never mind the DiMarzios and hard shell case!!!

This Eastman AR910CE was made for the 2008 NAMM show.....that means it was an extra special one! A friend scored it shortly afterwards and has now decided to pass it along. If you don't know about Eastman Guitars you should check them out online.....carved top, all solid woods, ebony everywhere, floating Armstrong humbucker, road case and much more. The price of $1999 is a better price for one in this condition than I could find anywhere else!!!

The real deal, a 1999 Martin HD28. Solid spruce, rosewood and ebony makes a mighty sweet guitar especially when built in Nazareth PA. This fine example has very low mileage, plays great and sounds awesome. Included in the price of $1899 is the original hard shell case, a K&K Pick-up and a humidifier. Get real!!

YUP, that is the real deal.....a 1970 Ampeg SVT. The best bass amp ever? So say many! This one is in amazingly clean and original condition (1 pot, 1 knob and the original rubber feet were replaced). It still has it's 6146B power tubes and everything is working ands sounding great.....and LOUD. We're gonna see if we can get any takers at $1999.

2008 Godin SD in Trans Amber Flame anyone? In Nearly New condition and includes a hard shell case for a mere $399.

And still the Champ.....a 1970, all original (including RCA tubes) Fender Champ. Nice clean sound and on 10 the best natural overdrive. Blues Jr or this? For $300 I'd take the Champ.

A bunch of customers have asked me to let them know when a Sustainer guitar comes in......well, here's one. It is a Made in Japan, 1999, Fernandes Revolver Elite. I sold it when it was new and the original owner had his 12 years of fun with it, now it's your turn. This has all 3 Sustainer settings btw. Oh yeah, the price is $399.

A cherry (pun intended) 2003 Fender American Series Strat HSS just walked in the door and it is looking for a new home. For $799 you get this beautiful Strat with OHSC and case candy.....take that to the bank!

Or.....a very low mileage 2000 Fender American Series Strat of the more traditional style for the same price.....$799. Also includes OHSC and complete case candy.

Choices are good.....right?

I've been looking awhile now for a real nice guitar line that fills the $200 to $400 price range.....well, I think the search is over. Walden Guitars are designed in the USA by a former Charles Fox Luthier and feature everything you'd find in a much more expensive guitar line.....like, nitrocellulose lacquer finishs, two-way truss rods, solid spruce tops, B Band electronics with a built-in chromatic tuner, Graphtech Fossilite nuts and saddles, D'Addario Strings, inlaid rosettes and a nice branded gig bag. Pictured (left to right) is the D550CE Aou/Elec ($399), an 0550CE Orchestra Size Acou/Elec ($429) and the D550 ($299). As an added incentive to give a Walden a try, in stock guitars come with a FREE Guitar Stand and Planet Waves Humidifier.

"Sexy"....that's what I said when I opened the box. The Lanikai LU-21 Tenor Ukulele in black with mother of pearl binding and a pick-up system also has a sexy price of $199.

Paul just finished up this Fender Hot rod Deville and she is ready to go. In good working order and pretty much un-dinged and with a cover for $399.....I've already been told that it will not be here long!!

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.
