Pictures from the distant and not so distant past......................

Circa 1970 Sound City Concord......unique/bizarre/strange and more.

An Alamo Fiesta Guitar and Alamo Model 2525 Amp.  Just visiting.

 

Recent Restore job.....mid '50s Silvertone....came out great.

A 1958 Harmony Silvertone 175 clone that I sold for a friend.

Here's a Danelectro Short Horn Bass that used to be mine.  I sold at the Grand Opening of Gary's Guitars....now its back....think I'll keep it again.

A very worthy guitar, 1961 Guild Starfire II.  I first sold this guitar back in 1995 and she came back for 2 days before she sold again.

 

 

Had the pleasure of restoring this 1955 Gretsch 6120.  Not only in the original case with tooled leather binding but also had the original matching tooled strap!!!

 

 

Couldn't resist this pic....the refin brothers reunited.  A 1961 Jazzmaster in baby bottom pink and a 1965 Lake Placid Blue Jazz Bass were hanging out in the shop.  Both refinished over 20 years ago by Mike Endicott.

The coolest guitar in town has found a home.  A 1950 Gretsch Sycromatic that was totally transformed.
