Larry Wysocki is THE “go to” wood guy in the luthier biz.  Anyone who orders a high end $10k-$50k acoustic likely has one made with woods supplied by Larry.  He has been THE guy for 50 years and scours the planet for old growth, air dried and high quality light woods.

1958 Fender High Powered Twin Tweed.  Super clean. I acquired it from a collection and it has been in mine.  The person I acquired it from purchased it from the original owner.  This has withstood time in a wonderful condition.  BUT it also is a freaking WOW amp.  Notes just sustain and bloom like nothing I’ve experienced.  I

This is NOT like every other one you see…where all the bad crap is hidden in block paragraphs…followed by “great sounding”.  This has a only couple of things to mention and we will mention them up front.

• Speakers reconed a year ago by Neal’s Speaker Repair.  I A/B’d the recones against a vintage set and could not tell the difference.  The only reason these were reconed was the cones were damaged in shipping when I purchased the amp.
• Not certain if the rectifier tube is original or not. It is labeled Amperex.  One preamp tube appears changed and original included. Other tubes appear original.
• 3-Way power cable added by my tech (Cage Audio).  Original Included.
• Couple of caps changed.

So that means the hande, tweed, trannies, grille, lettering….ALL ORIGINAL.

Couple of other things:

• It comes with the ORIGINAL COVER
• I plan to ship it in a custom flight case unless you prefer something else.
• Sorry no sound samples, videos, demos, weighing, measuring, photographing in pre-dawn light or testing for radiation.
• Sale is as-is unless it arrives smashed up.  That means…I don’t want to enter into your coveted post-purchase renegotiation because you believe X tube might not be original and your tech says the amp requires blah blah blaqh blah…if that’s your game…buy someone else’s.

The amp is wonderful.  There is a reason so many people hoard these.  I just find I don’t play it and it belongs with someone who will cherish and use it.

If you offer a trade: Make me a firm offer…no archtops, no broken/repaired stuff, no PRS, no illiquid crap you want to turn into A-grade collector quality gear.  Make it quality and I will respond.  No returns. No trials.  No approval periods.  

019 Nacho Banos TELECASTER!  From smoke-free 1-owner environment.   Comes complete with Original Hard Case, Pouch, Cert, Spec Letter, Ashtray Cover and CD.

SORRY NO TRADES.

Ahhh the emails I’ll likely get on this one….not the usual “weight” (even though it’s listed in the spec sheet…not the usual “shipping to Ukraine” (even though it’s stated in the listing”….not the usual “trade for my POS that listed for $3999 and sold retail for $1400 but we won’t think you’re smart enought to know that so we’ll try to pick you off by $2500″….

Why is it my favorite?  Just feels like perfection in my hands.  Just sling this thing around.  Love how the double bound body feels against my arm and hand.  The neck is nice and full and smooth to the touch.  The Budz/Dano 10k pickup just hits like a Mike Tyson body blow until you roll off the volume then ahhhhhhhhh like velvet flowers in a Sweet Tart field of happy.

I toyed with keeping this…it wants to be part of my family…it pleaded…but alas, we are a store…we are in the MOVING business NOT the STORAGE business.  We must resist…must resist…..

THIS my friends is not an ordinary instrument.  This was one-of-three (I am told) ESP Custom Shop JEFF BECK ESQUIRES (George Lynch reportedly has one…maybe this was his?….).   Just look at the woods and craftsmanship and you can instantly tell this is a 1-0ff creation.

The headstock reads ESP Custom.  It has a 1-Piece HIGHLY Figured Ash Body with a top arm contour!

1-piece Maple Neck with a MAPLE BOARD and NO CAP...meaning the neck was one piece of wood and just drilled on the back for the truss rod….how many of these have you seen?…only on the finest guitars because it takes immense time, energy and skill to accomplish this.

Neck profile is a soft-V-to-C that the pros prefer.  It measures .895″-.995″ and is 1-11/16″ Wide with a 9.5 Radius & Medium Frets.

Seymour Duncan Tele Pickup.  AMAZING aging.  Fender Case (hardshell).

Guitar is from a smoke free environment.  The guitar vibrates in your hands.  The pickup spits nails full out…but back off the volume and it cleans up and conveys the warmth yet snappieness of the woods.

We stock the finest gear!  We sell the best modern & vintage gear.  When we tell you a piece is amazing….well, we have the experience to draw from so take it…

1957 Gibson Les Paul Junior in TV Yellow finish. YES the finish is original and it blacklights.  Original FRETS.  Original Pickup.  Original Wiring.  Original Guard.  CHANGED TUNERS.   Upgraded CALTON hard form fit case.

Simple.  Not much else to understand.  Neck profile is a WOW .925″ – .975″.   Weight is just 7lb-5oz!   YES this is the ONE you have been waiting for.

Tonally this has that FATNESS and Crunch til you back off the volume (pot a touch scratchy and you won’t want to mess with it but if you do that’s on you).  This is from MY personal collection.  It sits amongst the very few top sounding guitars I’ve accumulated.  I just find that I don’t play many guitars anymore and it’s time for this one to reside with someone who will use it.

Color is strong.  Checking, dings and some scratches but a clean piece that is just under that grade where you won’t want to touch it.

SORRY NO SOUND SAMPLES

SORRY NO APPROVAL PERIODS

BRAND NEW!  You get the HEAD, “Dumbleator”…oh and the Footswitch!

Only Authorized Dealer!  IN STOCK!   Warranty!  Comes with 2 free revoicings (buyer pays shipping to Mark both ways) if you are not thrilled with the tone!

This is a rare production amp by Mark Kane.    Mark typically only produces custom amps.  He recently made this for our shop so that we could accommodate instant gratification.

The amp itself is a Dumble Style that Mark is universally famous for.  It features 100w of 6L6 Power.  It features the “HRM” tone stack which has the ability to dial in a bit more gain than the standard D tone stack (HIGHLY desirable).

Think Robben tone then note it has a touch more on tap.  Mark refers to this as his “Bluesmaster” style.  It comes COMPLETE with the HEAD, DUMBLEATOR and FOOTSWITCH.  YES the power cable too (you supply cables to/from the buffered effects loop).  The Dumbleator is Mark’s latest style with a Bright Switch.

Get this at the factory direct price adjusted for selling fees.  SORRY WE DO NOT DISCOUNT MARK KANE AMPS so please don’t ask.

Not convinced yet?….go to You Tube and search up some clips.  You can see buyers the world around select the Mark Kane for their D-style amps.  Mark is a renowned expert.  He doesn’t just take online schematics and copy them. Mark has spent his life studying, perfecting and re-perfecting his craft.  We have sold dozens and dozens….and they rarely come up for resale…that speaks volumes.

Just 6lb-6oz in NEAR MINT COLLECTOR CONDITION!

We sold this new less than a year ago.   Save $2500 vs. New on a guitar that lived in a smoke free, gig-free environment.

Think about it…would you buy an acoustic guitar made from crap wood?  Why do you think the top end acoustics command so much money?…the woods combined with the craftsmanship.  Well, let’s start with the WOODS….there is ONE person on the planet who is THE wood guy supplying the world’s top luthiers with coveted planks….Larry Wysocki.  For over 50-years he is THE guy the top builds go to.  He searches the world for air dried woods, recovered woods, exotic woods.  He collects them and has a coveted stash that is sadly running low.

A few times a year, Larry builds instruments.  Usually for celebs, but on occasion he is nice enough to sell me a brand new one.  THIS is such a piece.  Oh and it just vibrates like nothing we have had.  The pickups are custom voiced Rolph telecaster versions that are open and alllow the woods to impart their organic warmth and natural sustain.

Speaking of woods…how about 1-piece AIR DRIED, 50-year old ASH body.  Oh, and a ‘sinker’ 1-piece Maple 150+ Year old Neck.  Think of this….D’Pergo Guitars made their reputation on convincing players that recovered woods make a difference…a D’Pergo with lesser specs runs $19k.   Get my point?   OH and the board…Brazilian Rosewood of course but not some stump wood…this is 80-year old Brazilian from the stash.  You just can’t find woods like this anymore.

You can see the complete Spec & Condition Sheet in the 3rd Picture.
