They're gone, and no, we can't tell you who bought them.
1960s Gibson EB-O Bass
Made in the USA.
1975 Gibson L6-S Midnight Special
Made in the USA.
A word of warning. The L6-S Midnight Special is a bolt neck guitar, with strings through
the body. It has Bill Lawrence designed pickups, one volume, one
tone control, and a 3 position selector switch.
It is NOT an L6-S, later
renamed the L6-S Custom. That guitar has a set neck, tune-o-matic bridge, a stop
tail piece, one volume control, and two tone controls, and a 6 position selector knob. The L6-S, and the L6-S Custom, are worth more than
the L6-S Midnight Special.
There is also an L6-S Deluxe. The Deluxe has black plastic pickup covers, one
tone and one volume control, a 3 position selector switch, strings through the
body, and a rosewood fret board.
1979 Peavey T-60 no
photo
Made in the USA.
A very heavy guitar, but balanced. We believe it was made of ash. Maple fret
board. Two humbucking pickups with very weird electronics. Visit Peavey's
website for the manual. It came with
a massive plastic hard shell case.
1983 O'Hagan Nightwatch
Made in USA.
A very heavy guitar. Made of walnut. Neck through, very light
action, great sustain. We had problems with the wrap-around bridge. There
is an O'Hagan Guitar website run by a fan of these guitars.
1989 Charvel Charvette
Made in Japan.
Plywood body. Charvel pickups. Later Charvettes were made in Korea.
1990s Hamer Sunburst Arch top
Made in Korea.
A very heavy guitar. Mahogany body. Maple cap. A nice looking guitar ruined by
muddy sounding pickups.
1991 Gibson Explorer '76 Reissue
Made in the USA.
1993 Guild S4CE-NT (Songbird)
Made in the USA.
This thin bodied acoustic/electric guitar is neck heavy.

Semi-hollow body. Another guitar ruined by muddy sounding pickups.
1995 Epiphone LP Special

1997 Gibson Les Paul Studio Gem
Made in USA.
A Studio with P-90 single coils. There were five different gem stone
colors.
1997 Gibson The Paul
II
Made in USA.
It looks like a Les Paul, but it's only 1/3 as thick. Mahogany body, with
carved mahogany top. Two uncovered humbucking pickups, two volume, two tone
controls, three position pickup selector switch, rosewood finger board with
dot inlays, 59 style neck.

2000 Epiphone SG Special
Made in Korea.
2000 Gibson Les Paul Special SL
Made in USA.

small trapezoid inlays. SLs are worth less than regular Les Paul
Specials.
2001 Ibanez AX-220 QMB
Made in Korea.
This electric guitar is neck heavy. Bolt on neck, strings
through the body. Very light mahogany body with quilted maple veneer
top. Maple neck, rosewood fret board, dot inlays.
2001 Epiphone Poly
V
Made in Korea.
2000's Carlo Robelli Acoustic/Electric
Made somewhere. We suspect the People's Republic of China. This guitar also had no
serial number.
2002 Gibson Flying V Faded
Made in the USA.
The first issue of this model had an ebony fret board with half moon inlays.
The later model had a rosewood fret board with dot inlays.
2002 Washburn
X10B
no

We don't remember much about it. It was brand new in the box, we got it for
free, and within an hour it was on consignment in a different music store.
2002 Schecter Tribal Bass
Made in Korea.
This electric bass is neck heavy. We considered putting weights in the
control cavity. We ended up deciding to just sell it.
2003 Gibson SG
Special
Made in USA.
Gibson pick-up covers added to protect pick-ups.
2003 Epiphone
Dot
Made in Korea.
Semi-hollow body. Muddy sounding pickups, but not as bad as the later P.R.C.
made guitars.
2004 Washburn
Rover
Made somewhere. We suspect the People's Republic of China. The gig bag is much
larger than the guitar.
2004 Gibson Flying V Faded
Made in the USA.
This is the later model with the rosewood fret board with dot inlays.
2006 Art & Lutherie Ami Pro Parlor Guitar
Made in Canada.
2006 Wechter Maple Lake Travel Guitar no
photo.
Made in the People's Republic of China.
The piezo pickup under the bridge saddle was crispy to the point of
pain.
2006? Alvarez MSD-1 Travel Guitar
Made in the People's Republic of China.
Regular tuning despite the short
scale length. With Alvarez gig bag.
Unknown Year Ovation Celebrity
CC-157
Made in Korea.
A previous owner filed the bridge saddle down, and made it impossible
to adjust the action. We owned it two days before bringing it back. Yes,
we could have replaced the saddle, but why?
Unknown Year Ovation Applause AE-700 no
photo.
Made in Korea.
The piezo pickup under the bridge saddle was crispy to the point of
pain.
Unknown Year Oscar Schmidt OE-30 Delta King
Made either in Indonesia or the People's Republic of China. There's no country
of manufacture listed on the label visible through the top f-hole.
Bolt neck. Semi-hollow body. 2 muddy sounding Washburn pickups. The
guitar has good physical balance, though.
Unknown Year Yamaha
AEX500
Made in Taiwan.
This thin hollow body acoustic/electric guitar is neck heavy. One mini-humbucker,
and a piezo pickup under the bridge saddle. The tone control is actually a
blend control for the pickups. There is a three band graphic equalizer for the
piezo pickup. After this photo was taken, we put the original smaller gold
knobs back on.
