One of the rarest configurations of the iconic Gibson Melody Maker: the 1963 double-pickup version with original Maestro Vibrola. In 1963 Gibson enlarged the body, rounded the edges further, and introduced the short-form Maestro Vibrola as a factory option — making this dual-pickup, vibrato-equipped example genuinely exceptional. The sunburst finish is enhanced by natural age-checking (crazing) that comes only with six decades of life, adding character no modern guitar can replicate. Exceptional crunch and grain. Highly appreciated in the studio and on stage. Equally remarkable for slide guitar.
A genuine collector's piece — one of only 300 Fender American Professional Shedua Top Stratocasters ever produced. This example goes even further: it is fitted with an extraordinarily rare AAAAA-grade birdseye maple neck of exceptional quality, an option so rare it alone justifies the asking price. Shedua (also known as Ovangkol) is an exotic West African hardwood prized for its warm, dynamic tonal character. Combined with an okoume body, the result is a guitar with vivid attack, rich sustain, and a warmth that stands apart from standard alder Strats. Comes with its original luxury case, certificate of authenticity, and all original documentation.
This is not simply a Fender Strat Ultra — it is a piece of American guitar-making history. The neck is hand-stamped "HECTOR MONTES / MAR 21 1990," confirming it was carved and sanded by one of Fender's founding Custom Shop master luthiers. Hector Montes shaped necks alongside John Cruz in the earliest days of the Fender Custom Shop, and is directly credited with building the Fender Stratocaster Eric Clapton "Blackie" and the Stevie Ray Vaughan SRV signature. His mark on a neck is an authentication of craftsmanship that is impossible to replicate and extraordinarily rare. The body is alder with a one-piece figured maple top and back — an unusual and striking specification. The Strat Ultra was billed by Fender as the "Ultimate Stratocaster" upon its 1990 launch, representing the pinnacle of the Strat Plus series. Its four Lace Sensor pickups (two Red Dual Sensors at bridge, Silver at middle, Blue at neck), TBX tone control, Wilkinson Roller Nut, Sperzel locking tuners, and ebony fingerboard made it the most sophisticated production Stratocaster of its era. This example is for the true connoisseur.
A pristine example of the Fender Stratocaster Ultra — the "Ultimate Stratocaster" of its era. The body is alder with a figured flame maple veneer on both the top and back, finished in the rare "Ebony Burst" — an almost-black transparent finish that reveals the dramatic flame figure only under direct light or sunlight, like a tiger's stripes. This guitar is in perfect condition, meticulously maintained, with only a few faint belt marks on the back. The Strat Ultra's four Lace Sensor pickups deliver eleven usable pickup combinations via its 5-way switch and dual-sensor mini-toggle — an unmatched tonal palette for a production Stratocaster. Includes both the original white pickguard and the pearloid replacement (easily interchangeable). Original hard case included.
A superb 1973 Gibson SG Special in exceptional condition — 100% original, with spectacular mahogany grain, a fast and velvety neck, and two original mini humbuckers that deliver devastating results. The mini humbuckers fitted to the SG Special produce a tonality distinct from full-size humbuckers: cleaner, more defined, with articulate highs and a punch free from the background noise associated with P-90 single coils. The SG platform shares its DNA with guitars played by Angus Young, Pete Townshend, Tony Iommi, Frank Zappa, and Carlos Santana — artists who collectively defined rock, hard rock, heavy metal, and beyond. A 1973 SG Special is a direct descendant of those instruments: not a decorative piece, but a working guitar with timeless sonic DNA and genuine long-term investment value. No case.
You are looking at one of 25 Red Scorpion Les Paul Customs ever made — and it may be the only one currently available for purchase anywhere in the world. The Gibson Les Paul Custom Scorpion (2018) builds on the legacy of the "Widow" and "Centipede" Custom Shop limited editions, taking the concept to its furthest point yet: for the first time, a transparent stain in bold, alternating stripes is applied directly to a figured maple top, creating a visual signature entirely unlike any other Les Paul. Paired with pearl split-block inlays and multi-ply binding, the effect is striking and unmistakable. Tonally, the hand-wired 490R/498T humbucker pair — paired with CTS pots, Bumblebee capacitors, and a Switchcraft toggle — delivers the full authority of a Les Paul Custom, with the added clarity and harmonic complexity that comes from hand assembly. Its value is rising. There will not be another one.
