Finds, Stories & Riffs
This space is devoted to sharing discoveries of guitar listings. They’re typically classifieds from the usual places or auctions at the big boys of ebay and Reverb.Â
What makes them worthy of sharing†? Good question. If we find them interesting, unique, a good deal, or just something that we feel is special for whatever reason. Please comment with your thoughts (price, authenticity, value…it’s all fair game).
Find: 1978 Marshall 2150 Combo Amp
This Marshall combo amplifier rated at 100W in a recovered cabinet features its original Celestion T2975 speaker. Not something you come across every day.
Find: 1996 Gibson Flying V
This Gibson Flying V in cream with white pickgaurd features a fingerboard in Ebony and appears quite clean in its original hard-shell case. Made in 1996 as a ’67 model reissue, this guitar might be worth an investigation.
Find: 1980 Guild D50
This Sunburst finished Dreadnaught from Guild was manufactured in 1980 at the Westerly, RI factory. It features a Sitka Spruce top with Rosewood back/sides, Mahogany neck and both the bridge and fretboard in Ebony.
Find: 1966 Fender Deluxe Reverb Amplifier
This blackface fender tube amp from ’66 features replaced grill-cloth and a Celestion G12L-35. Recent maintenance includes a re-cap and servicing 2 years ago.
Find: 2014 Froggy Bottom P-12 Deluxe
This acoustic guitar made of an Adirondack top with Walnut back & sides displays well what hand craftsmanship can achieve. This beautifully bound Parlor from Froggy Bottom with 12 frets, in their deluxe package, is worthy of a share.
Find: 2003 Fender Telecaster American
This guitar features a cream finish and black pickguard with a C shape Maple neck and Rosewood fretboard. Reported as bone stock, it comes with 6 stainless steel saddles on an Adler body.
Find: 2009 Gibson SG Standard
This guitar is reported as an all original example in Heritage Cherry. It comes with its original Gibson issued hard case and stock configuration.
Find: 2002 History (FGN) LH-10QM
A stunning LP from Fujigen (branded History) with a quilted Maple top hosting Gibson Burstbucker PAFs.
Find: Marshall JCM900 2100 SL-X 100W
A seemingly well taken care of JCM 900 in the latter SL-X version. The 1 channel high gain amp with the EL34 power section seems to get more positive comments than negative.
† Great deals usually don’t last, so while this archive will provide links, expect them to go stale quickly. We have zero financial interest in any of these shares, and are never paid to promote any listing. We are simply helping discover cool stuff, hoping to drive a buyer from our community to consider them.
Additional guidelines for our Finds here at triple D:
- Looking for items ~10 or more years old.
- Nothing excessively expensive. We won’t feature one hundred thousand dollar Dumbles or ’59 Les Pauls.
- The key is interesting, unique, good value, classic, cool, iconic, specials, etc….kind of things we want to buy if only we could buy it all.
- Things that will stir a conversation and be appreciated by our community, and hopefully be purchased by someone in our community of visitors.
