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. 

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: 1974 Gibson Flying V

This Mahogany Flying V must have come out of Gibson’s Kalamazoo factory in late 1974 or ’75, which is when the 2nd Reissue of the model commenced.

Find: 1958 Gibson ES-125T

A claimed all original ES-125T with the dogear neck P90. 2 f holes, 2 pots (Vol. & Tone, 500k audio taper). Complete with tortoise shell grain pickguard and trapeze tailpiece.

†  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.
