1

1978 Fender Bronco
Serial # S881971. This Bronco is ultimately in fantastic condition aside from needing a refret job. The finish has held up incredibly well. There are a few minor scrapes and dings, but nothing major by any means. The neck and headstock still have a great varnish other then some minimal wear. The rosewood and pearl inlays are fantastic. No case with this one and no whammy bar to be found.

2

1977 Fender Musicmaster
Serial # S704984. The color scheme on this '77 Music Master is just beautiful. The instrument is in excellent condition aside from a few small defects. The birdseye maple neck has a very small ding behind the 3rd fret and very minimal wear at the top of the headstock. The body has a handful of dings in the common spots on the heel. Slight fret wear but plenty of life left in them. This is a truly unique instrument. Included hardshell Fender case has some wear and tear.

3

1981 Fender Lead 1
Serial # E115064. This '81 Lead I looks fantastic at 40 years old. The finish on the body has a few very minor scrapes and defects, but presents very well. The neck varnish has a few chips here and there, but the roasted maple finish has great character. The frets have a fair bit of wear, but still have some life left in them. This instrument has clearly been well played and well loved. No case.

4

1980 Fender Lead II
Serial # E018486. The finish on this guitar has exposed all the natural wood grain for a very unique appearance. The varnish on the neck is in good shape aside from a couple small nicks and minimal play wear. The upper register freta have some wear but still life in them. The original hard shell case is included.

5

1981 Fender Lead III
Serial # E103888. This Lead III is near perfect and presents very well. There is some slight discoloration on the back of the headstock from what seems to have been from a refinish job. Frets have some wear, so a re-fret could be in order at some point down the road. No case.

6

1965 Fender Duo Sonic II
This is a great example of a '65 Duo Sonic 2. It is near perfect in appearance, but will need a fret job before long. The maple neck is gorgeous and the pearl pick guard has an incredible shimmer. 24" scale length. Pot #'s 737-6542. The neck plate was replaced. Slight pitting on the bridge chrome. No case.

7

Fender Flame
Serial # 40200322. Built in the 80's with limited production, these guitars never got off the ground like Fender had hoped. There aren't many of these in circulation since not very many were even made. This guitar was seemingly played and well loved, likely by a rhythm rocker from what I can tell by the wear. The finish is outstanding with minimal blemishes. There is a bit of buckle rash which only adds to this guitar's story. All the chrome is shiny and polished like it just rolled out of the factory. The fretboard is in great condition and frets have minimal wear. This guitar has a beautiful ivory binding all around. Guitar has great action and plays beautifully. 25" scale length. I've been unable to accurately date this guitar by the serial number, which is common for these Japanese-era Fenders. There is a "2" stamped into the back of the headstock. Pot codes are MIMΩ 41K. All switches, pickups and knobs function as they should. Original HS case included with Fender Master Series brochure. This guitar was born to rock!

8

1963 Fender Jazzmaster
This Jazz Master has all the character you would ever want in a guitar. It's had a refinish and refret, but it's unclear as to when this took place. Not greatest fret job but the guitar plays nicely with no buzzing up and down the neck. Trem plate has patent # 2,972,923. This instrument must have endless stories to tell as it seems to have been a true player. The neck has a great patina to it, as does the headstock. There is even evidence of a cigarette burn just below the E tuning peg. Pots are Stackpole Electronics #'s 304-6336 & 304-6222 which corresponds with 1962-63 production dates. The rosewood fingerboard and clay dot inlays are just loaded with character. Looks like some fingernail marks on the lower frets. The neck plate has been replaced and, after finding the date codes I was looking for on the pots, I decided to not remove the neck to inspect that s/n. The neck seems original to the instrument, however the logo was painted over and replaced with a decal. Plugged in, this guitar has the phenomenal tone Jazzmasters are known for. All knobs, pickups and switches function properly, but could use a cleaning. The hard shell case is in decent condition but may not be the original.

9

1974 Fender Mustang
Serial # 617563. This Mustang is in overall excellent condition. The finish has some very light scratches, but nothing major by any means. Some minor wear in the lower frets, but frets have lots of life left. Rosewood and maple varnish are in great shape. A couple minor scuffs and a very small ding in headstock. Pot codes 1377429. Guitar plays and sounds great. Everything functions. Hard case included.

10

1971 Fender Jaguar
Serial # 309312. There is some minor finish checking and a few small nicks on the body. Neck varnish is in great shape other than a few small nicks. It's not nearly as common to see these Jaguars in anything other than a burst finish, and this color combo is so cool. Frets have some considerable wear, but the rosewood is in nice condition and would benefit from a deep clean and condition. Pot codes 137-6636. Guitar plays and sounds great but will need a proper setup and electronics cleaning. 24" scale length. Trem plate PAT# 2,972,923. Hard case included
