Auction Highlights You Can’t Miss


A rare finish and short-scale design make this Melody Maker Bass a standout. Lightweight, punchy, and dressed in Gibson’s most eye-catching color of the late ’60s, it’s both a player’s workhorse and a collector’s prize.

From the tail end of Fender’s CBS era, this Jazzmaster captures the offset vibe with vintage pickups and a well-preserved patina. Its wide single coils deliver that signature surfy depth, making it a must-have for players chasing authentic vintage tone.


Built at the height of the Depression, the L-30 brought Gibson archtop tone to everyday players. With its carved spruce top and warm midrange bark, it’s a pre-war gem that bridges history and playability. Ends October 2.

A one-off American Standard Stratocaster finished by the famed guitar designer (who is now the head of BC Rich’s custom shop) for the 1994 the NAMM conference. Bold, artistic, and stage-ready, this Strat is as collectible as it is playable. Ends October 1.
