Where we come from a guitar in this condition and 40 plus years old is considered mint! I am calling it near mint as there are some factory finish blemishes very hard to notice. As far as playing wear? There is none. This guitar is not quite right out of the box new, it just appears to be new.

Fully original and out of a smoke free temperature controlled storage unit. I have been selling this vintage collector's estate for over 5 years and the client had very good taste.

All set up with fresh Ernie Ball .10-.46 strings, a seasoned fretboard, and a perfectly balanced Floyd Rose tremelo. Ready to R&R my friends! The original case is almost flawless as well.

A very RARE time machine of a guitar and a great investment.

The guitar actually looks even better in person with that deeper darker metallic finish and not as blue.

Visit our new secured still under construction website to see the long list of celebrity musicians and groups we have met and serviced in the past 40 years. 

NOTE: Too cool. Late last summer we shipped a 1967 MapleGlo Rickenbacker 6-12 Converter 'comb' guitar to Billy Corigan of Smashing Pumpkins! We also then shipped a vintage 50 watt Marshall head to L.A. studio-touring guitarist extraodinaire, Michael Landau, and 2 vintage guitars to Jack White's organization down in Nashville just a few days before his 50th. birthday! mmm? Add 'The Kentucky Head Hunters' to the list, just sold Greg a cool little 50's Valco tube combo amp!

Gordy's Music has become a Detroit institution! Our shop was used as a filming location for a few films like "Miracle in Motor City" a Christmas movie on Lifetime (featuring Smoky Robinson). We've supplied gear for movies including "Bill & Ted Face The Music" with Keanu Reeves. We've got decades of celebrity customers, including recent visits from Beck, Eric Johnson, and we recently sold Billy Joel's bassist a cool Gibson SG he is in love with. One day a while back Andre 3000 and his group stopped in to browse as they were playing Masonic Temple that night and right after that we sold an old oil can Morley Wah Vibrato pedal to Credence Clearwater Revival's thee John Fogerty!

We are having and have had a lot of fun here at Gordy's Music! I was just remembering about 35 years ago a tour bus pulled up to our little shop, and who rolls right in and hangs out for an hour? Lenny Kravitz and his entire group, right about the same time I was selling many guitars to and chauffeuring around Dee Dee Ramone who had an apartment a block down from my house.
