guitars for sale
Precipitated in part by our upcoming move, I'm looking to sell these two guitars. The top one is a 1966(?) Harmony Rocket hollow body electric. It's tough for me to part with this guitar because it goes over the top on the cool meter. I love the old Sears brand Harmonys and Silvertones, et al. and it was my first electric guitar. It has the patina, scratches, dings, and quirks that come with 39 years of play. I've had the Rocket since it was 32 years old. I'm selling it only because I find my other electric guitar (a newer [Chinese-made] Gretsch solid body) to be more versatile for what I do as a hobbyist musician.
The bottom one is a 2001 Ibanez AEB-10 Acoustic Electric Bass Guitar. This is a fun guitar to have around, especially if you find yourself wishing you could jump in with your bluegrass friends. I can't keep up on guitar with all the chords, but on bass I can plunk the root and fifth in time on the one and three. No amp required unless you want one...it has a built in Fishman pickup/preamp.
I'm asking a little less than $200 for each. E-mail me and we can negotiate.
