This vintage 1960 Gibson Southern Jumbo delivers a classic Jumbo sound and marked the end of a era in Gibson acoustic guitar design. Featuring a spruce top over mahogany back and sides, this 14-fret slope shoulder dread is one of the last acoustics out of Kalamazoo to feature a drop-in saddle. While Gibson made adjustable saddles available as an option dating back to the mid-50s, drop-in saddles remained an option up through 1960/61, and are preferred by many players.

Here with a cherry finish neck, back and sides, this SJ was picking up design vibes from the iconic Les Paul bursts of the era, eschewing the brown finish to the back and sides of previous SJs.

We've ordered up another shred machine and our friends at Anderson Guitarworks knocked it out of the park! This Cobra S Shorty features a stunning maple top, here with the natural orange burst, over a mahogany back and sides, for that classic flame top vibe. Paired with a set of Anderson humbuckers, custom switching and a Vintage Tremolo and locking tuners this is a guitar that is ready for anything!

This vintage 1953 Martin 00-18 is one of those small-body, mystery top, Martins that punch above their weight. Featuring what is most-likely a Vermont (Red) spruce top, there's an added punch and heft to the attack on this guitar that really makes it a joy to play with a flatpick, while still having the responsiveness when played fingerstyle.

Here’s one for the crowd. This vintage, 1956 Fender Stratocaster came and went this week before we got it online, but it’s one of those too good not to share guitars. Save for one tuner, this all original Two-Tone burst is an incredible example of what a mid-50s Strat can be. Right down to the original tweed case.

If you’re looking to move part of your collection, whether selling or consigning, get in touch with the Mass Street team to help you through the process.
