Guitar
These Premiers are quite rare and this one is very pretty. I love the tailpiece and the fixed adjustable bridge probably helps quite a bit (though it lowers the collectible value). These are not heavily collected so it is really a matter of taste but I personally like the look and construction of this guitar quite a bit.
Note: Seller says that he is the original owner and I don't see any reason not to believe him.
2nd Note: I apologize to my regular readers that I haven't been posting much the last few months. I've ben busy writing a novel and all my free time has gone to that project. I am almost finished my first draft so I will be back on this blog more frequently in the new year. - Jim C.

- 1958 Silvertone-kay 620 Jumbo Acoustic In Austin Tx For $300
This seller is offering a Silvertone 620 which is indeed a rare jumbo sized acoustic with all solid woods from the late 1950's. The big block inlays on the rosewood fretboard put this guitar well above the average vintage Silvertone acoustic out there. ...
- 1958 Gibson Ga-5 Tube Combo Amp In Grand Rapids, Michigan For $250
This is a 1958 Gibson GA-5 Skylark - a real tweed era amp for a decent price. This one looks to be a "transition" Skylark because it still has the Tweed Cabinet but not the exact same TV front design as the original Les Paul Jr. Amp. The...
- Gibson Les Paul Special In Victoria Tx For $350
This looks like a late 90's or early 2000's Gibson Les Paul Special. The picture is fuzzy but it's probably the lightly finished Mahogany version they sold through MF for $600 back in the day. That bridge pickup has been...

Vintage 1958 Premier Hollow Body Electric guitar
My Father bought me this guitar in 1958 and I have been playing it ever since.
Back in the old days many guitars were sold by sears and the five&dime stores.
The better instruments were sold in music shops. premier sold side by side with Gibson.
Before I listed it I took it to a guitar repair shop. The owner was amazed at how rock solid and stable this guitar is. He has an online info page.
His name is Dave Fecca Guitar repair of Moorestown NJ.
Everything is original..except..the guitar repair replaced some wiring. Also, twenty years ago I replaced the bridge with an adjustable one which allows for better intonation and action changes.
The binding needs to be replaced if it bothers you, it never did me and it does not seem to affect the sound.
You can't beat these old woods for sound. This is original 1950s when rock first started. Elvis and Chuck Berry was the reason I started playing. Live a little history with this guitar that has given me so much and made me a lot of money playing gigs.
Original hard case and Free shipping.
Good luck bidding. Don't lose out.
