Here’s something of a rare bird - a Time Guitars “Prime Time” Fretless Bass!

Famously the shop where Paul Languedoc started building guitars professionally, Time Guitars was founded in the early 70s and built acoustic and electric guitars and basses in Vermont until the late 1980s. This particular example was built during Paul’s tenure at Time sometime in 1985-86, and features some of his earliest inlay work.

We’ve elected to keep this bass in its original, unmodified Fretless configuration, but we would happily cut slots and fret the instrument (with PLEK) for an additional charge.

We’ve got some excellent new items in the shop this week. First up is this gorgeous offset with nitrocellulose finish. The body is made of reclaimed wood from Holley Hall in Bristol, VT and the fretboard is made of Indian Rosewood, with a Mastery bridge, gold foil neck and bridge pickups and Gotoh tuners.
Next up is this 1977 MXR Analog Delay pedal which is in pristine condition. These pedals are highly durable which were designed to be workhorses to get that iconic temporal effect. Last, we have a Custom 2x12 Bruno cabinet that is made of select clear Pine and Antique Walnut with custom wiring for each input jack. Head to our website for more info and pricing.

Found a piece of history in the case of this 1959 Gibson ES-125 that just shipped out!

Tucked inside the original snakeskin case was the sales contract from April 1959 showing the guitar sold then for $157.50! It’s special to see vintage instruments carrying their original paperwork, it’s almost like a time capsule.

Excited for the new owner to get this wonderful instrument!
