This is a late 1950’s Lyric Mark V electric guitar made by Magnatone of California. This extremely rare guitar was designed by Paul Bigsby. Do a little research and see if you can find one of those with the astronomical prices they sell for, if you can find one. Here’s an opportunity to own one of Bigsby’s guitars for a fraction of the price. The Lyric models are identical to the Magnatones. Although, there are a lot of variations on parts for this model that came directly from the Magnatone factory. Knobs and pickups are the most common variations. This Mark V features a hollow, double cutaway, Mahogany body, sunburst finish front and back, two Paul Bigsby designed single coil pickups, a black plastic pickguard, two metal strap pins, Paul Bigsby designed bridge and tremolo. The guitar is all original (aside from missing series number plate and a few screws on the logo plate) and in good condition. The action is medium-fast and has an excellent range of tones with the bridge/bridge+neck/neck selector switch options. It is missing its serial number plate and the screws that hold the logo faceplate to the headstock. This gorgeous guitar plays and sounds amazing. It comes with the original hardshell case.

Magnatone Mark IX stereo guitar with two double shielded pickups repainted white, circa 1960. This early 1960's Mark IX guitar, made by Magnatone of California, was part of their Artist Series which included the Mark VII and the Mark VIII models. The very rare Mark IX, designed by Paul Barth of Rickenbacker Guitars, is unique because it has two output jacks; providing stereo output for an outstandingly versatile combination of tones, sounds and options. Description from VintageSilvertones.com When the mono/stereo switch is up to stereo, each pickup sends signal to its own output jack. You can adjust each output to your specific taste using the tone and volume knobs for each pickup. You can also plug it into two separate amps or through two different effect boxes to create truly unique tones. Of course with the flick of a switch, you can easily play in traditional mono, as well, utilizing the pickup switch to attain a great variety of tones from the high (bridge) pickup, the mellow (neck) pickup and a combination of the both. Description from VintageSilvertones.com We were told the guitar once belonged to Dee Snider of Twisted Sister but have no proof of that. The guitar, the myth, the legend! Description from VintageSilvertones.com
