Take your pick from a slew of Gretsch guitars and some classic amps, too.
Rockabilly guitar hero Brian Setzer – frontman of the Stray Cats and Brian Setzer Orchestra – is selling some super-rare guitar gear from his vast collection on Reverb.
The suitably titled Official Brian Setzer Reverb Shop - which goes live August 26 - is set to feature a string of Gretsch electric guitars used by Setzer himself over the course of his career, as well as a selection of amps, including a 1963 Fender Bassman with a 2x12 cab and a Vox '60s AC30.
Here's a chance for you to secure a piece of history for your guitar rack. Check out the full list of included items below, and head over to Reverb for more info.
