🎸 Throwback to the Underdog:
The Gibson Sonex (1980–1984) 🎸

Not your average Gibson...and that’s exactly the point.

Born in the early ‘80s as Gibson’s bold step into affordable innovation, the Sonex broke the mold with its Resonwood body over a mahogany core, delivering killer sustain with a punk-rock attitude.

Built in the USA 🇺🇸, this was Gibson’s answer to changing times — rugged, road-ready, and unapologetically different.

• Available with Velvet Brick or Dirty Fingers humbuckers
• Unique Multi-phonic construction
• Bolt-on neck (unusual for Gibson!)
• Made from 1980–1984 only

Whether you see it as a cult classic or an overlooked gem, the Sonex is pure vintage attitude ....and it’s finally getting the love it deserves.

Astro’s on the mend, and we’re back in action!

There’s nothing we love more than getting the right gear into the right hands — and today, we delivered a true vintage gem: a 1969–1970 Fender CFA 7001 PA system.

This classic unit features four channels with mid and low EQ, reverb and gain controls, a VU meter, and selectable reverb — all packed into a beautifully aged chassis. Originally built as a 600W PA amplifier to pair with Fender 7001-C speaker cabinets, it’s found new life as a fantastic guitar and keyboard amp. And yes, it sounds just as good as it looks.

Sorry folks, this one’s already spoken for.

But don’t worry — we’ve got Calgary’s largest and best selection of used vintage gear, including Fender, Gibson, Vox, Marshall, Boss, and more.

Stay tuned… some incredible finds are on the way in the upcoming weeks.

Thanks for sticking with us -Astro
