Fender Stratocaster c1976 

This one's for those of you who like your bumps and scratches created by life on the road rather sanded in by the guys in the Fender custom shop. Classic 70s Fender looks with the chubby headstock, Rosewood veneered fingerboard and black scratch plate, whilst the hard-tail bridge and high output pickups make this a tough sounding guitar ideal for blues and hard rock. All original with some wear to the finish but no issues or repairs, and it's not as back-breaking as some 70s Fenders.

The guitar came to us in the world's ugliest hard case, which we'll be happy to pass on to you.

2003 Gibson Les Paul Standard

 Ok, we don’t really need to bore you with the details on this one. It’s a cherry sunburst Les Paul, the recent reissue with correct binding and ‘Burstbucker pickups, 60's neck profile and a lovely flame on the top. Very tidy condition, looks almost new from the front save for a bit of corrosion on the nickel plating. Remember to wipe your guitar down when you finish playing! A few belt-buckle marks on the rear but nothing unusual.

Includes original hard case.

SOLD

 Gibson's entry level jazz box throughout the 40s to the 50s and, if you're after the full, mellow tone of a 50s Gibson jazz guitar, can live without a cutaway and don't have the requisite £5000 plus for an early 50s ES-175, this is going to be the one to look for. The acoustic tone is sweet and lively, if a little quiet in comparison to a carved top guitar.

The guitar has suffered a (long since reglued) loose treble side brace, resulting in a small amount of table sinkage. It's not particularly noticeable, and there's no risk of it getting any worse. It also looks as though a previous owner has learned the hard way that it's a good idea to loop the end of your lead through your strap to avoid any disasters when you step on the lead mid solo - the jack input is mounted into an oversized plate that hides a missing piece of mahogany where the jack was originally mounted. Other than that, the usual Gibson lacquer checking and a set of decent replacement tuners, condition is good and it's set to go many more years into the future. SOLD

June 1989 Rickenbacker 381 6-string Fireglo finish - SOLD
A rare and beautiful beast this. The absolute pinnacle of Rickenbacker's guitar making craft with its deep carved top and back made from premium charactered maple. The cosmetics are lavish with chequered binding and shark fin fingerboard inlays. The action is light and easy and when plugged in the toaster top pickups impart that tight bright Ricky jangle magnificently. This guitar, although it has seen a life on the road, has been well loved and looked after and it wears the few scars it has earned with pride. Original case included.
