Gibson - NB - Due to changes in Gibson's European distribution we will not be getting any more NEW Gibson, Epiphone or Dobro guitars for the foreseeable future. We will however be trying to get more second hand and vintage stock so keep checking back. That's the tactful version anyway, my manager would have used some naughty words.

Instruments currently in stock:
Gibson ES-335 2006 The classic Gibson thin-line in sumptuous cherry. The wooden bits are absolutely immaculate – we can’t find a mark on it. The hardware is suffering from the common problem of Gibson’s nickel plating dissolving when it comes into contact with human sweat, but it doesn’t look too bad and the nicest flamed Maple we’ve seen on a 335 for a fair while more than makes up for it.  Includes the original hard case, also in immaculate condition. £1499
ES 335 Diamond in Pelham Blue	Les Paul Special Double Cut P90 Faded Cherry
2005 Les Paul Special P90 Faded Cherry Immaculate condition, barely used. Purchased from ourselves originally. If we weren't quite so full of scruples we'd pass this off as new. As it is you can have yourself a real bargain. Includes Gibson gig bag. £650
Instruments, now sold,  that have previously graced our walls:
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
ES 335 Lightburst. Yum. SOLD	1968 EB0 Bass Second Hand (obviously), very good condition, bridge humbucker added. SOLD
c. 1953 Gibson ES125  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 laquor checking and a set of decent replacement tuners, condition is good and it's set to go many more years into the future. SOLD
