Remarkably clean and rare Kelly 100Watt valve head with matching 212 Fane cabinet. (1970??s)
From what i've gleamed John Kelly worked as a technician for Selmer before starting his own business through the 60's and early 70's  Largely the amplifiers were direct clones of Selmer, this one believed to be a ?Treble n?? Bass?? schematic with the addition of a reverb tank. I??ve not seen another Kelly like this, which leads me to believe it was special or custom order

Squier JV Stratocaster 1982. She's beautiful but I'm trying to reduce my collection. The tremolo arm is not original and a bit stiff but I'm sure a setup can fix this. There a few scratches you can see in one of the pics. Comes with the non original case that in the picture.... more

Burns Vibra Artist Guitar 1960 Gold Refin.

Genuine vintage Burns Vibra Artist from 1960

A classic price of British rock n roll!

This one has been refinished in Gold which fades to black on the back of the neck. I suspect it was done a long time ago as the finish has a fair amount of subtle checking and has seemingly aged nicely. It??s not the neatest of finishes if you look very closely but overall it has a very cool and unique look. These guitars would have ... more

Vintage 1960s Hagström Futura / Futurama / Kent 3 pickup guitar. Overall good condition for its age, great sounding ceramic pickups and quirky filter / tone circuit similar to a Fender Jaguar. There are various cracks and dings on the finish due to its age, you can check it in the pictures. It's by no means a mint guitar but the exposed pink undercoat is very cool / vibey in my opinion. Please enlarge the last few pictures for details of the condition

Dallas Arbiter Soundcity 50 PA plus valve head from 1972
These have Passive EQ controls so are more similar in sound to the mk3, and dare I say it better for guitar than the standard mk4 50+ / 120 head with their active / noisy EQ??s

its also really not very hard to convert these into Hiwatt specs, the... more

1960s Dallas Solid Special guitar.

This example is in its original metallic red finish. It??s been touched up here and there, not in a professional way, but this doesn??t really detract from its overall appearance. It was going to be refinished but instead, to retain its original look, it's been deep cleaned, polished and finished with specialist compounds. It looks great. In terms of ... more

My amazing Westone Thunder 1A with psychedelic motorcycle-style custom paint job is a truly unique guitar
As you can tell by the serial number, this is the 1982 model, made in Japan in the famous Matsutmoku factory. The other giveaway is the brass nut - from 1983 (I think) they moved to plastic for this part. And don't underestimate the difference this makes - the brass nut makes it sing! Sustain for days!
But it's time to admit this is more guitar than I need - a genuine beast! - and I ... more
