Never thought I??d part with this but needs must. Players grade ES330T, sounds and plays amazing and has been well used, intonation spot on and frets in good nick - assuming they??re not the originals. Has had a headstock break at some point but super stable and seems to be well repaired- you wouldn??t know unless you were looking for it. Sold to me as a 1959 but I believe it??s more likely to be a 1960, serial no sticker is long gone.... more

A very rare opportunity to purchase what is a 'Holy Grail' amp to many and also the identical model to that which Mark Knopfler played 'Sultans of Swing' on - a 1963 Fender Vibrolux
Fender produced these only between 1961-63, with the 'Brownface' series amps following the 'tweed' period, just before they started using black tolex. The very best, in my opinion.
The tube chart reads 'MJ', comfortably putting the date of manufacture as October 1963.
This is further the UK export version... more

Super rare Vintage Itallian guitar from 1963. The pick up selection works as it should. The trem works fine. There is a little light scratching as shown, the two knobs are cracked as shown. The truss cover only has one screw in it. It plays like a guitar from the era - not to my taste if im honest but these are so rare and super collectable. I have deliberatley left this all original as most buyers prefer this option. Collection preferred due to age of the guitar

A Gibson S-1 from 1978.
These are rare birds, dating from near the end of the Norlin period of Gibson ownership. The S-1 was a sort-of attempt at their own version of a Strat, with a bolt-on neck (with V headstock), 3 single coil pickups and some rather strange switching options
This one appears to have had and extra mini-switch added that, as far as I can work out, seems to reverse the polarity of the neck pickup. There's a very versatile set of sounds available, including bridge and ... more

For sale is a beautiful and rare Silvertone model 1457 dating from 1964, complete with its original case with built in amp
Silvertone guitars were produced by Kay / Harmony in Chicago USA, badged 'Silvertone' for sale at Sears - this is the same factory that produced Jimmy Page's iconic Danelectro 3021 (note the same 'Lipstick' pickups)
There were two versions of this model: the 1448 which was a single pickup / short scale and the 1457 which conversely was a dual pickup / full scale ... more

For sale is a super rare Arbiter Custom electric guitar, made in Japan circa 1976
This was a model built by Kasuga, as evidenced by 'K' emblem to the back of the tuners. They were factory-badged as 'Arbiter' as they were sold exclusively at Ivor Arbiter's Sound City on Shaftesbury Avenue, where the original owner (from whom I purchased it) bought it brand new in the 70s. It featured in the 1976 Kasuga catalogue as the model LG-770V. I believe a copy of it can be seen on the internet, ... more

For sale is a rare and unique Framus model - the Nashville Standard
Framus underwent some changes in the 70s - notably pursuing a bolder path with regard to 'inspiration' from American guitars. This is one such example, clearly based somewhat off a contemporary Gibson model L6 (body shape, inclusion of a 'varitone' style tone circuit). They even used 'pancake' construction in the vain of Gibson, creating the body from two pieces of wood, sandwiched together
Framus offered several ... more

... more

For sale is a wonderful Framus 'Stone Bass', dating from 1969
I believe this is one of the first mass-produced guitars to ever bear the Rolling Stones' artist name, which Framus attached to this bass following its popularity with Stones bassist, Bill Wyman. These instruments notably has incredibly thin necks, often to referred to as a 'snooker cue' profile.
Besides the Rolling Stones' provenance, these basses had some nice specs including what I believe are (factory) dual Simeto pickups.... more

You are looking at Ricardo Sanchis flamenco guitar.
Those that know guitars know the quality of Sanchis
I'm not sure of the age but suspect it's from the 1960-1970s
Very lightweight and well built.
No damage to the body just wear and tear from years of use.
It's in need of some TLC.
What I can see, the neck is well used so could do with a sand and fresh coat of varnish
The fret nut needs swapping.
The fret board could do with a sand and retreat.
Obviously new ... more

For sale an original late 60s-early 70s Martin thermoplastic 'steal me' case, so named for the big Martin logo front and centre
It is just too small for a dreadnought, but way too large for a parlour - as such I've deduced it's a case for a 000 series model (not a D-anything).
It is in decent used condition - all latches function, all 'feet' (both plastic and metal) are all present. There is the odd slight crack, but nothing causing any structural difficulties
It includes some ... more

This is almost certainly a 1969 edition of this Italian built dreadnought guitar. The triangular plate on the back, (which is part of the detachable neck system, which was the norm on these guitars), was replaced with a rectangular one with 4 screws in 1970 .
It would seem that these guitars were made by the same company that made the more famous Eko and E-Ros guitars of the same vintage
It??s in really good condition for its 57 years
Everything seems to be original, with the ... more
