Fender Jazzmaster, dating from 1964-65 with original hard case
Previously owned by an uncredited session musician operating during the 60s who purchased it from new and had it professionally refinished in the 70s. It has since had a period-correct transitional decal added, as the original wasn't present and assumably lost during the original refinish. Interestingly, this guitar had left the factory as a custom colour Black model (as evidenced by the neck pocket and tremolo cavity), special ... more

This Strat plays great thanks to big frets, a flat 10" radius and a comfy 1965 style C shape neck. The frets are good and full, the neck is straight and the action is low. The pickups sound awesome with alot of body and defintion in the middle and neck   This was a recent trade in from one of my customers. It has seen very, very little use and is super nice

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

A very rare bird - a 1978 Guild D25 model (mahogany), with a factory-ordered double pickguard

I??ve seen a few D25 models with a double pickguard, but they??re more often a later addition / player modification. However, this one was factory ordered as such, as evidenced by the inner label and its retained factory hang tag, both of which denote it as a double pickguard special order

Specs:

Factory ordered double pickguardMahogany finish (though ?Mahogany?? is ... more

Super rare Vox Phantom IV model bass guitar, made in Italy (1967)
A super rare Vox bass, I believe made only from 1967-68. This model is unique for being the first to feature Vox's onboard effects, namely a screaming (and working!) distortion / fuzz switch and a treble / bass booster switch. It also features an on board 'G' tuner - which is currently disconnected (and not of much utility to a modern player, anyway)
This model was favoured by Bill Wyman and he can be seen playing one in ... more

Vintage 1982 Washburn HB-35 MiJ

Low action and plays really well ,these pickups are superb
Tuners have been upgraded to nicely aged 1980s Grovers
These are difficult to date accurately , from the label the serial number after research suggests 1982 which would mean made in Japan or possible one of the first Korean models during this transition period
A joy to play and quality... more

Selmer De Luxe model lap steel guitar, dating from 1939
