Vintage guitars for sale: Nottingham

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

For sale is an incredibly rare first year Epiphone model EA-7P 'Professional' electric guitar, dating from 1962
A short-lived run by Epiphone under their ownership by Gibson - made in Kalamazoo, Michigan side by side with the ES-335 models of the year.
Being from '62, it features the very desirable 'wide' nut profile as seen on Epiphones with the 'short' headstock style (this would change in 1963, 1-2 years before it did for Gibson models)
It shares the 335 body shape and is near ... more

For sale is an exceedingly rare pre-war, pre-Gibson 1940 Epiphone model FT-30, made in USA (NY)
Built by Epiphone prior to their acquisition by Gibson in 1957, when they were a small team of artisan builders producing mainly jazz guitars out of New York City. Gibson found them to be such a commendable foe that they purchased them and lent the name to their own guitars during the 1960s
This is further a 'Pre-War' guitar (that being prior to America's involvement by December 1941) and ... more

1975 Fender precision Bass Serial N0 626234
One owner for the last 50 years ?? Me!
This is ?my baby?? which I??ve reluctantly decided needs to be sold and played again before I die and the kids give it away !
With that in mind, I sent it to ?the shop?? for a quick presale check-up ?? as I didn??t want to sell it on if it had any issues. Good job I did ??it seems that 50 years of sweat had taken its toll (see pictures)
What followed was a full nut and bolt strip down and rebuild (see... 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
I will ship internationally ... more

A highly underrated and exceptionally clean Gibson model ES-225T, dating from 1956
A rare Gibson model, produced briefly only from 1955-59 and being replaced by the very similar ES-125TC
This is the single pickup variant (an ES-225T, rather than 225-TD which was the dual-pickup version), with a hot P90 in the centre position
As above, it is very clean for a 50s Gibson, retaining its original unfaded Sunburst finish still with a factory sheen. It features a fully hollow body and a ... more

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

This Marshall vintage style DSL 40c 1x12 valve combo amplifier is a high-quality electric guitar amplifier.

For sale is a WEM SL-40 unit, dating from circa 1970s (made in England)
These amps acted as a power stage for the PA / ER40 amps, driving a separate pair of columns for extra output
Serviced by Coopersonic Nottingham, who cleaned it, fitted a new conventional mains inlet (rather than having to rely on an elusive Bulgin-style) and replaced one volume pot with a vintage equivalent
Fully functional and comes complete with its original cover (a rare find in its own right)

Case is in very good condition for its age, the only thing of note is that the lock latches have been changed to slightly later English made Cheney ( with key included). The case is too small for a Telecast or a Strat and just too small for an SG junior.
I was told it would fit a Futurama. I cannot confirm this but I??d say this was the early model which is 38-1 / 2?? full length. I acquired it many years ago for a later six in line model which is a longer instrument and did not fit. I ... more

WEM Watkins Copicat Tape Echo Delay Unit Vintage 1970s + Instructions
A decent example of a WEM Watkins Copicat Echo delay machine. This does have a plug but I've not applied power to it as I didn't want to risk damaging the internal componants, as I'm sure it's not been used for many years. Also I haven't got the relevant equipment to test it with. I did take a look inside (see photos) and it appears all original and very clean and tidy
The case is OK for its age, with some scuffs and a ... 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
