Vintage guitars for sale: Nottingham

Here??s a chance to pick up a really nice and well lookedafter player grade 1962 Fender Stratocaster which I am selling on behalf of anold bandmate.
He purchased the guitar in Manchester in 1966 and has ownedit ever since. When he bought it, it had been refinished white as many Fenderimports were, and it was missing the headstock decal.
The guitar that he bought was otherwise completely original
A few changes have been made to the guitar over the years:
In 1967 the low E string ... more

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

This is a rare early example from the Matsumoku factory in fantastic condition, sounds and plays great. It??s been in the family for 30 years but it??s now time for it to find a new home.
This is the very year and model used by Noel Gallagher during the very early years of Oasis so you can be rest assured that it??s an awesome instrument!

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

This is my original vintage Fender Telecaster from the 1970s, made in the USA during the CBS era. It??s an authentic example of Fender??s classic craftsmanship with no aftermarket parts or modifications. The serial number on the neck plate is 633450, which places it firmly in the 70s, though Fender??s serial system from that time was inconsistent and often doesn??t show results on their website. The headstock features the large bold CBS-style Fender logo with the patent numbers DES 164227, 2, ... 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

For sale is a rare and elusive Gibson model L6-S, dating from 1973 (the first year of issue), made in USA. While later 70s models were made in the newly-opened Nashville factory, the very first models (including this one) were however made in Kalamazoo - the very same factory that had produced Gibson's legendary guitars of the 50s and 60s
Having developed their relationship with legendary employee Tim Shaw, Gibson tasked him with the designing of a new guitar for the new decade. The result ... more

A very rare Kay 5935 'Deluxe' model electric bass guitar, dating from 1963 (made in Chicago, USA)
A beautiful short scale (30') bass produced by Kay in order to compete with its American contemporaries. These models featured a closed hollow body, a feature unique to a lot of Harmony / Kay models of the period which facilitates the hollow body sound, but without the feedback. As such, these guitars are generally lighter than their solid body equivalents and are a joy to play
This example ... more

Harmony H71 Meteor model electric guitar, dating from 1961 and made in Chicago, USA
This was Harmony's high end model thinline electric guitar, built to an excellent standard with top quality components. Most notable among these features were dual factory-fitted Dearmond / Rowe Industries pickups and the use of solid Spruce for the top, resulting in a really sweet sound.
Contemporary players include Keith Richards, who had a Sunburst model and of course Dave Davies of The Kinks - who can... more

For sale is a beautiful Tokai TTE55L-BB (Black) 'Breezysound' model left handed electric guitar, made in Japan circa 1985 (Tokai Gakki, Japan)
A fantastic, original and rare Tokai model dating from the peak of their 'Golden' years at the height of the notorious 'Lawsuit' period of Japanese guitar production. If I'm not mistaken, it was Tokai's incredibly faithful production of 60s electric guitars that spurred Fender to initiate their JV / Japanese production line, so to compete against ... more
