1966 Gibson ES120T slimline hollow-body electric guitar
Pickup replaced with a period-correct Gibson Melody Maker (the same as the original) - these are fairly quiet and are often replace with more powerful P90s but I wanted to keep it as original as possible
Nice condition overall, some small marks but nothing considering the age
Comes in an oversize and shabby non-original case which I think is of a similar era - will have lots of padding inside as well as outside

A rare opportunity to buy an almost mint condition 1983 vertical input 2204 JCM800 head that has been re-capped, re-tubed and re-biased (receipt available).
There are one or two tiny blemishes on the tolex but hardly visible, and a scuff on the rear panel but otherwise looks almost as new, even the underside.
Owned by a friend for well over 30 years if not more, it has been cherished and lightly used. Still on its original transformers it was treated to a re-cap (original caps included ... more

As you can see it has a 5 piece neck, ebony fret board, rosewood bridge and solid spruce top, the gold tuners are as good as new, no signs of any wear.

I have owned this amp for over 10 years and am now deciding to (reluctantly) let it go to someone who will actually use it. Used extensively for college studio work and the occasional live gig, considering the age of the amp it is in amazing condition with only a few marks and small tears in the tolex. Has sat dormant in the bedroom for the past few years, I didn??t want to part with it because the clean channel is simply divine (and who doesn??t like having a half stack in their room')

Looking to find a new home for this awesome axe, sad to see it go but I just bought back a guitar I really regretted selling and I can??t justify keeping both
This is Guild??s take on an SG, probably most popularly used by Soundgarden??s Kim Thayill, who actually got his own signature version in the last couple years. Its super light, effortlessly playable and the Guild humbuckers have a very fun and unique character to them. I??ve had a handful of these newer Guilds and I??m ... more

Originally stereo but currently wired as a single 8ohm load as it was partnered with a vintage JCM800 ( amp not included - for sale in a separate listing). Unused jack input blanked off.

2-off vintage Celestion G12-125's with cambric edge / surround. 8-Ohms Owned these since 1984 and planned to use them for base drivers in a high-power hi-fi setup, but never really did.

There is no evidence on the back of the cone of any ... more
