1985 Ibanez Destroyer DT155. I've had this guitar since I was 11 or 12 (I am 35 now). My Dad bought it for me from a pawnshop in ~ 2000. It has seen a lot of stage time, and brought me a lot of joy. I've played the crap out of it, but now it just sits in the case. I reckon today is the first time I've played it in over 5 years; still in tune!! It might be time to pass it along if the price is right. I'm definitely not in a hurry to get rid of it. Lots of great memories with this thing.

£2400

The 1985 Gibson Explorer Electric Guitar holds a special place in my heart. Purchased brand new from one of the iconic guitar shops on Denmark Street in London, this guitar became an essential part of my music career.

Over the years, the color has faded beautifully to a delicate shade of peach, ... more
