Assorted US, UK & EU-made models
Musicman Sabre II 1979
A real oddity- with enough output to punish the biggest of amps into submission thanks to its active preamp! The preamp module features an active EQ circuit with independent volume, treble, and bass controls, as well as bright, phase reversal, and three way pick up selector switches. This II model has the vintage-spec 7.25" radius on a flat and fast 60's profile maple neck! Lots of lacquer checking on this one, but that aside overall condition is good, with some wear on the neck that makes it ridiculously comfortable to play. Private sale, includes generic gigbag.
USED £1095.00
TLGS 'Esquire' Partscaster
We lovingly put this together here from top quality parts! Warmoth 'Nocaster' profile w/ 22 frets and some incredible flaming, our own 50's spec Tele pickup, Fender bridge w/ compensated brass saddles, CTS pots, and nitro finish all over. The Capri Orange is checking nicely! Super resonant, with a proper fat neck that lets you really dig in. Note- this is not a genuine Fender product, it's a partscaster!
USED £895.00
Kiesel Carvin HH2 Allan Holdsworth Signature
As innovative as the man himself- this headless 6-string features a 20" radius ebony board, maple neck and ultra compact body, Holdsworth passive pickups that go from sparkly clean to sustaining overdrive. Ergonomic but still a somewhat traditional playing experience! Excellent condition with softcase. Private sale.
USED £1800.00
Arena (Dick Knight) custom-built Jazz guitar
An absolutely stunning bit of gear here- Arena is the name taken on by Dick Knight's son, Robbie, who continued building guitars after his father's passing. This incredible instrument is in fantastic condition, and has all the fancy features of a good old Archtop- ebony board, 2-tier trapeze tailpiece, surface-mounted pickup, and a 5-piece neck. This is as fancy as they get! Includes hardcase- private sale.
USED £2500.00
Roger Junior CA Blonde Germany 60's
You don't see many of these! Built by Wenzel Rossmeisl in Germany, who is famous for working with Rickenbacker, with that incredible German carve, stunning maple body (just check out that flame on the sides), laminated fretboard, and the original pickup. Aftermarket 70's Gibson tuners have been added, but it's in otherwise great condition for its age! A truly beautiful piece! Private sale, includes aftermarket hardcase.
USED £1695.00
G&L ASAT USA Special w/ Fishman Power Bridge piezo
A very nice USA-built Tele style from G&L here- fat and clear MFD pickups that are bold and strident, with the addition of the Fishman Powerbridge setup- giving you great acoustic-esque tones. Wonderfully versatile, with the modern playability of a 9.5" radius maple board on a slim C profile neck. Typical signs of wear with a few knicks and dings here and there, and includes a rather beefy aftermarket hardcase. Private sale.
USED £1150.00
Baldwin Vibraslim late 60's
An odd bird here! Like some love-child of a 335 and a Mosrite.
Introduced in the September 1964 catalogue, the Vibraslim was visually very similar to the preceeding TR-2 models, but instead of the latter's carved solid construction, was a pressed laminated-wood thinline archtop, which made for a much lighter and more responsive instrument, despite having a solidly-braced top. Around mid-1966 the Ultra-Sonic pickups were changed to Bar-O-Matiks, and by 1967 the guitar was completely re-designed; the body shape and pickguard changed, the neck joint changed to a bolt-on style topped with the now-standard Baldwin flattened scroll head, and a short Rezotube vibrato unit was used. Very good condition all things considered, and includes a rather hefty hardcase.
USED £1495.00
Heritage H550-ASB Kalamazoo 1998
A gorgeous 17" semi-hollow inspired by the prestigous L5- built in Kalamazoo like the old Gibsons! Ebony board, split-block inlays, Schaller hardware and pickups, gorgeous nitro autumn sunburst finish with a very fancy flamed pickguard, 3-piece maple neck- a jazzers dream! Excellent used condition, and includes OHSC and paperwork. Private sale.
USED £2500.00
Hofner President w/ Bigbsy 1955
Made famous by George Harrison and distributed in the UK by Selmer, these Hofners were once seen in dancehalls across the country! This one is in fantastic condition for it's age, and has some very cool features we've not seen before- just check out the thumbwheel-adjustable pickups! It plays great- these baseball bat necks become familiar far quicker than one would initially expect. Includes non original hardcase.
USED £ON HOLD for John
G&L SC-3 1986
Leo's refined take on the Strat- 3 incredible sounding MFD pickups that give you unrivalled clarity, nitro finish, ebony board, 7.25" radius- a vintage feel despite the 80's aesthetic. A few touch ups to the finish here and there, but plays fantastically and give you something different within well-chartered terrain. Includes the original hardcase (one broken latch).
