Fender, Squier & Gretsch Guitars
Fender Japan '71ri Stratocaster w/ TLGS pickups '94-'95
This wicked '71 reissue from the mid-nineties has all the CBS-era specs we know and love- large headstock, 'bullet' trussrod, 3-bolt neck, and a gorgeous 3-tone sunburst finish. The pickups have been replaced with our very own late 60's 'Isabella' handwound set- clear as a bell and possibly our favourite spec! Typical signs of use- the finish has been flatted and polished for a 'V.O.S' look, and the scratchplate has yellowed as they do, but plays wonderfully and is currently set up in D-standard, but will be setup to your spec on request.
USED £850.00
Squier JV Stratocaster Ocean Turquoise Metallic '83
You don't see these often! The 70's reissues usually came under the 'SQ' series a few years later, so to find a 'JV' one is rare! And very lovely it is too! The pickups have been rewound to late 60's Fender spec, and it's got an incredible Wudtone tremolo. The finish has sank into the wood here and there, and there's typical dings etc, but good condition overall and includes a non-original hardcase.
USED £1250.00
Fender Stratocaster hardtail 1974
Super 70's! Ash body, Dimarzio bridge pickup, toggle switch that allows the bridge pickup to be brought-in in any position, some slight additional routing, but otherwise all good and proper! As they usually are, it's no featherweight but it's far from the heaviest we've had in, and the neck is fast and slick. Plenty of play-wear with good reason! Includes non original hardcase. Private sale.
£2795.00
Fender AVRI '62 Custom Telecaster Ice Blue Metallic
Oh mamma! This gorgeous IBM Tele has greened over nicely- the custom colour is super iridescent, and you could fall into it if you stare long enough! From approx 2012, this double-bound beauty has all the typical vintage specs- 7.25" radius, 3-saddle bridge, Pure Vintage '62 pickups that sound phenomenal, and that gorgeous nitro metallic finish. A fair few dings- it's clearly been played, and the switch tip has been changed as well as a jumbo refret. Includes original case and ashtray bridge cover. Private sale.
USED £1495.00
Fender Telecaster 1978 natural
An absolutely banging 70's Tele here- and a reasonable weight at 8.1lbs! Original pickups and 1meg pots, replacement knobs, switch tip and nut. A couple of dings in the fretboard that don't really affect playability in our opinion, and by God this bridge pickup kicks out a punch. Twang city! Includes non-original Fender hardcase.
USED £2750.00
Fender USA Standard Telecaster- owned/signed by Pauli Rantasalmi of The Rasmus
Not your usual Tele here! Besides being a gorgeous Daphne Blue finish (rarely seen on Teles), this 1995 model was owned by The Rasmus original guitarist Pauli Rantasalmi and used in their video for 'F-F-F-Falling'! As one of Finland's biggest rock bands of the Millenium, this is something that doesn't wonder into our shop every day! The guitar was serviced a while back (pots and output jack replaced). There's a fair amount of 'mojo' that we're told has its origins in that rather energetic video performance. We can clean it up and restring on request (we just didn't want to rid it of any of its history). Private sale.
USED £2500.00 now £2200.00
Fender American Professional II Stratocaster
A classic that's been tuned up for the demands of the modern player! V-Mod II pickups that deliver bell-like clarity but with warmth and body, the addition of a Push/Push tone control which lets you add in the neck pickup to positions 1 and 2, Deep-C profile neck with rolled fingerboard edges, 9.5" radius on the gorgeous semi-satin neck, contoured heel, improved 2-point tremolo. Near-mint condition with moulded hardcase and paperwork. Private sale.
USED but mint £1250.00
Fender Musicmaster 1974 Dakota Red
These student models have a following of their own- and for good reason! A spanky, articulate sound from the neck singlecoil, and the 24" scale makes it a breeze to play, with a fairly substantial mid-60's profile neck. There's a fair amount of checking and dings to the awesome Dakota Red finish, and it plays fabulously. And as a bonus- the neck pocket fit is nice without the bags of room some of these early 70's Fenders had! Private sale, includes gigbag.
USED £1500.00
Fender FSR Rustic Ash American Standard Stratocaster 2013
A striking 'cookies 'n 'cream' style Strat- with a gorgeous lightweight Ash body in Trans Olympic White, Texas Special pickups, aluminium pickguard, semi-satin finish to the back of the neck, and the typical USA standard appointments such as 2-point trem and 9.5" radius fretboard. Not only is it a killer playing Strat, but it's one hell of a looker too! In great used condition, with OHSC and paperwork.
USED £1395.00 £1150.00
Fender Stratocaster International Series Maui Blue
The 80's are here to stay! The International Series was a run of funky colours produced in the late 70's-early 80's, and this hardtail beast is like a Strat on steroids- more heft and sustain than it's tremolo'd counterparts. This one's in very good condition- there's a few dings here and there, but to be expected from a 44 year old rocker. And it even includes the original hardshell case and leaflet! Private sale.
USED £2500.00
Squier Japan HSS Stratocaster '93-'94
We love a Fat Strat, and these early 90's Japanese models are particularly notable for their fantastic-feeling necks. The finish has smoothed out to a wonderful semi-satin, and it's a joy to play. The HSS setup gives you plenty of versatility, from balls-out power in the bridge to glassy cleans in the neck. Plenty of nicks and dings, but plays fab. Private sale.
USED £575.00 £425.00
Squier Classic Vibe 50's Stratocaster with upgrades
The Classic Vibe's Squiers are fantastic value as-is, but this one's had one hell of an upgrade- a roasted maple Guitar Anatomy neck that feels silky smooth and has a nice rounded 60's profile. And that's not all- a set of Tonerider pickups that sound fantastic, and a lovely M.O.P scratchplate to set it all off. Great condition, and includes a gigbag.
USED £395.00
Gretsch Electromatic G5230T Broadway Jade Metallic
A little stunner! Chambered mahogany body, powerful Blaktop Filter'tron pickups, a Bigsby for all your wiggley needs, and a stunning custom metallic finish. There is one ding on the back that was there when the owner bought it, but it is in otherwise very good condition. Private sale.
USED £375.00
Fender American Vintage II '63 Telecaster
A beautiful Tele from the 2nd run of one of Fenders most celebrated series! Narrow-spaced 'clay dot' inlays, round-lam 7.25" radius rosewood board, Pure Vintage '63 pickups with plenty of twang and warmth in the bridge and neck respectively, gorgeous nitro Sunburst finish, 3-saddle bridge- this is one hell of a Telecaster! Good used condition with a few dings (mainly on the bottom near the output jack) and some finish wear to the lower-left bout, and includes the original hardcase and candy.
USED £1650.00
Fender Custom Shop ltd. edition '62 Stratocaster Relic
Top-tier stuff here: wonderfully reliced nitro Sea Foam Green finish, a trio of incredible Bone Tone handwound pickups, 7.25"-9" compound radius on a slab maple board narrow-tall frets, and a 60's oval 'C' profile neck. The worn gold hardware just really ties this one together! Excellent condition with CS case, COA etc. Private sale.
USED £ON HOLD for Donavan
Fender Eric Johnson Strat
A superbly spec'd-out signature model from one of the greatest guitarists of our time. Meticulously fine-tuned for maximum playability- 12" radius, tall frets, specially-voiced pickups with a hotter bridge position, thin nitro finish in Tropical Turqoise, and staggered tuners for tuning stability. This one has some slight superficial lacquer damage to the headstock from when it was bought new (staff-afflicted apparently), but is in otherwise fantastic condition. And just check out that bound neck!
USED £1695.00

Fender Classic 60's 'Rosewood' Telecaster w/ mods
A George Harrison-style Tele that's had the Nashville treatment- with a middle pickup added and switches to bring that pickup in all positions and another switch for phase. A great, versatile Tele. There's a few chips to the finish here and there, and some lifting to the lamination near the bottom on the front- player's grade! Includes a nice but fairly worn Tweed hardcase. Includes a selection o scratchplates, including the black original should you wish to restore it to factory aesthetics
