Beautiful, high-end true semi-acoustic guitar by Yamaha. Extremely rare. I??ve never seen one of these in the UK in this colour. I think based on serial number, and the Pearl series only being made between 1971-1972 that this is a 1971 guitar

Has had other tuners in the past but now has vintage correct tuners. Dent to neck pickup, which I??ve tried to picture - doesn??t affect the sound. Otherwise, has dents and wear to the body and neck as you??d expect from a 54 year old guitar. ... more

up for grabs is my 1960s vintage hofner in wild rock'n'roll off-white fake crocodile vinyl, I bought this over a year ago from Germany as my back up guitar but decided it really wasn't right to take it out to shows and do it damage. the seller informed me it had been set up by philthy guitars in Burgstetten, a hofner specialist. I have kept the original flatwounds they put on as this was recommended but they are a little dull now. Overall in great condition but I must add there are a few ... more

Nice low action and plays well, the fretboard is absolutely stunning and one of the nicest ones I??ve played, really great for jazz guitar (Charlie Christian etc). Also has a nice sound for folk / fingerpicking and I mostly played it unplugged but of course it has lovely warm / vintage sound when plugged in
Being an old guitar there are some things to be aware of - firstly a scratch on the front (see photos) ... more

Thanks for checking out the auction for this, all original Framus 5 / 19 Star Bass dated via the Framus site as 1960 The short scale bass plays really well and has a full round sound with the on board controls having a big effect It is currently strung with round wound strings and would benefit from a set of flats As you can see from the pictures the gorgeous gold burst paintwork is checked and there are some chips commensurate with a bass of this age It has been well loved and played and needs... more

Both speaker cones look to be in good shape from what I can see peering through the ... more
