Vintage guitars for sale: Manchester

This 62 Strat was my late father??s, he passed away in 2008 and it??s been sat around since. It was a working guitar, it was messed with and won??t be 100% original. What I can tell you is this guitar was with my father throughout his life, he went out to buy a pram for my sister and bought this instead. It??s a real working guitar that tells a story. He put a bigger pickup in it, he had it redone a few times over its life but it??s 100% original body, neck and other bits. A lot of people have ... more

1977 Fender Precision bass guitar in Olympic White Great example of the classic guitar and this one definitely gives off punky vibes. The neck and body both stamped showing they are all original and a matching pair. In fact the only thing not original to the guitar are the cream Di-Marzio pick ups which are the PAF type and were probably installed shortly after it was first bought. There is also a small toggle switch next to the volume and tone pots that would have been put in at the same time. ... more

Yamaha SG 800 Serial No 001921
I have had this rare guitar for around 5 years but have barely used it so it's time for a new owner. It's in great shape for its age. See photos for any scratches but there aren't many and definitely nothing major. It plays fine. As I haven't played it in a while I remember a problem with one of the coil taps which may need a look at. It comes with an old battered hard case

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

The Goodmans speakers sound great, both working well. Really cool old vintage cab, I??ve never been able to find any information about the maker / company K F

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