Vintage guitars for sale: Nottingham

Here??s a chance to pick up a really nice and well lookedafter player grade 1962 Fender Stratocaster which I am selling on behalf of anold bandmate.
He purchased the guitar in Manchester in 1966 and has ownedit ever since. When he bought it, it had been refinished white as many Fenderimports were, and it was missing the headstock decal.
The guitar that he bought was otherwise completely original
A few changes have been made to the guitar over the years:
In 1967 the low E string ... more

Never thought I??d part with this but needs must. Players grade ES330T, sounds and plays amazing and has been well used, intonation spot on and frets in good nick - assuming they??re not the originals. Has had a headstock break at some point but super stable and seems to be well repaired- you wouldn??t know unless you were looking for it. Sold to me as a 1959 but I believe it??s more likely to be a 1960, serial no sticker is long gone.... more

Gibson CMT (Curly Maple Top) 'The V' Flying V model, dating from 1982
A super rare and limited (1981-84) run of Flying V models produced by Gibson featuring top-end appointments, notably a gorgeous curly maple top as the CMT moniker denotes. These models were also paired with factory-fitted Gibson 'Dirty Fingers' pickups, highly desirable in their own right.
It further originates from 1982, a year in which Gibson are considered to have recovered from the lesser-favoured 'Norlin-era' ... more

Super rare Vintage Itallian guitar from 1963. The pick up selection works as it should. The trem works fine. There is a little light scratching as shown, the two knobs are cracked as shown. The truss cover only has one screw in it. It plays like a guitar from the era - not to my taste if im honest but these are so rare and super collectable. I have deliberatley left this all original as most buyers prefer this option. Collection preferred due to age of the guitar
I will ship internationally ... more

A Gibson S-1 from 1978.
These are rare birds, dating from near the end of the Norlin period of Gibson ownership. The S-1 was a sort-of attempt at their own version of a Strat, with a bolt-on neck (with V headstock), 3 single coil pickups and some rather strange switching options
This one appears to have had and extra mini-switch added that, as far as I can work out, seems to reverse the polarity of the neck pickup. There's a very versatile set of sounds available, including bridge and ... more

Ampeg VT-22 model 100w guitar amplifier, dating from 1975
A huge amp, both in sound and weight - best known as the model used in the studio by Keith Richards from Exile On Main Street onwards - throughout the 70s (though not this exact amp, of course)
I sourced this one from Northern Ireland, where it had been sat dormant for many decades. It is just back from Coopersonic Nottingham (the best in the business) who brought it back to life and it's now sounding incredible, albeit too loud ... more

A beautiful Italian-built solidbody electric guitar under the 'Buxom' name at the Polverini Bros' factory (who were also producers for Eko, et al).

Clearly inspired by a contemporary SG model, it features twin humbuckers, a double cutaway body and a striking Cherry Red finish
This one had a pot cavity fracture (much ... more

A beautiful Sakai bass, dating from circa 1970s - made in Japan
One of the notorious 'lawsuit' guitars which saw some Japanese manufacturers straying very close to the designs of their American contemporaries. As such, this bass shares many hallmarks with an equivalent Jazz Bass - namely a beautiful dark, bound rosewood fingerboard with large block inlays
This one is recently strung with some lovely flatwounds - I'm unsure of the brand but they're in excellent condition and complement to... more
