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

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

Quite an oddball guitar, here. The 'Custom' moniker was a brand applied to these Greco-made guitars, assumably for catalogue / in-house brands. It shares all the hallmarks of a 70s Greco, including the distinctive truss rod cover shape, but with a pearloid 'Custom' logo to the headstock
This model seems to be their reworking of both an LP Junior and custom, combing the usual lone Dogear shape with a 2x pickup configuration. It peculiarly features a rather nicely selected tight-grained ... more

Hi All.
For sale, I have a Japanese Kasuga W-10 acoustic guitar, made in 1970s Japan.
I cannot find another example of this particular model for sale anywhere, so this is a rare bird for sure - and in frankly excellent condition considering it is ~ 50 years old now.
Kasugas were well made in Japan (I believe mainly in the '60s and '70s) and based on classic high-performance American-made instruments and are typically of a high quality, which eventually contributed to ensuring a ... more
