Antoria 1958 10 Watt Combo Celestion 44 Speaker Uber Rare. Doubt there is another one of these in this condition in the world when I got it it still had the 50's mains plug, so unused all these years ,important to note that it takes about 45 seconds for the light to come on after it's plugged in, then thirty secs after that the valve lights up and she kicks into life, design feature? Primitive standby feature? Pots are mildly scratchy but it is after all 65 years old all in all a great little ... more

This is a nice hollow body 1960s? Electric guitar made in Japan and marketed in the UK with the Antoria brand. Don't know much about it but it works OK. I am not an electric guitar player so cannot really judge the playability but the action seems fine and it is very playable. The neck is very narrow and is bound so could be good for jazz style. It is rosewood with MOP look alike fret markers. Frets are in good shape but have not been dressed in my ownersip but the fretboard has been ... more

That establishes its credentials as a fundamentally good ... more
