Hi all

£400. British made guitar. I'm not sure if it's a Jewel or a Retro. I have upgraded the stock pickups to the Oil City Blitz Spirit Customs - using an alnico 4's instead of 2's. I have also added a JJ freeway switch which gives the three standard humbucker positions plus 3 split coil combinations - all hum cancelling. The pots have also have been upgraded. 

There are a few marks and dings as shown in the pics.

It's a lovely guitar but I'm playing more bass now and can't justify have 9 guitars and only 2 basses. 

On a previous cull it survived and my old Les Paul Traditional didn't. IMO It played better than the LP and had a clean tone I liked. But God did the LP look good.

Collection from High Wycombe only. Trades will be considered for basses only please.

    Nice to see one in any colour other than vintage sunburst!

    Is that a dark blue burst or a black grey burst?

    I have seen this guitar in 'the flesh' so to speak and can confirm it's a dark blue burst

    Photos in the thread would be good, rather than just the lazy link ...
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    So now that Photobucket has finally gotten sooo s**t that those of us that were clinging onto it for convenience sack have had to jump ship what is the best alternative for posting individual links to a thread like this ?
    I must confess that I'm tip toeing round IMGUR but like Dave I have found myself posting up a link to a folder of pics rather than embedding links to individual pics as before

    Great price for this JJ.

    I just can't get over how many quality guitars end up in High Wycombe. For a town with no guitar shops I'm perhaps surprised considering it's a town full of students...

  • I think when you're a student with £50k of debt, what's another £2k on an quality guitar.

    should be mahogany neck/body - thin veneer figured maple top + rosewood f/board - as stated above a lot of guitar for £400

    Agreed. Having been a JJ user in the past, £400 is a steal for someone. They’re excellent quality guitars that don’t quite get the appreciation they deserve.
