Hope all is well.  

I have a very cool Gordon Smith from 1996 which was a custom build.  

Gordon Smith Gypsy single cutaway Solid thin body,Hand made in Manchester on the 5th December 1996, Unique custom specification, Humbucking neck pick up with coil tap, Mahogany body, one piece mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard,Tobacco burst body colour,Scale length 25.5”,Serial no: 7513

Complete with Stag gig bag

It’s a very cool guitar but I struggle without two pickups lol. 

Looking for a trade but will sell for £400 which I reckon is great value for an old Made in Britain guitar

That is so cool and the pickup is in the right place for me! What trades you looking for?

blueskunk

Yes, it’s a cool little guitar for sure. My daughter has just been playing it and loves it !!

To be honest, not exactly sure on trades. What you thinking ?

Strangefan

Ah man I don't know lol I need a ball park ! Are you wanting just guitars , or other instruments , what type of guitar do you like?

blueskunk

Sorry man. I like teles, sgs and that sort of thing. Could potentially add a bit of dosh.  

Strangefan

Aaah I don't do conventional , so nothing along those lines , think of me as the poor version of harry7

Haha that’s all good mate. I do like an ‘oddball guitar’ now and again

The coil tap actually works lovely so get a bit of variation.

Yeah me neither. Seen plenty of the bridge pickup only but none like this. The coil tap is good and gives some variation of tone.

Would potentially swap for a Taylor Mini GS or similar.

Qwerky Jem Bump

Bump for a cool original one off U.K. made guitar.

Cracking looking guitar: I've just had a Gordon Smith drop into my life and it's astonishingly good quality for the money.  GLWTS

blueskunk

Nice one man. This was a one off build and really good quality, lovely lightweight mahogany body and neck.

Trades bump

What's the neck profile like? Slim, rounded, chunky etc? And whereabouts are you?
