WTB: LP Special or Junior, 50s vintage, pref TV yellow

fretfinder

As above, I'm interested in buying a 50s LP Special or Junior, preferably in TV yellow but interested in a cherry DC or sunburst SC as well, either all-original or 'players grade'. Might also be interested in an early 1960 model if it has the bigger 59 neck.

I realise these are rather thin on the ground but you never know...!

Any interest in a Epi Japan LP Special in Cherry?  Not you're usual Epiphone stuff, it's the equivalent of a high end Orville, a really nice guitar - Might scratch the itch and save you a few quid

Many thanks for the offer but I wouldn't be interested in an Epiphone.

Does it need to be Gibson?

I'm that much of a brand snob that it probably does really!

An aged replica might do the trick but I'm not really looking for anything like a Collings P90 guitar if that's what you mean.

Might be interested in your Epi if it's available?

Thanks I have seen it. I’ve actually played that one and it’s a beauty but not for me. Ideally I’m after one with the original finish.

Nothing like taking your guitar into the barn :-)
