    Orville by Gibson Firebird 1991 w. Case

    £1000 shipped - SOLD



    This is one of my "private stash" guitars. All original, with 1991 Gibson pickups and banjo tuners. It's scary powerful and resonant. Sounds like: "An SG on drugs and steroids, if it were born a Tele".

    A massively high class instrument needs to get in PROPER hands.

    The semi-hard case is SKB, lightweight and perfectly protective.

    1976 Greco EGC1000 EG 1000 Custom Cherry Burst + Case 

    £850 SOLD


    Guitar must have had a fabulous life that led to its relic condition. Will last 50 more years with no problem.

    It was Greco's first year of EGC1000 production, built to Gibson's specs to date: sandwich mahogany+mahogany+maple body, maple+ebony neck. Neck is really, really thin. Mother of pearl inlays. Frets are original (polished/crowned)! Original U-3000 pickups. The only part that was changed there is the 3-way pickups selector. Loooots of dings, looooots of them! If you want a mint guitar, go away from this one without doubts.

    It has no serial, as pre-77 Grecos did not use them.

    Brand new, or vintage hard case - your choice.

    Greco EG480 1980 Cherry Burst + Case 

    £500 SOLD

    This one's special. Technically, it's a mid-range Super Power model,
    but also a semi-hollow construction like they did in the 70s, maybe the last ones they made in 1980.

    All original and untouched, as you can see in the controls cavity.
    Shipping with a brand new hard case.

    Frets are brand new.
    Guitar weighs 3.7kgs.

    ESP Navigator Esparto Strat + Case LH Lefty Left Handed 

    £970 SOLD

    Minimising my private collection further to make room for new guitars. This one is rare. Made in Japan at the ESP factory, Navigator is their domestic top shelf brand for copy models (Teles, Strats, LPs, etc).

    Specs:

    - Ash lightweight body. I believe it to be swamp ash, in particular.

    - Maple 7.25" / C shape neck.

    Upgrades:

    - Lindy Fralin USA Real54 pickups set. Terrific vintage/moderate modern pickups, with lots of clarity and dynamics.

    - Bourns premium pots, hand selected (by me) to work the best way in this particular guitar. Volume is log, tone is linear.

    - USSR K40-Y9 0.01uf capacitor, the best you can get for the tone knob. Also carefully selected for optimal performance of the tone knobs. I kept the original pickguard and pickups selector toggle (it is a 3-way, by the way).

    - Vintage stamped steel saddles.

    - Professional copper shielding for reduced noise.

    Brand new ABS hard case.

    Shipping to UK/EU is tax free.

    It's a no-nonsense professional vintage specs instrument, with a guaranteed "wow factor".

    Peavey Tracer USA LH Lefty Left-Handed w. OHSC 

    £600 SHIPPED

    That's the one you really want for the sound. I've owned: Ibanez Joe Satriani JS2000, Ibanez USRG30, Jacksons Japan, and kept this Peavey instead of them all. It is very, very good.

    The neck is an asymmetrical thin compound profile. A C on the thin side, and a D on the thicker side. Mega-comfortable to play. 16" fretboard.

    Bridge humb is Dimarzio. This guitar kicks butt. Kahler Floyd tremolo. Original LEFTY hard case, how cool is that?
    I am located in EU, so EU/UK shipping is customs/tax - free.

    1990 Greco EG500 EG 59-60 + Case LH Lefty Left handed 

    £780 SOLD

    The one and only Les Paul you will ever need. Very, very reluctantly downsizing my personal part of the collection. The part you don't usually see on sale.

    It's a 1990. All original and in great condition. It does absolutely everything a Les Paul must, and does it breathtakingly well.

    The back of the headstock has a lacquer crack, which is cosmetic, but serves as a great reminder that LPs are mortal and they should be taken seriously.

    Warmoth Jaguar 2012 Tobacco Burst LH Lefty + Case 

    £1000 SOLD

    Time to sell my first guitar built to the specs I wanted.

    I was its only owner.

    Built in 2012 in the USA, at the Warmoth factory.

    Swamp ash body, reasonably light for a large guitar such as a Jag. The body is technically a Jazzmaster and will accept any Strat / JM neck. Finished in urethane, black / tobacco burst. Reasonably scratched from 7 years of home use.

    Neck is very lightly figured maple (minor flames here&there), thin C profile, 11" slab ebony fretboard. Nickel frets. It's a 24-3/4" conversion neck (fits Strats & Jazzmasters). Graphite nut. Very well set up. Gotoh nickel vintage tuners that never go out of tune. EVER.

    The neck has been in use for so many years that it's safe to say it is ultra stable and won't twist or cause you any problems. Finished in urethane.

    It has two Fender Custom Shop John Cruz Limited pickups that I bought from a CS Strat owner that was selling its pickups. They are in the "Texas Special" sort of direction of tone.

    Switching is: lower two pots are 250k vol + 250k tone, and 3-way pickups selector for regular single mode. On the horn is a master 2-way selector (regular singles / two singles in series aka "humbucker" ), and 1m vol + 1m tone for the series/humb mode. The humbucking mode works wonderfully with these pickups, and is an instant wow effect when you switch to it. The lower vol knob is also a push-push with a vol & tone bypass in the up position. Adds that extra bite & sparkle when you want it.

    Currently equipped with a Kluson ABR1 bridge, and an aluminum stopbar. You can use Duesenberg LesTrem II with it if you need a tremolo.

    Gator Jazzmaster hard case. It's a very serious professional instrument so please no ridiculous offers on it. Thanks for reading so far.
