Nice looking guitars.  GLWTS

The Cort is a fairly well known affair now. A very fine instrument, made with good woods and top parts and as you'd expect it plays like a high quality guitar. This was up for sale, then taken off, then put back because of the accidental arrival of a St Vincent. The similarities between the two guitars go very deep and it's only the feel of the Music Man neck and the very different aesthetics that set them apart. I thought this was going to be a real one trick pony guitar and only be good for chugging, squealing and dive bombs but it's a lot more than that. It's smooth playing, the neck is well rounded and the pickups have a much more even and vintage tone than I was expecting. 

The Epiphone is a beautifully made thinline with a gentle and mellow feel and sound. There is both an upside and a down to this particular one. It has had a complete head stock break back in its distant past and on the upside, it has a really really nice Lollar P90 in. The repair to the head is not the prettiest or most cosmetic work you'll ever see but it is totally solid and if you're not fussed about such things, it does make this a great bargain. It's currently strung with flat 12s that seems to suit it perfectly.

The Maybach is a beautifully built and beautifully aged version of the Les Paul. It has a big old neck but I find it really comfortable even though its much slimmer Fender style necks that I'm used to. The Amber pickups are as fabulous as their reputation suggests, they are sharp and clear and offer a more raspy warmth that the standard Gibson fair that I always find a little too wooly for my taste. It came to me from the rather lovely Doc C and it's back up for the same amazing price.

I think I've priced them all well and ideally a straight sale with collection or handover would be ideal. But always happy to hear trade ideas and I do have one box if anyone wants to talk about postage.

To add in the missing info I’ve been asked about. 

The Cort 8.5lbs
The Epi isn’t heavy enough to trigger the scales but another guitar at 6.5lbs is, so it’s less than that. 
The Maybach is a very trim 7 7/8lbs

Is there any way you could post the actual pics on the thread? I tried looking at the link you posted and I didn’t find it to be a very user-friendly experience to be honest. Unless it’s just me and my technophobia,  which is of course distinctly possible!

Awesome little hoard and I’m close. Maybe too close

I know, it's really not a good solution but my hosting site is down until I do some techy server setting stuff and well, lets say it's not my best area.

I'd very happily email you anything you'd like to see in the meantime.

You've totally proven my technical know how here. I've been using Box to host client image folders for over five years and not only did I not know that was possible, I'm not sure I quite get how you've done that. I am feeble

That looks an amazing guitar, beautifully aged and so light.  A steal at the price too.

Please explain that to me again @Andy79 ;;

I've always used Imgur - so now I can paste images directly from my iPhone?

As a former owner of that Maybach, it's a sensational guitar.  Those Amber pickups are amongst the best PAFs I've heard.

I copied that from your hosting link. You can’t copy directly from your iPhone photos as far as I know
