I've bought a couple of very nice guitars from people on here recently and with gig money just starting to trickle... I really should clear out some of the others. You are very welcome to come here (Leeds) and play them or I can meet up within reason and post as a last resort but I'll need to take your advice on who to use for shipping. The old Gibson has a hard case, I have one spare gig bag and one spare hard case... but I'll work with you.
G&L ASAT Classic - modded.USA Fullerton ASAT® Classic with CLF serial number but for some reason, G&L don't do the Bluesboy hollowbody in Fullerton so this has a Tribute body. It's still rear contoured swamp ash body with F hole and you can't tell them apart.
Standard USA spec (9.25 radius, medium jumbo frets etc) but this has a Seymour Duncan P-Rail in the neck which switched (convincingly) from single coil to P90 to humbucker via a mini toggle. Bridge pickup is a cloth wired vintage plus. Heads were changed but now back to G&L originals although it's left 6 screw holes. It plays beautifully and is incredibly versatile... but I have Brent Masons for that. £750
WARMOTH Drop Top 24 fret -very high spec Tele'
Every part was chosen specifically for the build and it uses the best of everything.
Chambered Warmoth body with selected AAAA figured maple 'drop' top with tummy and forearm contours, lowered neck pocket and easy access heel. Special order 24 fret, Wenge neck with tulipwood fingerboard and Warmoth’s ‘wizard’ profile (slim D). 6105 frets with 10-16 compound radius. Mother of Pearl inlays and graphtech nut.
Fender American standard hardtail bridge and Kluson machine heads Individual coil taps on push/pull pots, 3 way switch and a pair of Bare knuckle emerald pickups.
It's another incredibly versatile guitar, the Warmoth bill alone was over £1,600, then £300 for the pickups, plus hardware, assembly, setup etc - it was not a cheap guitar but my fast neck days are over. £750
1974 Gibson L6s DeluxeAll original except replaced machine heads (still 70's) very early L6-S Deluxe with 24 fret neck (the first solid body to have a double octave). Lots of high profile players used these - Carlos Santana, Mike Oldfield, Al Di Melos, Angus Young, Keef, Paul Stanley & Prince.
The body is the same shape as the L5S, like a wide but thin Les Paul but with two octaves. Bill Lawrence 'tar back' humbuckers are still measuring correctly and really do sound good. The necks on these had a unique “narrow at the nut then wider up the neck, there plenty online about it. £1,400
AVRI '52 Telecaster 2016 - SOLDOne of the cleanest you will find, the thin skin nitro means they often look relied, this has small paint flakes on one edge - it's fabulous but if I gig it, I'll ruin it. Absolutely complete with all the case candy, even the strap and 'vintage' lead.
MIJ double bound, Nashville style Tele - SOLDHosco (Japan) neck and body, Blackberry burst with cream binding front and back. Seymour Duncan neck & middle with Broadcaster bridge and 5 way switch.
2015 USA Fender Stratocaster American Special HSS - SOLDPretty much unplayed and with hang tags etc but I don't use the humbucker so I've bought DarcyM's Warmoth Strat which is more traditional. This is completely untouched and is all original spec.

Buy in confidence!
Isn't that one of the greatest things about guitars? Your tastes could be so different to mine that you might hate the ones that I play the most and think I'm selling the wrong ones.
