FS/FT Gibson ES339, Silver Sky, Fender American Original 50s Telecaster, 1965 Jaguar
What's Hot
I've seen a few tempting things recently and there's only one way to satiate the GAS demon: by selling guitars I know I like and buy guitars I don't know if I will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All of them prices are PPG, but happy to listen to trades. Can meet around London, or happy to post at cost.
First off is a Gibson ES339 made in Memphis. Only marks are 3 hard to see round indentations along the lower bout (two of them seen in the second picture) - not sure what they are and when I showed it to a luthier he did not know how they were caused. Best guess is either nitro reaction or indentation caused by a guitar stand. Comes with its original case and paperwork. £1500 SOLD
Second is a Fender Limited Edition American Original 50s Telecaster White Blonde. These guitars are chambered so they are lighter than a typical AmOriginal, although this one is still ~3.1Kg. Comes with its original tweed case, all paperwork including hangtag etc... £1250 SOLD
Third is a PRS Silver Sky in Midnight Rose and rosewood fretboard. Not a mark in the body or neck, biggest flat is a tiny nick on top of the headstock. Comes with original bag and papers. £1750
Last one is a bit special. It's a players grade 1965 Fender Jaguar I bought here last year. It's far from original: long ago had a refin in black (which has checked nicely) and has seen changes in the bridge and, I believe, the pickguard. Has a lot of checks, dings and marks, including in the neck: this has been a guitar that has seen play. The reason for letting it go is the fretboard - it's likely to be brazilian rosewood and I am planning moving abroad sometime next year. I don't want to deal with the exporting paperwork so instead of rushing a sale then I'll put it out now to see what comes. Also, it doesn't have a case so I'd prefer this one to deal in person.
This guitar costed £2450 in April last year, but prices have blown up so I am not looking to sell. At the moment I am only looking to trade, ideally for a Les Paul R8 or a ES335 '59 reissue.

Enjoyable guitar to play and it's the first time I've had a Gibson that is basically perfect build and setup wise...
Glad you are enjoying it! It's a very nice guitar, definitely has it's own vibe. And, for a Gibson, no huge QC issues
