2018 Gretsch Electromatic 135th Anniversary
I bought this new from Coda when they were first released. In fact Doug was at the Gretsch stand at NAMM when I contacted him about grabbing one and we sorted out my order there and then!
It's in brand new condition as I've used it at home a lot due to it doubling as an acoustic when I'm noodling in the evenings.
It plays great, sounds excellent and really sustains if you want it to. I think the black top filtertrons are really great and I'd intended to swap them out but quickly changed my mind!
All the info and specs are here on the Gretsch site

Offers around £550 welcomed

TELE PLUS SOLD I have personally owned this telecaster plus since circa 1995. It was bought new by the gent that I bought it from to use as a stand in while his original 50's telecaster was in California with Fender for a refret!!!
Best known as the Jonny Greenwood telecaster this is all original, in exceptional condition, bar one tiny little chip on the back edge, and comes with the original case.
I had it re-fretted about 7 years ago as I played it a LOT when I was in my late teens and early 20's. It's had very little playing time since then for reasons I can't explain and is really about as clean as you'd expect for a guitar of this age.
I'd call the neck a D profile. It's not slim or skinny but it's not a C shape I don't think. The fretboard is DARK and really lovely under the fingers.
It's a decent weight, around 8lbs going by my bathroom scale checking and taking an average.
The lace sensor pups are really excellent and nothing like "noiseless" or other pups of this ilk. The mini toggle lets you select either of the bridge single coils or pair them up for full humbucker mode. The neck pickup is sublime, it is really full frequency and strong.
Offers around £1250 welcomed. I can post as I have a box and packing but it would be at the arrangement, cost and risk of the buyer. Collection from Central Scotland preferred and I'm happy to travel to meet halfway too

The neck has some lovely figuring and it's a great dark piece of rosewood board. All the screws and hardware have aged nicely and are slightly dulled too and even the pickguard isn't white, it's lost its stark white-ness and looks really cool. I guess I haven't really noticed these details before as I've seen it everyday for 25 years!!
