I'm determined to get my electrics down to three, which means making some hard decisions.
SC Relics Stratocaster + Gator Hard Case - SOLDFirst up is an SC Relics Stratocaster. It is a light relic, and finished in nitrocellulose lacquer. It is based on Tom Delonge's (Blink 182) Strat. Fender did a signature version some years ago as well.
It weighs 6lb 15oz (3.1kg), and is routed for HSS. It has a rosewood fretboard and the neck is a comfortable C profile - like Fender modern C. There is a bit of wear on the neck, but no fret wear. It has a Fender hardtail bridge.
It has a Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge and a single volume control. I was going to change the pickups to HSS/SSS, but didn't get around to it. It is in pretty much new condition (if you can say that about a relic).
The hard case is in great condition.
It is light and resonant. And made in the UK

£675 (NOW £600) including UK postage. SOLD
SC Relics Telecaster + Kinsman Hard Case - SOLDThis UK made, SC Relics Telecaster is great. It has Monty's Full Monty pickups, and has loads of depth to the sound. It is quite a heavy relic. The rosewood is really dark, and the neck is a C profile, perhaps like Fender Deep-C profile. Just very comfortable. This is about the hardest to part with, because although the looks are a bit marmite, it plays really nicely. It has a Gotoh bridge with brass saddles.
It has a black bakelite pick guard made by Hosco. It weighs 7lb 12oz (3.5kg).
The case is has one or two mark on the outside, but is in very good condition overall.

Harley Benton SC Special - SOLD
This has been my test guitar for pick ups and bridges etc. It is in fairly average condition. The Roswell pickups need soldering in, and the nut needs a bit of attention, and some new strings. There is a little yellowing in the finish particularly near the pickup selector switch. It is all original, but it has a few scuffs here and there.
It weighs 6lb 4oz (2.8kg).

I'd like
£75 (NOW £50) collected from Derby (I don't have a case and shipping seems prohibitively expensive, given the value). I could probably box it up if someone wants to take the risk and cost of shipping.
Happy to give this to a charity/school. But would need collecting and/or recipient to arrange postage
If you have any questions, just ask.

Just the Harley Benton left and I’m happy to take offers on it. Or if there’s anyone that wants it for a charity/school or something, I’m happy to give it away.
