SOLD elsewhere Price drop - Rivolta Mondata VIII £700 + postage

Rivolta Mondata VIII -£750

Tip top condition. There's one tiny black speck on the gold pickguard that I've included in the photos. 

Plays brilliantly and I was bowled over by the Firebird-style pickups. Sparkly when you want them to be and girthy under gain if you want that too! Plenty of pickup options with quacky "2" and "4" sounds too. I personally really liked the "all 3 pickups on" setting for maximum massiveness + articulation. All original apart from the massive (and cool as hell) control knobs I put on. I can probably dig out the tacky gold ones if it's a total dealbreaker... 

Trade wise I'm potentially interested in a variety of stuff but as always cash is king.  

Trades/px:

Gretsh semi/hollow

Jazzmasters

Mustangs

Something with WRHBs 

Something with P90s 

Peavey 6505/EVH 5150 head

Fender Princeton Combo

Vox AC15 

A nice delay pedal, preferably something versatile with a decent max delay time. 

Can meet in / around greater Manchester and you're very welcome to try out at my home in South Manchester and can post in a hardcase!

These are fantastic guitars. I have the same guitar, same colour, but with a Bigsby, also have the Baritone version. 

Incredible value for money.  Fabulous build quality.

Thanks for the kind words sir. They are lovely instruments indeed. 

I have a Les Trem going spare that I could include with this at a slight upcharge if the buyer were so inclined...

I'm quite pleased In a way this isn't open to postage, stops me spending money on a guitar I don't need, but really like the look of. It really has a great vintage vibe. I need to try one out I'm a shop sometime.

Alas, I know that feeling well. If you're ever in the North West give me a shout and you can have a play. I've got a decent amp and make a cracking brew.

Point of view: your new guitar?

Any trades out there? Feel free to tempt me.

Some interest on trades but nothing materialised just yet bump

Been listening to a lot of Venom Prison. Dare I open up trades for something Jacksony/Charvelly with a Floyd?

Thanks! Think they're from Etsy, searched something like "vintage radio knobs".

Whoa, Nath, that looks amazing mate. I’d never be cool enough to wield such a beast even if I did have the spare cashish. 

I’m sure you will get what your looking for, trade of sale. 

Nathan is a top man to deal with folks. 

TheMarlin

How is this not sold? These are frikin awesome guitars

Cookiemonster

I think if this had postage it would get snapped up. Maybe you can get a box ? I am sure someone one here might have one spare

THR1LLHAU5

Thanks for all the kind words gents. It is a really nice player, same old story where I daren't pick it up now in case I fall back in love. 

Good call, Cookie. I think I have got a couple of hardcases but I'll need to check if this fits nice and snugly. Wouldn't be opposed to posting if I could get a box.

THR1LLHAU5

Right I've got a box and a hardcase. Postage is back on the menu, boys. 

THR1LLHAU5

Hangover bump.

Price drop. Surely a deal at £700?
