What's Hot

edited February 2023 in Guitars £
I got the collecting bug quite badly over the past 2 years and have acquired far too many guitars for my skill set!!  So, the following are all available, with regards to the Les Pauls, I will be keeping one of them, so whichever sells first can go!!!

I am always open to offers/trades and definitely after a charvel telecaster (joe duplantier cheap one ideally) I need a telecaster neck to go with a charvel ash body. cambs/northants/beds border. could deliver, would definitely prefer people try the guitars before they buy, but lets see what happens. Any questions, please just ask

Corvus Guitarworks Blackguard Tele £800.00

Love a telecaster and this is the real deal.  However, i am finding i am not going to this one as much as i thought i would, and it is really wasted on me.  The neck is fat!! proper baseball style, and from what i can ascertain, the following specs may apply:
Blackguard swamp ash body
Mojo broadcaster pick ups
12" radius neck
cts pots

Don't know an awful lot more about it, but i would suggest that the neck is an acquired taste!! it is fat!!  relic looks great, and nitro aged top look awesome.  Beautiful to play and sounds the money too.  I think the corvus chap is on this forum... this is way above USA tele standard

Ibanez Sold!!

Ibanez Baritone RGD320 with Bareknuckle Pickups £350.00

https://photos.app.goo.gl/SsfeHLL4TXb9i9Ec6

Took this on a trade a while back.  Not my cup of tea really, but long term plan was to put the bareknuckle pickups into one of the gibson les pauls listed below, but as i have never got round to doing it, i probably never will!!
Guitar overall is in lovely condition.  I have tried to show any marks.  There are cracks in the paint at the neck heel which is common.  From paying it for 30 odd mins, all was bang on. Lovely ibanez neck too, and pickups have bite! I believe these are Bare Knuckle PainkIllers.  Retail at some £300 for a pair.  Anyhow, as i never play this one, could do with freeing up funds.

    2015 model i believe, quartersawn neck (this changed later on) Mexican made. Looks awesome. Slight hairline crack at neck pocket, but overall great condition.  Quartersawn neck offers improved stability, and many believe this series are the best players.  I have a 2011 mij and a 2018 mim socal, and though long and hard about which ones to sell.  Basically, love the green, but i'd suggest tohave a guitar this loud, you need to be able to back it up with your playing!!! rare find in this colour.

    Thanks very much @Teyeplayer !

    If I remember rightly the neck is around 24mm:1st, 24.5 or 25mm:12th, C shaped. So a chunk, something like Kotzen sigs, Nocasters and the like.
    Not much else to add except bakelite p/g, Gotoh Intune saddles modded to take vintage screws, tuners are either Gotoh or Kluson. Most of the screws came from a Crazy Parts blackguard pack.

  • Cheers Bill for commenting. It's a fantastic piece of work, and as wall art would be more than happy if I keep it. Thing is, I know this would serve a pro player so well,  so really does feel wasted in my hands.
    Thanks again
